The stuff below is meant to be a companion to the video, so if you're not sure about timing etc, watch the video!
For each combo/reset, characters it works on are listed below it. For branching setups, assume the same characters work on them unless another character list is shown.
Italics means the tech is unreliable against that character or requires much stricter timing. Underline means it doesn't work on that character.
Notation stuff:
Unless otherwise stated....
Combos and resets work at midscreen and corner
Jumps are always forward
Launchers are always jump cancelled
Fiber upper is always cancelled
PS Parasoul / PC Peacock / MF Ms Fortune / FI Filia / DB Double / PW Painwheel / SQ Squigly / VL Valentine / CB Cerebella / BB Big Band / EL Eliza
x > y = cancel x into y,
ad = airdash, adc = airdash cancel,
dj = double jump, hj = high jump,
(stuff) = optional stuff,
x/y = use x or y,
ground/air chain = chain any normals besides HK,
full ground/air chain = chain all normals besides HK,
j.MK(1) > ... = 1 hit of j.MK then cancel,
Rekka = qcf+P,
High Rekka = qcb+K,
CSF = Cat Scratch Fever
Combo pieces
1.1) Sandwich Loop
ground chain, s.MK HP, repeat
All Chars
Notes: Bad damage but has the best reset opportunities.
1.2) Rekka Loop
Ground chain > M Rekka, hold H during attack, release f/neutral.HP, repeat
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Use HP when the head is far, f.HP otherwise.
1.3) Gato Loop
ground chain, s.HK/Fiber, air chain > L/M Gato, f.HP, repeat
All Chars
Notes: Different timing for each character, and depending on head spacing. Use when the head is close behind the opponent.
1.4) j.HK Variant
ground chain, s.HK/Fiber, air chain j.HK f.HP, repeat
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Easy timing, better corner carry, but uses 10 more undizzy than Gato loop. Use when the head is far behind the opponent.
1.5a) Meterless side switch close 1
s.HK > L Fiber, j.MP adc j.HK, HP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Head should start at least one character width behind you. Doesn't work well near corners. Works after nom.
1.5b) Meterless side switch close 2
s.HK > L Fiber, j.MP > L Gato, HP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: If head isn't right behind you, delay HP (uses OTG). Always OTGs Bella.
1.5c) Meterless side switch close 3
s.HK > L Fiber, dj back j.LK adc j.LK/MP HK, HP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
1.5d) Meterless side switch I hate double ver
s.HK > L Fiber, j.LK adc j.MP s.LP
1.6a)Feral edge side switch 1
s.HK, j.MK, f.HP/HP, M Gato > Feral Edge, HP
All chars
Notes: Use HP if the head started close to you
1.6b) Feral edge side switch 2
s.HK > L Fiber, j.MP, f.HP/HP, M Gato > Feral Edge, HP
All chars
Notes: Far confirm only. Basically for when you tried to meterless side switch too far.
1.8a) After nom 1
s.MP s.MK s.HK, sideswitch combo
See sideswitch combos
1.8b) After nom 2
run through s.MK s.HK, j.MK > L Gato, HP
All Chars
Notes: OTGs on CB
1.9a) After zoom>nom 1
run through, full ground chain, s.HK, j.MK HK, f.HP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
1.9b) After zoom>nom 2
run through, full ground chain, s.HK, j.MP > L Gato, HP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
1.9c) After zoom> nom 3
j.HK > M Gato, s.MK s.HK, sideswitch combo
See sideswitch combos
1.9d) After zoom>nom 4
iad j.LK MK > M Gato, s.HK, sideswitch combo
See sideswitch combos
Starters
2.1a) j.LK MP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
2.1b) j.LK > L Gato
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Higher damage but doesn't combo off max range j.LK, and is only 1 high hit.
2.2) Use head in first chain
ground chain, f.HP/HP, s.HK
All Chars
Notes: Gets the head in a better position for combos
2.3a)Meterless side switch far 1
s.HK > L Fiber, (j.LP/MK) > L Gato, dash s.LPx2 s.HK (Side switch combo 1 or 3)
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Need to start near midscreen or further. j.MK won't work on lighter chars.
