Introduction

Welcome to Street Fighter IV game guide. This two-dimension fighting game, may be hard for beginners because of high difficult level. This guide should help you to learn each character moves and their specific properties which can be helpful for advanced players. I wrote everyspecial character moves, Ex attacks, Super and Ultra Combo and several useful combos. Ialso wrote some in my opinion, worth attention normal attacks. In the first moment, thosecombos may seem be very difficult but practice spent on Training Mode and very helpful TrailMode make perfect.

Enjoy reading!

Basics: Juggle

It’s about juggling enemy threw in the air. When opponent under the influence of one of thestrikes will fly up (also called juggle starter), you can beat him for a while in the air. He ishelpless and he can’t block your attacks at this moment. Juggle is the most valued, but on the other hand the most damned fight element.

Combo

This is nothing else but couple or even several attacks. Initiation attack is called as combo starter.



Strings

Reprogrammed combos. If the first strike hit, the rest of them will also hit.

Counter

It is simply counterattack. These moves have a higher priority, and used together withjumps, effectively protect against throws and long combos.

Focus Attack

MP+MK

Focus Attack starts by pressing medium punch and medium kick at the same time. It is atechnique both defensive and offensive. Character making this move, get into special positionwhich can absorb single enemy attack (it can’t be throw or Ex Attack). When the button willbe released, our character will execute the attack. Focus Attack has three levels, which depend on the time in which we keep MP + MK.

• Level 1 – press the buttons for one second and release them. This is the weakestattack.

• Level 2 – hold the buttons for two second. Release them when our character will flash.This is medium attack. If it will pass, the enemy will become stun and will be openedfor the combo.

• Level 3 – hold the buttons for 2,5 – 3 seconds. Character will flash in yellow. Ourattack will be unblock-able and will open the opponent for a combo.

Absorbing attacks using the Focus Attack, load our Revenge Meter.

Throws:

• n, LK+LP • LK+LP • t + LK+LP

We do it by pressing together light punch and kick. We must be very close to the enemy. Tobreak away from the throw press LP + LK at the moment in which the opponent is trying to catch us.

Ultra Moves

We executing Ultra Moves in the same way as Super Moves, specified for every character but we need to press all three punch LP+MP+HP or kick = LK+MK+HK attacks instead of one.

This movement can be done only if we have charged Revenge Meter at least the to half (the„Ultra” word will be flashing). Load it by being injured or absorbing attacks by Focus Attack.

Revenge Meter does not pass for the next round!

Super Moves

We executing them in the same way as Ultra Moves, but at the end we press one punch orkick instead of three.

Super Moves can be executed only when our Super Meter will be full (“Super” will be flashing).

Load Super Meter by attacking the enemy.



Ex Moves

We execute this attack in the same way as every Special Moves of each character but weneed to press two punch or kick attacks instead of one (eg. Spinning Bird Kick Chun Li - [d], g+K or Ex Spinning Bird Kick - [d], g+MK+LK(two any kicks). If we press all 3 punch or kickattacks, the effect will be the same. For some players this way may be more comfortable (especially playing on the pad).

Executing Ex Move will absorb 1/4 Super Meter.

Focus Attack Dash Canceling

We can cancel every Special Moves by doing Focus Attack. In addition, we can also do the forward dash and let go MP + MK to confuse the enemy and continue the combo.

Getting up:

If you want to get up faster, press couple of time d, just before our character will hit the floor.It don’t work after throws and some of the Special Moves.

Super Armor & Armor Breaking

Focus Attack and some of the Ex Moves can absorb single enemy attack. This move wecalled Super Armor, but every character has an Armor Breaking Move which can block the Super Armor. If the attack has this ability, I marked it in the bracket near his name.

Taunts:

• HK+HP

We may sneer opponent by pressing this combination.

Combos

• HK (jumping), MK (crouching), cancel Beast Roll • HK (jumping), p+MP, cancel Electricity • Beast Roll (close), cancel Focus Attack



Chun Li

Chun li didn’t change since SF3 Third Strike. She has strong attacks from both the land and air. By combination and doing different moves, it's easy to confuse the enemy. She is also quite fast. Unfortunately, there is no attack against flying opponents, her Super and Ultra Combo is relatively weak. In addition, almost all of attacks are susceptible to counters.

