Notation

Joystick Notation

Numpad Notation

Numpad notation denotes directional inputs in fighting games by using numbers that correspond to directions according to their position on a keyboard numpad.

Prefixes:

j. denotes that the input is done during a jump
t. denotes that the input is done while tilting the stick in the specified direction
s. denotes that the input is done while smashing the stick in the specified direction

A Attacks

The name of A attacks is written u, f, b, d, or n to denote up, forwards, back, down, or neutral respectively, then the move type: tilt, smash, or "air" to denote aerial (except in the case of jabs which are simply referred to as a jab).
e.g. fTilt, dAir, uSmash refer to forward tilt, down aerial, up smash respectively.
Note that some permutations of direction and move type do not exist; there is no such thing as a nSmash or a nTilt.

-All of the following are "performed" using the "A" button on the GCN controller.
+Note that some permutations of direction and move type do not exist; there is no such thing as a nSmash or a nTilt.
+==== B Attacks ====
-*Air [air] - Aerial move. Used in conjunction with any of the Joystick notation to signify a direction for the stick.
+B attacks are referred to as upB, sideB, downB, or neutralB corresponding to the direction held on the analog stick.
-''e.g. Fair''
-*Tilt [-tilt] - Tilt Move. Used in conjunction with any of the Joystick notation to signify a direction for the stick. This direction on the stick must be lightly pushed, or a smash attack will come out instead.
-''e.g. F-tilt''
-*Smash [-smash] - Smash move. Used in conjunction with any of the Joystick notation to signify a direction for the stick.
-''e.g. F-smash''
-=== "B" Attack Notation ===
-All of the following are "performed" using the "B" button on the GCN controller.
-*Across (Sometimes Over, >) - Forwards or backwards inclination on the joystick.
-''e.g. B-Across or Across-B''
-*U/D (Sometimes Up/Down respectively) - Up or downwards inclination on the joystick.
-=== Miscellaneous Notation ===
-*CC - Crouch Cancel - Hold Down - Reduce the recovery time after being hit by a move.
-*DI - Directional Influence - Tilt the joystick appropriately - Change your trajectory after being given a velocity (Only works perpendicular to the direction of motion)
-*L-Cancel - Press L (or R) at the exact point when you touch the ground during an aerial attack - Cancel some part of the move, so you recover quicker.
-*WD - Wavedash - Aerial Dodge into the ground at an angle that is not perpendicular to the surface - Slide along the ground whilst still being able to input commands.
-*DD - Dash Dance - Rapidly change the motion of your dash (left/right). Allows you to quickly be able to move towards an area.
-*DJC - Double Jump Cancel - Perform an attack during the second jump. - For some characters it stops their jump.
-*FF - Fast-falling - Holding down whilst FALLING - Reach the ground faster than you would normally.
-*IASA - Interruptible as soon as - The frames before the move can be interrupted.
-*SH - Short hopping - Lightly pressing one of the jump buttons - Jump less high than you would normally. (approx. 1/2 height)
-*SHFFLC (Sometimes SHFFL or Shuffle) - Short Hop, Fast Fall, L-Cancel.
-*SHB/SHL - Short Hop Laser/Blaster - Short Hop, B, Fast Fall.
