=====FOREWORD=====
Huge thanks go to the 2B spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QE3jHhZO9QvgdTEwcp_OwgyOEGI52ldd9rRqvuGgtfw/edit#gid=1364336535) and 8WayRun for a whole host of information such as frame data, a lot of tech Jimbonator has detailed in youtube videos (especially regarding AGS and ringouts eg.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5WvxZJ1Lko), and the 2B Discord Channel for helping me along with both this and my comprehensive 2B combo list (https://pastebin.com/y61LZSNi). While this is largely for my own benefit to help me memorise her options, I hope this helps other fellow 2B players learn the character or discover something new.

=============NOTATION GUIDE==============
=========================================

Default button Layout (from player 1 perspective)

7  8  9           B
 \ | /            |
4-(5)-6       A--   --K
 / | \            |
1  2  3           G

eg. 6 is forward, 1 is down-back, 8 is up.
A - Horizontal Attack
B - Vertical Attack
K - Kick
G - Guard

[] - Button Hold (eg. B and [B] produce two different attacks)
_ - indicates when you can choose between two directions for an 8 way run move, eg. 22_88B means you can press 22 OR 88 before pressing B, though you will need to hold the second input for it to come out
AC - Aerial Control: when the opponent can hold a direction to influence where they fall. Almost all the combos listed are still possible because they account for or prevent AC.
CE - Critical Edge (performed with A+B+K using 1 bar of meter)
CH - Counter Hit (hit an opponent in the middle of attacking or moving)
FC - Full Crouch (press buttons while holding down to stay in crouch)
GB - Guard Break
LH - Lethal Hit (special stun states that need certain conditions met. Check the command list in-game)
oki - Okizeme: offensive play against a grounded opponent who needs to get up before being able to attack again.
RE - Reversal Edge (performed with B+G)
RO - Ring Out (sending your opponent off of the stage to win a round. Direction of trajectory listed in relevant combos.)
SA - Soul Attack (performed with 236 A+B+K with 1 bar of meter, puts you in Soul Charge)
SC - Soul Charge (usually refers to attacks only accessible while in Soul Charge)
SS - Side step. SSL and SSR mean side step left and side step right respectively.
WR - While rising (While getting up from a crouching state)
W! - Wall Hit (opponent enters a stun state when an attack pushes them into a wall, allows new combos)

=====2B SPECIFIC ABBREVIATIONS=====
AP - Analysis Points (Landing non-weapon attacks give AP, which slightly restore guard stamina, and unlocks lethal hits for 6BK, 4K, and AL AAK once 9 are stored. They are all spent once one of these lands, and guard stamina is fully restored.)
AGS - Aggression Shift (performable on its own with 236 or 214)
AL - Aerial Leap (performable on its own with 8B+K)
ANG - Angler Stance (performable on its own with B+K, which is also a dodge that actives between frames 4-14)

=====What attacks are safe against RE, and can I do more than block?=====
Presuming the opponent releases RE the moment the following are absorbed, 2B has some options after certain attacks. For the most part, the options she has are downgraded against characters with slightly faster RE attacks, being Nightmare, Raphael, Sophitia and Tira (Gloomy), who I've initialled as N, R, S and T respectively, and I've listed what should be done differently where applicable. The characters Astaroth, Azwel [unless in Sword/Almighty], Talim, Yoshimitsu and Zasalamel (initialled As, Az, Ta, Y and Z) on the other hand are slightly slower, but Counter Bomb cannot be used against Azwel or Zasalamel's charged REs. Also remember that Amy, Taki and Talim can do different actions out of RE. (credit to Guilu for most of this information regarding RE attack speed)

GUARD
>4B+K (loses to S and others who make 3rd hit whiff, RI vs. AsTaYZ if aligned enough)
>66K (loses to NRST, RI vs. Az)
>66B+K (loses to NRST, RI vs. AzZ)

RESIST IMPACT
>2A
>[A] (SSR vs. AzZ)
>3A (Guard vs. NRST, SSR vs Z)
>1A (Guard vs. NRST, SSR vs. Z)
>6BBB (Guard vs. NST, SSR vs. Z)
>2bA (SSR vs. Z, SS vs. Az)
>2K (SSR vs. TaZ, SS vs. Az)
>1K (Guard vs. NRST)
>9K (Guard vs. NRST)
>66aK (SSR vs. AsTaZ, SS vs. Az)
>22A (Guard vs. NRT, loses to S)
>22B+K (SS vs. Az)
>SC 3AK (Guard vs. NR, SSR vs. Z)
>SC 66BB (Guard vs. NT, TJ over Raphael with BT +frames, second hit can whiff S up close and allow her to retrack)
>SC AGS A (Guard vs. NRST, SSR vs. Z)

