Hey guys, I'm new and I have one little question..

[smalltalk]

Can someone give me a very short description of some of the terms used on this site? First of all, I don't know what the buttons "1,2,3,4" map to when people are describing kombos. Also, there are some other terms being thrown around that make me think "whaa?". I bet there is a thread describing these basics so please go easy on me and don't call me too much of a noob!

Anyways, besides this stupid question, I hope to learn a lot from this site and eventually be able to help others down the road.

Thanks!

Welcome to TYM.

1 = (X/Square)
2 = (Y/Triangle)
3 = (A/X)
4 = (B/O)

Think of the buttons on a controller. Now think of X+Y on the 360 controller or Square+Triangle as the "top" buttons. From left to right, 1 then 2. Now do the same for the other two. 3 for A/X and 4 for B/O.

Awesome, thank you so much guys! I wish people would just use those little pictures, but I can see how that could become a hassle!

It's not that hard actually, people are just lazy. All you have to do is ": fp" with no space. Very simple and easy!
