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)

Combo Enders

Since Dhalsim's combo enders are freeform and mainly just depend on Drive Gauge/Super/positioning, the enders are listed here to prevent redundancy.

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, 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	3240	+54	Level 2 ender that can be done anywhere but requires Drive Gauge. Requires using 63214KK instead of 63214HK. Expensive with similar damage to a level 1 ender, so not too useful. It does carry the opponent quite far and is very plus, however. Does less damage than 63214PP version but is 12 frames instead of 18 frames.

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 varies depending on when 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.	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/236236LP	Anywhere	2900/2720	+25-31/+27-30	Universal level 1 ender. Frame advantage varies slightly depending on when 236236MP/236236LP is performed. Use 236236LP if 63214PP connects near max range.	WIP
...63214PP, 5HK > 236236HP	Close	3232	+34	Higher damage level 1 ender, but requires the opponent to be close or else 236236HP will whiff.	Link
...63214PP > 214214HK	Anywhere	3600	+58	Level 2 ender that can be done anywhere but requires Drive Gauge. Expensive with similar damage to a level 1 ender, so not too useful. It does carry the opponent quite far and is very plus, however. Does more damage than 63214KK version but is 18 frames instead of 12 frames.	WIP

Drive Rush

Ender	Position	Damage	Advantage	Notes	Video
...DR~4MK > 63214HK/63214HP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1800 / Variable	+42 / +45 / Variable	Follow-ups from Drive Rush 4MK.	WIP
...DR~4MK, 4MK > 63214HK/63214MP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Close	2160 / 1920 / Variable	+42 / +33 / Variable	A bit more damage than the above ender, but has to be done closer and can't go into 63214HP.	WIP
...DR~1HP > 63214HK/63214HP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	2000 / Variable	+42 / +45 / Variable	Follow-ups from Drive Rush 1HP.	WIP
...DR~1HP, 4MK > 63214HK/63214MP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Close	2360 / 2120 / Variable	+42 / +33 / Variable	A bit more damage than the above ender, but has to be done closer and can't go into 63214HP.	WIP

Links and Starters

Notes:

• Any combo ender that leaves you +40 or higher will leave you plus if you teleport 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.

Normal Hit

Light Confirm Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
2LP/5LK > 236HP/236MPHP	Anywhere	~1050/1370	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. Ending with 236HP leaves you ~ -2, whereas ending with the OD version (236MPHP) knocks down (~ +49). Frame advantage changes slightly based on spacing.	Link
5LP/2LP/1LK, 2LP > 63214HK	Anywhere	~1530	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.	Link
2LP > 236236MP	Anywhere	WIP	Easy	Level 1 ender without spending Drive Gauge.	WIP
2LP/5LK > 236236K	Anywhere	~3770	Easy	Level 3 ender without spending Drive Gauge. Overall best light confirm route into level 3 - 63214HK ender requires the opponent to be standing, and DR~5LP... ender costs 3 bars of Drive Gauge along with dealing nearly identical damage to this combo.	WIP
5LK > 63214LP	Anywhere	1020	Easy	Has to be done somewhat close so that 63214LP can reach.	Link
5LP/2LP/5LK > DR~5LP, 4MP > 63214HK/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	~1799/Variable	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. Up to three 2LPs can be linked to start this combo if done at point blank range. See "Combo Enders" section for follow-ups.	Link

Medium Confirm Combos

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. Ending with 236HP leaves you ~ -2, whereas ending with the OD version (236MPHP) knocks down (~ +49). Frame advantage changes slightly based on spacing.	Link
2MP > 63214LP/63214PP.../DR~4MK...	Anywhere	1400/Variable	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.	Link
2MP > 236236LP	Anywhere	WIP	Easy	Level 1 ender without spending Drive Gauge.	WIP
4MP > 63214HK/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1900/Variable	Easy	4MP follow-ups.	WIP
4MK > 63214HK/63214MP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1800/1500/Variable	Easy	4MK follow-ups.	WIP
1MK > 63214HK/63214LP/63214PP.../DR~4MK...	Anywhere	1460/WIP/Variable	Easy	1MK follow-ups.	WIP
2MK, 2LP...	Anywhere	Variable	Medium	Easier, but less rewarding link from slide. Can be ended with any applicable light ender. 5LP will whiff if slide was done from far away enough, so it's better to opt for 2LP for the range.	WIP
2MK, 1MK...	Anywhere	Variable	Hard	Harder, but more rewarding link from slide. Has to hit the opponent at max range slide to work. See 1MK follow-ups above.	WIP

Heavy Confirm Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
1HP > 63214MP/63214HP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1700/2000/Variable	Easy	If 1HP hits at further ranges then you'll have to do 63214MP.	WIP
5HK > DR~1HP...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy		WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HK (close), 4MK...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy	Confirm from j.HK at Yoga Float height while close.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HK (further), 1HP...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy	Confirm from j.HK at Yoga Float height from further, where it connects a bit later into its active frames.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HP (close), 1HP...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy	Confirm from j.HP at Yoga Float height while close.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HP (further), 2MP...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy	Confirm from j.HP at Yoga Float height from further.	WIP

Anti-Air Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Advantage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
(Yoga Arch Connects), 5HK/2HK/5HP	Anywhere	1400/1500/1600	+41/32/6	Very Easy	Meterless combo from Yoga Arch.	WIP
(Yoga Arch Connects), DR~4MP > 63214HP	Anywhere	WIP	WIP	Medium		WIP
(Yoga Arch Connects), DR~4MP > 63214PP, 2HK/236236MP/236236HP	Anywhere	WIP	WIP	Medium	One hit of 63214PP will whiff. 236236MP does slightly more damage than 236236HP but requires being closer and is overall less consistent.	WIP
(Yoga Arch Connects), DR~4MP > 63214KK > 214214HK	Anywhere	WIP	WIP	Medium	Level 2 ender	WIP

Counter Hit Combos

Regular Hit

Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
(Instant Air Yoga Float) j.MP, 236236MP/236236LP	Anywhere	WIP/WIP	Easy	Use 236236LP if j.MP connects at max range, otherwise use 236236MP for more damage.	WIP

Punish Counter Combos

Regular Hit

Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
5LP, 4MP > 63214HK/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	1950/Variable	Easy	+4f punish combo. Starting with 2LP is pointless since the rest of the combo will whiff when started outside of 5LP range anyway.	WIP
4MK, 4MK > 63214HK/63214MP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	WIP/WIP/Variable	Easy	+7f punish combo.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.MP, 2MP...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy	Usually done when punishing a close fireball.	WIP
1HP, 4MK > 63214HK/63214MP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	WIP/WIP/Variable	Easy	+10f punish combo. Same link as above but with 1HP starter.	WIP
5HK, 1HP/4HP > 63214HP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	2720/2820	Easy	+17f punish combo. Cancel into Drive Rush to link the 1HP/4HP if further away. Use 4HP for a bit more damage if really close to opponent.	WIP
5HK > DR~2MP > 63214MP/236236LP	Anywhere	2082/WIP	Easy	Further range variant of the above combo.	WIP
5HK, 5HK...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy	Link into a second 5HK, which can lead into whatever.	WIP
DR~5HK > 6PPP, 5LP > 2LP...	Anywhere	WIP + Ender	Easy	Side switch teleport combo. Can be ended with any applicable light ender.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HK, 1HP > 63214HK/63214HP/63214PP.../DR~1HP...	Anywhere	2440/Variable	Easy	Yoga Float punish combo. Typically used to punish a whiffed throw.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.MP, 236236LP	Anywhere	WIP	Easy	Punish combo from j.MP, usually done to punish a close fireball.	WIP
