Starters

Keep in mind: The combos in the "Combos" section have been tested using the first starter in each category (the combos in Bold).
The other starters in each table should also work in each case, but may not.

Light Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
2B > 2A	38	Standard light confirm. You can technically get three lights, but you need to be fairly close to the opponent.
cl.B > 2A > 2A	75	Optimal low confirm off her low cl.B.

Heavy Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
cl.C/2C > 6A	117	Standard heavy starter.
cl.D > 6A	127	Slower than both close and 2C and has a less safe far button attached, but has better damage and activation proximity.

Other Starters

Combo	Damage	Notes
CD	75
6A	60	Overhead Quick Max starter. Not an overhead when canceled into.
cl.D ~ D	137	Special-cancellable launcher target combo, can be optimal.
41236K	0	Deicide can cancel into some specials that give followup opportunities.