2.3b)Meterless side switch far 2
Ground chain > Cat Slide, dash s.LPx2 s.HK (Side switch combo 1 or 3)
FI CB PC PS MF PW VLDBSQ BB EL
Notes: More difficult the farther you confirm from.
2.3c)Meterless side switch far 3
s.HK > L Fiber, j.LP MP adc j.HK, HP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
2.4a)Ground Throw w/ (Zoom) Nom
Throw, (f.HP >) Nom, jump, j.HK > M Gato, (s.MK) HK, sideswitch combo
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: If f.HP is used, s.MK needs to be added to wait out the head's cooldown.
2.4b)Ground Throw w/ Rekka
Throw, (f.HP) > M Rekka, HP/f.HP
All Chars
Notes: Use f.HP unless the head is offscreen. First f.HP is if you threw them away from the head.
2.4c)Ground Throw w/ Cat Scratch Fever
Throw > Cat Scratch Fever, HP/Nom
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: If you screwed up and threw them away from the head. Throw > CSF otg's on Filia & Squigly, so you have to catch them falling with HP; for all others you can use nom as well.
2.5a)Airthrow w/ Nom
Airthrow, Nom, (any nom followup)
See nom followups
2.5b)Airthrow w/ HP
Airthrow, HP/f.HP, Any ground move
All Chars
Notes: Easy transition to sandwich loop.
2.5c)Airthrow w/ j.LK
Airthrow, j.LK, s.LP
FI CB PC PS PW MF VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Only off min. airdash height or lower for PS. Any height vs PC, PW, BB. Normal jump height or lower for all others.
2.5d)Airthrow w/ feral edge
Airthrow, HP, >Feral Edge
All chars
Notes: Use if head is far behind you
2.6) No-head No-OTG
ground chain, s.HK, j.LP MP adc j.MP HK, s.LP
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes:Sometimes you gotta do a combo without the head. Works on everyone in the corner!
Get me a sandwich
Rule of thumb: s.LPx2 s.MK after f.HP. After HP, you can also do s.MP s.MK.
Head far – j.HK loop
Head far – Rekka loop
Head close – Rekka loop
Notes: Only works if the head is close enough after f.HP!
Head close – Gato loop
Head close behind – ground chain f.HP
Head behind – side switch
3.3a) Gato ad j.LK
ground chain, s.HK, j.MK > L/M Gato, HP, ad j.LK s.LP/c.LK/s.MP s.MK
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BBEL
Notes: Works at various head distances behind opponent.
3.3b) Gato ad j.MP
ground chain, s.HK, j.MK > L/M Gato, HP, ad j.MP s.LPx2/s.MP s.MK
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BBEL
Notes: s.LPx2 is easier to restand with, but you can start a sandwich off a low juggle anyway. Doesn't waste your j.LK!
Switching Modes
4.1)Transition to head-on
Ground chain, f.HP, >Cat Call, c.LK
All Chars
Notes: If head is in corner, use b.HP instead (doesn't work on SQ, EL). But don't do that; head-off has better corner resets.
4.2a)Launch, Cat spike
c.HP, Cat Spike, H Gato, HP, s.LK s.MK
All chars
Notes: You can do a lot of stuff after Cat Spike at this height, but this does good damage and makes you a sandwich.
4.2b)j.HK > Cat Spike 1
Ground chain > L Fiber, wait j.HP adc j.HK > Cat Spike
All Chars
Notes: Wait is optional vs PS DB BB EL. adc is optional vs DB BB (just chain j.HP HK). It's up to you if you want to use the same timing on everyone, or use optional easier timing on these characters.
4.2c)j.HK > Cat Spike 2
Ground chain, c.HK(1) > L Fiber, j.HP HK > Cat Spike
FI CB PC PS PW MF VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Worse damage but easier timing. Not recommended unless you're lazy.
4.2d)Feral Edge
Feral Edge > Sneeze, hj j.LK MP MK > L Gato, HP, ad j.LP s.LP
FI CB PC PS PW MF VL DB SQ BBEL
Notes: If you started combo on feral edge, you can substitute j.LP with j.LK. There are better Feral Edge > Sneeze combos out there, but this one is usable on most of the cast and gives great head positioning.
