- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Should never have a space immediately after it.
- ↑ Not "for stance transition", which has no special notation and is written the same as any other input.
- ↑ Not Heat Available, which is not notated, since the only move done from that is Heat Burst, which is simply written 2+3.
Bread n' butter
Bread n' butter combos are juggles that:
- Work on as many different launchers as possible
- Work on all body sizes
Launchers that require unique combos go straight to § Staples.
- df+2
- ws+2
- uf+4
- SS 3+4
- f,f+3+4 (throw)
- 4,u+3 ⏵ b+2 ⏵ b+2,1 T! ⏵ 4,3~F DSS f+4
- 4,u+3 ⏵ f,f+4 ⏵ 2 ⏵ f,f+2,3 T! ⏵ 4,3~F:DSS.f+4 (69)
Slightly more difficult, the f,f+2,3 needs a deep dash for the 2 to connect.
- Somersault launch (UF+4)
(note that the regular hopkick is uf+4, but if you hold the direction for longer, you get UF+4)
