* Uncharged fireballs are notated as 236P.
* Partial charge, two-hit fireballs are notated as 236{P}.
* Fully charged, three-hit fireballs are notated as 236[P].

Akuma can link 2LP into 5LK, his longest-reaching light normal. Otherwise, he only gets two light normals in a sequence before being pushed out of range.

== Combo Theory ==

=== Combo Enders ===
{{clr|10|214PP}} wallsplats can be extended starting from ~32% screen. At max range you will need to {{clr|4|DR}} into long normals, but these will whiff up close.

Damages will differ from below depending on the initial normal used.

=== Drive Rush Extensions ===
It's important to have moves that force stand to allow for all combo enders. {{clr|H|2HP}} and {{clr|H|4HK}} have notably higher damage, the former has less scaling and the latter has juggle properties.

| content    = 

{{clr|H|4HK}} can be used as an anti-air that can combo. Easiest extension is {{clr|M|236[MP](lvl.2)}} which can be followed up by {{clr|4|DR}} if not too far. Can also cancel into Demon Raid (236K/KK) for additional follow-ups.

| content    = 

{{clr|M|j.MP}} can be used to air-to-air combo into normal or EX fireball. Extensions are done with {{clr|4|DR}} {{clr|H|4HK}} after landing for additional juggles. Alternatively can end with {{clr|4|DR}} {{clr|H|5HP}}>{{clr|M|214MK}}/{{clr|H|214HK}} for simplicity.
