Terminology Used on Dustloop Defined

[tofurr]

I apologize, again.

Thank you for the info.

the numbers represent a direction.

789
456
123

6 being foward, 4 being back, 2 down, etc. 5 means no directional input. When you see "A, B, C, D" it represents a button to push.

A=Weak
B=Medium
C=Strong
D=Drive

On your Xbox controller A=X, B=Y, C=B, and D=A

I see, I eliminated that theory based on 5 being no movement, so I thought, "that can't be it then." But that is probably better than just saying D, thanks. Pressure Strings?

Hi,

can somebody tell me please what is ment by "dj" in combo lists?
Like [...] ->5B->jc->jB->dj->jB->[...]
I thought it was something like jumpcancel. But what is the difference between "jc" and "dj" then?

I searched for some time now, but couldn´t find out ._.

[MisterBadguy]

This one gets asked alot actually.

"dj" or "djc" in combo notation usually refers to double jump canceling, or canceling an air normal into another jump, such as Ragna's j.c, j.d, dj, j.c, j.d ect.

"sj.*" means to superjump.

Also, for Ragna and Jin combos if you run into dc, DC, or [DC] it means Dash Cancel, or canceling a normal with a dash.

The only other weird one I can think of at the moment is if you're looking at Sol's Sidewinder Loops, the notation nj. is used in a few. This stands for Neutral jump.

Any other weird notations should be cleared up at the top of a character's combo list such as move nicknames (BBU, BK, VSD) or weird character specific commands (Carl and Ara's negative edge inputs are usually shown as ]D[ for example).

EDIT: There is ONE MORE I thought of that could possibly confuse a new player. If "CH" preceeds the notation, It means that the combo can only be initiated if the leading move is a counterhit. Ex. Jin's CH 5c,6c [DC] 5c, ect.

Hope that cleared everything up.

[futoM4ki]

Well, it´s actually hard to search for since "dj" is to short for the search function.
tyvm for your response!

Very helpful article, i was suprised to learn that half the terms i already know, they're just in japanese "Tachi...wha? You mean Footsies?"

6C>JC(jc)>JC>BE
When referring to this combo for Ragna, what does it mean I should do in the parenthesis? Does it mean I jump cancel after JC? Also, are parenthesis only used to refer to cancels like dash cancels?

[Narcowski]

Yes, that (jc) means "jump cancel".

[Circuitous]

That's pretty terrible formatting.

6C > jc.C > jc.C > 214C

Forward C, jump cancel C, jump cancel C, Belial Edge.

That's pretty terrible formatting.

6C > jc.C > jc.C > 214C

Forward C, jump cancel C, jump cancel C, Belial Edge.

I saw it from a Japanese combo vid.
