Inputs

Command inputs are the "directions" for the use of attacks in the Street Fighter series.

Description
An input is simply a combination of buttons. Each attack has a 'type' of input to go with it, depending on the attack in question. Detailed below are the various type of inputs used in the series.

'Simple' Input


Above is an example of what a unique attack's input looks like - a simple direction (right), and a button (medium punch). For the most part, unique attack commands require specific buttons.

'Complex' Input


The above input is that of the Shoryuken, a special attack. 'Complex' inputs like these require a 'complex' direction (forward, down, down-forward) and a button (punch). Special attacks have properties that vary based on the specific button pressed; a light punch Shoryuken will have less height than a heavy punch Shoryuken, for example.
