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
BBP (barge barge punch, or barge barge palm) refers to b+1+2,1+2,qcf+2. This is Leo's highest damage ender, but gives poor oki. Other enders such as f+4~DF >ws3,1 are recommended for oki.
