Combo Notation Guide

Click "Expand" for information about combo notation in SF6:

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)

Lily Additional Combo Notation
Notation	Meaning
W.X	The Windclad version of the following special move is required. e.g. 5LP > W.236MK.
*.X	Either the Windclad OR the normal version of the following special move can be used. e.g. 5LP > *.236KK. The damage of the Windclad version will be denoted in brackets {}.
	When both of the above are omitted, the normal non-Windclad version of the special move should be used.

When using Modern controls, the following moves are unavailable to Lily, so any combo that uses them cannot be performed.

DR~5LP (and any other instance of 5LP being used outside of a chain combo)
5MK
3HP

Drive Gauge values may be formatted as A~B.

'B' is the total amount of drive gauge used by the combo.
'A' excludes the last drive move in the combo.
When the amount of available drive gauge is more than 'A' but less than 'B', the combo can still be used at the cost of burning out.

Light Starter

These combos are designed to work at the distance after a blocked Windclad Condor Spire (W.236K).
5LK > 2LP is used as a standard confirm. 5LK is Lily's fastest normal move, and 2LP has the least pushback so keeps the opponent closer for consistency on hit and pressure on block.

OD Windclad Condor Spire has more pushback than the non-OD versions. Replace 5LP with 2LP in the hit-confirm to compensate.
2LK can be used instead of 5LK for a low hit, but this also has more pushback. Replace 5LP with 2LP in the hit-confirm to compensate.
Conversely, 5LP can be used instead of 2LP for more damage but more pushback.

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
5LK > 2LP > *.623P	Anywhere	1530{1690}			Easy	623HP works best against standing opponents. 623LP is the most consistent against crouching opponents. 623MP is in between.
5LK > 2LP > .623PP > (.j.PPP)	Anywhere	1690{1530} 2530{2370}{2490}	2 2~4		Easy	More consistent than regular 623P. Windclad version deals LESS damage due to whiffing the first hit, which only connects almost point blank on a crouching opponent.
5LK > 2LP > 5LP > .236KK > (.236236K)	Anywhere	1550{1690} 2800{2940}{3090}	2	0 2	Easy	For when too far away to connect with 623P. Non-windclad 236KK, 214[PP] is +2 on the opponent's wakeup.
5LK > 2LP > 5LP > W.236MK	Anywhere Windclad	1620			Easy	W.236MK, 214LP is +2 on the opponent's wakeup. Loopable in the corner. W.236LK is more consistent at range but loses 2 frames of advantage.
5LK > 2LP > 5LP > 236236P/214214P	Anywhere	2390 3550(3850)		1 3	Medium	Easier input: 2LP > 236LP~236P
5LK > 2LP > 5LP > W.236MK > W.623MP	Corner Windclad x2	2265			Easy	2 Windclad corner combo.
5LK > 2LP > 5LP > W.236MK > W.623PP > (*.j.PPP)	Corner Windclad x2	2420 2840{2900}	2 2~4		Easy	2+ Windclad drive dump.
5LK > 2LP > 5LP > W.236KK > W.623PP > *.j.PPP, 236236K	Corner Windclad x2	3910{3970}	4~6	2	Easy	2+ Windclad drive and meter dump.
5LK > 2LP > 2LP/5LP > DR~5LP, ... 2HP > (Heavy Starter Combo) 5MK > (Medium Starter Combo)	Anywhere	2070+	3+	0+	Medium	Light Drive Rush confirm into bigger buttons. Staying close by using 2LP or a shorter confirm can lead to better followups.

Medium / Heavy Starter

All combos starting with "HP" can be done from any of 2HP, 4HP, 5HP, or 6HP.
Damage values assume 4HP or 2-hits of 2HP. Subtract 100 damage for 5HP or 6HP. Subtract 500 damage for a single-hit 2HP.

Similarly, all combos starting with "MK" work with either 2MK or 5MK.

Most of these combos work from poking distance. Exceptions will be noted.

