The Basics

Notation

Here you'll find a guide to the various notation you may encounter. Typically the game specific strategy pages will include all relevant notion in an icon format but for general text related discussion the following may prove useful.

Joystick Notation

Often a numbering system is used to discuss joystick positions. Below is a guide explaining how this notation works. 

                   .- up (u)
                   |
  up+back (ub) - 7 8 9 - up+forward (uf)

      back (b) - 4   6 - forward (f)

down+back (db) - 1 2 3 - down+foward (df)
                   |
                   `- down (d)

Note: These numbers can be easily referenced by looking at your keyboard "numpad". Think of it as a joystick/controller that is facing to the right. "5" is used to signify "neutral".

xx  - cancel; always placed between two actions
      (e.g. c.MK xx QCF+P = Cancel c.MK into QCF+P)
->  - chain; always placed between two actions
      (e.g. s.LP -> s.MP = Chain s.LP into s.MP)
/\  - jump; clarifies transition from ground to air actions
      (e.g. c.HP /\ j.LP = Jump-cancel c.HP into j.LP)
\/  - land; clarifies transition from air to ground actions 
      (e.g. j.HP \/ s.LP = Follow j.HP with s.LP)
