Sonic the Fighters has a different system for special attacks:
* Special Moves: These are unique to each character and activated by pressing two buttons simultaneously (e.g., punch + kick).
* Super Moves: These are powerful attacks that can be activated by filling a meter, usually by landing attacks or blocking. They are also character-specific.
If you are thinking of another fighting game with a "Hyper" mechanic, you might be thinking of a game like Street Fighter Alpha or Street Fighter III, where characters have a "Super Combo" gauge that allows them to unleash powerful special moves.
