Special Moves (7)

Learn the Flying Strike Attack, Vertical Strike, and Rapid Swipes special moves in Street Fighter II. Includes SNES and GENS default controls.

Special Moves:

1. Flying Strike Attack

   Hold Left for 2 seconds then press Right and any punch button together. This move sends Honda flying straight into the opponent. At a distance, it leaves him exposed to projectile attacks or a well-timed punch.

   • SNES Default: Left, Left, Right + Y
   • GENS Default: Left, Left, Right + X
2. Vertical Strike

   Hold Down for two seconds, then press Up with any kick button. Much like the other strike move, it leaves you exposed. It works best at close range.

   • SNES Default: Down, Down, Up + B
   • GENS Default: Down, Down, Up + A
3. Rapid Swipes

   One of the most powerful, and cheap, rapid punch (in this case, slap) attacks in the character roster. All you have to do is press the low or middle punch buttons rapidly for a short time, and from there maintain the combo with high punch for extra swiftness. It deals a lot of damage even when the opponent is blocking.

   • SNES Default: Y - Y - Y (Repeat Y Rapidly)
   • GENS Default: X - X - X (Repeat X Rapidly)
