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	Video
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	Video
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	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes	Video
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 Crumple Combos

Punish Counter 5HP puts the opponent into a crumple state which significantly changes the available combo routes.

Most of these combos also work after a Drive Impact Wall Splat or Punish Counter Drive Impact.
On Punish Counter it's usually better to do one of the combos directly listed in the Drive Impact Combos section, but sometimes the higher launch height of a crumple combo is desirable.

For combos after Drive Impact, simply replace the PC 5HP, 6HP/4HP starter in a listed combo with one of:

• PC DI, 66, 4HP/6HP
• DI (Wall), (66), 4HP/6HP (Whether to dash depends on the distance the opponent travels to the wall)

Other adjustments can be made to the listed combos depending on the range at which 5HP or DI hits:

• 4HP can be used instead of 6HP for 100 more damage, but this causes consistency issues at longer ranges. It works better after DI.
• When out of range for 6HP, a non-cancelled DR~2HP/4HP can be used for the cost of 1 drive bar and some damage.
• PC 5HP > DR~2HP/6HP extends the range to full screen (e.g. Dhalsim limbs) at the cost of 3 drive bars.
• The 4HP and 2HP variants mentioned above also launch the opponent slightly higher than 6HP, which allows for better juggle combos.

For combos that can end with any Special Move:

• 623HP deals the most damage without using extra resources, and is used to calculate the given damage values.
• 214HP is the standard ender for building a Windclad stock. 214MP gives an extra frame of knockdown advantage at the cost of some damage.
• 236HK allows for alternative pressure options, and is especially strong when Windclad. Using lighter versions adjusts the knockdown advantage.
• SA1 or SA2 also work, though SA2 usually needs a Windclad stock to be worth it.

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes	Video
PC 5HP > *.236HK	Anywhere	2080{2180}			Easy	Meterless and driveless whiff punish that almost always reaches. Windclad version connects from an even longer distance.
PC 5HP, 360HP/360PP	Anywhere	3320 3400	0 2		Medium	Close range punish. 360LP and 360MP are less efficient than a regular combo.
PC 5HP, 6HP > Special	Anywhere	2940{3100} 3740 3980{4220}		0 1 2	Easy	Standard punish on whiff or block into any special move.
PC 5HP, 6HP > DR~4HP > Special	Anywhere	3368{3486} 3908	3	0 1	Medium
PC 5HP, DR~2HP > DR~4HP > 236MK	Anywhere	3141	1~4		Medium	Safe jump setup.
PC 5HP, 6HP > DR~(dl.)4HP > DR~4HP > Special	Anywhere	3862{3964} 4321 4525{4678}	3~6	0 1 2	Hard	Full drive dump variant. A delay is needed for W.623P or SA1 to connect properly. There is also a risk of crossing under the opponent if too close.
PC 5HP, 6HP > (DR~4HP) > 214PP > W.236236K	Anywhere	4620 4544	2 2~5	2	Medium	An extremely efficient use of meter. The drive rush extension deals less damage but builds more meter.
PC 5HP, 6HP > 214PP, W.623MP	Corner	3660	2		Medium	Generates and immediately uses Windclad.
PC 5HP, 6HP > 214PP, W.623PP > *.j.PPP	Corner	3900 4460{4540}	2~4 4~6		Medium	Drive dump extension of the above.
PC 5HP, 6HP > *.623PP > *.j.PPP, (*.236236K)	Corner	3940{4100}{4220} 4940{5100}{5220}{5340}	2~4	0 2	Medium	Deals more damage than the 4 drive 214PP route above. Also provides a good windless route into SA2.
PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP > *.236KK > 236236K	Corner	4320{4540}	2	2	Medium	0-1 Windclad. Safe jump setup. Non-Windclad 236KK requires 4HP.
PC 5HP, DR~2HP > 214PP, W.623PP > *.j.PPP, *.236236K	Corner	5038{5106}{5226}	5~7	2	Medium	Windless drive dump route into SA2. Not as efficient as the above, but useful when too far for 6HP.
PC 5HP, 6HP > (DR~4HP) > W.236HK, W.623HP	Corner Windclad x2	3780 3956	0 3		Medium	2 Windclad.
PC 5HP, 4HP > DR~4HP, W.623HP, (W.623LP)	Corner Windclad	3586(4096)	3		Hard	1-2 Windclad. W.623HP is a safe jump setup.
PC 5HP, 4HP > DR~4HP, W.623HP, W.623PP > *.j.PPP	Corner Windclad x2	4878{4946}	5~7		Hard	2-3 Windclad. Drive dump version of the above.
PC 5HP, 4HP > W.236KK, W.623HP, W.623LP/(W.623PP > j.PPP)	Corner Windclad x3	4380 4680 5100	2 2~4 4~6		Hard	3 Windclad. Must hit with the absolute tip of 4HP.
PC 5HP, 6HP > W.236HK, 236236P/*.236236K	Corner Windclad	4260 4440{4520}		1 2	Medium	1 Windclad into SA1 or SA2.
PC 5HP, 4HP > W.236HK, W.623PP > W.j.PPP, 236236P	Corner Windclad x3	5300	2~4	1	Medium	3 Windclad into SA1.
PC 5HP, 6HP > W.236KK, W.623PP > W.j.PPP, 236236P	Corner Windclad x3	5200	4~6	1	Medium	3 Windclad into SA1. Requires more drive gauge than the above but works from further away.
PC 5HP, 6HP > W.236HK, W.623PP > *.j.PPP, (236236K)	Corner Windclad x2	4460{4540} 5460{5540}	2~4	0 2	Medium	2-3 Windclad into SA2.
PC 5HP, 4HP > 214PP, W.623PP > W.j.PPP, *.236236K	Corner Windclad	5640{5760}	4~6	2	Medium	1+ Windclad into SA2. Requires more drive gauge than the above.

Optimal Punish Counter 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.

Combo Starter	Startup	After Parry	Damage	Drive Damage	Notes
PC DR~4HP, 2HP	25f	23f	2200	0.8	Optimal punish.
PC 5HP, 6HP/4HP	11f	11f	1980/2080	0.8	For less punishable moves. Use 6HP for mid-screen consistency.
PC DR~5MK, 2HP	18f	16f	1720	0.4	More damage than 5HP when going into SA3.
PC j.HK, 2HP	~40f	~40f	1960	0.5	Less damage than DR~4HP but conserves some drive gauge.
PC DI	26f	26f		1.5	Less damage than all the above but can burn the opponent out more easily.

Notable examples where 5HP or 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).

DR~5MK or j.HK or DI can be used in place of DR~4HP in any combo listed below.
5HP has its own combo routes that are covered in the previous section.
DI also has some crumple specific combos that are covered in the Drive Impact section below.

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes	Video
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, 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, 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	Video
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.
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), 4HP/6HP > (Punish Counter Crumple Combo)	Corner		1+			Equivalent to PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP Refer to the Punish Counter Crumple Combos section. Damage will be roughly 70% of the listed values.
PC DI, 66, 4HP/6HP > (Punish Counter Crumple Combo)	Anywhere		1+			Equivalent to PC 5HP, 4HP/6HP Refer to the Punish Counter Crumple Combos section. Damage will be roughly 80% of the listed values.
