I'm just starting as well and I don't know any TOD combos either. Honestly, they're flashy as hell, but just a bit to repetitive for my liking. I can understand if I'm playing a tournament, I would want to use all tools to your advantage to win, but since I only play casually (i consider online ranked matches as 'casual'), then I don't see the need to be an expert on TOD combos.

However, I think TOD combos are greats as tool to learn different combo options. I learn a lot about what moves juggle or how to extend certain combos by watching other players use the same character(s) as me. This helps learn how to capitalize off of certain situations so I can go for max damage, or as much damage as I can without going into seemingly endless loops of hits.

For the record, I don't hate TOD combos. If someone else does them, good for them. They worked on the execution and timing for it, and got it down. For me, I think there is just too big of a margin for error and would rather go for the basic solid damage in a combo than risk a mess up and then missing out on damage or getting a character killed.
