I found the tutorial for motion controls confusing - here's what I learned.

Gameplay

I'll try to keep this quick and to-the-point. Here are your buttons:

**L** - light attack

**M** - medium attack

**H** - heavy attack

**D** - dash

**A1** - assist 1

**A2** - assist 2

Every other command is a combination press. An example of most of them follows:

**Pushblock/Dash (Alternate Input)** - L+M

**Throw** - L+D

**Counter Tag/Heroic Strike** - M+A1

**Taunt** - L+A1

**Boost Dash** - M+H

**SNAPBACK** - H+A2

Good? Good.

Special, Boosted Special, Super, and Ultimate inputs are **universal across all characters**.

L = Specials

M = Boosted Specials

H = Supers & Ultimate

There are three motion inputs total. The game refers to them as Forward, Backward, and Down.

"Forward" = 236/qcf

"Backward" = 214/qcb

"Down" = 623/dp

Specials and Boosted Specials are pretty straightforward, but Supers and Ults are a little different.

"Forward" H = Forward Super

"Backward" H = Backward Super

"Down" H = Ultimate

I think that sums it up. If this helps someone, great. Writing this stuff down helps me remember it.
