Special Techniques

This is where Bruce really shines. His string of punches and kicks can lead to some serious damage. The Bruce Rush (1,2,1,2) is a great starting point, leading into kicks like Midkick or Frontkick. You can also chain into Sweepkick or Highkick with d+4>3. Southern Cross and Elbow Rush are also solid options. For some quick pokes and pressure, Kidney Buster and its follow-ups are great. Watch out for moves that cause Bounds or Stuns, as they open up huge combo opportunities!