COUNTER BOMB (B+K)
>6AA (RI vs. NRSTZ, SSL vs. Y, SS vs. Az)
>6K/KK (RI vs. NRST, SSR vs. Z, SS vs. Az)
>3K/3[K]/WR K/ WR [K] (SSR vs. Ta, SS vs. AsAzYZ)
>6B+K (RI vs. NST, Guard vs. R, SSR vs. Z, SS vs. Az)
>44K/[K] (RI vs. NRSTZ, SSL vs. Y, SS vs, Az)

B+K fails: Azwel, Zasalamel
Opponent can RI: Amy, Siegfried, Tira-J, Xianghua, Yoshimitsu
Opponent can block: Talim, Tira-G, Voldo

SIDESTEP (USUALLY RIGHT)
>WR A
>2B (RI vs. NRST)
>b6
>AL A+B/[A+B] (B+K vs. T)
>SC AAAA (B+K vs. ST)
>SC AL B (SSR vs. S, loses to T and others who make 4th hit whiff)

=====What beats both GI and RE?=====
>A+B - 0 on block, LH combos vs GI or RE (use 4A+B ~ 4BBB up close, or 44[B]6 ~ AGS BA at range)

=====What do I use after I successfully GI?=====
>AA series - works after level 2, =AA Mixup=
>3B - works after level 3, see =AL Air Combos=
>4BBB - works after level 3, rings out
>6KK - works after level 2, gets 1AP
>4K - works after level 2, gets 2AP, =LH 4K Combos= with 9AP
>4[K] - works after level 2, rings out
>A+B - steppable, 0 on block, LH combos vs GI or RE, use 44[B]6 > AGS BA at all but tip range for 79 damage
>[A+B] - steppable, +4 on block, beats reGI/RE for LH combo, use 4[A+B] > 44[B]6 > AGS BA at close/mid range for 91 damage
>44[K] - works after level 3, beats step, gets 4AP, rings out
>66B+K - works after level 3, leads to her highest damage wall combos

=====What do I do after each successful RE clashes?=====
>RE A - just keep mashing A for damage + potential ringout on hit
>RE B - combos into 66B+K
>RE K - see =AL Air Combos= on hit, or =AL Advantage= if blocked
>LH RE A - Use the AB varation, combos into 4[A+B] > 4BBB. Use A6 > AGS [A+B] > BT B+K > =Air Combo finishers to switch sides or reverse ring out
>LH RE B - Hold the [B], so you can combo into 44B for 83 damage and =AGS Okizeme=
>LH RE K - combos into AL B+K > =AL Air Combos=

=====What do I hit grounded opponents with?=====
1A - catches rolls, slow low but good range, +2 on hit, -12 on block
3B - catches some rolls, =AL Disadvantage= on block, AL A+B guaranteed force block on hit, good setup for [A+B] but can be GI'd or RE'd
3[B] - can sometimes roll away from but gets =AL Advantage= on block, combos into AL B/K/CE on grounded hit or AL B+K > =AL Air Combos= on normal hit
2B - safe mid poke, catches some rolls
1B - low poke, =AGS Okizeme=
1K - low poke, gets 1AP
A+B - easy to side roll but 0 on block and good guard damage, can combo on into 8/9K at close/mid range or 44[B]6 > AGS A+B at mid/long ranges on normal hit
66K - safe mid poke, usually beats rolls, mix with Slide ~ 1B at range
66B+K - -12 on block, catches some rolls so can be a reliable GB option

=====What other oki do I get after landing CE?=====
9B - catches all rolls
66A series - unseeable low. Sometimes possible to land a perfectly spaced 66a[K] for a true combo into the LH if they hold G
44B - catches forward and back rolls
44[B] - =AGS Advantage= on block, combos into AGS BA on hit
236 - Pressures opponent with immediate AGS
Hanging back to hold a life lead or running up to the opponent for regular oki is also fine

