Taken from the Information for New Players thread by Rokinlobster:

... since most figting games are played on several consoles, controllers, and sticks we use a number/letter scheme to write out combos easier.

INJUSTICE NOTATION AS IT STANDS NOW (Subject to Change)
1:Light attack (X on Xbox, Square on Playstation)
2: Medium Attack (Y on xbox, Triangle on Playstation)
3: Heavy Attack (A on Xbox, X on Playstation)
4: Trait (B on Xbox, Circle on Playstation) (note that there does not seem to be a consistant notation being used for this)

D: Down
U: Up
B:Back
F:Forward
MB: Meter Burn (Right trigger on xbox, R2 on Playstation)

People notate in many different ways. Some people use strictly directional and input notations, which gives the most accurate representation of the conbo, but looks much more confusing. Many, my self included use words to describe certain actions. For example, a jump. It can be represented as "U" or "Jump". Hopefully soon we will reach a consensus and have a consistent notation for Injustice. These are symbols I use, but there are plenty of variations.

, (Comma) I use these to split up different parts of a combo.
B3, 332. This would be a Back 3 launcher followed by a three hit string done by pressing 332 quickly in succession.

~ (Tilde) This means you cancel a special from a string. Take batmans for example, you could do 22~Straight grapple. This is done by pressing 22 down forward 1. ALSO "xx" IS USED COMMONLY.


So, lets write out my batman bnb from the demo, step by step.

22~Df1, MB This is batmans meter burnt straight grapple. It allows you to start a combo, as it immobilizes the opponent for a small time.
B3. Back and 3. This is a universal launching attack (Every character has this move as a launcher, though they may look different)
Forward Jumping 3. You jump and do a kick.
B23. Back 2 follwed by 3 pressed in succession.

So at the end of that we get is this.

22~straight grapple, MB,B3, Forward Jumping 3, B23.

Once again, notation is something that is pretty inconsistently written and seems to be tough to learn, but once you do learn it even with the inconsistencies it is very easy to read.
