Combos

Combo Notation Help
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so the actual notation used in pages can differ from the standard one. For more information, see Glossary and Controls.
X > Y	X input is cancelled into Y.
X > delay Y	Must wait for a short period before cancelling X input into Y.
X, Y	X input is linked into Y, meaning Y is done after X's recovery period.
X+Y	Buttons X and Y must be input simultaneously.
X/Y	Either the X or Y input can be used.
X~Y	This notation has two meanings. Use attack X with Y follow-up input. Input X then within a few frames, input Y. Usually used for option selects.
X(w)	X input must not hit the opponent (Whiff).
j.X	X input is done in the air, implies a jump/jump cancel if the previous move was done from the ground. Applies to all air chain sections: Assume a forward jump cancel if no direction is given. Air chains such as j.A > j.B > j.C can be shortened to j.ABC.
sj.X	X input is done after a super jump. Notated as sj8.X and sj9.X for neutral and forward super jumps respectively.
dj.X	X input is done after a double jump.
sdj.X	X input is done after a double super jump.
tk.X	Stands for Tiger Knee. X motion must be buffered before jumping, inputting the move as close to the ground as possible. (ex. tk.236A)
(X)	X is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted.
[X]	Input X is held down. Also referred to as Blowback Edge (BE). Depending on the character, this can indicate that this button is held down and not released until indicated by the release notation.
]X[	Input X is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down. This type of input is referred to as Negative Edge.
{X}	Button X should only be held down briefly to get a partially charged version instead of the fully charged one.
X(N)	Attack "X" should only hit N times.
(XYZ)xN	XYZ string must be performed N times. Combos using this notation are usually referred to as loops.
(XYZ^)	A pre-existing combo labelled XYZ is inserted here for shortening purposes.
CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit.
Air CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit on an airborne opponent.
66	Performs a ground forward dash.
j.66	Performs an aerial forward dash, used as a cancel for certain characters' air strings.
IAD/IABD	Performs an Instant AirDash.
AT	Performs an Air Throw. (j.6/4A+D)
IH	Performs an Initiative Heat.
AD	Performs an Arc Drive.
AAD	Performs an Another Arc Drive.

Starter

Condition Notation Damage vs V.Sion Notes
Normal starter, grounded opponent (2A >) 5B > 2B > 6C > Ender #1/2 2604 Meter Gained: 32.2% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 10.7% Basic starter.
Normal starter, grounded opponent (2A >) 5B > 2B > (5C >) Ender #3 2550 Meter Gained: 28.6% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 9.5%% This is for when 2B pushes you too far away for the above combo to hit or you just want . 5C will whiff from 2B if you are far enough away so if you aren't sure if it will connect just go into 623C.

Enders

Condition Notation Damage vs V.Sion Notes
Ender #1 j.BC > dj.AAAAC > AT 3417 Meter Gained: 29.7% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 9.9% The easier aerial ender that you have. Less corner carry, less damage, less meter gain but it will do the job.
Ender #2 j.[C] > dj.[C] > land 66 > 5C, j.ABC > dj.ABC > AT 4625 Meter Gained: 57.6% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 19.2% The harder ender you have but it is definitely worth it to learn.
Ender #3 100 Meter 623C 3409 Meter Gained: -100% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 11.1% This ender gives hard knockdown or an otg combo as well as a lot of damage for minimal effort.

OTG Pick ups

Condition Notation Damage vs V.Sion Notes
After Ender #3 2AA > 5B > 2B 3851 Meter Gained: 8.7% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 6.7% The damage here includes the 623C. The second hit of 2B will whiff midscreen.