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
MK > *.236LK/W.236HK	Anywhere	1400{1800}			Easy	Choose the kick button depending on distance and Windclad availability. Very unsafe on block without Windclad.
HP > .236LK/.236MK/W.236HK	Anywhere	1900{2200}			Easy	Choose the kick button depending on distance and Windclad availability. 2HP > 236LK can be plus on block and DI-safe if spaced correctly
HP/MK > *.623HP	Anywhere	2200{2600}			Easy	Not really confirmable on its own. Easier to use after a jump-in or Drive Rush confirm.
HP/MK > .236KK > .236236K	Anywhere	3750{3950}{4160}	2	2	Easy
HP/MK > W.236HK > W.623HP	Corner Windclad x2	3180			Easy	2 Windclad.
HP/MK > W.236KK, 236236P	Corner Windclad	3740	2	1	Easy	1 Windclad.
HP/MK > W.236HK, *.236236K	Corner Windclad	3950{4160}		2	Easy	1 Windclad.
HP/MK > W.236HK > W.623PP > *.j.PPP, (236236K)	Corner Windclad x2	4020{4120} {5120}	2~4	0 2	Medium	2-3 Windclad. 236236K requires 3 Windclad.
HP/MK > W.236KK > W.623PP > j.PPP, 236236K	Corner Windclad x2	5020{5120}	4~6	2	Medium	2 Windclad. W.236KK deals no extra damage, but launches higher than W.236HK.
HP > 214PP > (W.236236K)	Anywhere	2200 4160	2	0 2	Easy	SA2 doesn't connect from the tip of 2HP/4HP range.
HP > 214PP > W.623MP	Corner	3040	2		Easy	Builds and uses Windclad.
HP > 214PP > W.623PP > (*.j.PPP)	Corner	3320 4020{4120}	2~4 4~6		Easy	Builds and uses Windclad.
HP > 214MP > (214214P)	Anywhere	1900 4600(4900)		0 3	Easy	214MP is +2 on hit, which allows for some sneaky resets.
4HP/6HP > 214HP	Anywhere	2100			Easy	214HP doesn't combo after 2HP or 5HP without a counterhit or DR.
2MP > 236236P/214214P	Anywhere	2900 4750(5200)		1 3	Medium	Technically also works with 236236K, but not from a sane distance.
4HP, 5LK > (Light Starter Combo)	Anywhere	2260+	0+	0+	Hard	Must be done at point blank range. Skip the first 2LP after 5LK in the followup combo to account for distance.
HP/MK > DR~5LP, ... 2HP > (Heavy Starter Combo) 5MK > (Medium Starter Combo)	Anywhere	2413+	3+	0+	Medium	+3 on block.
HP/MK > DR~2HP, ... > 214HP/*.236HK > (Heavy Starter Combo) 5LK > (Light Starter Combo)	Anywhere	2198+	3+	0+	Medium	+2 on block.
HP > DR~4HP, ... > 214HP/*.236HK > (Heavy Starter Combo) 5MK > (Medium Starter Combo)	Anywhere	2966+	3+	0+	Medium	+2 on block. There is a gap but it is safe against Drive Impact.

Drive Rush Combos

Combo	Position	Drive Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
DR~5LP, 2HP > ...	Anywhere	1	Hard	Leads into a Heavy Starter combo.
DR~4HP/2LP/5LP, 5MK > ...	Anywhere	1	Medium	Leads into a Medium Starter combo. Typically goes straight into 623HP.
DR~4HP/2LP/5LP, 2MP > SA1/2/3	Anywhere	1	Medium	Slightly more damage than 5MK into SA.
DR~HP > 214HP/*.236HK	Anywhere	1	Medium	Can begin with any of 2HP, 4HP, 5HP or 6HP.
DR~3HP, 2LP/5LP > ...	Anywhere	1	Medium	Leads into a Light Starter combo. 2LP has more range, but 5LP deals slightly more damage. Can also use 5LK when close for easier timing.