Normal Moves

• d+ MK – Kick of Death

This move is used as Fireball, Super Combo or Hyakuretsu Kyaku intro.

• d+MK (air) – Head Stomp

Classics. Not so useful as before, but can be used in critical situation.

• dp+LK – Backflip Kick

Jump back, good combo starter.

Special Moves

• K, K, K – Hyakuretsukyaku (armor breaking)

Good, fast attack checking at the beginning or the end of combo. It’s good way to cancel enemy’s Focus Attack. Unfortunately it has quite big delay so use it carefully.

• [t], p+P – Kikoken

Good projectile, fast enough and without delay. His distance and strength belongs frompushed punch. LP is the weakest but has the biggest distance. HP is faster and stronger butpassing shorter way flying.




• hcb+K – Hazanshu

It is fast flip, which must be blocked standing. Has virtually no delay and pass through thefireball. However, it may be detained by a single attack.

• [d], g+K – Spinning Bird Kick

Classics. Effective on less experienced players. Vulnerable to all counters kinds.

• t+MK, MK, d, g+K – Command Combo Kicks

The first is the high attack, second throws enemy into the air and next moves finish thecombo. You can continue with Ex Spinning Bird Kick (if it's possible). In the screen corner hit Super or Ultra Combo.

• LP+LK (in the air) – Air Throw

The only Chun Li weapon against flying enemies. Throw range is very good and it's almostguarantee.

Ex Moves

• 2xK, 2xK, 2xK – Ex Hyakurestukyaku (armor breaking)

Great juggle starter, making more damge than basic version.

• [t], p+2xP – Ex Kikoken

This fireball hits two times and is much faster than basic. Hits from long distance and it’s very good in combo.

• hcb + 2xK – Ex Hazanshu

Takes a little more energy and it’s faster.

• [d],g+2xK – Ex Spinning Bird Kick

This move do not absorb energy any more like it was SF3. Even so it is one of the best chun Li moves. Has a good priority and it's very fast. Good as counter, it's better to use it at theend of combo.

Super Combo

• [t], p, t, p+K – Senretsukyaku

Average Super Combo. Work only against standing enemy (if it hits the enemy while he'sjumping, it takes practically no energy). Moreover it has poor range and it's simple to block.It's definitely better to use all EX attacks which make similar damage.


Ultra Combo

• [t], p, t, p+3xK – Housenka

This Ultra Combo pass through fireball and hit even from the second corner of the screen.Nevertheless like in case of Super Combo, you are defenseless when enemy will block it. Also doesn't work on enemies in the air.

Combos

• HK (from air), HP (crouching), cancel EX Kikouken, Cancel Focus Attack 2, dashcancel, Command Combo Kicks.

• LK (crouching), LP (crouching), MK (crouching), cancel Ex Kikouken.



Crimson Viper

Some players consider that she is very similar to Cammy, but with a closer contact, the figure turns out to be much better. Her Burning Kick, Super Jump (interrupted Ultra Combo) is excellent, and what is most important a safe way of decrease the distance. Most of the strikes, roll your opponent may be canceled with Special Moves. Her weakness is poor stamina and low power strikes.

Normal Moves

• HP – Hard Punch

Can by canceled by Thunder Knuckle, Seismic Hammer, Burning Kick or Super Jump.

• P+MP – Overhead Attack

Great high attack. Going above some fireballs and has a good range. Can be continued withMP (crouching), cancel Thunder Knuckle.

Special Moves

• qcb+P – Thunder Knuckle (armor breaking)

Low LP version pass through fireball (timing), with high MP. HP is good against flyingenemies. Attack practically hasn’t any delay, so you can use it often. Has a high priority andis a good jugle starter. One thing you can worry about from the enemy is block.

• qcb+K – Burning Kick

Very safe fireball even if it will be block. Done in a good moment miss the fireball. Ex version is good in combos.




