Akira Shorthand

Can someone help cos i find it difficult to understand all the shortand that is used to describe Akira's moves in FAQs.

 

Yes, hello. I hate 90% of the "abbreviations" myself, too. In fact I made that quite clear when transcribing an Akira combo vid. You'll see a legend for the more common terms at the bottom:

The point I was trying to make was: if the "shorthand" is actually longer to write than just the *gasp* move command itself, you know something is seriously messed up. And not in the good way.

I mean, geez... "StDbPm" - how the FUCK is that easier to recognize or quicker to type than "QCB+P?"

* Sorry.

 

Thanks for your help.