Normal Combos

Condition Notation Damage vs V.Sion Notes
Normal starter, grounded opponent (2A >) 5B > 2B > 2C > 6C > j.BC > dj.AAAAC > AT 4232 Meter Gained: 61.9% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 20.6% Basic bnb. If the 2B will push you too far out (which it often will) only hit with the 1st hit of 2B. You could replace the dj.AAAAC with dj.ABC or dj.AAAC if you want but it will lead to less damage.
Normal starter, grounded opponent (2A >) 5B > 2B > 2C > 6C > j.[C] > dj.[C] > land 66 > 5C, j.ABC > dj.ABC > AT 4664 Meter Gained: 89.8% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 29.9% This is the harder combo but it is better in almost every way to the above one. The hardest part about it is the 5C, j.A link but after some practice you will be able to get it down consistently. This combo gives full corner carry.
Normal starter, grounded opponent, 100 Meter (2A >) 5B > 2B > (5C >) 623C 4390 Meter Gained: -100% +28.6% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 20.6% This ender gives hard knockdown or an otg combo as well as a lot of damage for minimal effort.
214B starter, grounded opponent 214B > j.BC > dj.BC > AT 4358 Meter Gained: 32.4% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 10.8% You most likely will be getting a combo like this if neco hits.
214B starter, grounded opponent 214B > j.[C] > j.[C] > land 66 > 5C, j.ABC > dj.ABC > AT 5379 Meter Gained: 66.6% Meter Given (vs C-Moon): 22.2% Very unlikely to hit a j.[C] off of neco hitting but if you do this is the combo to go for.

Move Descriptions

Frame Data Help
Header	Tooltip
Move Box Colors	Light gray = Collision Box (A move lacking one means it can go through the opponent's own collision box). Green: Hurt Boxes. Red: Hit(/Grab) Boxes. Yellow: Clash Boxes (When an active hitbox strikes a clash box, the active hitbox stops being active. Multi-hit attacks can beat clash since they will still progress to the next hitbox.) Magenta: Projectile-reflecting boxes OR Non-hit attack trigger boxes (usually). Blue: Reflectable Projectile Boxes.
Damage	Base damage done by this attack. (X) denotes combined and scaled damage tested against standing V. Sion.
Red Damage	Damage done to the recoverable red health bar by this attack. The values are inherently scaled and tested against standing V. Sion. (X) denotes combined damage.
Proration	The correction value set by this attack and the way it modifies the scaling during a string. See this page for more details. X% (O) means X% Overrides the previous correction value in a combo if X is of a lower percentage. X% (M) means the current correction value in a combo will be Multiplied by X%. This can also be referred to as relative proration.
Circuit	Meter gained by this attack on hit. (X%) denotes combined meter gain. -X% denotes a meter cost.
Cancel	Actions this move can be cancelled into. SE = Self cancelable. N = Normal cancelable. SP = Special cancelable. CH = Cancelable into the next part of the same attack (Chain in case of specials). EX = EX cancelable. J = Jump cancelable. (X) = Cancelable only on hit. -X- = Cancelable on whiff.
Guard	The way this move must be blocked. L = Can block crouching H = Can block standing. A = Can block in the air. U = Unblockable.
Startup	Amount of frames that must pass prior to reaching the active frames. Also referred to as "True Startup".
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish. X denotes active frames with a duration separate from its origin move's frame data, such as projectile attacks. In this case, the total length of the move is startup+recovery only.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled. The character goes into one frame where they can block but not act afterwards, which is not counted here.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup that is at least 2 frames less than this move's negative advantage, it will result in the opponent hitting that move. ±x~±y denotes a range of possible advantages.
Invul	Lists any defensive properties this move has. X y~z denotes X property happening between the y to z frames of the animations. If no frames are noted, it means the invincibility lasts through the entire move. Invicibility: Strike = Strike invincible. Throw = Throw invincible. Hurtbox-Based Properties: Full = No hurtboxes are present. High = Upper body lacks a hurtbox. Low = Lower body lacks a hurtbox. Miscellaneous Properties Clash = Frames in which clash boxes are active. Reflect = Frames in which projectile-reflecting boxes are active. Super Armor = Frames in which the character can take hits without going into hit stun.
