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)

Day 1 Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive	Difficulty	Notes
5LP~2LP~2LP>236MK	Anywhere	1510	0	Easy	A simple light confirm. Sobat (236MK) gives meaty pressure afterwards, but is punishable on block if not spaced correctly.
5LP~2LP~2LP>[2]8HK	Anywhere	1720	0	Easy	Jackknife Maximum ([2]8HK), a.k.a "Up Kicks", whiffs on crouching opponents and is extremely unsafe if blocked; hit confirming required.
j.2K,2LK~2LP>236MK	Anywhere	1440	0	Easy	Simple combo starting with j.2LK jump-in
5MP~5HP~5HK	Anywhere	1580	0	Very Easy	Target Combo starting with Dee Jay's 5MP. The last hit can be canceled into level 1 Super.
5MP, 5LK>236MK/236HK	Anywhere	1700/2020	0	Easy	MK Sobat gives knockdown while HK Sobat does more damage, is +2 on hit, and leaves both players standing in throw range.
5MK,2MP>236HK	Anywhere	2320	0	Medium
j.HP, 2HP, 2MP>[2]8HK/214LP	Anywhere	2990/3235	0	Easy	Basic jump-in combo. 2HP forces Stand on hit, ensuring HK Up Kicks combos.
j.HP, 2HP, 2MP>[2]8MK, [2]8HK	Corner	3510	0	Medium	Corner version only. MK Up Kicks allows HK Up Kicks to juggle afterwards.
Drive Impact, dl.5HP>214HP	Anywhere	2860	1	Easy	Make sure you're close enough to cancel the early active frames of 5HP.

Combo Theory

It's pretty simple for Dee Jay to string together short combos. His 2LP, 5LP, and 5LK can all combo into MK Rolling Sobat (236MK), giving him easy access to knockdown pressure. 5LK and 2MP can also combo into HK Rolling Sobat (236HK), which does not knockdown but leaves you at +2 and in throw range.

To get more out of your combos, look to hit them with Dee Jay's highest damage special move: Machine Gun Upper (214P).

2MP can combo into 214LP
5HP and the first hit of 4HK(1) can combo into 214MP
Drive Rush/Punish Counter 5HP and 4HK(1) can combo into 214P and 214PP

Extending Combos

Besides using Drive Rush to extend combos on grounded opponents, Dee Jay has the option to use OD Jus Cool (214KK) and its follow-up Maximum Strike (214K~HK) to launch the opponent high into the air. All of his special-cancelable normals can combo into 214KK, but the move is a bit stubby and tends to whiff if you are not very close to your opponent.

Normals That Combo Into OD Jus Cool
Normal	Tendency To Whiff	Notes
5LP	High	You need to be in your opponent's face - chaining two 5LPs is enough to push you out of range.
2LP	High	You need to be in your opponent's face - chaining two 2LPs is enough to push you out of range.
5LK	Medium	Fairly reliable, but can whiff when 5LK connects at its farther ranges.
2MP	Low	Reliably combos into OD Jus Cool. Can still whiff when 2MP connects at tip ranges.
4HK	Very Low	Very reliable.
5HP (early hit)	Medium	Up close OD Jus Cool will never whiff, but 5HP is a very useful for whiff punishing which creates opportunities for Just Cool to drop.

Just find a way to land one of these normals at the correct range, like doing Drive Rush 5MP for exmaple, and you're good to go.

example using 2MP

Drive Rush~5MP,2MP>214KK~HK, ...

Ending Combos

Now that you've launched your opponent into the air, it's time to pick a Combo Ender. The main Combos Enders are either:

HK Rolling Sobat (236HK) - for wall carry
HP Machine Gun Upper (214HP) - for damage

Rolling Sobat

... 214KK~HK, 236HK

Rolling Sobat (236HK) gives better wall carry and doesn't require any additional Drive Gauge to combo into.

Machine Gun Upper

... 214KK~HK, Drive Rush 5HP/4HK>214HP>214214P

Machine Gun Upper (214HP) is Dee Jay's highest damage meterless Combo Ender, and can be canceled into his Level 2 or 3 Super for even more damage. Drive Rush is required after OD Jus Cool in order to land any version of Machine Gun Upper when not in the corner.

Jackknife Maximum ([2]8HK), a.k.a "Up Kicks", is more damaging but whiffs on crouching opponents and is extremely unsafe if blocked; Hit confirming required.

2LK/5LP~2LP>236MK>214214P	Anywhere	3670	Medium	light confirm into level 3 Super.
