Description
In the realm of fighting games, a Standing 720 is a complex and skill-intensive maneuver that involves executing a full 720-degree rotation input on the joystick or D-pad, allowing the character to perform a powerful spinning attack from a standing position. This move is particularly challenging because it demands precise and rapid input without the intermediate step of jumping, which is traditionally how such moves are executed. Mastering the Standing 720 requires exceptional dexterity and timing, making it a hallmark of high-level play and a display of technical prowess in competitive gaming.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter' series, Zangief's 'Final Atomic Buster' can be executed as a Standing 720, showcasing the player's advanced skill level.
- In 'King of Fighters', grappler characters like Clark Still have moves that can be performed with a Standing 720 input, demonstrating the player's ability to control complex inputs quickly.
Additional Information

- Achieving a Standing 720 can be highly rewarding, both in terms of damage dealt and the psychological advantage gained over the opponent.
