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.
