Go Diego Go!!
Diego is my first main in DOA6. He's about as straightforward as you can get, his combos are easy to pull off and he doesn't have to change much in his combos to deal with different weight classes.
I'm sure there's more optimal stuff floating around but I wanted to put up this guide to get new players like myself started with Diego.
Enjoy!!
