Taka special, use alternatively, ending with trades 2 damage for harder tech roll. If Taka doesn't tech, scrap with another . ender does more damage outright but less overall after the scrape (52 combo + 20 scrape = 72), does less damage outright but more after the scrape (50 combo + 25 scrape = 75)520

Completely universal and fairly easy combo. A good default route if you are not looking for anything difficult or character specific.
A great beginner combo803 -
CH ► ► ►
Inputting as One Frame Kill where a dash input makes the move come out one frame later. Manual delay is also doable.

If hits just as the opponent collides with the ground it causes a bounce. The timing is automatic on Lau, Kage, Lei, Goh, Akira, Jacky, Jean, Jeffry and Wolf. So Brad and light characters require a manual timing, the combo still works if you are late, it just becomes techable.620

The first hit staggers if the opponent is both crouching and blocking, allowing the rest of the string to combo. The stagger doesn't happen on counterhit or on normal hit when the opponent is not holding guard. Very strange string.600
