Advanced Moves & Combos:

1. Shin Kikou Shou (X + A): This is a powerful projectile attack that can be chained. You'll see it pop up a lot in various combo strings, especially when performed near a wall. It's great for keeping enemies at bay or adding extra damage to a combo.
2. Tamashi Age (X + A): Often chained with Shin Kikou Shou, this move is excellent for launching enemies into the air, setting them up for follow-up aerial attacks. It's particularly effective when performed against a wall.
3. Embukyaku (X): A standard forward attack that can lead into other moves. It's a good opener or a way to reposition yourself slightly.
4. Kikou Shou (f + X): A forward-moving special attack. Useful for closing distance quickly or hitting enemies in front of you.
5. Uraken Uchi (X): This is another basic attack, often used in combos. It's a solid go-to when you need to keep pressure on.
6. Falling Kick (jump, Y): A downward aerial attack. Good for starting an air combo or hitting enemies below you.
7. Shin Hishousouzan (X (air) or jump, X): This is your primary air combo starter or extender. It's a diving attack that can lead into further aerial maneuvers or ground combos when the enemy is knocked down.
8. Jump Kick (forward jump, Y): Another aerial option, useful for initiating attacks from above.
9. Falling Chop (jump, d + Y): A more direct downward aerial attack, good for specific combo setups.
10. Hien Zan (f + X): A dashing attack that can cover ground quickly and hit enemies.
11. Tobi Kyaku (B, X): A jumping kick that can be used both on the ground and in the air, often chaining into other specials.
12. Rekkaken (f, f + Y): This is a powerful dashing attack that knocks enemies back. It's great for creating space or pushing enemies off ledges.
13. Dashing slash upper (f, f + Y): A variation of the dashing attack, good for different combo timings.
14. Heavy swing (f, f + Y): This refers to using certain weapons with a forward dash, often resulting in a powerful, sweeping attack.
15. Backhand (Y (hold)): Holding the Y button can lead into different follow-up attacks.
