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)

Links and Starters

Notes:

• Any combo ender that leaves you +40 or higher will leave you plus if you instantly 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.
• 1HK can be linked after any combo ending with 63214HK in the corner.

Normal Hit

Light Confirm Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Advantage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
2LP/5LK > 236HP/236MPHP	Anywhere	~1050/1370	~ -2/+49	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 (> 236236K)	Anywhere	~1530/3930	+42/19	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. It's not worth spending meter on 63214KK - just use the above combo if you want to spend meter.	Link
5LK > 63214LP	Anywhere	1020	+33	Easy	Has to be done somewhat close so that 63214LP can reach.	Link
5LP/2LP/5LK > DR~5LP/2LP, 4MP > 63214HK (> 236236K)	Anywhere	~1799/3799	+42/19	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.	Link
5LP/2LP/5LK > DR~5LP/2LP, 4MP > 63214PP, 2MK/2HK/236236MP	Anywhere	~1805/1973/2471	+11/33/31	Medium	Same as above but with OD ender (63214PP) , which leads into slides or any super. 2MK leads into a reset, while 2HK gives better damage and a knockdown. 236236K ender will do slightly less damage than the above combo if you start with more than one light, but will deal slightly more if you do start with one light (so not really worth doing).	Link
5LP/2LP/5LK > DR~5LP/2LP, 4MP > 63214PP, 5HK (> 236236HP)	Anywhere	1931/2615	+39/34	Medium	5HK ender does slightly less damage but leaves the opponent further away compared to 2HK ender in above combo. Does a bit more damage than 236236MP ender in above combo, but 236236HP will whiff if the combo was started with more than two jabs or if 5LK connected from too far away.	Link
5LP/2LP/5LK > DR~5LP/2LP, 4MP > 63214KK > 214214HK	Anywhere	~2873	~ +56	Medium	Same as 5th combo but with Level 2 ender (214214HK), which requires a cancel instead of a link and can be canceled from OD Blast (63214KK) instead of OD Flame (63214PP) for slightly more damage. Frame advantage seems somewhat variable depending on when you do it, but is still quite plus. Doesn't do much more damage than the 5th combo with Level 1 ender (236236MP), but leaves you plus enough for a teleport mixup and has good corner carry.	Link

Medium Confirm Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Advantage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
2MP > 236HP/236MPHP	Anywhere	1200/1600	~ -2/+49	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	Anywhere	1400	+33	Easy	More damage and knockdown than 236HP ender in above combo but has to be done slightly closer or else 63214LP will whiff.	Link
2MP > DR~4MK > 63214HK (>236236K)	Anywhere	1926/3960	+42/19	Medium	2MP has to connect closer than with the 63214HP ender.	WIP
2MP > DR~4MK > 63214HP	Anywhere	1926	~ +45	Medium	Main combo from 2MP. Tricky (but possible) to get 4MK after a nearly max range 2MP.	Link
2MP > DR~4MK > 63214PP, 2HK/236236MP/214214HK/236236K	Anywhere	WIP	+19/31/33/59	Medium	Same as above but with OD ender (63214PP) , which leads into sweep or any super. 2MP has to be done fairly close or else 236236K will whiff.	WIP
2MP > DR~4MK > 63214PP, 5HK (, 236236HP)	Anywhere	2126/3158	+39/34	Medium	Does a bit more damage than 236236MP ender in the above combo, but 2MP has to be done decently close or else 236236HP will whiff.	WIP
2MP > DR~4MK, 4MK > 63214HK (> 236236K)	Anywhere	WIP	+42	Medium	Stricter range requirement than 63214MP combo below.	WIP
2MP > DR~4MK, 4MK > 63214MP	Anywhere	2048	+33	Medium	Higher damage but stricter range requirement than the above combo. Also loses out on teleport mixup afterward since 63214MP only leaves you +33.	Link
4MP/1MK > 63214HK	Anywhere	1400	+42	Easy	More damage and knockdown but will whiff when outside of 63214LP range.	WIP
4MK > 63214MP	Anywhere	1500	+33	Easy		WIP
1MK > 63214LP	Anywhere	WIP	+33	Easy	Meterless knockdown from a low.	WIP
2MK, 1MK > 63214HK	Anywhere	1740	+42	Hard	Has to hit the opponent at max range slide to work.	WIP
j.MK, 4MK > 63214HK	Anywhere	1820	+42	Medium	Done when very close to the ground, like after falling from an air teleport. Can also be started with j.MP for less damage.	WIP

Heavy Confirm Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Advantage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
(j.HP/j.HK), 1HP > 63214HP	Anywhere	2000/2280	+45	Easy	If 1HP hits at further ranges then you'll have to do 63214MP.	WIP

Anti-Air Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Advantage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
(Yoga Arch Connects), 5HK/2HK/5HP	Anywhere	1400/1500/1600	+41/32/6	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

Punish Counter Combos

Regular Hit

Combo	Position	Damage	Advantage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
5LP, 4MP > 63214HK	Anywhere	1950	+42	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 > 63214MP/63214HK	Anywhere	2040/2280	+33/42	Easy	+7f punish combo. 63214HK does more damage and grants more plus frames but requires the opponent to be standing.	WIP
1HP, 4MK > 63214MP/63214HK	Anywhere	2280/2520	+33/42	Easy	+10f punish combo. 63214HK does more damage and grants more plus frames but requires the opponent to be standing.	WIP
5HK, (DR~)1HP/4HP > 63214HP	Anywhere	2720/2820	+45	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	Anywhere	2082	+33	Easy	Further range variant of the above combo.	WIP
(Instant Air Yoga Float), j.HK, 1HP > 63214HP	Anywhere	2440	+45	Easy	Yoga Float punish combo. Typically used to punish a whiffed throw.	WIP

Drive Impact

Combo	Position	Damage	Advantage	Difficulty	Notes	Video
DI, 4HP > 63214HP	Anywhere	2520	+45	Very Easy		WIP
DI, 4HP > 63214HK > 236236K	Anywhere	4520	+42	Easy	Level 3 ender without spending Drive Gauge. If not using super, it's better to use the above combo instead since it gives 3 extra frames of advantage and the same damage.	WIP
DI, 4HP > 63214HK, 214214K	Corner	4200	WIP	Easy	Level 2 ender. Corner only.	WIP
DI, 4HP > 63214PP, 2HK/236236MP	Anywhere	2780/3500	WIP	Easy	You can also do 236236HP super for slightly less damage.	WIP
