, = link the next attack after preceding move's recovery

▷ = After landing.

jc = jump cancel

hjc = high jump cancel

CH = Counter Hit

IAD = Instant Air Dash

(N) = only use the Nth attack of the move (for example, if j.B(2) is written, you only use the first two hits of j.B)

[X] = Hold input X.

]X[ = Release input X.

{???}xN = Repeat ??? N amount of times.

4A	4AAA > dl j.236A, 4AA > 5A > 2C, 4AAA > j.214A~A/B/C	Any	5851			Twitter	Universal solo midscreen BnB. Finicky on Platinum, Jubei, Teddie, Linne, Orie, Vatista, MNika, and Heart, but still works - just a much stricter timing window on the j.236A delay timing.
4A	4AAA > dl j.236A, 4AA > 5AAA > 5BB > 214B~A/B/C	Any	6095			Twitter	CHARACTER SPECIFIC ROUTE. Works on: Noel, Rachel, Hakumen, Makoto, Izayoi, Nine, Naoto K., Susanoo, Es, Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Akihiko, Elizabeth, Labrys, Adachi, Wald, Blitztank
4A	4AAA > dl j.236A, 4A > 5AAA > 5BB > 2B > 214B~A/B/C	Any	6225			Twitter	CHARACTER SPECIFIC ROUTE. Works on: Noel, Tager, Makoto, Izayoi, Celica, Nine, Naoto K., Es, Yosuke, Akihiko

4A	4AAA > j.236B, 5AA > 2C, 5AAA > 5B > 236B+C	Corner	8219		2	Twitter	Optimal if committing to super ender.
4A	4AAA > j.236B, 5AAA > 5BB > 236B+P	Corner	6006+	X	1 Cross Gauge		Reset setup. Sets up a sandwich against all techs except forward ground tech. Effectiveness depends on assist used.
4A	4AAA > j.236B, 4AAA > j.236B, 2A > 236B, 214A/dl 214B+C	Corner	5821+		0/2	Twitter	Unjumpable grab setup on block against forward/backward airtech. 236B will hit opponent if they don't airblock from the airtech.

Combo Theory

Kanji is somewhat limited in launching hits but can deal plenty of damage on air hits. Most of his important routes involve the 4AAA > dl j.236A, 4A link and linking off of air hit 2C into either 2A or 4A. All knockdowns allow him to end with Additional Cruel Attack, which puts him right next to the opponent with enough advantage for a safejump. Outside of that, a lot of deeper combo understanding will involve taking advantage of combo timer to set up interesting resets.

Resets

All a tech trap reset is is catching the opponent right when and where they air tech, generally with a command grab. This can be done off general reads (dropping an air combo on purpose then delaying 214B to catch the opponent where they tech), or with specific setups.
On an airborne opponent, 5A 236Cxxj.214B can be a reset that catches all techs. A common way to do this is assist 5BB 5A 236Cxxj.214B+D. Video Example
On a similar note, 4AA 236Cxxj.214B can also be a reset on airborne/otg opponents that catches forward and back air tech in the corner. You can also do 4AA 236Cxxj.214B midscreen to catch all techs.
Unjumpable grab resets are done by having the opponent block something in the air, then be stuck in landing frames when they land. The most common way of getting this can be seen in the 4A starters tab. Video Example
214B is also commonly used for tech trap resets.
You can commonly tick grab reset with 214A/214B+C in the middle of combos if the opponent is on the ground.
You can switch right on any reset to start a combo with your other character off of it. All resets can be used with assist to continue with a combo afterward. It is recommended to do this on resets for unburstable kill confirms, or generally just to combo off it.
NEW TO 2.0: 214[B] resets can be done at any time you hit the opponent in the air with 5BB to catch forward and back tech. Video Example
Resets are gimmicky. By giving this knowledge to you, a Kanji player (or someone trying to learn how to get out of Kanji resets), I trust these secrets in your hands...
