be creative, cancel a combo with baroque (the less red life you have, the more damage you do) and then reset that with an assist if you have someone like Ryu, Jun, Ken, etc. who has a comboable assist (no throws, knockdowns etc.)
most simple combos in that game are way too easy, that's not the hard part, spacing, safe approaches, advancing guard, and not wasting mega crash are all very important.
also don't launch your opponent too quickly, you're wasting alot of meter and damage, make sure ground combos are complete before starting aerial combos
hmm.....i think i'll pick up the U.S version and a stick after i sell all this WoW gold.
