Check the move list for your specific character in the game menu. Each character has unique inputs for their special moves. Happy combo-ing!
Just google the move list for your character. Trust me, it helps more than guessing!
I recommend starting with basic characters like Ryu or Ken. Their moves are simpler and easier to learn!
For Ryu's Hadoken, for example, press down, down-forward, forward, and punch. Timing and practice are key!