• qcb+K (in the air) – Aerial Burning Kick

LK version is good against all Shoryuken and air attacks. Very good attack which can cancelnormal jump attack (HP or HK). Do it with HK in the air to hit the enemy in the rear of hishead – with LK in front. Ex version is very good in combos.

• p, d, dp+P – Seismic Hammer

Range of this attack depends on pushed punch. LP version has the weakest range but it’s very safe. Good against landing enemies. Close to enemy is good juggle starter. The problem may be choice of distance. Ex version chooses for us. It’s also good way against characters with free fireballs (Chun Li, Guile). Has quite big delay.

• d, g – Super Jump

Similar to Rolento move from Street Fighter Alpha. Although it’s much faster. During it you can press gt or gp. You can cancel by:

• LP or LP (crouching) • MP or MP (crouching) • HP or HP (crouching) • LK (crouching) • MK (crouching)

You can survive Super Jump with Ultra Combo combo. This requires some practice, but it is often very fast and guaranteed.

Ex Moves

• qcb+2xP – Ex Thunder Knucke (armor breaking)

Good against enemy who miss his Ultra Combo. Preparing takes a while so using it in combo is very hard.

• qcb+2xK – Ex Burning Kick

Very good in combos. Has a high priority and is good against enemy who I doing anti-air move (attack against flying opponents).

• p, d, dp+2xP – Ex Seismic Hammer

In contrast to the basic version is very fast and can be used in combos. We do not have to choose a suitable distance, because the attack hits wherever opponent is standing.

Super Combo

• qcf, qcf+P – Emergency Combination


Ultra Combo

• qcf, qcf+3xP – Burst Time (armor breaking)

You can cancel Super Jump. It’s good to do it after Focus Attack, to finish the combos orwhen the enemy is confused. This Super Combo has weird range and not all his pieces reach the target. Do not use them on flying enemies.

Combos

• HK (from the air), MP (crouching), cancel MP Thunder Knuckle. • Seismic Hammer, cancel Super Jump, LK Burning Kick (in the air), MK, HP Thunder

Knuckle. • HK (from the air), HP, cancel Ex Seismic Hammer, cancel Super Jump, Aerial Burning

Kick, Ultra Combo. • HP (crouching), Ex Seismic Hammer, cancel Super Jump, HK Aerial Flame Kick, Ex

Thunder Knuckle, Ultra Combo.



Dhalsim

Dhalsim hasn’t changed at all. The range of his special moves and is still very good, and not the best and his Ultra Combo is very dangerous. This is the best defensive player from all. The bad part? Very slow backward dash and similar to Akuma, hit attacks take him a lot of energy.

Normal Moves

• dp+K – Slide

Attack range and strength depends on pushed kick. You can continue this attack doing throw.

• HP (in the air) – Jumping Hard Punch

Great range, a lot of damage.

• t+MP – Hook Arm • t+HK – Anti Air Knee

Great attack against flying enemies.

Special Moves

• qcf+P – Yoga Fire

Fireball strength and range depends on pushed punch. LP is the weakest but fly farthest. HP has the biggest power and the shortest range. MP is the combination of those two. None ofthis “shots” fly through all the screen length. LP may seem be better because after releasedprojectile you can keep your enemy for a distance using kicks and punches in case when hejump over the fireball.




• hcb+P – Yoga Flame

Very quick attack, may be safely using in combos.

• hcb+K – Yoga Blast

Using in case of flying enemies.

• p, d, dp lub t, d, dt+3xP lub 3xK – Yoga Teleport • You can do this teleport also in the air. Dhalsim hasn’t delay after it. Doing right

combination you appear: • 3xP move forward – behind enemies back • 3xP move backward – in a half of the screen before enemy • 3xK move forward – just before enemy • 3xK move backward – before enemy with max distance. • d+K (in the air) – Foot Drill • Not so strong as in Super Turbo. Done in a good moment, may be painful. Specialist

use it as fireball counter. • d+P (in the air) – Head Drill • d+3xP – Yoga Tower

Dhalsim avoid both high and low attack.

EX Moves

• qcf+2xP – Ex Yoga Fire

Similar as basic version but fireball hit two times.

