The priority order is as shown below:. By exploiting this mechanic, the player gains an extra frame to hit the next move in a combo, which potentially doubles the chance of landing one-frame links. Plinking is done by quickly pressing two or more buttons exactly one frame apart in priority descending order.

This can be done by rolling one's fingers across two button, almost hitting them simultaneously. Because of input priority, the game makes first input come out either at the frame where the first button is pressed or at the next frame when second button is pressed, effectively extending the input window.

However, characters cannot plink from their Light Punch without using the select button, as it is the only button of a lower input priority than a Light Punch.

This means that certain characters with one-frame links involving Light Punches cannot use plinking to their advantage. Street Fighter Wiki Explore. Street Fighter. Bison Sagat Ibuki More Crossover Games. One, it is almost physically impossible to do so.

Two, if you tap the same button that rapidly, the game thinks that the button is being held down and ignores the second input. Plinking essentially jars the system by adding another input and allows the system to register the second input of the higher priority command.

It's possible the second input of the first command is due to negative edge, but this is currently unverified. When done successfully the inputs should appear like this: Notice how the first input is registered twice?

This is what adds that extra frame to the one-frame window used in many difficult links. Because of the priority system, the lesser input MP is ignored in favor of the higher input HP. This principle applies to any input and any combination of inputs, allowing for a large amount of plinking possibilities. Light punch has priority over nothing, so it cannot be plinked.

This technique is a plink that utilizes three buttons instead of two.
