For the combos from , against lightweights combo 8 will connect in closed stance, combo 10 will work in open. For middle weights, 12 in closed stance and 13 in open stance. With this combo starter, there are many character specific combos. Against kage and brad in closed stance, combo 9 is guaranteed, against goh in closed stance and Shun in open stance go for 11. Combo 9 will connect against wolf in either stance, whereas you should use 12 and 14 against Jeffrey depending on his foot stance. The combos from the (second hit counter) are fairly much the same as the combos. Depending on the hit conditions, the float height might vary, but while considering foot stance, try out the combos.

When foot or vital point crumple occurs, you can generally go for the same combos. 31 works on lightweights with vital point crumple. For combos 32-34, divide them by weight classes. Be carfeful though because you can only land 35 on Pai when she is in open stance. Also, 35 and 36 are combos where you don't cancel the flamingo stance. Combo 36 hits on heavyweights, whereas 35 should work on the rest.
