Slide 720 on a leverless controller

Slide Forward, Down, Back; tap Up; slide Back, Down, Forward; punch. Tap Up fast or you will jump.

  1. Press Forward.
  2. Press Down.
  3. Press Back.
  4. Press Up.
  5. Press Back.
  6. Press Down.
  7. 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: Slide 720

Notation 6, 2, 4, 8, 4, 2, 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

  • Seven cardinal inputs, no diagonals: 6, 2, 4, 8, 4, 2, 6 with the punch on the last Forward. Tap Up and release at once or the character jumps.
  • Buffer the motion during another move or a jump so the Up never leaves the ground. Verify in SF6 training mode with Zangief's SA3 input history.

Leverless tips for the Slide 720

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

  • Two sweeps across the left-hand buttons with a quick Up tap in between.
  • Tap Up and let go at once. Holding it makes the character jump before the motion finishes.
