Combos

• f+4,1 does 2 less damage than ws2,4 @ max scaling (30%)
• f+4,1 carries slightly further than ws2,4
• f+4,1 hits off axis where ws2,4 wouldn’t
• f+4,1 hits faster and further than ws2,4
• d+4,4,u+3,f~N can pick up in some cases where b+3,3,f~N can’t, such as late contact spring kick
• off axis launch 4,u+3,f~N, f+4,1 S! b+2,f~N(x2) f+2,1
  • second b2 sometimes not possible at bad angle
  • need deep mist step to connect f+4,1 (delay it)
• new max carry with f+4,1, difficult and quite inconsistent:
  • on axis launch SSR 4,u+3 b+2,f~N(x4) f+4,1 S! f+2,1
  • need deep mist step to connect f+4,1 (delay it)
  • b+2,f~N(x4) f+4,1 S! f+2,1 works without any sidestep in these combos:
    • HMS2 4,u+3
    • ws2,3 d/f+3+4,f~N S! d+2
    • CH Sway 4 d2(x2)
    • CH HMS 4 ws2,3