=====What are my best guard damage attacks?=====
>aB - 9%, high vertical, -2 on block, GB
>[B] - 2+7%, -2 on block, can be ducked/GId on block, GB
>6BB - 12%, -20 or =AGS/AL Disadvantage= on block, 3rd B possible for safe on block 9% but can be interrupted with non-low i16
>3[B] - 12%, =AL Advantage= on block
>4BB - 9+11%, -16 but opponents almost always anticipate 3rd hit, both hits GB
>4[K] - 2+7%, -8 on block and spaces, can be GId
>A+B - 15%, 0 on block, linear i38, GB
>44B/[B] - 9/15%, huge range, GB
>22B+K - 13%, -4 on block, GB
>11B+K - 9%, +4 on block, GB
>AGS 2A - 9%, -12 on block but huge range, GB
>AGS [A+B] - 12%, -8 on block
>AL A+B - 11%, guaranteed after 3B ground hit, -8 and 4 chip damage on block
>AL [A+B] - 19%, guaranteed after 3[B] ground hit, -4 and 8 chip damage on block
>SC 66BB - 5+12%, both hits can GB
>SC AGS BB - 13%, =AL Advantage= on block (spaced), can GB

=====What are my best GB attacks?=====
>aB - 9%, 80% scaling, +32
>AAB - 1+2+10%, unscaled, +32, catches step, forces block if AA lands and GI possible if AA blocked
>[B] - 2+7%, 80% scaling, force block if 1st normal hits, +36
>4B - 9%, unscaled, +24 (4BB also breaks 9+11%: 100% damage, +18)
>4[K] - 2+7%, unscaled, +32, fast mid option, can be GI'd
>A+B - 15%, 70% scaling, +32
>3B+K - 15%, 80% scaling, +20
>66B+K - 10%, 80+% scaling, +32, catches some rolls
>22B+K - 13%, 60% scaling, +36
>11B+K - 9%, 80+% scaling, +32
>44B/[B] - 9/15%, 80+% scaling, +32 (use AGS KK or SC AGS BB combos)
>AGS 2A ~ 9%, 80% scaling, +20
>AGS [B]- 9%, 80+% scaling, +28
>SC 66BB - 5+12%, unscaled, +36, 66B also breaks guard however (80+% damage, +32)
>SC AGS BB - 13%, unscaled, hold 6 to combo into itself
>CE - 10%, unscaled, +28

=====What can I usually land after breaking an opponent's guard?=====
>6[B] ~ CE - i18, highest damage with meter if 3[B] is too slow
>3B - i20, =AL Air Combos=
>3[B] - i32, usually highest damage, combos into AL B+K > =AL Air Combos=
>4BBB - i24, rings out, possible from crouch, enhanced in SC
>6B+K - i24, choice of followups with =Air Combo Finishers=, rings out further than 4BBB, possible from crouch, wall combos possible
>FC B+K - i28, usually highest damage from crouch, see =FC B+K Combos=
>44[K] - i28, 4AP, rings out
>6CE - i36, highest damage with meter, also requires critical health
>LH 4K > 6CE - i16, highest damage with meter, 9AP and critical health

=====What are my usual ring out moves?=====
|Front|
>3B - follow up with AL AAB/AAK, =AL Disadvantage= on block
>4BBB - recommended as whiff punish, better range than 3B
>4[K] - fast and very effective option, though 2nd hit can be GI'd on block
>6B+K - only launches on CH or post GB but has good distance, some =Air Combo Finishers= also improve distance
>66B+K - recommended as a whiff punish due to being -12 on block
>22B+K - combos into 4BBB for long range ringouts

|Left|
>66A+B - -20 on block, but is a horizontal mid with excellent range and duration
>AL K - Ender for any combo that ends up with your opponent airborne and you in AL
>ANG A+B - -12 on block but sends opponent flying left
>SC AGS A - safest and fastest option out of AGS

|Right|
>AAAA - Catches opponents trying to interupt a transition into AGS after blocking the third hit
>44K - high that tracks, gets 2AP
>AGS 2A - slow mid horizontal, -12 on block

=====What wall combos do you recommend?=====
4K W! ~ 3[K] (4AP)
4K W! ~ 66B+K (2AP)

