Since there seems to be no restrictions on the start-up of the first move…

I made a typo in Xiaoyu’s post tag:
[399] Xiaoyu [c.HP xx CADC, cl.HP xx Phoenix stance, stance cancel, c.MK xx MP Hakkesho, Storming Flower]
is the correct version
I knew I was missing something in Xiaoyu’s Deluxe combo. My apologies:
[578] Xiaoyu [(corner, ch) cl.HP xx Phoenix stance, EX Double Map Sweep, c.LP, c.MK xx Phoenix stance, EX Double Map Sweep, c.LP, c.MK xx Phoenix stance, EX Double Map Sweep, c.LP, c.MK xx Rain Dance, Turn of Fortune>d, HP Wave Crest, walk forward, cl.HP xx Phoenix stance, stance cancel, cl.HP xx Phoenix stance, stance cancel, cl.HP xx Hakkesho, Storming Flower]
The one I put before would actually do 567. I’ll see tonight if I can extend this combo further for more dmg, because while I have some ideas, I cannot test them right now.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking as well. I would very much prefer this thread to be a compilation of each character’s most practical and damaging/optimal combos for the listed situations, but maybe we can just have another thread for that
To make practical and optimal combos, all we have to do is copy paste the “best” combo from each character’s character discussion thread and see if any1 who plays the character(s) has anything to say about em + check for damage changes since lots of them may still be in pre-2013 version.
Too bad people are too lazy/not motivated enough to contribute to that thread. It was a good idea but a questionable thread title lol.
btw Yoshimitsu sucks combo wise on his own. So showing solo Yoshi combos on video will give a bad representation of the character. He does a measly 365 on his own. But with any partner who has a decent BnB he easily lands around 500 for 1 bar and almost 700 for 2 gemless.
