The Edge ExPlay panel: Street Fighter IV’s Focus Attack

EDGE - Street Fighter uses six buttons, as I’m sure you all know. Two rows of three, with light, medium and heavy punches on the top, and kicks on the row below. When I was growing up playing Street Fighter II, I only ever pressed one of those buttons at a time. As time went on – and as Capcom settled into that groove of near-endless iteration, something like 14 games in as many years – that changed.

SF IV has been out for 3 years with 3 different iterations and he probably just figured out how to Focus Cancel and is impressed with himself!