4B+K/66B+K W! ~ 6BB6 W! ~ AGS [B] ~ 8K (4AP)
4B+K/66B+K W! ~ 6[B] ~ BT B+K ~ =Air Combo Finishers=

44K W! (right) ~ 6KB W! ~ 1B (2AP)

22B+K ~ 44[K] W! ~ 66B+K (4AP)

ANG A+B W! (left) ~ 6B+K W! ~ 4BBB:6B ~ 1B
ANG A+B W! (left) ~ 6B+K W! ~ 6B+K ~ =Air Combo Finishers=

CH 6B+K W! ~ 6B+K W! ~ 6[B] ~ BT B+K ~ =Air Combo Finishers=

LH 4A W! (front/right) ~ 22_88K (SSR) ~ AAAA W! ~ 4BB:6B ~ 1B
LH 4A W! (front/right) ~ 22_88K (SSR) ~ AAAA W! ~ 6B+K ~ =Air Combo Finishers=

LH 4K ~ 22_88K (SSR) ~ AAAA W! ~ AAAA W! ~ 4BB:6B ~ 1B
LH 4K ~ 22_88K (SSR) ~ AAAA W! ~ AAAA W! ~ 6B+K ~ =Air Combo Finishers=

SC 66BB W! ~ SC 3AKK ~ SC AL B (also max damage off of high enough splats in SC)

SC CH BBBB W! ~ (delay) SC AL B ~ 44K W! ~ 3[K] (4AP)

CH AL K ~ SC BBBB W! ~ (delay) SC AL B ~ 44K W! ~ 3[K] (4AP)

=====What benefits do I get out of SC?=====
SC AAAA last hit gets an extra mid followup that's +4 on hit
SC 3AKK a series that ends in AL. =Al Disadvantage on block. Combo if 3rd hit lands, or if 2nd is CH. Use as a combo ender during =Post-Stun ANG K Combos= for ringouts.
SC BBBB is accessible, CH combo that can be followed up with AL B/K. Also useable during =Post-Stun ANG K Combos= for a wall splat combo
SC 4BBB gets extra damage and a stun state. Combo with 9K for 4AP, 44[B]6 > AGS A+B for max damage or B+K > ANG 4K > SC 3AKK for huge range ringouts.
SC 66BB is a 61 damage i16 punish available in SC that's safe on block and inflicts 17% guard damage
SC AGS BB Launches on low hit (usually SC AL AAA ~ SC 66BB), =AL Advantage= (with pushback) on block
SC AL AAA becomes accessible, enhancing damage potential of combos starts with 3B, 3[B], RE K or LE RE K. Followup with SC 66BB, should be guaranteed from all angles with a microstep
SC AL B becomes launcher that's 0 on block, =Air Combo Finishers= on hit, or 66B+K for max damage.

=========================================
=============STANCE NOTES================
=========================================

=====AA Mixup=====
AA on its own is a basic i12 two hit combo that nets 18 damage by itself that has so many options that I think it may as well be its own stance. It's strongest element is AAA as it can go into =AGS Major Advantage= on hit and =AGS Minor Advantage= block. This third hit forces a block if AA lands and can be ducked or GI'd if AA is blocked. AAB is an option for anticipating ducking but can also be GI'd and is -14 on block, so it's not recommended except as a guard break. AAAA (ROs/wallsplats right, duckable) and AAAB (same ender as AAB) beat attempts to RE or press buttons after AAA is blocked, but GI is possible. Both are force blocks if 3rd hit of AAA hits. Ending the string early is also an option to keep the opponent guessing.

