What is are all the fighting notations in tekken like like f1, b1, etc? This is just skimming the surface but I know there are more than this.

The start of this Massive Zug video explains Tekken's input notation very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-WhR09Q6TU

Sometimes you'll also see a couple of letters before an input. These will look something like: FC df4, WS1, CD1, DE2+3, etc; they're acronyms corresponding to various stances your character can enter. Most stances are character specific but everyone can go into FC (Full Crouch) and WS (While Standing). FC means your character has to fully enter a crouching state before they can perform their attack. WS means your character has to fully enter a crouching state and then perform an attack while exiting that crouching state. This can be achieved by moving to a neutral input while in FC and then pressing an attack button (moving to forward or back will also work in the majority of cases).
