Hyper Combo

A Hyper Combo is a type of Super Meter application in Street Fighter VERSUS. To put them in short terms, a Hyper Combo is a Super Combo that can only be performed with 3 or more levels of Super Meter.

Hyper Combos tend to be among the, if not the most, damaging moves a character has available and are not affected by damage scaling, making them very powerful indeed. They make great attacks to finish an opponent off with or just need to do something with a massive pile of meter you may be sitting on.

Not every character has a Hyper Combo, but a lot of characters do have them. Dan and Yun are also the only characters who have two of these (Shissho Buraiken and Otoko Michi for the former and Genei Jin and You Hou for the latter), and all of Oro's Super Combos can be upgraded into Hyper Combos by pressing two punch or kick buttons while performing them. Quite a few Hyper Combos, such as the aforementioned Genei Jin and Urien's Aegis Reflector are not direct attacks, but can be tools, counters, throws or other weird things.

Trivia

 * Hyper Combos are named as such as a homage to the official names for supers in the Marvel vs. Capcom and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom series... a Hyper Combo.
 * In early stages of development they were referred to as Ultra Combos.