=====AGS=====
A dashing stance that is uniquely tricky for opponents to deal with as it is nigh impossible to space out. It's a way of keeping in your opponent's face and pushing them across the stage after certain moves, or can be done from neutral with 236 to surprise unwary opponents from a distance. You can also enter the stance with a backsway by holding 4 instead of 6 for mindgames or dodging fast buttons (can also be input raw with 214), though this adds at least 21 frames to any action that follows. Much more dangerous in SC. Here are her options:
>AGS A - her fastest option (i14), catches step, can loop into itself holding 6. -12/AGS -4 on block, AGS +6 on hit. In SC, gets an extra hitbox that makes it -3/AGS +6 on block and combos into AGS A+B on hit
>AGS AA - optional followup to AGS A: -8 on block, -4 on hit. Lowest risk option but you always lose your turn using it.
>AGS 2A - slow (i28) but aGIs horizontal attacks like 2As from i8, -12 on block, ROs to her right on hit
>AGS [B] - slow infinite range launcher (i28), -12 on block, stuns on hit, tech jumps around i16. Usually combos into 9K up close or 44[B]6 ~ AGS A+B at range
>AGS BA - slow big damage low (i28), -24 on block, knocks down, has a hitbox behind her as well if first hit is stepped or rolled around. Hits grounded. and can deal with side rolls
>AGS BB - slow low (i28) that leaves her in AL, typically to combo into AL B. =AL Disadvantage= on block. Gets an extra hitbox in SC that guard breaks, =AL Advantage= on block and launches into combos: the usual followup is SC AL AAA ~ SC 66BB
>AGS K - -12/AGS 0 on block, -6/AGS +6 on hit. Guard
>AGS KK - Optional followup after AGS K, high launcher: delayable, duckable on block, second hit force block on normal hit, typically combos on CH into BT B+K ~ 44K
>AGS G - cancels stance early, use if expecting a GI or RE. React with a fast move like 6BB6 against a whiffed GI or a sidewalk for punishing REs (eg. 22B+K combos or LH 6BB)
>AGS A+B aka. the "shoryuken" option. 2B Becomes intangible on i10 and attack comes out about i22. -16 on block. Launches behind her on hit (usually into BT B+K, then into a move like 44K if both hits of that land). Hits grounded and can deal with side rolls
>AGS [A+B] - similar to AGS A+B with key differences: intangibility happens around i22, attack comes out about i34, -8 on block and does more damage. Relaunches opponent if it hits grounded, combos into things BT B+K ~ 44K works at range but only CE or SA on a close hit
>AGS B+K - steps back and launches projectile that inflicts 60 damage, good option after 214 transition, -30 on block but very difficult to punish at range, NEVER USE THIS IF OPPONENT IS NEAR GUARD BREAK, IT WILL WASTE IT
>AGS A+G - front throw (i18), does 70 damage. +8 on break
>AGS 4A+G - back throw (i18), does 40 on its own but combos into 44B (58) or CE (79). +8 on break

=AGS +16g= (6BB6 on normal hit)
AGS A and K are force blocks. Throws can only be GI'd. All slow options lose to RE but beat immediate GI.

=AGS +14= (22B8 on normal hit, 6K6 on counter hit)
Combos into AGS A or AA. AGS K can only be GI'd. Throws can be interrupted by SC but not RE'd. Slow options beat immediate GI.

=AGS +12= (AAA6 or 66B6 on normal hit)
A can only be GI'd. K can be interrupted by SC but not RE'd. AGS [A+B] cannot be interrupted by attacks that are i10 or slower.

=AGS +6= (AAA6 on block, 6K6/AGS A6/AGS K6 on normal hit, 1B on counter hit)
K can only be stepped or trade with i10s. Throws beat immediate GI but lose to i12s and RE

=AGS +2= (66B6 on block, 1B6 on normal hit)
A clashes with generic 2As and will duck under high i10s, AGS A+B cannot be interrupted by attacks that are i8 or slower.

=AGS 0= (AGS K6 on block, 66A6 on hit)
A loses to generic 2As, clashes with generic Bs and ducks under high i10s. AGS A+B cannot be interrupted by attacks that are i10 or slower.

=AGS -2= (6BB6 on block)
i10 mids are a guaranteed block punish. A only beats highs, AGS 2A only beats horizontals like generic 2As, AGS A+B beats i12s but loses to i10s

=AGS -4= (AGS A6 on block)
i12 vertical attacks are a guaranteed block punish, only AGS 2A can beat generic 2As

=AGS -6= (AGS 6K6 on block)
i12 horizontals and i14 verticals are guaranteed block punishes

=AGS -8= (2286/44B6 on block)
i14 horizontals and i16 verticals are guaranteed block punishes

=====AL=====
A super tech jump that either flies over many attacks or chases an opponent into the air for more damage, usually with AL AAB/AAK or AL B. This can be input raw with 8B+K, and can also be entered while holding 8 at any time where you can hold 6 or 4 to enter AGS to throw off your opponent. When not launching her opponent, however, she will generally be in either of these states with the following options:

