How do I script Street Fighter style movement?

I’m relatively new to scripting, but I’m looking to create controls for a fighting game.

I wish to have a 2D, side view control scheme(using Joystick axes, setup in Input Manager), where Horizontal-/+ equal move left/right, and Vertical-/+ crouch/jump respectively.
Street Fighter style controls, essentially.

What would be the simplest way to go about this?

Examples are welcome :slight_smile:

Unity Input Reference

You can move GameObjects in 2d space in different ways, you can change the x,y,z position of your objects, use translation or physics.

There are a lot of Unity tutorials out there, most of which will cover simple move mechanics early on. Good luck!
