Notes
Combos with more than 1 rep of qcf+1 filler require frame-perfect timing and increasingly strict positioning
Longer qcf+1 routes typically drop if Paul is off axis left or heavily off axis right
All instances of ws4 are done as CD4. The normal iWS input is not fast enough in most cases
Routes with ws3 or ws4 typically drop if Paul is off axis right or heavily off axis left
4 filler after high launch is easier and more consistent than qcf+1, but deals less damage and cannot be looped
qcf+1 pushes axis leftward with each rep
wr2 or 1 > wr2 can be used in place of all 2 > wr2 enders for simpler execution and 1-3 less combo damage
wr2 can be used in place of all 1 > wr2 enders for simpler execution and 1 less combo damage
DPD.3+4 can and should be used in place of any post-Tornado ender or after a high wall splat
1 > wr2 and 2 > wr2 can be partially buffered (see Paul tech for details)
wr2 and jab > wr2 enders may require sidestep (usually SSR) after Tornado to be flush with opponent's feet
Demoman (d+4,2:1+2) can be used as an ender for most SWA.1+2 T! routes. Usually less damage than jab > wr2 even with perfect input, but vital for wall carry/splat at a distance
Demoman may require SSL to fully to connect after some Tornadoes
Demoman will not fully connect at high scaling
f,F+3,4,4, DPD.2,1, f,F+2:1, ws3,2 and qcf+1 can be used in place of most wr2 enders and are ideal for splatting at ranges where Demoman is too close for a wall ender conversion
qcf+1 loops become more lenient if opponent is launched while backturned

Heat
Heat Burst
Most max damage Heat Burst combos follow the route of a regular max damage combo, replacing the ender with 2+3 > H.qcf+2~F > qcf+2. Exceptions to this rule are starters that leave Tornado unavailable.