=AL Advantage= (3[B]/RE K/SC AGS BB on block)
>AL B is her fastest option (i16) and startup frames move her higher into the air, making her more difficult to anti-air. Stilly risky as it is steppable, -16 on block and loses to RE and GI. Has an extra hitbox in SC that retracks, launches on hit, 0 on block and is RE safe, so a much more desirable option then.
>AL K is as fast as AL B (i16) gets small followups like 3[K] on CH and catches step, but whiffs ducking opponents and loses to RE and GI. -8 on block and hits high so can be ducked.
>AL A+B does 11% guard damage while being -8 on block, does 4 chip damage, has a wide area of effect and you can sidestep right vs. the entire cast on RE. It's easier to interrupt than B or K and can be GI'd for guaranteed damage at i20 as it is a projectile.
>AL [A+B] does even more damage (including 19% guard damage) and 8 chip while being -4 on block, but comes out much slower than AL A+B. Use vs. opponents trying to GI AL A+B or after a grounded 3[B] hit for a guaranteed force block. LH also possible if her guard stamina is full.
>AL B+K flies around in the air for a bit, though all AL K and A+B can still land while facing the other way. Usually used as a followup for 3[B] and LH RE K. Impractical in neutral, but has lead to hype moments like this: https://ytcropper.com/cropped/Ni5de70f2f672b8
>AL [7]/[8]/[9] - allows 2B to gently float back down to the ground. Can be used to delay followups.
>CE - tied for fastest option (i16) and recovers guard stamina, though only recommended for extra damage in combos or whiff punishing. -16 on block.

=AL Disadvantage= (3B/ WR BK/AGS BB/SC 3AKK/SC BBBB on block, all other transitions on block or hit)
Much the same applies as =AL Advantage= but some characters will have guaranteed punishes against all options while you're airborne (eg. Raphael 214B & Tira B8). Against characters who don't have guaranteed punishes that can reach AL B, the move can still be blocked or stepped into a major punish, and any other anti-air that is i18 or faster will always beat all other options if input fast enough.

=====ANG=====
There is almost little to no risk going into ANG from a distance where ANG 6K is possible unless fighting someone like Ivy or Raphael and Yoshimitsu with 1 meter. Fish (lol) for a CH with ANG [B] > ANG 4K/K/6K into =Post-Stun ANG K Combos=, or just go straight into ANG 4K/K/6K into the following:
>6KK - gets 1AP
>4K - slightly less damage and 2AP, or =LH 4K combos= with 9AP
>CE - high damage if you have 1 meter

If your opponent is grounded after landing 1K or 66K, you have a few slightly gimmicky but useable options.
>K/4K - see above combos
>ANG A+B catches attempts to counterattack or step after getting up and ROs/wallsplats left.
>236 to surprise the opponent an opponent waiting for the above two options with AGS

ANG 4K/K/6K has the added benefit of recovering a small amount of either health, meter or guard stamina at random. Don't be too reckless with this move, though, as it's very laggy on whiff and -20 on block.

B+K/2B+K is also a dodge that activates between frames 4-14, making it a strong alternative to GI, with the following differences:
>B+K dodges high and mid weapon attacks. 2B+K dodges mid and low weapon attacks, and can't be executed immediately from a crouching position. Neither can dodge body or kick attacks.
>As it is a dodge, this will succeed against break attacks where GI would fail.
>After the dodge animation she goes into a mid break attack with a built in GI. This can be cancelled with G, which also allows her to dodge consecutive attacks of any height, including kicks, but not rapid consecutive BAs like Azwel's charged RE. If two or more attacks in a row are dodged, the counter attack deals more damage and is unblockable.
>If 2B achieves 3 successful dodges, she gets access to LH 66B+K, which stuns the opponent instead of knocking them back. I recommend the following combos:
 >6BB6 > AGS KK > 1K - highest damage, gains 1AP
 >6KB - rings out and gets more damage than the above combo if it wall splats.
 >SC 3AKK - further ring out potential in SC
The ideal frame disadvantage to execute this would be -8 to dodge moves between i12-i22. It's also strongly recommended against slow unblockables or break attacks such as generic A+Bs.
If the opponent waits for this and she simply goes into ANG she can be punished for free if the opponent is fast enough. For opponents who are slow to react, you can try catching them out with attacks from her stance or just cancel with G.

