A Street Fighter II phantom throw compilation by me.

It contains rare footage of a famous and fabled Street Fighter II glitch: The Phantom throw.

Be on the lookout for other Street Fighter II glitch videos from me.

It's short and sweet, enjoy !


About the moves:

most moves rely on doing a standard player move with a joystick, but pressing two buttons instead instead of one.

the trick is to press one button slightly before the other.

early versions of street fighter 2 had this exploit.

this overloads the character control buffer and puts it to another position in the characters sprite/move map.

It's called move cancelling, sprite cancelling, or button cancelling.


a phantom throw is a sonic boom, but with fierce and roundhouse a little early.

handcuffs is a throw into a sonic kick, using strong and forward, with strong occurring early.

you can reset the game the same way as handcuffs, but with fierce and round house.


the only way out of handcuffs is the phantom throw ;)


glad you liked the vid (:, have fun practicing these as they require a lot of timing.

  • In UTC/Yellow Brick ...

    In UTC/Yellow Brick Road it was known as the touch of death.

    Now, the coolest thing I found to do with it was that you could counter the phantom throw/TOD with a timed Dhalsim flame that would look as though it were coming from his ass because he'd be sliding on his back as the flame came out.

    I remember lines goin out the door when this game first came out...guile had the coolest moves with the phantom throw(we just used top call it the invisible hand) and blacking out the screen,and freezing the other character, and best of all was when we found out how to unfreeze the characters...we would wait till the last minute before the time ran out...it used to piss people off something awefull!!

    Do that throw 4 times in a row at the start of the fight and I'll call that good. Oh, I should call it Perfect. Those were the good old days when everyone used to line up their quarters on the machine.

  • HOW TO TURN OFF THE ...

    HOW TO TURN OFF THE ORIGINAL SF2 ARCADE MACHINE. throw the character with med punch and quickly hold for a flash kick do the flash kick before the character you threw hits the floor and the machine will reset. i did this to people who fed the machine quarters while i was playing talking about im next...ha ha i would do this while playing Bison and just act like i didnt know what happened. i was a pro when this machine ate my allowance.
