Connectors

• : Used between two other pieces of notation to signify that they should be performed at the same time. i.e. "X" "Y", "X" should be performed at the same time as "Y".

e.g. F MP

• -> (Sometimes >): Indicates the next part of a sequence. i.e. "X" -> "Y" -> "Z", After "X" is performed, "Y" should follow, then "Z".

e.g. F -> Fierce Shoryuken

• x: Used between two other pieces of notation to signify that the first should be cancelled (interuppted earlier than it would finish otherwise) into the second. i.e. "X" x "Y", "X" should be cancelled into "Y".

e.g. MP x Fierce Shoryuken

• ~: Indicates that the preceeding action should link (immediately follow with) into the next action. i.e. "X" ~ "Y", "X" should be followed immediately by "Y"

e.g. LK ~ MP ~ HP

• /: Used to show when two or more options are available at that point in a sequence, invariably to show that they both produce similar if not identical results.
