Combopedia is intended to be a resource for learning and sharing combos for Persona 4 Arena, a 2D fighting game for video game consoles. Players control a single character to attack and defend against an opponent character, controlled by another player or by the computer.

Instead of a mouse and a keyboard, players use specialized game pads to control their characters. The controller consists of four buttons labeled A through D and a joystick. The joystick can be pressed in 8 directions: up, down, left, right, and the diagonal directions. The joystick can also be used to sweep through 90 degree arcs; these are called quarter-circles.

Certain sets of button presses and joystick maneuvers can be performed in sequence to create powerful attacks; these are called “combos.” A combo consists of a set of moves, where a single move is defined as a set of buttons pressed simultaneously, a single joystick maneuver, or both performed together.

There is a complex keyboard notation for inputting combos that is used on various internet forums; however, this notation is intended mostly for advanced players. Combopedia attempts to give less experienced users a more graphical method of sharing and learning these combos, while still allowing advanced players to use the conventional keyboard input.
