I think they are called Target Combos in SF. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I guess Juri Feng Shui normals can be called chains.

Fuck target combos. (the name). >=o

But seriously, it's just easier to call it strings so we can use the term between games. "*****s" in MKX are strings for example, Target Combos can just be the name for it in SF, lol
 
What is *****? *****s?

edit. That word is banned?! Why?

So strings, chains and Target combos are the same? I though strings are buttons you hit when you are applying pressure.

It's combo with a k. Weird. Didn't think it was censored.

Anyway, only time I see string in SF is when referring to block strings. But most other games that use string refer to canned inputs that don't have input requirements like a link. Target combos in SF would be that. In Tekken it'd be like Kuma's f+2,2,2.

Chains in SF usually are mashable lk or lp no?

I'd say the general usage of the words are:

Strings are a preset button combination that results in a pre-canned combo animation. SF calls it Target Combo. Predominant in 3D fighters.

Chains are normals/buttons cancelling into each other, without changing the buttons animation. Usually seen in anime games such as UMvC3, GG, UNIEL, etc.. In USFIV Juri can use this when in Feng Shui Engine mode.

EDIT: And yes mashable lp/lk are chains and can usually not be cancelled into a special unless you link it.

dem German magazine leaks

Zu den bereits bekannten Teilnehmern Ryu, Chun-Li, Nash und M. Bison gesellen sich die Veteranen Cammy White und Birdie. Cammy spielt sich flott wie eh und je, die quirlige Dame setzt in erster Linie auf Schnelligkeit und Nahkampfangriffe. Birdie hingegen ist ein gewaltiger Brocken, er haut ordentlich zu und steckt einiges ein. Der Koloss ist zwar sehr unbeweglich, seine Eisenkette hat aber eine nicht zu unterschätzende Reichweite. Deswegen ist der Riese in der aktuellen Vorab-Version auch deutlich zu stark. Hier muss Capcom noch an der Balance schrauben!
