Notation is shorthand for game input. It's used extensively throughout both this wiki and the wider Tekken community. Notation is distinct from jargon.
Basic Input
| Notation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | Left Punch |
| 2 | Right Punch |
| 3 | Left Kick |
| 4 | Right Kick |
| Notation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| u | Up |
| d | Down |
| f | Forward |
| b | Backward |
| n | Neutral (no direction) |
| U | Up (Hold) |
| D | Down (Hold) |
| F | Forward (Hold) |
| B | Backward (Hold) |
| Notation | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| / | Diagonal directional input | u/f |
| + | Pressed together | 1+2 |
| , | Followed by[b 1] | 1,2 |
| ~ | Followed by, immediately | 1~2 |
| : | Followed by, tight input window | 1:2 |
| < | Followed by, with delayed input | 1<2 |
| ^ | Held input | 1^ |
| Notation | Meaning | Example | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CH | Counter-hit | CH 1,1 | 1,1, where the first hit is a counter hit |
| CL | Clean hit | CL 1,1 | 1,1, where the first hit is a clean hit |
| () | Whiffed or blocked moves[b 2] | (1,2),1 | 1,2,1, where the first two hits whiff or get blocked |
| (x?) | Repeat string ? times | 1,2,f~n(x3) | 1,2,f~n repeated 3 times |
| [] | Damage | [16] 1,2 | 1,2, doing 16 damage in total |
- ↑ See also § Spaces and commas
- ↑ This is mostly important for counter hits: CH 1,2,1 means that the first hit is a counter hit, whereas CH (1,2),1 means that the last hit is.
Combo annotations
| Notation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RA | Rage Art[cn 1] |
| RD | Rage Drive |
| R! | Requires Rage (only when ambiguous) |
| S! | Screw / Tail spin |
| W! | Wall splat |
| Wb! | Wall bounce |
| FB! | Floor Break |
| WB! | Wall Break |
| BB! | Balcony Break |
| cc | Crouch cancel |
| iws | Instant WS |
- ↑ In-game specific RA button is bindable, sometimes from stances player is required to use a specific input to perform a Rage Art
Stances
Stances give access to additional moves. They also often prevent the use of regular, standing moves. If a stance only has one move and one transition, it's usually preferable to just write the full input.
| WR | While running[s 1][s 2] |
| WS | While standing[s 3][s 4] |
| FC | Full crouch[s 5] |
| BT | Back turned |
| SS | Sidestep |
| SSL | Sidestep left |
| SSR | Sidestep right |
| FUFT | Face up, feet towards |
| FUFA | Face up, feet away |
| FDFT | Face down, feet towards |
| FDFA | Face down, feet away[s 6] |
| Character | Abbreviation | Stance | Input |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lee | HMS | Hitman Stance | 3+4 |
| Lee | INF | Infinite Kicks | (pseudo)[s 7] |
| Lee | MS | Mist Step | f~n |
| Lee | Sway | Sway | MS b~n |
- ↑ Same as f,f,f.
- ↑ In notation lower case "wr" is used.
- ↑ Called “while rising” in-game.
- ↑ In notation lower case "ws" is used.
- ↑ In notation lower case "fc" is used.
- ↑ Look Character specific notations for their specific grounded stances.
- ↑ Not really a stance, but it can be helpful to notate it as if it were.
Spaces and commas
When writing out a combo, consistent use of spaces and commas helps with readability.
Commas are only used to separate inputs within a string, and should not have a space after them.
Spaces are used to separate almost everything else: strings, stances, damage, counter/clean hit, and combo annotations.
Spaces can be omitted in some cases if it improves readability. The most notable case is writing movement stances in lowercase and without a space, e.g. “ws2” instead of “WS 2”. This should be avoided if there's also a directional input, e.g. write “WS b+1” and not “wsb+1” or “WSb+1”.
Conditions
Some moves can only be done under certain conditions. In these cases, the notation for that move's “input” includes some non-input representing that condition. [1]
| Notation | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| p | Successful parry | b+1+2,p,4 |
Motion inputs
Motion inputs must specify when the final directional input is a hold. This clarifies that the attack input can't be pressed on the same frame. It also often indicates that the input can't be fully buffered.
| Character | Move | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Bryan | f,b+2 | The b and 2 can be pressed on the same frame, will still work if b is pressed earlier |
| Heihachi | f,F+2 | The second F must be pressed and held at least one frame before the 2 |
| Heihachi | d,d/f,f+2 | The f and 2 can be pressed on the same frame, will still work if f is pressed earlier |
| Lee | d,D/B+4 | The D/B must be pressed and held at least one frame before the 4 |
Other notation styles
Two different notable notation styles are Iron Fist (also known as official or in-game notation) and numpad (also known as anime notation). Numpad style is so-named because the directional inputs are based on their position on a numpad.
| Wavu Wiki | Iron Fist | Numpad |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | LP |
| 2 | 2 | RP |
| 3 | 3 | LK |
| 4 | 4 | RK |
| 1+2 | 1+2 | LP+RP |
| 1+2+3 | 1+2+3 | LP+RP+LK |
| 1+2+3+4 | 1+2+3+4 | LP+RP+LK+RK |
| Wavu Wiki | Iron Fist | Numpad |
|---|---|---|
| u | u | 8 |
| d | d | 2 |
| f | f | 6 |
| b | b | 4 |
| n | n | 5 |
| u/f | u/f | 9 |
| d/f | d/f | 3 |
| d/b | d/b | 1 |
| u/b | u/b | 7 |
| Wavu Wiki | Iron Fist | Numpad |
|---|---|---|
| U | U | |
| D | D | |
| F | F | |
| B | B | |
| U/F | U/F | |
| D/F | D/F | |
| D/B | D/B | |
| U/B | U/B |
| Wavu Wiki | Iron Fist | Numpad |
|---|---|---|
| 1~2 | [12] | LP~RP |
| u/f+4 f,F+3 | u/f4>fF3 | 9RK,66LK |
| d,D/B+4 3~3:4 | dD/B4>[33]:4 | 21RK,LK~LK:RK |
Numpad style is more common in South Korea and Japan. In Japan, LP+RP and LK+RK are often shortened to WP and WK respectively.
