Remember to reverse the commands if on the left side of the screen.

(button layout and effect) LP MP HP Light Punch Medium Punch Hard Punch LK MK HK Light Kick Medium Kick Hard Kick

------FAQ NOTATION ------qcf / hcf - Input (d,df,f) or (b,db,d,df) on the controller. qcb / hcb - Input (d,db,b) or (f,df,d,db) on the controller. Rotate 360 / 720 - Rotate the controller in a full circle or two full circles. The shorthand method to do this is to input (f,df,d,db,b,ub,u) or the reverse. There is no shorthand method for a 720, though. Charge b,f / d,u - Hold in one direction for two seconds, then press in the second direction and press the button listed (P or K). PPP / KKK - Press all three punches or kicks simultaneously. MP~HK - MP, MK, HP, or HK can be used for this move. EX - The special move can be EX'ed. All EX moves are performed by doing a joystick motion and pressing two punches or kicks with 1/4 of the super meter full. UC - Ultra , can only be done when half the revenge gauge is full. AB - Armor Breaker, breaks all super armor from saving attacks and certain special moves. (?) - I'm not certain about how the move in question works. ------BASIC MOVESLIST ------Standing Block Hold b when attacked Crouching Block Hold db when attacked Forward Dash Tap f,f Backward Dash Tap b,b High Jump Tap db,uf / d,u / df,ub Quick Standing When knocked down, tap d as you land Tech Throw When thrown, press LP + LK (air) Throws and Holds When close, press (b / f +) LP + LK Saving Attack* Press MP + MK Appeal Press HP + HK *Known as the Focus Attack in the US ======2. CHARACTER MOVELISTS ======Characters are listed in group listing order. The character's titles that come after each person's name are from the official Capcom Street Fighter IV website. If you recognize that a move is incorrectly translated into English or if the romaji is off, please let me know. One other thing is that I'm using the original Japanese names so Gouki = , M. Bison = Balrog (boxer), Balrog = Vega (claw), and Vega = M. Bison (dictator). Moves are listed in this order; throws, focus attack, command normals, their appeal (taunt), special moves, super combo, and the ultra combo. For the target combo listings, you stay standing or crouching throughout the whole thing, unless it says otherwise. ------ABEL, Man Without a Past ------

======4. AUTHOR'S NOTE ======------Help Contribute to this FAQ ------Any help you guys could give would be really great. If you have any comments or contributions, feel free to send them to my e-mail address listed in the disclaimer. If you've seen this guide reprinted in a magazine or on a website other than GameFAQs or Capcom Unity, please let me know - thanks.

------SPECIAL THANKS ------Capcom of Japan

- Once again you guys never cease to amaze me! Got the commands for all 16 default characters from their awesome SF4 site. Without them there'd be no proper FAQ, or game for that matter. Seth Killian - Thank you for posting my FAQ and for simply being a cool community manager. Folks at Shoryuken - For awesome game data, which I can hopefully glean more of later on... Big thanks to Jinrai, Kunai, and Azarael for their insight on the game system. The Golden Gunman - Big thanks to you and all who contributed to your uber cool system guide. Sacramento State University - Thank you for FINALLY releasing me from your edu-prison and allowing me to concentrate on more pressing matters (like this FAQ). Feels good to graduate from college by the way. DO IT! Just remember, brush your greens, eat your teeth, stay in milk, drink your school, don't do sleep, and get your eight hours of drugs. That's what 7 years of indoctrination will do to you. But now I've got the freedom to write! Yay! Chris McDonald - You set the bar for FAQs all over. You're definitely missed man! Know you would've loved writing this thing. Your format - let me stealz it! LOL!!! The format's an homage to you man! Vasili10 - An awesome man who really knows his Japanese. Came to him for a number of things: Move list translations was a huge portion and that's something many FAQs just don't get right. Helped me debunk the marqee myth of Chun Li's ultra (Houkyokusen vs. Housenka). Abby Estebat - When I was desperate on 7/22/2008 she let me use your computer to get the move list pics while at work. Abby, you're a serious savagely savage warrior princess in my book. Da kuulist pursin evar @ wurk!!! Jishop - Really helped with some of the translations to English. Thanks to it I found out that dragon + rolling = (tatsumaki) tornado. Guess it makes sense though, if you think with an eastern mindset. Jeffrey's J <-> E Dictionary - An excellent online dictionary to help out with translating some of the Japanese terms into English. T. Lang's mom - For her awesome knowledge of French (Marseilles vs. Marseileux).

------REVISION HISTORY ------Version 0.2 (August 16, 2008) - Added translations - painstaking work >_< Version 0.1 (July 22, 2008) - Put in all playable characters' moves listed from the Japanese SF4 website. It's bare bones right now. As time goes we'll see more revisions, I'm sure! Unpublished work Copyright 2008 Torrence Lang
