Reading move notation

Every Tekken input on this site goes through one renderer with three modes. Pick one in Settings and it changes everywhere at once, immediately: docs, the Controllers page, all of it.

The three modes

• Western (the default) is the text notation used by Wavu, most western communities, and this site's own docs: df+2, f,f+2, 1+2.
• Numpad turns directions into digits laid out like a keyboard's numpad, as if you're facing right, so df+2 becomes 3RP. Buttons become letter codes: 1/2/3/4 → LP/RP/LK/RK, with 1+2 → WP ("with punches") and 3+4 → WK. Common in Japanese and anime-fighter communities.
• Glyph draws icons instead: directional arrows and a four-button cluster, much like an in-game move list. The raw western text stays attached as the accessible label, so screen readers and copy-paste still get the real text.

Reading western notation

• Directions: f forward, b back, u up, d down, and diagonals df, db, uf, ub. n is neutral, no direction at all. Lowercase means tap. UPPERCASE (D, DF) means hold.
• Buttons: 1 left punch, 2 right punch, 3 left kick, 4 right kick.
• Connectors: + is pressed together (1+2). , is in sequence (f,f+2). ~ is immediately after, as fast as you can (1~2). _ separates interchangeable alternatives, so 1_2 means either punch works.
• The TZ-style slash form (d/f+1) is accepted and treated identically to df+1.

Anything the parser doesn't recognize as pure notation gets left as plain text; the parser never guesses. Stance names, move names, "WS" prefixes: all passed through untouched.
