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.

Regular launch (e.g. df+2): 1+4 d+2,2,B df+1,2,1 T! 3,2,NSS.1+2

Pickup launch (e.g. NSS 1+4): d+2,2,B df+1 d+2,2,2 T! 3,2,NSS.1+2

Instant Tornado (e.g. dgf.2,4): (1ss) f2,1 3~4u DGF.f1+2; (NSS) f3+4 1+4 3~4u DGF.f1+2

Staples

Staple combos are juggles that:

Can be done consistently by a skilled player
Either work on all body sizes, or the characters it does work on are comprehensively listed
Are not strictly worse than another combo listed in terms of difficulty, damage, wall carry, and oki

↑ Deals 60 self damage 1 frame afterwards
↑ Requires on-axis or SSL. NSS.f+3+4 after tornado must hit meaty
