Best Dash Attk in the Game

invincible (from natural dash)
Semi-Super Armor (from attack)

Ankle Kick (lvl.3 to get titan step)
I suggest locking this skill in the skill menu to easily perform titan step

Titan Step (lvl.1)
Brief Semi-Super Armor
Hits grounded enemies and throws up
note-dont level it past 1 since it increases the animation and u cant cancel the attack, if ur enemy escapes, it will cost u, best to keep it at 1.

Change Upper (lvl.0/1 for preference)
i dont find the skill worth investing all the points of stonebreaker for this just to get a knock up and stance change, only good for charging bp, if u use stonebreaker as part of ur combo, go for it.
