I'm so confused!!! HELP!!!

[Norik]

Even tough I've been a fan of Soul Calibur for a long time, I'm really confused regarding to the way you guys reffer to the moves. Example:

"...I hate 44a+b because then the enemy can make a 1a2a3b and then he can throw you..."

WTF!!!​

Can anyone help me!? What do all those abbreviations mean? I know that a means horizontal attack, b vertical, k kick and g guard, but wazzup with all those numbers!? ​

HELP!

Pretty much the numbers correspond to the number pad on keyboards.

7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
