360 Degree Motion

The 360 Degree Motion is one of many different motions used for special moves

The 360 Degree Motion is a common motion assigned to command grabs such as Zangief's Spinning Piledriver and T. Hawk's Mexican Typhoon. Despite the name, the 360 is only a 360 in its icon (which is an arrow covered the entire circle!); to perform a 360, you only need to hit 6 directions on a joystick. For example, you can get a 360 degree motion by hitting Forward, Down Forward, Down, Down Back, Back, then Up Back, then pressing a punch button to get the destined attack.

The punch button press needs to be done very quickly so you do not start jumping while trying to input the motion. A good way to practice this motion is by buffering it by performing it during a dash or other attack, or by buffering it during a jump.