• qcb+2xP – Ex Yoga Flame • qcb+2xK – Ex Yoga Blast

Super Combo

• qcf, qcf+P – Yoga Inferno

Good attack against standing up enemies. Take a lot of energy even when it’s blocked. You can use it to block enemy in the screen corner.


Ultra Combo

• qcf, qcf+3xP – Yoga Catastrophe

Has a little better range than Super Combo and it’s excellent aginst flying enemies. Dhalsim is able to do action similar to Uriena Aegis Reflector in SF3 Third Strike. When enemy is standing up use Ultra Combo teleport behind him, do low attack and finish with throw.

Combos

• HP (from the air), LK, cancel Yoga Flame. • t+HP, MP Yoga Flame, Yoga Inferno. • t+MK, LP Yoga Flame, Yoga Inferno.



E. Honda

Edmund didn’t change a lot since Super Turbo. If pass through opponent defense, you can in a short time suck his power. In addition, the Hundred Hand Slap coverage was limited, Oicho throw is one of the best throws in the game and the Super and Ultra Combo is a great attack against flying opponents. He is slow but his stamina is high, which means that even the strongest blows it does not take much energy.

Normal Moves

• dp+HK – Overhead Attack • HP (from the air) – Jumping Hard Punch • d+MK – Jumping Splash

Safe way to decrease the distance.

Special Moves

• P, P, P – Hyakuretsu Harite

Strength and range depends on pushed punch.

• [t], p+P – Super Zetsuki

Very good attack which beat almost every specials such as Blanka Beast Roll or Bison Psycho Crusher. Takes a lot of damage even if it’s blocked. Good against flying opponents.

• [d], g+ K – Super Hyakkan Otoshi • hcb+P – Oicho Nage




The best throw in the game and one of the best Honda moves. Before you can do:

• LP (crouching) • LK (crouching) • LP • LK • Jumping Splash

If your opponent recognizes the situation and will be jumped, get him down using Ex Sumo Splash, or HP (from the air).

Ex Moves

• 2xP, 2xP, 2xP – Ex Hyakuretsu Harite

Turn your joy to the left or right and you will be able to move during attack – like in Super Street Fighter 2.

• [t], p+2xP – Ex Super Zutsuki (armor breaking) • [d], g+2xK – Ex Super Hyakkan Otoshi

Good attacks against flying enemies. Super Zatsuki has a higher priority than in basicversion.

• hcb+2xP – Ex Oicho Nage

Bigger range, bigger damage. Definitely the best Edmunds attack.

Super Combo

• [t], p, t, p+P – Onimusou (armor breaking)

Great against flying enemies. Pass through projectiles.


Ultra Combo

• [t], p, t, p+3xP – Super Onimusou

Similar to Super Combo good against flying enemies. Takes a lot of energy when Revenge Meter is full.

Combos

• HP (from the air), MK (crouching), cancel HP Headbutt. • Focus Attack, Ultra or Super Combo. • HP (from the air), MP, cancel Hyakuretsu Harite.



El Fuerte

This character has much in common with Alex from SF3 and Guy from Alpha series. This is the fastest player in this part, and the Ultra is lethal. Habanero Dash offers us plenty of opportunities, a reflection from the walls are perfect for the fireball. Unfortunately, his moves do not take a lot of energy, and for that he has low stamina. The key to an effective play with this character is to confuse your opponent and it continued surprising him with new moves.

Normal Moves

• p+MK – Overhead Kick

Good range attack – can be continued with throw (LK+LP).

• d+HP – Anti Air Punch

The best El Fuerte attack against flying enemies.

Special Moves

• qcf+P – Habanero Dash

El Fuerte will start run towards enemy. It brings some combinations here:

• LP – wrestler will stop • MP – Body Splash

Pass through fireball. Range of this attack can be controlled by joy (move left or right).

• HP - Flying Throw




Also pass through projectiles. Range of this attack can be controlled by joy.

Current Ken is the mix of blond from SF3 Third Strike and the one from Super Turbo. It has a lot of combos and his Shoryuken has a large range. Many people find that this is a purely offensive character, but some players have shown that it is not true. Ultra Combo is strong and can be easily use in combo.

