---------
6 is forward, 2 is down, 3 is down-forward, etc.
DGF = Dragonfly Stance (helicopter)
FLE = Flea Stance (standing on sword)
MED = Meditation Stance (sitting down)
~ = stance transition occurs
(B) = hold B
A+B = press A and B at the same time
aB = press the A and B right next to each other in time
CE = Critical Edge. Press the button for it or A+B+K.
BE = "Brave Edge." Yoshimitsu specific mechanic that uses half a meter gauge. Press A+B+K or the CE button right after the previous input to make some moves into Brave Edges.
CH = Counter Hit, hit the opponent out of attacks or some movements to get bonus damage and turn some strings into true combos.
LH = Lethal Hit. On certain conditions, moves will cause big stuns, allowing for a combo.
SC = while in Soul Charge mode
RCC - Recover Crouch Cancel, done by tapping back, up or forward to dash out of the crouch state so you can more quickly do standing moves after doing a move that recovers in the crouch state
oki - short for Okizeme, the situation where your opponent is on the ground
W! - wallsplat occurs here
WR - while rising (from crouch or ground)

COMBOS:
3(B) ~DGF A - 53 -- for ringout/wallsplat and maintaining stage orientation
3(B) ~DGF A+B:K - 57 -- max meter gain, about 1/3 total. Press K when you land.
3B 4AAAA - 48 -- close range hit only, also doesn't require commitment to the stance transition. good for mixing up with throw up close.
The following combos are inconsistent on side hit on all characters, does not work on small characters like Taki and Sophie so far.
3B 3(B) ~DGF - not close range hit or if you want to do a DGF setup. Good to mixup with 3BB when in Soul Charge, as nobody wants to stand into SC DGF B. Good oki for the stance mixup against right tech.
3B 3B - 53 -- good oki against right tech, without the stance.
3B 3BB - high damage, but last hit can be teched to the right
22B 6K - 39
22B 3(B) - 37 - delay the 3(B) so that you hit them on the ground for a DGF mixup
22B 4AA+B (press 8 for the first half of the spin, 2 for the second half for consistent turnaround) 44B+K 3BB (very slight delay between 3 and B) - 80-84
22B 6KA+B -- 58 - for ring out
The following combos only work on Raph, Voldo, Maxi, Zas, Aswel, Asta, Groh, Ivy

22B 8K 6KA+B - 60 -- ringout, maintain stage orientation
22B 8K 4AA+B (press and hold 2 in the second half of the spin to turnaround) 44B+K 3BB - nerfed from 80 to 66
*9K can work and does 2 more damage but is more inconsistent
FC 3K RCC 3B/3(B)/3BB - 57 -- for oki (3BB followup grants 66 damage, can be teched right)
FC 3K 6A+B ~FLE 66 - -- meter gain, bad oki
CH 2aB RCC b:A - 56 -- Tap forward after 2aB and then time b:A in a tight window. Doesn't reach on tip hit CH 2aB.

44K 9K 4AA+B (press 8 for the first half of the spin, 2 for the second half for consistent turnaround) 44B+K 3BB -- 102-110
44K 4AA+B (press 2 in the second half of the spin to turnaround) 44B+K 3BB -- 102-110 nerfed to 80 - without the 9K, significantly easier combo, same damage, just slightly more meter
44K 9K 6A+B ~FLE 66 - 67 -- for meter gain
44K 66B+KA+B - 55 -- ring out at long distance but done up close can ring you out, can also wallsplat sometimes
44K 2B+K ~MED K ~DGF A - Air controllable but is the ringout combo you want at certain distances where 66B+KA+B will ring yourself out first.
44K WR AA+B ~DGF A - 78 -- Long ring out / wall carry. Does more damage and carries further than 44K 66B+KA+B. Eats meter, of course. --- HajimeOwari

LH 4A+B activates when you whiff punish a Reversal Edge.
LH 4A+B 9K 4AA+B (hold 6 then press 2 near the end to turn around) 44B+K 3BB - 136 -- 9K only connects at a particular spacing and there's no time to reposition. This spacing happens to occur when you step after an RE-safe move has been absorbed. Possibly character specific, worked on Yoshimitsu.

LH RE A ~DGF G 66A 6BBA+B b:A -- half bar for a further ring out
LH RE A ~DGF G 66A 6BBA+B iWR AA+B ~DGF A -- full bar for possibly the longest ring out range in the game, counting the pushback that occurs during the RE phases
LH RE B 2(B) - 87 total. tech forward SC escapes.

LH RE K - 56
MED K 2B+KK - 49
DGF B 3BB - 52
FLE B 4AA+B (5, 2) 44B+K 3BB - 96 -- Character specific. So far we've found it to work on Groh, Ivy (can do 9K before 4AA+B), Zas, (need testing)
FLE (B) 3BB - 62
FLE (B) 2aB RCC b:A - 78
8A+B2 3BB - 58
Post in this thread if you find more or better stuff.
Last hit of 4AA+B combos, the second hit of 3BB, seems to be character specific on whether they can tech right or not.
During 4AA+B juggles, you can dash iWR AA+B ~DGF A for long range reverse ring outs
***For easier 4AA+B 44B+K combos, input the 44B+K as 64B+K. The "6" is read as a 4 from the previous character positions and the second 4 is read as normal. This makes it so you only have to time the 4, or so you can buffer it, it's hard to tell. But it's easier.

