Learn how to perform the Fireball, Spin Kick, and Uppercut special moves in Street Fighter II with these button inputs for SNES and GENS.

Street Fighter II Special Moves:

  1. Fireball

    This projectile attack is similar to Chun-Li's fireball combo. To perform it, hold Left on the directional control for two seconds, then quickly press Right and any punch button.

    • SNES Default: Hold Left (2 sec), then Right + Y
    • GENS Default: Hold Left (2 sec), then Right + X
  2. Spin Kick

    Execute a spinning kick by holding Left on the directional control for two seconds, then quickly pressing Right and any kick button. While it can be slow and easy to block, it deals significant damage when it connects.

    • SNES Default: Hold Left (2 sec), then Right + B
    • GENS Default: Hold Left (2 sec), then Right + A
  3. Uppercut

    This is a rapid punching uppercut jab that is quite effective. To perform it, hold Down on the directional control for two seconds, then hold Up and rapidly tap any punch button.

    • SNES Default: Hold Down (2 sec), then Up + Y (Repeat Y Rapidly)
    • GENS Default: Hold Down (2 sec), then Up + X (Repeat X Rapidly)
Tips
  • Practice the timing for holding the directional inputs for two seconds before executing the final command.
  • Experiment with different punch and kick buttons to see if there are any variations in speed or power, though the source does not specify any.
  • The Uppercut requires rapid button tapping; ensure your fingers are ready for a quick sequence.