4.2e)CSF > Cat Strike
All chars
Notes: Only do thisif you're trying to kill. It leaves you at +1 instead of sliding knockdown. Punishable if you used OTG.
Fuzzy Setups
5.1a) iad j.LK MP, rejump j.LK
All chars
5.1b) iad j.HK, rejump j.LK
All chars
5.1c) s.LP, j.LK
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BBEL
Notes: Only works if they stand blocked your jab. Doesn't put you in a bad position if j.LK whiffs, though.
Unless you want to hit vs standing, you don't have to fuzzy BB/EL; you can instant overhead them with j.LK
Fuzzy Starters
5.2a)Double j.LK
j.LK adc j.LK > M Gato
All chars
5.2b)Tall chars
neutral jump j.LK HK adc j.HK > M/H Gato
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: H Gato is stronger, but followup hits can whiff if not timed well. Against Fortune, delay j.LK and omit Gato.
5.2c)Tall chars corner
neutral jump j.LK HK > M/H Gato
FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: You can do this midscreen with a forward jump, but you can't be point blank with rising j.LK.
5.2d)Fuzzy with head
neutral jump j.LK, HP, j.HK > M/H Gato
All chars
Notes: Strongest fuzzy starter (doesn't advance IPS stage)
5.2e)Fuzzy + Crossup
j.LK j.LP > L Gato, s.LP/c.LK
Notes: Eliza only. Must be as close as possible after fuzzy setup. j.LK j.LP will combo on hit, but on block leaves a gap allowing j.LP to crossup.
Full combo
6.1a) Mostly Optimized corner
(j.HK HP) ground chain, HP, s.HK > L Fiber, j.MP > M Gato, f.HP, H Fiber j.MK > M Gato, f.HP, s.MK > M Rekka, HP, s.LPx2 s.LK s.MP s.MK c.HK > M Rekka, Cat Scratch Fever
All Chars
Notes: Use L Gato on Peacock. Don't sweep if the last chain juggles.
6.1b) Two Super ver
(after j.MK Gato) f.HP > Sneeze, Cat Scratch Fever, Nom, iad j.LK> M Gato, Full ground chain > M Rekka > Cat Scratch Fever
All Chars
Double and Eliza combos
6.2a) No head
ground chain, c.HK(1) > L Fiber, j.HK > H Gato, rejump j.LK HK > H Gato, rejump j.LP LK HK > H Gato, s.MK > Cat Slide, full ground chain, (c.HK(1)) > M Rekka > Cat Scratch Fever
Notes: Midscreen only. c.HK(1)>M Rekka for Double only. For Eliza, replace last H Gato with M Gato.
6.2b)No head near corner
ground chain, c.HK(1) > L Fiber, j.HK > H Gato, neutral/forward rejump j.LK HK > H Gato, neutral rejump j.LP LK HK > M Gato, s.MK > M Rekka, full ground chain, (c.HK(1)) > M Rekka > Cat Scratch Fever
Notes: Midscreen only; do this when you carry into the corner.
6.2c)Two supers
(After above rejump loop) M Rekka > Cat Scratch Fever, Nom, full ground chain, (c.HK(1)) > M Rekka > Cat Scratch Fever
6.2d)Fuzzy guard
[j.LK HK > H Gato] x 3, j.LP LK HK > H Gato, H Fiber, j.MP MK > M Gato, full ground chain, (c.HK(1)) > M Rekka > CSF
Notes: For Eliza, do j.LP (delay) LK HK > M Gato instead.
6.2e)Fuzzy guard two supers
(After above rejump loop) M Rekka > CSF, Nom, j.MP > M Gato, full ground chain, (c.HK(1)) > M Rekka > CSF

FI CB PC PS MF PW VL DB SQ BB EL
Notes: Crossups are midscreen only
-[j.LP LK or j.LK MP] adc j.MP – use on light chars. These setups make the opponent recover just above the ground, so they can't mash j.LP, and ground reversals are less likely to work. (as long as they aren't listed in italics)
