Core Combos

Core combos balance potency with consistency. They:

Work against most characters of a selected weight or hurt box type
May require moderate adjustments to account for variables such as screen position, hit count, resources, and opposing character
Are expected to be consistently performable by most intermediate and advanced players who main the character

Combo Theory

Note: This is all still a work in progress. Subject to change, and even removal, as things are discovered and patched.

Move	Utility
5S > 6S~S > jc	Important confirm off of grounded normals. Launches the opponent and allows for a combo extension with j.2S or j.S
OTG 5B	5B is Inquisitor's best tool for continuing combos off the ground, such as after j.M

Specialized Combos

Specialized combos are advanced routes which require more knowledge and awareness, but offer advantages over core routes. They:

Can have any number or combination of requirements and conditions—character, spacing, hit count, resource, or situation specific
Offer some advantage over core routes; be that in damage, corner carry, okizeme, meter gain, etc.
Might not necessarily be harder than core combos, but require more specific circumstances and knowledge to execute
