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)

Jinrai Loops

Welcome to the slippery slope

Dragonlash Loops

The slope opens to the sheer rock of tech

(5HP > 623MK, 2LP, 5MP > DRC)x2, 5HP > 623MK, 2LP, 5MP~HP > KK~623K, 236236P	Anywhere	5511	6	3	[4] Hard	ONLY OFF A COUNTER, PUNISH COUNTER, OR STRAY DRIVE RUSH 5HP ON A CROUCHING OPPONENT! This is a flashy and damaging combo that can almost go corner to corner. It is very easy to stop early if you don't want to burn out.
(5HP > 623MK, 2LP, 5MP > DRC)x2, 5HP > 623MK, 2LP, 5MP~HP > 236LK~dl.6LK, 236LK~6HK > 236236P	Corner	5599	6	3	[4] Hard	Loopception. As with all Dragonlash combos, they must be crouching. This keeps the corner and does 88 more damage for a much tighter ender. Will you fight? Or will you perish like a dog?
