Chained Normals are denoted by an angled bracket ">" between hits --If part of an Autocombo, include this info; e.g. 5LP > 5HP (Autocombo) Rapid Fire Normals are denoted by a multiplier 'x' --Ex: 2LP x3 Special/Super cancels are denoted by 'xx' --Ex: 2HK xx 236HP Links are denoted by a comma --Ex: 5LK, dash 2LK [Square brackets] can mean different things depending on context: --A sequence that must be repeatedly looped: [2LP, dash 2LP] = dash 2LP infinite --Part of a combo that is only possible under certain circumstances, like a juggle ender that only works in the corner --An optional attack that may be added for more damage; i.e. 2LK2LP [cl.5HP], where cl.5HP can add damage vs. standing opponents
Damage
The amount of damage a move does. May be listed in a few ways: 100% = The combo is a Touch of Death (stuns or kills outright) varies = The possible damage changes significantly based on various factors x% = Percent of health bar depleted when used against a full-health Jackie Chan character (unless character specific) --Because of the way damage scaling and Defense Values work in Fists of Fire, using 'Base Damage' for combos is not very useful --Damage variation between opponents is minimal, generally within a 1% range
Location
Where on the screen the combo can be performed Anywhere = The combo is not affected by screen position Corner = The combo must be performed in the corner, or started close enough to the corner for a particular link/juggle to work --May list qualifiers like 'Near Corner' or 'Midscreen to Corner' to specify ranges that the combo can be used Midscreen = The combo must not be performed on a fully cornered opponent
Character Specific
The characters that a combo can be performed on Universal = No character restrictions May list qualifiers like 'Standing', 'Crouching', or 'Everyone except (character)' If an asterisk (*) appears next to a character's name, check Notes for specific conditions that may apply to that character.
Notes
Extra relevant information about the combo that may not easily be explained in the original notation May include slight variations to the combo that are not important enough to warrant their own entry.
Video
A link to the combo being performed. If part of a larger video, include the timestamp.

2LK x5 xx 46LK
28%
Anywhere
Everyone but crouching Sam
Simple, reliable hitconfirm
Sam's crouching hurtbox shrinks when he takes damage, so always try to combo into 28K against him
vs. Kim & Drunk/Admiral Jackie, use 2LK x2; any more will cause most of 28LK to whiff, lowering damage and weakening the mixup
If you cross under the opponent before 2HP, opponent will be backturned after the juggle, allowing for a strong 2LK/Throw mixup that can't be backdashed
For a left/right mixup, Thorsten must stay on the same side and be close to the corner after the second juggle
Numbers in (parentheses) indicate a partial connect 28LK. This will do way less damage but still allows a followup juggle. Partial connect 28HK has too much recovery to juggle afterward.
