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)

Bread N' Butter Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
j.HP, 5HK, 5MP~HP > 214HP (> 236236P)	Anywhere	2910/4910	-	(3)	Easy	Basic Jump-In combo. 214HP is your go-to ender for a good knockdown and safe jump. 236236P will always combo after any 214P.
2LP/5LP 5LP (5LP) > 214MP	Anywhere	1440	-	-	Very Easy	Knockdowns from Pressure. Ed's 2LP isn't special cancellable and his 5LP has somewhat short reach. Recognizing spacing is important for his confirms.
PC 5HK, 5HP > KK~dl.6P > 214HP / 623HP	Anywhere	3010/3080	-	-	Medium	Punish combo for DPs and Supers. Exclude 'KK~dl.6P' for an easier combo.
236[LK] / 236[MK], 623LP, 214HP	Anywhere	2380	-	-	Easy	Charged Flicker combo. If opponent is too far away for 623LP, finish the combo with 623HP, then dash in with KK for Oki.
PC DI, 5HK, 5MP~HP > 214HP	Anywhere	2700	-	-	Easy	Jump-in combo works just as well here.
[5HP], 5HK, 5MP~HP > 236HK, 214MP	Corner	3090	-	-	Easy	Stun Combo. Easy Safe Jump after, or meaty 236P by whiffing 5LK first which beats wake-up Level 1. Optional Level 1 after 236HK.
DI (Blocked), HP > 236HK, 214HP	Corner	1984	-	-	Easy	Basic wallsplat combo. Simple enough.
DI (Blocked), 5MP~HP > 236HK, 623LP, 214MP / 214HP	Corner	2032	-	-	Medium	Optimal wallsplat combo. 214MP gives a safe-jump, 214HP gives slightly higher damage (If DI isn't blocked, can end with 623HP for more damage).

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes	Video
j.MK, 2MK > KK~dl.6P > 214HP / 623HP	Anywhere	2550/2620	-	-	Hard	Max-range jump-in combo from the farther-reaching j.MK.
PC DI, 66, dl.5HP > 236[LK], 214HP / 623HP	Anywhere	2794/2840	-	-	Very Hard	Much harder DI combo for a small damage increase. Must release 236[LK] the moment it's charged. Only for the brave.

j.HP, 5HK, 5MP~HP > 236KK, (214HP / KK ~ 6P, 236236K)	Anywhere	3344/3770	2	(1)	Easy	Metered Jump-In combo. 214HP is your go-to ender for a good knockdown and safe jump. Level 1 extension available for extra corner carry.
j.HP, 5HP > 236KK, 236KK, 623LP, 214LP	Anywhere	3710	4	-	Easy	Pricey Jump-In combo. Safe jump in the corner.

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes	Video
...236KK, 236LP ~ 6P, DR ~ 5HP > (KK ~ 6P, 214HP / KK ~ dl.6P, 6HP / 236[LK], 623HP)	Anywhere	2474/2506/2598	3	-	Medium/Hard	Advanced OD Flicker combos. The first ender is recommended, though the second has notable wall carry, and 6HP can be swapped out for Level 1. The third is a minor damage increase, though it looks the coolest.

Links and Starters

Normal Hit

Links and Chains
Combo	Notes
2LP 5LP	Vital to get anything out of Ed's fastest low and make sure that he doesn't end up -5 in the opponent's face.
2MK, 5MP	Ed's 2MK is a strong wall of a normal, and he can link out of it as a hitconfirm.
5HK, 5MP/2MP	Doesn't come up often, but good to know if opponent is standing as a minor optimization.
j.MK, 2MK>..	Neutral jump ranged harassment.Can be cancelled into KK~dl.6P, 214HP or Psycho Flicker
2MK, 2MP>..	2MP can be used to extend the combo and confirm window. Can whiff at max 2MK range. Cancel into KK~6P, Psycho Blitz or 236LP

...... > 236KK, 623LP, 623HP	Anywhere	1739 (1448)	-	-	Easy	Simple followup, light DP can whiff at max flicker range.

Psycho Cannon

Reminder: You can cancel the 2nd last hit of 214PP to keep the opponent grounded for these combos. Useful for confirms.

Combo	Position	Damage	Drive Gauge	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
5HP > 214214HP, 5HP > 236[HK], 623LP, 214LP	Anywhere	3745	0	2	Medium	Easier combo. Slightly more damage but no wall carry.
5HP > 214214HP, KK, 9, dl.jHP, KK ~ dl.6P, 214HP	Anywhere	3620	0	2	Hard	Optimal meterless combo with great wall carry. Don't delay KK ~ 6P for an easier combo.
5HP > 214214HP, 5LK, 5HP > DI	Anywhere	3030	1	2	Easy	Depletes 2 Bars of opponent's drive gauge. Useful if it will put them in burnout.

All combos here use the final hit of 214PP, not the 2nd last.

Combo	Position	Damage	Super Gauge	Difficulty	Notes
5HP > 214PP > 214214LP, 623HP, 6HP, 623HP	Anywhere	4460	2	Easy	Easy and rewarding. Decent wall carry. Do a micro-walk KK ~ dl.6P after 6HP to squeeze in a Level 1 at the end.
5HP > 214PP > 214214LP, 623HP, KK ~ dl.6P, KK ~ dl.6P, 623HP	Anywhere	4445	2	Medium	Little trickier, but the wall carry is well worth it. Replace the first KK ~ dl.6P with 6HP if you're past midscreen for some extra damage.
5HP > 214PP > 214214LP, DR > 5HK > 236LP ~ 6LP, [5HP], KK ~ dl.6P, (236236K)	Anywhere	3885/4485	2/3	Hard	Insane wall carry, will go corner to corner. Release [5HP] so that you hit the opponent while they're as high as possible.

These combos only work if the conditions written in bold in "Notes" are met.
These are incredibly optimal, advanced, and sometimes character-specific combos that Ed can get from specific situations. These combos are very powerful due to their damage and wall carry.

Unless stated otherwise, these combos don't work on the following: Blanka, Honda, Marisa, and Zangief.
Tip for whiffing the 5LP before the Level 2 Super: hold 2 during 236KK, then return to neutral and press 4LP, then 214LP. If you don't return to neutral, you will get 214LP instead of 2 then 4LP.
