(N) = Multi-hit move hits only N times. May be omitted if all hits are used. xN = Normal that chains into itself pressed N times. May be omitted if all hits are used. [X] = Hold down X ]X[ = Release X X~Y = X then Y done in quick succession X/Y = X or Y !X = X triggers a burst OTG = Following move hits off the ground, after a red bounce CH = Counter hit fastfall = Cancelling an air normal into another move to change momentum and land early. The second move doesn't hit, it gets canceled when landing. Example: Double jHP(1) > jHK lets Double land from the multi-hit jHP early. sj = Super jump dj = Double jump jc = Jump cancel ADC = Airdash cancel IAD = Instant airdash TK = Tiger knee (doing an air move the moment a jump sends you airborne, typically by inputting a special move motion followed by jump+button. Example: 2147LK for TK Airball)
