I got inspired by @AK L0rdoftheFLY to dig into the combo science behind Kano's different combo options.
DISCLAIMER: I'm too bad at math and too tired to be bothered to develop this fully BUT this should give you an idea of which combos you should be using. I wrote out the EXACT damage for the f212 combos but then I realised it's SO MUCH WORK so this is more to give you an idea of how different combos scale.
These are all done from the corner towards midscreen as to not get extra damage from double hits from Kano ball (which will occur in the corner).
F212 with NO BUFF
Combo: f212 f212 112 ball
Damage breakdown: 3, 1.90, 6.32, 2.30, 1.46, 4.85, 1.18, 1.12, 3.72, 4.04
Total damage: 29.89%
Combo: f212 2 db1 112 ball
Damage breakdown: 3, 1.90, 6.32, 3.84, 5.10, 1.11, 1.05, 3.50, 3.80
Total damage: 29,62%
Combo: f212 2 db1 b121 ball
Damage breakdown: 3, 1.90, 6.32, 3.84, 5.10, 2.77, 1.58, 2.50, 1.20, 3.04
Total damage: 31,25%
Analysis: The last combo is without a doubt the best one BUT it's without a doubt the hardest. Between using double f212 or 2 slice it's really a toss up, but 2 slice will build more bar AND not cost you any stamina.
F212 with BUFF
Combo: f212 f212 112 ball
Damage breakdown: 3.75, 2.38, 7.9, 2.88, 1.82, 6.06, 1.47, 1.4, 4.65, 5.05
Total damage: 37,36%
Combo: f212 2 db1 112 ball
Damage breakdown: 3.75, 2.38, 7.9, 4.79, 6.38, 1.38, 1.32, 4.37, 4.75
Total damage: 37,02%
Combo: f212 2 db1 b121 ball
Damage breakdown: 3.75, 2.38, 7.9, 4.79, 6.38, 3.46, 3.12, 1.97, 1.50, 3.80
Total damage: 39,05%
Analysis: Same as above.

112 EX Slice without BUFF
Combo: 112 EX slice 2 slice b121 ball
Total damage: 38%
Combo: 112 EX slice f212 112 ball
Total damage: 37%
112 EX Slice with BUFF
Combo: 112 EX slice 2 slice b121 ball
Total damage: 48%
Combo: 112 EX slice f212 112 ball
Total damage: 46%
Analysis: Use 2 slice after EX slice. Builds more meter, costs no stamina and does more damage. It's easy AF too.
__________
112 EX BUFF
Combo: 112 EX BUFF f212 f212 112 ball
Total damage: 42%
Combo: 112 EX BUFF f212 2 slice 112 ball
Total damage: 42%
Combo: 112 EX BUFF f212 2 slice b121 ball
Total damage: 44%
Analysis: Again b121 combo is harder but more rewarding.
____________
112 EX BUFF (2 bars)
Combo: 112 EX BUFF f212 f212 112 EX SLICE b12 ball
Total damage: 51%
Combo: 112 EX BUFF f212 2 slice 112 EX SLICE b12 ball
Total damage: 51%
Combo: 112 EX BUFF f212 2 slice b121 EX SLICE b12 ball
Total damage: 50%
Combo: 112 EX BUFF 112 EX SLICE 2 slice b121 ball
Total damage: 52%
Analysis: If you know that you have 2 bars (and they don't have breaker) the 112 EX buff into 112 EX SLICE is the way to go, but many times you want a second to think about spending the next bar. If that's not the case double f212 OR 2 slice into 112 is the way to go. Interestingly enough the combo that does the least damage is b121 after slice (which is also the hardest).
