How to do the Rolling Attack on a leverless controller

Hold back to charge, then forward with punch. Same input as Sonic Boom.

  1. Hold Back to charge.
  2. Press Forward with Square (Punch).

Watch it slowed down, then press Try it and do it yourself with a controller or your keyboard (A, S, D and Space, or the arrow keys). Timing is not frame-accurate. The animation shows the order of presses; check exact timing in your game's training mode. The animation assumes the Capcom/Neutral SOCD mode (Left + Right = Neutral, Up + Down = Neutral), which is how the MICRO and SWORL ship. Game and character names belong to their owners.

Pro notes: Rolling Attack

Notation [4] 6 + P. Directions are written for a character facing right.

Keys you press vs what the game reads

Top row: the buttons you hold. Bottom row: the direction the game receives. No opposing directions are held together in this input, so every SOCD mode reads it the same way; diagonals are two keys read as one direction.

Frame and timing notes

  • Blanka's Rolling Attack is [4]6+P. Check SuperCombo's Blanka page or the training mode input display for its charge time; Guile's SF6 charge moves need 45f but other characters can differ.
  • Same hands as the Sonic Boom: lift Back as Forward + P lands. Back + Forward together reads as neutral in the shipping mode.

Leverless tips for the Rolling Attack

The finger map used here: ring finger on Back, middle finger on Down, index finger on Forward, right thumb on Up.

  • Same hands as the Sonic Boom: your ring finger holds Back, your index finger taps Forward with Punch.
  • Charge on Down-Back instead of Back and you stay crouch-blocking the whole time.
  • Lift Back fully before Forward. Back and Forward together read as neutral.