Punish Counter Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
PC 5HP > *.236HK	Anywhere	2080{2180}			Easy	Long range meterless whiff punish that almost always reaches. Windclad version connects from an even longer distance.
PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP > (DR~4HP) > Special	Anywhere	2720+	0+	0-2	Medium	Close range whiff punish into any special move. 4HP deals more damage than 6HP but needs to be closer.
PC 5HP, 360HP/360PP	Anywhere	3320 3400	0 2		Medium	Close range alternative. LP/MP grab isn't as worth it compared to regular combos.
PC 5HP, DR~2HP > (DR~4HP) > Special	Anywhere	2474+	1+	0-2	Medium	Mid range whiff punish into any special move.
PC 5HP > DR...2HP/6HP > (DR~4HP) > Special	Anywhere	2474+	3+	0-2	Medium	Cancelling into DR significantly extends the range. DR~6HP allows for full screen punishes on Dhalsim's limbs.
PC DR~4HP/5MK, 2HP > (Heavy Starter Combo)	Anywhere	2920+	1+	0-3	Hard	Optimal starter for punishing reversals and other big whiffs. 5MK deals less damage but works against less punishable moves than 4HP. See the Reversal Punishes section below for optimising damage off this starter.
PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP > 214PP, W.623MP	Corner	3760	2		Medium	Generates and immediately uses Windclad.
PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP > 214PP, W.623PP > .j.PPP, .236236K	Corner	4000 4560{4640} 5640{5760}	2~4 4~6 4~6	0 0 2	Medium	0+ Windclad. SA2 requires Windclad j.PPP.
PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP > W.236HK, W.623HP	Corner Windclad x2	3880		0	Medium	2 Windclad
PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP > W.236HK, 236236P/*.236236K	Corner Windclad	4360 4540{4720}		1 2	Medium	1 Windclad + Super

Reversal Punish Combos

This section lists complete combo routes for punishing an opponent when they fail to hit with an extremely unsafe move like an invincible reversal.

DR~4HP punishes moves that are at least -23f when parried, or -25f when blocked.
DR~5MK punishes moves that are at least -16f when parried, or -18f when blocked. Deals 480 less damage than DR~4HP.
DI punishes moves that are at least -26f on block. It deals less damage than the above but can burn the opponent out.
j.HK punishes moves that are around -40f on block. This also deals less damage but conserves some drive gauge.

Notable examples where DR~5MK is needed because DR~4HP is too slow:

Chun-Li's SA1 (-22f), and SA3 if not parried (-24f).
Ryu's SA2 (-20f), and SA1 if not parried (-24f).
Cammy's SA1/SA2 if not parried or if they connect late in the animation (-24f).
Dee Jay's SA1 if not parried (-24f).
Ken's SA1 if not parried (-24f).

In all cases the different starter can used in place of DR~4HP in any combo listed below.
Note that DI does have some crumple specific combos that are covered in the separate Drive Impact section.

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > *.623HP	Anywhere	3160{3320}	1		Medium	Basic meterless followup.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > 623PP > (j.PPP)	Anywhere	3320{3160} 4160{4000}{4120}	1~3 3~5		Medium	Deals less damage when Windclad as the first hit of W.623PP whiffs.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > DR~4HP, 5MK > (DR~2HP) > *.623HP	Anywhere	3846{3948} 4248{4332}	1~4 4~7		Hard
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > DR~4HP, 5MK > .623PP > .j.PPP	Anywhere	4424{4526}{4594}	6~8		Hard	Must start with full drive gauge to build enough to finish the combo.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > W.236HK, W.623HP	Corner Windclad x2	4000	1		Medium	2 Windclad.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > 214PP, W.623MP	Corner	3880	1~3		Medium
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > W.236HK, W.623PP > (*.j.PPP)	Corner Windclad x2	4120 4680{4760}	1~3 3~5		Medium	2 Windclad.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > 214PP, W.623PP > (*.j.PPP)	Corner	4120 4680{4760}	3~5 5~7		Medium
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > 236236P	Anywhere	3960	1	1	Medium	Basic 1 bar combo.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > (DR~4HP) > DR~4HP, 2MP > 236236P	Anywhere	4404 4743	1~4 4~7	1	Hard
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > (DR~4HP, 5MK) > W.236KK, 236236P	Corner Windclad	4480 4591	1~3 4~6	1	Medium	1 Windclad. The drive rush extension is less efficient than the above midscreen combo.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > *.236236K	Anywhere	4200{4440}	1	2	Medium	Basic 2 bar combo.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > (DR~4HP) > 214PP > W.236236K	Anywhere	4840 4764	1~3 4~6	2	Medium	An extremely efficient use of meter. The drive rush extension deals less damage but builds more meter.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > DR~4HP, 5MK > W.236KK > *.236236K	Anywhere Windclad	4846{4966}	4~6	2	Hard	Deals more damage than the above when already Windclad.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > DR~4HP > DR~4HP, 2MP > *.236236K	Anywhere	4877{5003}	4~7	2	Hard
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > W.236HK, W.623PP > W.j.PPP, 236236K	Corner Windclad x3	5760	3~5	2	Hard	3 Windclad.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > W.236KK, W.623PP > j.PPP, 236236K	Corner Windclad x2	5680	5~7	2	Hard	2 Windclad.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > (214MP) > 214214P	Anywhere	5350(5700)	1	3	Medium	Basic 3 bar combo. 214MP results in less damage but builds more meter.
PC DR~4HP, 2HP > (DR~4HP, 5MK) > DR~5LP, 2HP > 214MP > 214214P	Anywhere	5737(5987) 6388(6638)	1~4 4~7	3	Hard	THE punish combo. Builds about 2/3 of a Super Gauge bar.

