SF6 Combo Notation Guide
Notation	Meaning
>	Cancel the previous move to the following move. e.g. Normal into Special (2MK > 236P) or Special into Super (623P > 236236K)
~	Chain/Cancel the previous move into a followup. e.g. Luke's target combo (LP~MP~HP) or Rising Uppercut into Slam Dunk (623PP~PP)
,	Link the previous move to the following move. e.g. 5MP, 2MP (requires manual timing)
An example with Ken that uses all three "connecting" symbols: 2LP, 5MP~HP > 623P > 236236P 2LP links into 5MP; 5MP chains into HP Target Combo; HP cancels into Shoryuken which cancels into Lv.3 Super
j.X	Jumping action; for Neutral Jump, use 8j.X e.g. Kimberly j.2MP (Elbow Drop) or Ryu j.214K (Aerial Tatsumaki Senpukyaku)
P or K	Any Punch or Any Kick (when button strength does not matter) PP or KK represents any two punches/kicks.
X/Y	Do either X move or Y move. e.g. end a combo with 214K/623P
[X]	Hold the button input e.g. Luke 214[LP] = charged LP Flash Knuckle
dl.X	Briefly delay the action e.g. Ken 236HK~dl.6LK (Jinrai Loop starter)
AA	Anti-air; hit the opponent while they're mid-air. May cause a different juggle state compared to a grounded opponent.
Y xN {Y} xN	Repeat 'Y' input 'N' number of times. A sequence of multiple inputs will be bundled into "{}". e.g. 5LP x3 (5LP, 5LP, 5LP) or {2HP > Drive Rush} x3
Y > DR	Button Y cancelled into Drive Rush (3-bar version) e.g. 5HP > DR
DR~Y	Drive Rush into Button Y (cancel the dash frames early into a followup attack) This can be done from the 1-bar or 3-bar versions of Drive Rush e.g. 236HP Launch, DR~5LP
An example for Ryu using both Drive Rush notations: 2MK > DR~5HP (cancel 2MK into Drive Rush, then immediately use 5HP during dash animation)

Starter Combos

Light Confirms

Very Easy

LP > 2LP > 236MPHP
LP > 2LP > 63214HK
LP > 2LP > DR~5LP, 4MP > 63214HK

Dhalsim's bread and butter knockdowns off of light starters. When unsure if the opponent is standing or not it is safest to perform 2LP > 236MPHP. Only perform 2LP > 63214HK when close and sure the opponent is standing.

236MPHP will leave Dhalsim +49 on knockdown, which is enough time to put a yoga arch or yoga fire into play and recover with +4 or +2 frames to spare, respectively.

63214HK gives Dhalsim one of his most important knockdowns, leaving him +42 and far away from the opponent. Ground teleport will leave Dhalsim +3 and air teleport will allow him to strike a standing opponent with a meaty j.LP. If done in the corner Dhalsim can follow up with 2LK or 1HK to reset or sweep the opponent respectively.

Combo Enders

Any combo ender that leaves you +40 or higher will leave you plus if you teleport immediately afterward. For example, ending a combo with 63214HK leaves you +42, making an instant teleport after this ender leave you +3.
Any combo ending with 63214HK will whiff if the opponent was crouching as you started the combo, unless you use a move to force stand like 4MP.

236P

Ender	Position	Damage	Advantage	Notes
...236HP	Anywhere	600	~-2	Meterless combo ender that doesn't require the opponent to be standing and can be comboed from lights. Frame advantage changes slightly based on spacing. -2 assumes point-blank range. Heavy version is preferred since it is faster and therefore more likely to combo.
...236MPHP	Anywhere	1000	~+49	Combo ender that doesn't require the opponent to be standing and can be comboed from lights. Frame advantage changes slightly based on spacing. +49 assumes point-blank range. MPHP version is preferred since it is faster and therefore more likely to combo.
236P, (Yoga Fire connects), 5MK/5MP 5HP 5HK...	Anywhere	1200/1300 1600 1400 + Ender	-2 -5/-6 Variable	Extra damage with a normal if a fireball connects. See "Heavy Confirm Combos" for enders from 5HK.

