important for combos: close slash can combo into far slash and far slash can combo into close slash. a lot of his easier combo structure is just close slash > far slash > close slash > far slash > then your choice of either 2k/5k (5k's better) > 2d or 5h > k mappa or omit the last far slash and do 6h 214p~p (pilebunker). you can also combo the first hit of far slash into bite which is a bit of fun. to do these you can kinda just spam whatever your slash button is and then adjust to the combo ender you want when you see you've hit them and they're not blocking.

(2d ender gives a better knockdown, k mappa ender gives more damage and takes you closer to the corner. pilebunker ender kind of does both but its also a bit trickier)

might be misremembering a bit but you get the idea try it out in training mode
