Learn the best Street Fighter II strategy for when your opponent is down to avoid counter-attacks and grabs.

When your opponent is lying on the ground after a fall in Street Fighter II, it is best not to stand too close to them. While it might seem like an opportunity to attack with a special move, they can easily block it upon standing or even perform a grab move on you.

Tips
  • Let your opponent get back up before continuing the fight.
  • Be aware that a downed opponent can counter your special moves or grab you as they recover.