SC DGF KA 8B+K ~DGF AB 3BB - 88

WALL:
Standard starters: 9K, 66K, 44B+K, DGF A, AAA+B, CH WR B, WR K, 3B, 6K W! or aligned 3AB W!
-> (step so that you're more aligned) 2aB WR B W! 44bA
9K (time so that it hits right when the last tick of damage, close to when they stop tailspinning, occurs) 3BB (time so that you hit them right as they hit the ground) Just do B+K ~FLE K ~IND A, same damage and you can't mess up the timing - 92-133 depending on starter -- after 44bA, 44B+K 3B ender does more damage but is inconsistent. To step into position, 8 or 888 into 2aB works for 2 stepping into it you need some input tricks. 2~aB, a delay between 2 and aB will give a small step into 2aB via this game's buffer system. 2, 632 aB is needed for larger steps into 2aB.
-> (step so that the wall is more aligned (you have less time for this one)) 6A+B ~FLE (B) 2aB WR B W! 44bA B+K ~FLE K ~IND A - 127-150 depending on starter -- tough setup but it's worth it. You have a little bit of time to step into position, so that you won't get misaligned mid-combo have 2aB push them too far away. You need to
delay the 6A+B~FLE (B) as long as possible or else it will wallsplat, earlier in the combo than ideal. You'll still get a decent combo with a 2aB WR B ender but you won't get as high damage as you could.
-> after 44bA you can also do 2(B) middle charge for 40 unscaled damage on the top if they can't or don't forward tech and soul charge. with this, 66K wallsplat gives 175-180 damage meterless!!

(Standard starter) W! 6A+B(B) 2aB WR B W! 44bA B+K ~FLE K ~IND A - 130-134 with 66K starter - "standard" which is really unstable and character specific in the ways that 44bA can either whiff or drop the last hit. Issues observed against Ivy, 2B, Voldo, Nightmare, Cervantes, Taki.
(Standard starter) W! 6A+B(B) 2aB 66K W! 66A 3AA - 122 with 66K starter (replace last hit with BBB or 3AB 2K for different positions), consistent against everyone observed so far except Ivy
W! 6A+B FLE (B) 2aB WR B W! 6AB 3BB - 130 with 66K starter
W! 6A+B FLE (B) 2aB 66K W! 66A 3AA - 122 with 66K starter -- use this combo instead post-patch
W! (step to align) 2aB WR B W! 6A+B FLE (B) 3B - 99 with 66K starter
W! 2aB 66K W! 6A+B(B) 3BB - 100-103 with 66K starter -- use this combo instead post-patch, consistent on everyone at all angles
66K W! 66A+B 2aB 66K W! 44bA B+K ~FLE K ~IND A - 134-138 -- combo possible when the opponent is NOT right up against the wall before getting hit by 66K. The extra time between the 66K hit and the wallsplat gives time for 66A+B to connect. Also requires good wall alignment.
3AB W! (wall to left) 2aB WR B W! 6A+B FLE (B) 3BB - ?
CH 2aB WR B W! 2G WR B W! 44bA 9K 3B - up to around 112 -- after 44bA, 44B+K 3B ender does more damage but can be inconsistent.
CH 2aB WR B W! 2G WR B W! 44bA B+K ~FLE K ~IND A - 82-84
CH 2aB 66K W! 66_33_99A 3AB W! WR B 9K 3B - ? -- for when you're not perpendicularly aligned
CH 2aB WR B W! 66A 3AB W! WR B 9K 3B - 77-79
A+K W! 2aB WR B W! 44bA 44B+K 3BB - 52 -- from Flash wall setup. 4AAA hit, 66K blocked, AA hit are good setups.
Short wall ringout combos (Be sure to mash out 4B+KBBBB if you have the health in order to gain meter in the time between your last hit and the ring out.):
Wallsplats that give you some time such as 66K, 8K etc., W!
-> wall to your left or head on -> 2aB WR B 6K -> ring out
-> wall to your right or head on -> 3B -> ring out
Wallsplats that don't give time for a 3B:
-> wall to your left -> 2aB WR B 6K -> ring out
-> wall head on -> 2aB 66K W! 3B -> ring out
-> wall to your right -> 2aB into some non-ringout combo
Close to short wall combos
(launch) 6KA+B - for ringout through breakable walls
(launch other than 3B or FLE B) A+K into 3B or microstep 2aB 66K 6A+B ~FLE B - Breakable short wall ringout. 3B sends them a bit to the right, so you may need to do the alternate combo. Or, just spend the meter with 2aB WR AA+B just to be sure.
(launch other than 3B or FLE B) A+K into 3B or 3AB or 66K - meterless unbreakable short wall ringout. 3B sends them a bit to the right, so you might need to use 3AB, or, you might have to use 3B.
44K 66B+K A+K also works and carries further than using the b:A ender. However, I've had some inconsistency issues, so more labbing is required.
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1083488653190533121
There's a stage with a wall that breaks after three wallsplats. Guarantee a ringout when the wall turns red by wallsplatting and ending with a 66A 3AB (or 66A 2aB 66K for more distance if not aligned). Or just 3(B) DGF A might work.
WR AA+B W! DGF KA 8B+K ~DGF A W! 2aB WR AA+B ~DGF BBBBB
