If you were button mashing in the ’90s, you are likely familiar with the original 3-button Sega Mega Drive pad (or Sega Genesis in North America). When Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition was released, a 6-button controller was launched simultaneously. Which makes sense. Street Fighter is a 6-button game. I mean, only a true masochist would play that on a 3-button pad, right? Right?
And that’s where desk, arguably the FGC’s most creative combo video creator, steps into frame. You see, the 3-button pad defaults to all punches. To switch to kicks, you have to hit the Start Button. And this is where desk’s challenge comes in: to perform normally standard (and not-standard!) combos with the additional hurdle of constantly having to hit start between hits.