Akuma

Devil came back and he’s very powerful. This is the most (next to Ken) chosen by a player from Europe. Its movements are similar to those we know from Street Fighter Third Strike. Make a lot of injuries, have a good priority, and his Super and Ultra combos can be very embarrassing. His weakness is poor stamina. This means that when He gets hit He will lose more energy than other characters. Moreover Akuma is one of the strongest character in the game.

Normal Moves

• p+MP – Overhead Chop

Classics. Hits two times.

• d+MK (in the air) – Dive Kick

You must jump forward and enter the sequence in the highest point.

Special Moves

• qcf+P – Gou Hadouken

This is a fireball, identical as in case of Ken or Ryu.

• qcf+P (in the air) – Zankuu Hadouken

• hcb+P – Shakunetsu Hadouken

This projectile is much faster than in Street Fighter Third Strike. Akuma is collecting thepower (takes a while) and release fireball. HP version hits three times, MP two LP once.

Can be also used in the air. If it hits, it will roll the enemy and if you push MK or HK, Akumawill hit couple of times. Use LK when you want to start the juggle. You can continue combowith HP Shoryuken.

Fei Long

Very fast character with a wide range of offensive moves. His Ultra Combo works even from a long distance i is very strong. The only problem Fei Long seems to be the range of his other moves. Holding opponents to a distance, can be a problem, so the key to success is to mixing attacks and keeping close to opponent.

Gouken

One of the strongest character in the game. He has impressive arsenal of attacks and has good defense. Throw Launcher is a very good juggle starter, which can be continued with specials. Hyaki Shu opens a few opportunities, and this coupled with Gouken high stamina, gives a very good, but difficult player.

Normal Moves

• t, LP+LK – Throw Launcher

Juggle starter, which in itself does not take energy. Good preparation for Ultra Combo and other combos.

Special Moves

• qcf+P – Gohadouken

By holding punch, we are loading fireball. In case of puched punch, projectile will go in twodifferent directions (Urien w SF3). LP version fly parallel to the ground and HP to up. MP is a combination of the two previous options.

• p, d, dp+P – Senkugoshoha • qcb+K – Tatsumaki Gorasen (armor breaking) • qcb+K (w powietrzu) – Tatsumaki Gorasen • t, d, dt+P lub K – Kongoshin

Identical move as Akuma emon Flip. You can continue when it hit:

• doing throw (LP+LK) • pressing K (Hyakkigojin) • pressing P (Hyakkigoshu) • pressing nothing (Hyakkigozan)

Ex Moves

Super Combo

Ultra Combo

Rose

Fay is still very good. Her Ultra Combo is very dangerous, even works on enemies that are in the air. She has a few strong attacks against flying opponents, and her throws take a lot of energy. The key to success is the appropriate timing and use of specials, because Rose combos are not too strong.

Normal Moves

• d+HP – Anti Air Punch

Very good attack for flying opponents. Can be easily a part of combo.

• d+MK – Crouching Medium Punch

Not so good as in SF Alpha but is still great combo starter.

• d+HK - Sweep

Good range and speed.

Special Moves

Not very useful fireball. Use MP version in combos because of power and the lowest delay.

This move do not “suck” Ex fireballs.

• t, dt, d, dp, p+2xP – Ex Soul Spark • d, dp, p+2xK – Ex Soul Spiral • d, dt, t+2xP – Ex Soul Reflect • p, d, dp+2xP – Ex Soul Throw

Super Combo

• d, dp, p, d, dp, p+3xP – Aura Soul Spark

Ultra Combo

• d, dp, p, d, dp, p+3xP – Illusion Spark

Combo • LP (crouching), LP (crouching), LP (crouching), Soul Spiral.



Sakura

Teen returns to the joy of the players. Her Ex Arcing Hurricane Kick is a great juggle starter, which in itself takes a lot of opponent energy, and in addition may be continued by Ultra Combo. Moreover, the most of her normal attacks, can be canceled by specials. They do not take major injuries and need a little "torment" to the decrease enemy bar.

Special Moves
