COMBOS

• Air Combos
• Knee Upper Combos
• Slam Combos
• Hunting Middle Kick Combos
• Head Crumble Combos
• Stomach Crumble Combos
• Vital Area Crumble Combos
• Back Stagger Combos

The large number of combos may at first be intimidating, but for each Combo section listed above, you can probably get away with only knowing/using one or two combos which work in any stance against any character. To really maximize combo damage though, you should pay attention to stance and opponent weight. This can be said for any character really.

Apart from the first sub-section, Air Combos, each sub-section has some notes about each combo which basically explain what situation to use the combo in. The first sub-section spells it out for you in a huge table.

The following abbreviations are used throughout this section:

• NH - Normal Hit
• CH - Counter Hit
• 1ST - 1st hit Stagger
• C - Closed Stance
• O - Open Stance

Air Combos

The following combos, while no means complete, are representative of the various combos Brad can perform across all the character weights and in either stance. The combo-scaled damages are shown to give you an idea of the damage potential involved. The total damage of a combo, of course, depends on the first move you started with. A number of combo starters are shown in the second table.
