To Get A Perfect Score In Bonus Stages

Learn the best approach for Street Fighter II bonus stages, focusing on fast attacks and avoiding specific moves for a perfect score.

The key to achieving a perfect score in the bonus stages of Street Fighter II is to avoid using your slowest, heaviest attacks, as they will take too long. Instead, employ fast and repetitive attacks, treating it like a button mini-game, given the tight thirty-second time limit.

For instance, Chun Li's Lightning Kicks combo, where individual hits are weak but accumulate quickly if most land, exemplifies this strategy. Edmond Honda's One-Hundred Hand Slap attack also works well.

However, this strategy is less effective in the falling-barrel stage. In this specific bonus stage, you should avoid using low punches and kicks, as the barrels will roll away before your attacks can connect. Additionally, the barrels themselves cause damage, so breaking them before they hit you is crucial.
