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