63214K

Ender	Position	Damage	Advantage	Notes
...63214HK	Anywhere	1200	+42	Meterless knockdown that leaves you plus enough for oki with an immediate teleport afterward. Requires the opponent to be hit while standing or for them to be hit with a move that forces stand (such as 4MP).
...63214HK > 236236K	Anywhere	4800	+19	Level 3 cancel from 63214HK. Does a lot more damage but has worse frame advantage.
...63214HK, 2LK	Corner	1400	+6-10	Reset with 2LK. Frame advantage decreases the later 2LK is performed. Corner only.
...63214HK, 1HK	Corner	2100	+40	Free extra damage with 1HK. Corner only.
...63214HK, 214214HK	Corner	4000	+50	Level 2 ender that doesn't cost Drive Gauge but can only be done in the corner.
...63214KK > 214214HK	Anywhere	3800	+54	Level 2 ender that can be done anywhere but requires Drive Gauge. Requires using 63214KK instead of 63214HK. With the removal of the 20% scaling from 63214KK, this is actually a decent ender now. It does carry the opponent quite far and is very plus, too. Does more damage and has a faster startup compared to the 63214PP version, but has less range and frame advantage.

63214P

Ender	Position	Damage	Advantage	Notes	Video
...63214LP	Anywhere	800	+33	Usually done from certain lights or mediums.	N/A
...63214MP	Anywhere	900	+33	Usually done from certain mediums or heavies.	N/A
...63214HP	Anywhere	1200	+45	Meterless knockdown with enough frame advantage for oki with a teleport afterward. Teleport needs to be delayed slightly to prevent opponent from teching out of range after it.	WIP
...63214HP > 236236K	Close	4800	+19	Level 3 cancel from 63214HP. Does a lot more damage but has worse frame advantage. Has to be done close or else 236236K will whiff.	WIP
...63214PP, 2MK	Anywhere	1300	+5-11	Meterless follow-up that leaves the opponent point-blank, allowing for a mixup. Can be useful for going on offense without switching sides with a 63214HK teleport setup. Frame advantage decreases the later 2MK is performed.	WIP
...63214PP, 5HK	Anywhere	1600	+39	Meterless follow-up that leaves the opponent far away with good frame advantage. 5HK can be canceled into a charged fireball or a regular safe fireball.	WIP
...63214PP, 2HK	Anywhere	1700	+31-33	Meterless follow-up that keeps the opponent close. Frame advantage varies slightly depending on when 2HK is performed. Doing forward dash or 2LK after is recommended to allow for a mixup even with back tech. Forward dash will leave you +6-8 and 2LK will leave you +5-7.	WIP
...63214PP, 5HP	Anywhere	1800	+2	Highest damage meterless follow-up that leaves the opponent far away but has poor frame advantage.	WIP
...63214PP, 236236MP/236236HP/236236LP	Anywhere	2900/2840/2720	+25-31/+28-35/+27-30	Universal level 1 ender. Frame advantage varies depending on when the super is performed. 236236MP is the preferred ender due to it dealing the most damage. 236236HP is for further ranges where 236236MP would whiff. 236236LP is only useful if 63214PP connects from particularly far away.	WIP
...63214PP, 5HK > 236236HP	Close	3232	+34	Higher damage level 1 ender, but requires the opponent to be close or else 236236HP will whiff. It is possible to end with 236236MP instead in the corner, but a single hit will whiff and it will deal less damage than 236236HP.	Link
...63214PP > 214214HK	Anywhere	3600	+58	Level 2 ender that can be done anywhere but requires Drive Gauge. Requires using 63214PP instead of 63214P. Has more range and frame advantage compared to the 63214KK version, but does less damage and has a slower startup.	WIP

Supers
All supers can be canceled into from all special-cancelable normals (including 5LP, but the timing is difficult) for extra damage without having to spend Drive Gauge or having to deal with combo scaling.

Ender	Position	Damage	Advantage	Notes
...236236LP	Anywhere	1920	~+24	Furthest reaching variant with the least damage. Use if the opponent is too far for the other two versions to connect. Can get more frame advantage depending on the combo, but won't be enough for teleport mixup (+40).
...236236MP	Anywhere	2100	~+24	Highest damage variant with the least range. Generally the go-to level 1 ender. Can get more frame advantage depending on the combo, but won't be enough for teleport mixup (+40).
...236236HP	Anywhere	2040	~+27	More range but less damage than 236236MP and more damage but less range than 236236LP. Can get more damage than 236236MP if comboed from 5HK, but that requires the opponent to be close. Can get more frame advantage depending on the combo, but won't be enough for teleport mixup (+40).
...214214K	Anywhere	2800	~+50	Very plus ender that sends the opponent far. Can get even more frame advantage depending on the combo. Heavy version is preferred since it goes the furthest horizontally, making it more likely to connect (although it doesn't matter for some combos anyway). Tends to whiff or miss some hits if connected directly from a normal without being point-blank.
...236236K	Anywhere	4000	+19	Frame advantage is always the same. Will only scale down to 50% damage at worst.

