Notation is shorthand for writing out game input. It's used extensively throughout both this wiki and the wider Tekken community.
Other notation styles
Two widely used styles different from Wavu Wiki's 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.
