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
  • 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, 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 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.
