Directional commands are relative according to the direction which your character is facing.

The moves are sequential, and are separated by a comma [ie. B,F,LK = press Back, then press Forward, then press Low Kick]. Occasionally a move will require that two or more buttons be pressed simultaneously, indicated by a plus sign [ie. D+LP+BL = press Down, Low Punch, and Block all at the same time].

For moves that require you to hold a button down for a length of time, the particular button to be held will be indicated after the colon [ie. H:HP = Hold High Punch], and the duration of time required [in seconds] will be indicated beside the kode [ie. H:BL(3),U,U = H:BL for 3 seconds before executing remaining moves].

The abbreviations in parentheses give a general indication of the distance from your opponent that you should be when you perform the move. (c) = right beside opponent, (s) = edge of sweeping distance, (j) = jump distance, (f) = far end of screen. When included in the parentheses, the + and - indicate that you should stand a little outside or inside of the distance indicated.
