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)

Normal Hit Meterless

Light Confirm Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes
2LP, 214LK, > 623MP	Anywhere	1970	Medium	C.lp is plus enough to allow linking into lk tatsu, which itself enables numerous combos.
2LK ~ 2LP ~ 5LP > 623HP 2LP ~ 2LK ~ 5LP > 623HP 5LP ~ 5LP ~ 5LP > 623HP	Anywhere	1690/1690/1790	Very Easy	Pressure String, and a Confirm String in one.
2LP ~ 2LP ~ 5LK > 623HP	Anywhere	1790	Easy	Far light confirm, use 1 less 2LP if farther away.
2LP, 5MP ~ 5HP > KK > 623K, 623HP	Anywhere	2440	Medium	Close up midscreen 5MP Link. Maximum damage and side switches.
2LP, 5MP ~ 5HP > KK > 214K	Anywhere	1640	Easy	Close up midscreen 5MP link. Corner carry.
2LP, 5MP > 214LK, 623MP	Anywhere	2130	Easy	Close up midscreen 5MP link. Compromise of Damage and Corner Carry with no side swap.
2LP, 5MP ~ 5HP > 236MK > dl.6HK, 623HP	Corner	2480	Medium	Close up corner 5MP link. Does more damage than a Jinrai Loop but less stylish.

Heavy Confirm Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes
5HP > 623HP	Anywhere	2200	Easy	Stand HP easier confirm. Combo should be relatively easy, confirming it is harder. If unsure, cancel into MK Jinrai Kicks for safety.
5HP > KK > 623P	Anywhere	2500	Medium	Stand HP harder confirm. Higher damage, better corner carry but harder to confirm.
j.HP, 2HP > 214LK > 623MP	Anywhere	3070	Easy	Max damage Jump-in midscreen.
j.HP, 2HP > 236HK > dl.6LK, 236LK > 6LK, 623HP	Corner	3430	Hard	Max damage Jump-in corner.

Punish Counter Hit Meterless

Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes
2LP, 2HP > KK > 623P	Anywhere	2440	Hard	4f Punish Counter with Ken's run ender. 2LP can be switched with 5LP for additional range all KK > enders can be used; KK > 214K for corner carry, KK > 623P for damage, and KK > 623K > 623HP for a sideswitch.
2LP, 2HP > 214LK, 623MP	Anywhere	2550	Hard	Max damage 4f Punish Counter
623HK, 2LP, 5MP ~ 5HP > KK > 623P	Anywhere	2720	Medium	Long range punish counter confirm. The ender can be substituted for KK > 214K/623K.
KK > 214K, 2MP > 214LK, 623MP	Anywhere	3405	Medium	Another long range punish counter confirm. You could alternatively do 5MP ~ 5HP > Run 623P/214K/623K after 214K.
5HK, KK > 623P	Anywhere	2150	Easy	The timing can be a bit tricky due to 5HK's recovery and the need to cancel KK into 623P fairly early.

Jinrai Loops

Welcome to the slippery slope
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes
5MP ~ 5HP > 236LK > dl.6LK, 236LK > 6LK, 623HP	Anywhere	2330	Hard	Only optimal after a long combo if done from a Stand MP Target Combo. But are optimal after a Crouch HP.
