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 |
: | Pressed together on the same frame | d/f: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 |
---|---|
R! | Requires rage |
S! | Screw (or Tailspin) |
W! | Wall splat or wall bounce |
WB! | Wall break |
F! | Floor break |
BB! | Balcony break |
cc! | Crouch cancel |
Stances
WR | While running[s 1] |
WS | While standing |
FC | Full crouch |
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 |
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.
Character | Abbreviation | Stance | Input |
---|---|---|---|
Lee | HMS | Hitman Stance | 3+4 |
Lee | INF | Infinite Kicks | (pseudo)[s 2] |
Lee | MS | Mist Step | f~n |
Lee | Sway | Sway | MS b~n |
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.
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.

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.
