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): f,F+2,F SEN.3 df+2 df+1 f+2,3,F SEN.2 T! uf+3+4,1+2

Instant Tornado (e.g., low parry): T! f,F+2,F SEN.3 df+2 df+1 f+2,3,F SEN.1,qcf+2