All Combos

Notes:

Any combo ending with 63214HK will whiff if the opponent was crouching as you started the combo, unless you use a move to force stand like 4MP.
Any combo ending with 63214HK can link into 1HK or 214214K in the corner.

Normal Hit
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
5LP/1LK > 2LP...	Anywhere	540/440 + Ender	Very Easy	Light starter. Up to three lights can be chained if point blank.	N/A
2LP/5LK > 236HP/236MPHP	Close	~960/1240	Very Easy	Has to be point blank for 236HP to connect after 5LP > 2LP. 2LP can hit at almost max range for 236MPHP to connect. Both fireballs can connect from further away if starting with 5LK.	Link
2LP > 63214HK	Close	~1380	Easy	Has to be done point blank if starting with 5LP > 2LP, same as above. 63214HK can connect from slightly further if starting with just one 2LP. Can be started with 5LK but there's no reason to do that at this range.	Link
2LP/5LK > 236236MP/236236K	Anywhere	~2004/3340	Easy	Super enders without spending Drive Gauge. Overall best light confirm route into level 3 - going from 63214HK requires the opponent to be standing, and going from DR~5LP... costs 3 bars of Drive Gauge along with dealing nearly identical damage to this combo. Ending with level 2 isn't quite worthwhile here - it does 2540 damage but requires you to be point blank and start with just one light. If going for a punish with a single light, then it's better to just link into 4MK/4MP and go from there.	WIP
5LK > 63214LP	Anywhere	940	Easy	Has to be done somewhat close so that 63214LP can reach. Not a useful combo, especially since the light attack scaling nerf - just use 4MK or 1HP at this range.	Link
2LP/5LK > DR~5LP, 4MP...	Anywhere	~1074 + Ender	Medium	Standard light confirm BnB. Does more damage, carries further, and doesn't have a range requirement like the other combos, but is meter-hungry. Not as good now due to the light scaling nerf. Up to three 2LPs can be linked to start this combo if done at point blank range. Typically ended with 63214HK for good oki and to conserve meter. See "Medium Starter" section for other follow-ups.	Link

Punish Counter
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
5LP, 4MK/4MP...	Anywhere	840/920 + Ender	Easy	Starting with 2LP is pointless since the rest of the combo will whiff when started outside of 5LP range anyway. 4MK/4MP will whiff if 5LP connects from max range.	WIP
5LK > 63214MP	Anywhere	1080	Very Easy		WIP

Normal Hit
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
2MP > 236HP/236MPHP	Anywhere	1200/1600	Very Easy	Has to be close enough so that 236HP can hit, further away they will be forced to block. 2MP can hit from slightly further away if ending with 236MPHP.	Link
2MP > 63214LP 2MP > 63214PP... 2MP > DR~4MK/4MP...	Anywhere	1400 1400 + Ender 1110/1195 + Ender	Easy	More damage and knockdown than 236HP ender in above combo but has to be done slightly closer or else 63214LP will whiff. 63214PP will connect from a bit further than 63214LP. Tricky (but possible) to get 4MK after a nearly max range 2MP. DR~4MP deals slightly more damage and forces stand but has less range, more startup, and can't combo into 63214HP or link into 4MK compared to 4MK.	Link
2MP > 236236LP/236236MP	Anywhere	2520/2700	Easy	Super enders without spending Drive Gauge. Use 236236LP if 2MP connects around max range. Don't bother using 214214K/2362326K since they will whiff unless in 1HP range.	WIP
4MP > 63214HK 4MP > 63214PP... 4MP > DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1900 1500 + Ender 1380 + Ender	Easy	4MP follow-ups. There's little reason to end with 63214MP since it only allows you to convert from very slightly further, 4MP forces stand, and 63214HK does more damage along with granting enough frame advantage for teleport oki.	WIP
4MK > 63214MP 4MK > 63214HK 4MK > 63214PP... 4MK > DR~1HP/4HP 4MK > 4HK, 5LP, 2LP > 63214HK	Anywhere	1500 1800 1400 + Ender 1280/1365 + Ender 2443	Easy	4MK follow-ups. Uniquely has enough advantage on hit to Drive Rush into 4HP/4HK, unlike Dhalsim's other medium normals.	WIP
DR~4MK > 63214HP DR~4MK, 4MK...	Anywhere	1800 1200 + Ender	Easy	Follow-ups from Drive Rush 4MK.	WIP
1MK > 63214LP 1MK > 63214HK 1MK > 63214PP... 1MK > DR~4MK...	Anywhere	1140 1460 1140 + Ender 908 + Ender	Easy	1MK follow-ups. Needs to opt for 63214LP instead of 63214MP, can only Drive Rush into 4MK instead of 1HP, and overall does less damage.	WIP
1MK/4MK/4MP > 236236MP 1MK/4MK/4MP > 214214K 1MK/4MK/4MP > 236236K	Anywhere	2180/2700/2800 2740/3400/3500 3700/4600/4700	Medium	Super enders without spending Drive Gauge.	WIP
2MK, 5LP/2LP... 2MK, 1MK/4MK... DR~2MK, 1HP...	Anywhere	740 + Ender 900/980 + Ender 1140 + Ender	Medium/Hard	Links from slide. 5LP tends to whiff if slide was done from far away enough, so 2LP can be used for range at the cost of being a frame slower. Mediums require slide to connect from max range. DR~2MK can link into 1HP from a bit closer since it can be up to +13 on hit.	WIP