Drive Impact Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
PC DI, 4HP/2HP > (Heavy Starter Combo)	Anywhere	2530+	1+	0+		Keeps the opponent standing for a combo into SA3.
PC DI, 4HP > DI	Anywhere	2320	2	0	Easy	Deals 2.5 bars of drive damage. Very useful for burning out the opponent.
PC DI, 8j.2HP, 9j.MP~dl.MP, *.623LP/W.623MP	Anywhere	2960{3010} / {3110}	1		Hard	9j.2HP switches sides in the corner or from long range. W.623MP is only consistent in the corner or after a crossup.
PC DI, 8j.2HP, 9j.MP~dl.MP, .623PP > (.j.PPP)	Anywhere	3210{3310} 3630{3730}{3790}	1~3 3~5	0 0	Hard	9j.2HP switches sides in the corner or from long range.
PC DI, 8j.2HP, 9j.MP~dl.MP, W.623PP > W.j.PPP > *.236236K	Near Corner Windclad x2	4790{4910}	3~5	2	Hard	2 Windclad stocks allow the previous combo to be extended with SA2 in the corner.
PC DI, 8j.2HP, DR~4HP > Special	Anywhere	2751+	2		Hard	Burns a drive bar for a little more damage compared to just 4HP > Special. Unlike j.MP combos this allows ending with Condor Wind to build a stock.
PC DI, 8j.2HP, DR~dl.2HP > DR~4HP > W.236MK, 2HK	Near Corner Windclad	3344	2~5		Hard	1 Windclad. Situationally optimal with less than 3 drive bars and no super gauge. DR~2HP should be delayed to hit twice. W.236MK must only hit twice.
PC DI, 66, 4HP > W.236HK, 236236P	Near Corner Windclad	3700	1	1	Medium	1 Windclad into SA1 without burning any additional drive gauge. The dash isn't strictly necessary but pushes the opponent closer to the corner.
PC DI, 66, 4HP > W.236HK, W.623PP > W.j.PPP, 236236P	Near Corner Windclad x3	4540	3~5	1	Medium	3 Windclad into SA1.
PC DI, 66, 4HP > *.236KK > 236236K	Corner	3660{3850}	1	2	Easy	0-1 Windclad into SA2 safe jump setup.
PC DI, 66, 4HP > W.236HK, W.623PP > *.j.PPP, 236236K	Near Corner Windclad x2	4820{4880}	3~5	2	Medium	2-3 Windclad into SA2.
DI (Wall), 9j.2HP, ...	Near Corner	2152+	1+	0+	Hard	Leads into one of the juggle combos above if far enough from the corner.
DI (Wall), ...	Corner	1680+	1+	0+		Mostly equivalent to PC 5HP, but non-cancellable. Refer to PC 5HP followups in the Punish Counter section.