==============COMBO NOTES================
=========================================

=====Air Combo Finishers=====
>2bA - requires slight delay after CH 6B+K, rings out to 2B's right
>3B+K - highest meterless damage, rings out to 2B's front
>66B - small damage but allows =AGS Okizeme=. SC 66BB also possible for highest damage followup.
>44K - gets 2AP, rings out to 2B's front
>66A+B - requires a slight delay after CH 6B+K, rings out to 2B's left
>SA - offensive transition to SC. Hold 4 for =AGS Okizeme= or 8 for a forced block of SC AL B (can guard crush but only 40+% damage)
>CE - use if you need a few more pixels of damage to close out a round, becomes increasingly inefficient the longer the combo is

=====High Air Combo Finishers=====
>4BBB - Max damage, front ring out
>4A+B > =Air Combo Finishers=
>44[K] - small damage but 4AP, front ring out
>SC 4BBB > 9K - requires SC, gets 4AP
>SC 4BBB > B+K > ANG 4K > SC 3AKK - requires SC, huge ringout distance

=====FC B+K Combos=====
> 66B+K (guaranteed)
> SA - offensive transition to SC. Hold 4 for =AGS Okizeme= or 8 for a forced block of SC AL B (0 on block and can guard crush but only 40+% damage, hits roll, launches crouch guard into =Air Combo Finishers=)
> CE (needs 1 meter)
> 6BK - works on close hit for 2AP, extra followup of 3[B] > AL B with 9AP
> AAA6 > AGS KK > 1K - needs a close hit, inconsistent and opponent can sometimes AC back-left but otherwise highest meterless damage

=====AL Air Combos=====
>AL AAB - use for max meterless damage and if you don't want to spend 9AP with AL AAK
>AL AAK - lightly less damage than AL AAB, gets 2AP, =LH AL AAK Combos= with 9AP
>AL AA (delay) CE - use if you need a few more pixels of damage to close out a round, becomes increasingly inefficient the longer the combo is
>AL K - Rings out to 2B's left
>SC AL AAA - Highest damage option in SC, has its own followups:
 >66B - Usually works but sometimes whiffs depending on what launched opponent and from what angle, allows =AGS Okizeme=
 >66BB - Highest damage meterless followup
 >CE - Guaranteed and max damage, becomes increasingly inefficient the longer the combo is

=====Post-Stun ANG K Combos=====
Applies to ANG 4K/K/6K after stunning the opponent with a move like AGS [B]
>3AA, 1A  - highest meterless damage
>3AA, 3B - AL A+B is inescapable and must be blocked for 10% guard stamina, good setup for [A+B] but can be GI'd or RE'd
>6KB - 2nd highest damage can rings out in front of 2B
>6K[K] > 1B - gets 2AP, 1B will miss back tech against some characters
>6K6, AGS A  - =AGS Minor Advantage=
>SA - see =AGS Advantage= with added benefit of SC AGS BB
>CE - use if you need a few more pixels of damage to close out a round, becomes increasingly inefficient the longer the combo is
>SC 3AAK - huge ringout carry, only possible in SC

=====LH 4K Combos=====
(Also applies to LH 6BK)
>3[B] > AL B+K > AL K - Can ring out behind if back is to edge
>6B+K > 6[B] or =Air Combo Finishers=
>22K (right step) > AAAA - furthest front ringout option without meter
>SC 4BBB > B+K > ANG 4K > =Post-Stun ANG K Combos=

=====LH AL AAK Combos=====
>B+K > ANG 4K > =Post-Stun ANG K Combos= (I recommend 6KB for ringouts and SC 3AKK for further ringouts while in SC)
>44[B]6 > AGS A+B - max damage

=====Tech Traps=====
Starters:
3AA (as combo ender/tech trap)
4BB:6B (close range)
6K[K] (opponent near wall edge)
9K
44A
66A+B (close range)

Followups:
66B+K - hits grounded, catches front/back tech, occasionally catches right tech
66A+B - catches all tech, whiffs grounded, needs tiny delay after 4BB:6B, 6K[K] (opponent near wall edge) and D rank W!, input from sidestep after 3AA (as combo ender/tech trap) and 66A+B (yes it can tech trap into itself)

AGS 2A W! (right) and A+G W! into 3AA (tech trap only) can end in 1B, 1K, 66A+B (tech only) or 66B+K (grounded or forward/back tech).
