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 and Butter Combos

Meterless Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes
2LK ~ 2LP ~ 5LP > 214LK/623HP	Anywhere	1270/1690	Very Easy	Your basic light confirm.
2MK > 214MK/236MK	Anywhere	1220/1380	Very Easy	Though 2MK combos to almost all versions of your specials on normal hit, focus mainly on these two. Medium Donkey Kick is safer than Tatsu and leaves you open to pop a Denjin charge. Medium Tatsu has great corner carry. Note that any instance of Medium Tatsu from here on out can be swapped with Heavy Tatsu for slightly more damage and a side swap.
5MP, 2MP > 214MK/236MK/623HP	Anywhere	1920/2080/2320	Very Easy	This is a consistent combo that works when you aren't right next to the opponent.
5MP, 4HP > 236HK/623HP	Anywhere	2440/2520	Very Easy	You have to be point blank for the 4HP to link after the 5MP. 4HP is your ONLY normal that meterlessly combos into Heavy Donkey Kick.
6HP, 2MP > 214MK/623HP	Anywhere	1910/2260	Very Easy	Heavy Shoryu is your highest damage meterless 6HP combo. Tatsu gives you corner carry and oki.
6HP, 2MP, 5LK > 214MK/236LK	Anywhere	2030/2090	Easy	Light Donkey Kick gives you space to pop Denjin. This Medium Tatsu ender does do more damage compared to the above, but the oki is worsened midscreen as a you can only dash forward and jab if the backroll.
5MP > 4HP > 236HK > 623LP	Corner	3210	Easy	This is your highest damage meterless combo without a jump-in PERIOD.

Metered Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Difficulty	Notes
PDR, 6MP, 5MP > 214MK/236MK/623HP	Anywhere	1920/2080/2320	Medium	This is a core part of your Drive Rush strike mixup, 2MK being the other.
Any Medium/Heavy Starter > 214PP > 214214P	Anywhere	2900-3800	Medium	Your basic route into level 2. You can charge Shin Hasho to level 2 if you release it as soon as it hits the second level of charge.
Any Medium/Heavy Starter > 236KK, 623HP	Midscreen	1980-2880	Medium	Midscreen combo extension. Replace Shoryu with level 1 for more damage. Cancel Shoryu to level 3 for even more.
Starter > 236KK > 214214P	Midscreen	2940-3840	Medium	Another route into level 2 that does a hair more damage.
(6HP, 5MP)/(5MP, 4HP) > 236KK, 4HK > 623HP	Midscreen	2600/2980	Hard	You can only squeeze in the 4HK if you end your starter really close to them. You can NOT cancel the 4HK into level 1. If you wanna spend super, you have to cancel into level 3.
Starter > 214KK, PDR, 5MP > 214MP, 623HP	Corner	2528-3550	Medium	Your basic OD+DR extension for extra damage in the corner. Can also be ended in supers after the OD Tatsu instead of doing the more complex DRC version.
5HP > DRC > 5HK > 5HP > DRC > 5HK > 5HP > 623HP > 236236K	Anywhere	5796	Easy	Very simple drive meter dump into level 3 that works anywhere on the screen. Useful as a punish starter or punish counter drive impact round ender.
Any Medium/Heavy Starter > DRC, 5HP, 4HP > 236HK, 623LP, 236236K	Corner	4505-5541	Hard	A high damage level 3 corner combo. It has a link between 5HP and 4HP, after Heavy Donkey Kick, and a tight cancel from Shoryu into level 3.
jHP/jHK, 5HP > DRC, 5HK, 5HP > DRC, 5HP, 4HP > 236HK, 623LP, 236236K	Corner	6145	Hard	This is only possible on a jump-in, Shoryu punish or stun. You can omit the j.HP and start with 5HP > DRC for 5909. If you are midscreen you simply cut out the Heavy Donkey Kick and Light Shoryu and put in a Heavy Shoryu to level 3.

Punish Combos

Punish Counter routes
236HK > 236236P	Anywhere	3560	Easy	Easy punish against moves that are at least -30 (DPs, supers) that works anywhere on the screen and costs no drive meter.
5HK, 5HP > DRC, 5HK, 5HP > DRC, 5HP, 4HP > 236HK, 623LP > 236236K	Corner	6425	Medium	A punish combo that works will with spacing traps and is an easier way to punish DPs that works without Denjin. Midscreen the 236HK, 623LP can be replaced with 623 HP for 241 less damage.
236HK > PDR > 4HP > dj.214P > PDR > 5HP > DRC > dl.5HP > DRC > dl.4HP > 236MK > 623HP > 236236K	Anywhere	6442/6724	Hard	Highly optimized Level 3 + Drive dump 236HK combo that requires Denjin Charge. The 4HP needs to be delayed enough to reach the highest possible juggle and still be cancellable, or 623HP will miss. Can replace the 236MK juggle with 236HK > 236236K for a much easier combo at 282 less damage.
