Total Destruction

to activate, or  to use Total Destruction is Q|Q's third Super Art in the Street Fighter III series. Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing punch, the attack starts unusually: Q puts his hand over his face and rakes at his chest with the other hand. This turns the Super Gauge into a timer, and during this time Q flashes. Play continues as normal, but while the art is active Q can at any time use a powerful attack. This attack depends on the input.

Long Range


If a quarter-circle forward motion is performed and punch is pressed, Q will suddenly jump forward at the opponent and explode. This attack has decent range but can be blocked.



Close Range


If a quarter-circle forward motion is performed and kick is pressed, Q will grab the opponent and explode. This grab only works in extreme close quarters but is unblockable.

Additional Properties
thumb|300px|right|A demonstration of unusual properties Once Q explodes, he is knocked some distance from the opponent while still burning. Q can usually only explode once per use - whereupon the Super Gauge immediately empties and the timer ends

The attack also has some unusual properties; for starters, it does not immediately K.O. the opponent. Instead, the section of their Health Bar that they are about to lose will go red and quickly drain. Most of the time it drains so quickly as to make no difference; however in certain circumstances, Q can be KOed before the opponent's health completely drains.

Another unusual property is that although he usually can only explode once, when it trades hits it sometimes seems to not register as being used and Q can attempt an explosion again.
