... = Between parts of a transition move, this means that you can wait any
length of time between doing those parts of the move. Often, you can
walk around and/or get hit during this time, and still be able complete
the move. If you leave the ground (jump, teleport, get uppercutted) or
block during this time, you will not be able to complete the move.
wait = the next part of the combo does not connect directly to the previous
part (the "wait" could actually be anywhere from 0 to 10 seconds)
line = the little vertical white line at the end of your current (not maximum)
energy bar will start flashing after you do a Combo-Breaker, Energy
Howl, or Absorbtion Shield. Sometimes called the "shadow line", you
need it to do shadow moves. Doing several shadow moves makes the line
stop flashing. Doing one shadow move makes the line stop flashing for
Sabrewulf. Shadow combo endings do not stop the line from flashing.
Move Examples:
H6,QCDB+R6 should be read as: Hold fierce low attack and rotate the joystick
in a quarter circle DF->D->DB motion, and then while the joystick is
still held in the DB position, release fierce low attack.
CB,F+3 should be read as: Charge back (2 seconds) then press forward, then
while the joystick is still held in the forward position, press
fierce high attack.
CF+1,CB+5,2,2 should be read as: Press the joystick forward and press quick
punch when the joystick is in the forward position. Keep the
joystick in the forward position for at least a second, and then
move the joystick into the back position, pressing medium kick when
the joystick is in the back position, and continue holding the
joystick back while pressing medium punch twice. Continue holding
the joystick back until instructed to press it in some other
direction.
