The King of Fighters XV/King of Dinosaurs/Combos

Combos

General Notes

• Light Starter will denote a 2B, 2A starter. Assume any combos with this starter will also work off of heavy starters. Other light starters include, but not limited to:
  • 2A x2
  • 5B

• Heavy Starter will denote a 2C > 4A starter. 2C has the most range of Dinosaur's cancellable heavies, advances him forward in cancels, and forces stand so that 4A consistently combos. Other heavy starters include, but not limited to:
  • c.D/c.C > 4A
  • 2C/c.D/c.C > 6A
  • (cancel) 236CD, 2C > 4A
• Any combo using aforementioned starters can be used after a jump in.

Meterless

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light Starter > 63214A	197	60	0	26%	Anywhere	Will only work from near point-blank.
2B > Rush Autocombo (B Ender)	227	60	0	32%	Anywhere	Technically optimal, but has even more limited range than the above combo.
Light Starter > 236A	149	140	0	19%	Anywhere	Works from slightly further than 63214A.
Light Starter > 2A > 236A(1) > AB	117	220	0	16%	Anywhere	If too far, must cancel 236A early, otherwise the second hit will whiff and you will be punishable.
Heavy Starter > 63214A	271	170	0	35%	Anywhere	Works consistently from all ranges if using 2C > 4A or 2C.
Heavy Starter > 236C	259	270	0	33%	Anywhere	More consistent when using non-2C starters.
Heavy Starter > 236C(2), 5D > 4214D	421	300	0	55%	Corner	Big meterless damage.
5D, 236C	201	140	0	26%	Corner	Reaction confirm off of a stray poke near the corner. Can be followed up with 214BD or Climax.
CD > 236B (whiff), 236C	165	170	0		Anywhere	The 236B must be a cancel, and whiffs on block. Comboing from a midscreen CD is very difficult without this cancel, unfortunately.
CD > 5D > 236C(2) > AB, c.D	292	320	0		Corner	Only works if spaced far enough for far D.

EX

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D	294	160	0.5	32%	Midscreen	236AC connects from max range 2A, making it a great confirming option midscreen. Will not work at all if near the corner, unfortunately.
Light Starter > 236AC, 214B	195	60	0.5	18%	Corner	Strictly not recommended. Use this if you accidentally autopilot 236AC and want to keep the corner. In general, spending 0.5 Bar in the corner isn't worth it when using a light starter.
Light Starter > 214BD	179	60	0.5	5%	Anywhere	Quick sideswap. Not recommended if the opponent is cornered.
Heavy Starter > 236C, 214BD	371	270	0.5	33%	Anywhere	Quick sideswap as well as some extra damage. Not recommended if the opponent is cornered.
Heavy Starter > 236AC, 4A > 4214D	368	270	0.5	40%	Midscreen
Heavy Starter > 236BD, 2C > 5A > 236C(2) > AB, 5D > 4214D	423	470	0.5	70%	Corner	Similar damage to the meterless variant, albeit with more stun. Might be worth the bar?

1 Bar

Combo	Damage	Stun	Meter cost	Meter Gain	Location	Notes
Light Starter > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214B	322	100	1	27%	Anywhere	Avoid using the 214B if you have the opponent cornered, otherwise you will lose the corner and your oki.
5B > 236A(1) > 236236B, 214B	314	70	1	23%	Anywhere	Ranged 5B confirm. Cancel 236A(1) into AB on block.
Heavy Starter > 236C(2) > 236236B, 214B	407	230	1	39%	Midscreen
Heavy Starter > 236C(2) > AB, 5D > 236236B, 214B	503	300	1	50%	Corner	Loses all momentum. Only worth if it'll close the round, otherwise do the meterless route.

Light Starter > 236AC, 236C(2) > 236236B, 214B	357	90	1.5	27%	Corner	Inferior version of the above combo. Sends the opponent back towards the corner, but lacks oki.
