Game Mechanics

Notations

Directions

Up/back = u/b.

Up = u.

Jumping = j. Up/forward = u/f. Forward = f. Down/forward = d/f. Down = d. Crouching = c. Down/back = d/b. Back = b. Standing: Neutral = s.

You'll notice there's full stops on the end of them, we use these to seperate the directions from the action buttons when writing combos.

Buttons

Light Punch/Jab = lp Medium Punch/Strong = mp Heavy Punch/Fierce = hp Light Kick/Short = lk Medium Kick/Forward = mk Heavy Kick/Roundhouse = hk

We also use commas to break apart the action buttons. Using a simple combo as an example, Jumping Roundhouse, Crouching Roundhouse, would be written like this: j.hk, c.hk.

Special and Super Motions

Quater Circle Forward = qcf + Half Circle Forward = hcf + Quater Circle Back = qcb + Half Circle Back = hcb + Dragon Punch/Zig Zag = dp + Reverse Dragon Punch/Zig = Zag = rdp + Charge Back, Forward = b, f + Charge Down, Up = d, u + Full Circle = 360 +

Double Quater Circle Farward = qcfx2 + Double Half Circle Forward = hcfx2 + Double Quater Circle Back = qcbx2 + Double Half Circle Back = hcbx2 + Charge Back, Forward Back, Forward = b, f, b, f + Carge Down/Back, Down/forward, Down/Back, Up/Forward = d/b, d/f, d/b, u/f + Double Full Circle = 720 +

When using Special and Super moves aswell we use plus signs to indacate the press of the following button at the end of the specific motion.

Advanced

Cancel = x Super Cancel = XX Link = ->(?) Super Jump Cancel = (SJC)

If we where to take the previous combo and change it slightly, Jumping Heavy Kick, Crouching Forward, Hadoken, it would look like this: j.hk, c.mk x qcf + hp since we're "Canceling" Crouching Forward with Hadoken.

Tier list

Please note: Tiers are HIGHLY debatable so all lists should be taken with a grain of salt. If a character is only a place or two away from where they "should" be, please refrain from wildly editing this section.

Top Tier:

Yun
Chun-Li
Ken
Makoto (ARGUABLY -- she is said to be considered top tier in Japan, but non-Japanese players generally argue that her playstyle is too unpredictable and inconsistent to be top tier)

Upper Tier:

Yang
Dudley
Akuma
Urien (Urien is considered dead even with Ryu in terms of matchups in Japan)

Middle Tier:

Ryu
Oro
Elena
Ibuki
Alex

Low Tier:

Necro
Remy
Sean
Hugo
Twelve
Q