Counter Hit
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
2MP > DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1400 + Ender	Easy	Counter hit allows 1HP to be comboed into for better reward.	WIP
1MK > 63214MP 1MK > DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1320 1144 + Ender	Easy	New follow-ups for 1MK on counter hit.	WIP
4MK, 2LP > 63214HK	Close	1980	Easy	Counter hit allows for a light to be linked from 4MK for a little more damage. This link is only worthwhile if ending with 63214HK with nothing else afterward, otherwise ignoring the light and going straight into the ender gives more damage. 4MP as a starter has too much pushback on hit and only leaves you +4, so don't try that.	WIP
j.2KK (instant), j.MP, 236236LP/236236MP	Anywhere	2376/2520	Easy	Use 236236LP if j.MP connects at max range, otherwise use 236236MP for more damage.	WIP

1HP > 63214MP/63214HP/63214PP.../DR~1HP/4HP/4HK...	Anywhere	1700/2000/Variable	Easy	1HP follow-ups. If 1HP hits at further ranges then you'll have to do 63214MP.	WIP
DR~1HP (max range) > 63214HP DR~1HP, 4MK...	Anywhere	2000/Variable	Easy	Follow-ups from Drive Rush 1HP. 63214HP will always combo if 1HP connects from Drive Rush, so always opt for that ender over 63214MP here.	WIP
...DR~4HP > 63214HP/63214PP.../DR~1HP/4HP/4HK...	Anywhere	Variable	Easy	Follow-ups from Drive Rush 4HP. 4HP is only worth doing over 1HP if it doesn't start the combo, since it applies a 20% scaling as a starter but doesn't apply it otherwise.	WIP
DR~4HK, 5LP > 2LP > 63214HK	Anywhere	2380	Easy	Slightly higher damage if going for a Drive Rush and not spending any more meter afterward compared to DR~1HP, 4MK > 63214HK. This combo is only worth using if ending with 63214HK - scaling makes any other ender inferior to DR~1HP, 4MK...	WIP
5HK > DR~5MK 5HK > DR~2MP/1HP...	Anywhere	1310 1310/1480 + Ender	Easy	5HK has to connect from fairly close for 1HP to combo - just about outside of 2MP range. 2MP can be used from further away, and 5MK should only be used from around max range for extra damage.	WIP
1HP/5HK > 236236MP/236236LP/214214K/236236K	Anywhere	2900/2720/3600/4800	Easy	Super enders without spending Drive Gauge. Use 236236LP if 5HK connects from further away. 214214K requires being point blank and 236236K will only connect a little closer than 1HP's max range.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HK, 2MP/4MK/4MP/1HP...	Anywhere	1280/1360/1440 + Ender	Easy	Confirm from j.HK at Yoga Float height. 1HP will only connect if j.HK connects from further away. Use 2MP if j.HK connects at max range.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HP, 2MP/1HP...	Anywhere	1280/1440 + Ender	Easy	Confirm from j.HP at Yoga Float height. Use 2MP if j.HP connects from further away.	WIP

