The Rekka: When One Punch Isn't Enough
In this video essay, I break down one of fighting games’ most iconic mechanics: the multi-hit special attack string known as the rekka. I trace its origins from before the word existed, to Fei Long in Street Fighter II, who cemented the term and forever changed how players think about offense, to modern examples in Granblue, Guilty Gear, and King of Fighters. 0:00 Introduction 2:19 Part 1: Scissor Kicks 5:07 Part 2: Fei Long 8:13 Part 3: Order of the White Dragons 11:55 Part 4: Gapless P Rekka 15:54 Part 5: Perfunctory♥ 19:21 Closing Thoughts Music used (in order of appearance): Super Street Fighter II - Fei Long Theme Karnov's Revenge - Mizoguchi's Theme Super Street Fighter 4 - Fei Long Theme Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising - Lancelot's Theme Guilty Gear Strive - Elphelt's Theme King of Fighter's XV - Angel Reveal Theme Jetset Radio - Sneakmean #fightinggames #streetfighter #fgc
