Description

"A special move that builds your Super Art Gauge for as long as the command used to perform it is held."
Street Fighter 6

Executed by pressing down twice and two punch buttons, Dee Jay grabs a pair of maracas and dances with them, restoring his Super Meter for as long as the button is held and the dance continues.

Tactics

While generally gimmicky as its long execution makes it difficult to safely perform against an aggressive opponent, it has a unique application in that it can be cancelled into following an Air Slasher. If Dee Jay gets hit, he does not suffer a Punish Counter as the Speedy Maracas is technically still active, only being a counter hit, which can throw some punish combos off.
