Thank you Zukuu for that frame guide or that meterless combo wouldn’t have gotten as high as it did. Dudley REALLY needs that 1 bar to do his damage
If you want to pull that kind of thread off, you need to have a set plan and an active member that updates the firsts posts, and picks out the good combos for each character. Just posting stuff in a thread is as productive as posting it in the general discussion. For characters that have a “practical” and an “optimum” combo ala EWFG, you need to have at least 2 versions listed. If you have multiple anti airs or CH starters too. You really only should include what is needed tho. I mean, I could post the whole Paul combo thread, but that wouldn’t make sense.
Actually, you can end it with another EX Onikubigari which will actually get both hits. And might as well throw in a counter hit for extra damage to start since a jumping normal will only decrease the damage

Also, since no one has put up Cammy, I’ll get it started.
Meterless
[363] Cammy [cl.HK xx j. TKCS, cl. HP, s. HP xx Cannon Spike]
661 damage - j.HP (counterhit) st.HP xx ex Shaolin spin kicks, j.HP, cr.HP xx junkyard kick (must be done midscreen otherwise the wall bounce from ex shaolin kicks wont be far enough for a j.hp to connect after it)
Ill try some more now
EDIT: Didnt read the counter hit OR jump in part, still, 661 instead of 691 is still better than the OG combo posted
Lars (EDIT: It dawns on me that after avalanche stomp, you can link into st.hp into Rising storm, then the rest of the combo. Where or not this would increase the damage remains I’ve yet to test. Will update as soon as I can. Also pretty sure that post launch combo could be better)

Gotta love it, Cody bottom on all of the mid screen combos and top in the corner only. Good thing he has such good walk speed and options to keep people in the corner in this game! O wait…
Seriously though, I can get 380 damage meterless mid screen off of a counterhit close s.MP in SF4 with Cody. You’d think he’d at least be able to match that in SFxT
Keep in mind boost and tag combos exist. Many characters will get their best damage and practical combos via boost.
Take poor Abel, solo damage is lacking, but fMK>sHP>launch is one of the best boost routes in the game. Cody is similar, he can link two fiercest before launch, that will be hefty boost damage. And then other characters like ken. Dudley, or Yoshi are always gonna be setting up big tag ins.
I updated everything (still correcting the notation so it’s not yet saved…)
@Gemakai
You have overlooked “counter hit OR jump in” for all your max dmg combos. I calculated the non-ch values for them. However, for Elena it results in this:
[547] Elena [MP Mallet Smash, c.MP xx MK Rhino Horn, c.MP xx MK Rhino Horn, Super Art]
[547] Elena [j.HP, c.MP xx MK Rhino Horn, c.MP xx MK Rhino Horn, Super Art]
Is ch MP Mallet Smash then a better option?
You might wanna check if the other max dmg combos are still state of the art as well.
And please confirm the Dudley combo.^^
@Ogre
Can someone confirm the that the combos for Ogre that @Kwazi posted still work in v2013 and adjust the damage if necessary?
[433]Steve[st.Hp xx flicker stance, stance cancel, cr.hp xx ducking skyscraper, m.ducking skyscraper, m.ducking skyscraper, ducking body > ducking hook, walk forward a tiny bit, cr.hp xx sonic fang]
Holy crap that was annoying to get. The ducking body > ducking hook must hit high enough and you also have to hold down back to stance cancel the target combo before walking forward.
oh well back to the lab
