Meteor Combos (メテオ コンボ Meteo Konbo?) are the ultimate attacks of characters in the Street Fighter EX series, introduced in Street Fighter EX plus a.
Description[]
Meteor Combos can be executed only when the player has all completely filled the Super Combo Gauge. Each character has their own unique attack.
In Street Fighter EX3, Meteor Tag Combos were introduced, since it was a tag-team based game. The Meteor Tag Combos require the same amount of bars as a regular Meteor Combo in order to be executed, but can only be done when certain characters are picked together in a team. However, with the exception of the Zangief/Darun Meteor Combo, the input of the tag team combo itself can only be executed by one character of the team.
These act as a possible precursor for the more contemporary "Ultra Combos" in Street Fighter IV and its revisions.
