There are many refinements from Street Fighter II 's gameplay. These include air blocking, crouch walking, and chain combos. The game also featured a special meter that could be filled to preform a powerful move. If the player manages to fill the special meter all the way, the player gains access to more powerful special moves that would reset the special meter. Once filled however, the meter will begin decreasing down to zero only giving the player a limited amount of time to actually use any special moves that required the meter.
