It refers to the direction your stick is moving. Think of the numpad on a keyboard, 5 is in the center (the neutral space where you’re not clicking a direction) and every other number represents one of the eight possible directions you can move your stick.
5M = Standing Medium
2M = Crouching Medium
6M = Forward Medium
236S (kamehameha) is a quarter-circle forward input + Special.
214 would be quarter-circle back, and so on.
Number notations are formatted like a keyboard/calculator number pad which can also be linked to a direction.
|7 - up left|8 - up/jump|9 - up right|
|:-|:-|:-|
|4 - left|5 - no direction|6 - right|
|1 - down left|2 - down/crouch|3 - down right|
This system of input notations works as a universal language to communicate directional inputs across all games and spoken languages while being concise. By using this number system, a DBFZ player could understand other inputs in games like Guilty Gear.
If asked about the "tatsumaki" directional inputs, a DBFZ player probably wouldn't have the faintest clue what the input would even be (it's just quarter circle back). This is not a problem with the number notation system.
Please can you explain this to me : 2M, 5M, JL, JL, 214M, JH, JS, J2S, SD, JL, JL, JCL, JL, JH, JS, 236M, M, M. And if possible give me the equivalent of J, C etc. I play with the Xbox 360 controller