1HP, 4MK...	Close	1560 + Ender	Easy		WIP
5HK, 1HP.../4HP...	Anywhere	1760/1860 + Ender	Easy	Main punish starter for stuff like baited DPs. 4HP grants a bit more damage if really close to opponent. Cancel into Drive Rush to link the 1HP/4HP if further away. DR~1HP can hit from a max range 5HK if the attack is delayed during the Drive Rush. DR~4HP can hit from decently far away if timed well - a little less than 5HK's max range.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.LP (whiff), 5HK, 1HP.../4HP...	Anywhere	1760/1860 + Ender	Easy	Same combo as above but used as a punish for command throws. Command throws have enough whiff recovery to cancel out of the float and go for 5HK. Starting with j.HK/j.HP will do less damage due to jump-in scaling.	WIP
5HK, 5HK.../2HK/5HP	Anywhere	1760 + Ender/1860/1960	Easy	Longer ranged options that don't require a DRC. 2HK will require you to be closer to the opponent - around the distance of a 2MP.	WIP
DR~5HK > 6PPP, 5LP > 2LP...	Anywhere	1500 + Ender	Easy	Side switch teleport combo. Can be ended with any applicable light ender. Teleporting with 6KKK will cause the 2LP to whiff.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HK (close), 1HP...	Anywhere	1600 + Ender	Easy	Yoga Float punish starter. j.HK can now link into 1HP even if it was done close. Typically used as a shimmy.	WIP

DI (PC or wall splat), 4HP > 63214HK/63214MP/236236MP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	2520/2310/3144/Variable	Easy	Main Drive Impact punish starter, but also works on wall splat. 4HP normally isn't a good starter since it scales the next hit to 80%. However, Drive Impact already scales the first hit to 80%, meaning that the second hit will always be 70% regardless of starter. Use 63214MP if 4HP connects from further away (63214HP will fail to combo at the same range as 63214HK).	WIP
PC DI, 6PPP, 4MK > 63214MP/236236MP/236236K	Anywhere	2070/2904/4240	Easy	Side switch after a Drive Impact. Only the first hit of 63214PP will connect and it won't lead into anything else so don't do that.	WIP
PC DI, 6PPP, 4MK > DR~1HP > 63214HP/63214HK/236236HP/214214K DI, 6PPP, 4MK > DR~1HP > DR~1HP (delayed) > 63214HP/63214HK/236236HP/214214K/236236K	Anywhere	2524/2944/3338 2824/3172/3496/4320	Medium	63214HK and 214214K will only connect if DR~1HP is delayed. 63214HP has more corner carry but less consistent oki compared to 63214HK. Level 3 ender without the second Drive Rush cancel will do less damage than the above combo so avoid that. Compared to the above combo, ending with 63214HP/63214HK can be worthwhile for oki and more damage, but all other options are just for squeezing out a bit more damage and generally aren't recommended.	WIP
PC DI, j.6PPP, j.LK, 2HK (, 66)	Anywhere	1830	Medium	Forward dash after 2HK will leave you +10 and in range for strike/throw.	WIP
PC DI, j.6PPP, j.LK, 5HK > 236MK/236HK, 6KKK	Anywhere	1760	Medium	Side switch combo that does less damage but sets up a gimmicky offense with Yoga Arch. Use 236MK if the opponent is in the corner. Use 236HK otherwise. 5HK can cancel into 236236LP but some of the hits will whiff and it will do overall less damage than the above combos. This combo can be used for setting up offense, but there's a decent amount of time for the opponent to hit you before the Yoga Arch lands if you try to get close.	WIP
DI, (DI stun), 236LK, j.2KK (instant), (Yoga Arch connects), j.HP (while moving forward), 1HP > 236HK, 4MP...	Corner	2880 + Ender	Medium	DI stun combo. Don't go into DR~1HP unless trying to squeeze out as much damage as possible with a Level 3 ender - the scaling makes it inferior to other enders.	WIP

Teleport Openers

Basic Teleport Combo

Medium

9PPP/KKK (instant), j.LP, 4MP/4MK/1HP...

Teleport approximately one frame above jump - the air jab provides 7-9 frames of advantage if instantly done after a teleport. Delaying the jab slightly can give 11-12 frames of advantage, allowing a link into 1HP for better damage.
