There’s already 16 fighters to choose from in the newly unleashed Street Fighter 5, with even more coming on the horizon. As usual, many of these characters have an aversion to functional clothing and a love of outlandish hair, not to mention some truly unusual fighting styles.
If you want to master each character and take on friends and foes through online matchmaking, you need to know their basic moves and more advanced combos ahead of time.
Below you can find full moves lists for utilizing the new character Laura, the long-running villain M. Bison, the Guile-based sonic booming Nash, and rage-filled fighter Necalli. All moves are listed assuming you are facing right – when facing left, reverse the movement directions.
