Combos
These are just some of Splinter's basic combos. Unlike some characters, splinter's combo game isn't really exceptional as he's more based on spacing aerials and chipping damage. His aerial game, specifically a late aerial, can lead well into many of these. "Aerial" indicates a standard aerial with no input. If there's any combos I've missed, and/or don't know, let me know and I'll gladly add it.

Some notes on Splinter's counterhit properties:
B = 108 damage and massive knockback on counterhit
6B = 120 damage and stun on counterhit

Some notes on Splinter combos:
- AAA > 7A (upback tilt) is the best option from the jab combo. 71 damage and a free tech chase (they can't recover until they hit the ground).
- 8A (vs ground opponents), 7B, and 8B Smash all cause the opponent to stagger if they get hit. If they don't recover, you can hit them with a guaranteed 6B for 100 extra damage. This goes for anytime the opponent falls on the ground and doesn't tech.
- Up Throw > B doesn't work vs April and Karai. You can use Up Throw > AA against them instead.
- You can combo off of Splinter's Wall Throw due to the vulnerable frames that characters have at the start of the getup options. 7A (very hard to time) and 6B being the best options to use after the wall throw.
