Special Moves

Special Moves (, lit. "Finishing Technique" or "Sure-Killing Art") are character specific attacks.

Description
Special Moves act as expanded moves and showcase the fighter's martial arts style and their specialty of offense when engaging combat.

Most Special Moves often require "Command Input" of motion controls with directional commands. The classic example of this is the Quarter Circle Forward Input (also called a 236) and a Button (e.g. punch). Relatively few "motionless" special moves exist in the series as a whole.
