bufferable?

[Legion Quest]

What does the term "bufferable" mean in the Shoryuken strategy guide for MK9?

I did a search and read 4 different explanations.

1) The move can be cancelled (meaning the last frames of the animation) into another move?
2) The move can be done by inputting the commands during a block?
3) The move can be done by inputting the commands while your character is still completing another move?
4) The move can be done by inputting the joystick movements after the attack button?

All these explanations make sense I guess but I'm not sure since they are using terminology for Capcom games. Give me an example of a bufferable move. Perhaps then I can explain it...

I always assumed it just means inputting ("buffering") a special into a combo, i.e. 214~slide with Sub Zero. So explanation #3 makes the most sense.

#3 makes most sense, you buffer the input for one move inside another, for a very easy example you can jump in the air, buffer the input for a move while soaring through the skies, and as you hit the ground the move will come out.

you buffer inputs when doing a lot of cyrax's high damage combos

Yeah thats a good point, you can buffer stuff from ducking or dashing, for example scorpion can dash backwards and hes buffering a spear.

 

[Seapeople]

Yeah Cyrax is a perfect example. For some of his combos, you have to buffer the direction inputs of his bombs so that you don't accidentally dash forward/backward afterward.

 

[NKZero]

oh right I get it now. So pretty much most specials are bufferable.

it means all of those things

Okay guys this is buffering
Its literaly all those things on that list! no lie i shit you not
so say im like say Kano a match and i want to apply a D1 into choke for pressure i would put this as the input:
as a resault I get a clean D1 choke string; even though Choke's inputs are I can BUFFER the imput with because d1 has a in it

But thats just one example. The second one says bufferable with block.
so say Kenshi's fatality requires some inputs. if you dont feel like jumping, you can buffer the fatality inputs in block

for the last example think Guile and go home and be a family man because you are know all experts on buffering!!

....Pretty sure this was just an issue of terminology. It doesn't mean that SF players are smarter than MK players. Lmao. But you guys don't have to be at each others throats about it.
