Can you do Sui in FIFA? A Guide to Unlocking and Perfecting Ronaldo‘s Signature Goal Celebration

As a long-time FIFA gamer, few things feel better than running down the pitch and slotting home a match-winning goal. But the joy isn‘t over yet! The celebration after scoring is just as important for that perfect gaming moment. And there‘s no celebration that tops Cristiano Ronaldo‘s iconic "Siii" or "Siu." As a data analyst and FIFA expert, let me guide you through mastering Ronaldo‘s famous goal celebration in FIFA video games.

The Origins and Significance of Ronaldo‘s ‘Sui‘ Celebration

First, let‘s understand where this celebration comes from and why it‘s so iconic.

The ‘Sui‘ celebration involves Ronaldo jumping high, spinning 180 degrees vertically, and landing in a power stance shouting "Siii!". It originated when he was at Real Madrid and would shout "Si!" which means "Yes!" in Spanish after every goal or victory.

According to Ronaldo himself, the first time he did the full ‘Sui‘ celebration was in January 2013 after scoring in a 2-0 win against Malaga in the La Liga. And over the years, it has become CR7‘s trademark goal celebration, as synonymous with Ronaldo as Messi‘s is with him raising his arms aloft.

The ‘Sui‘ encapsulates Ronaldo‘s brand – energetic, powerful, and victorious. Fans worldwide imitate his distinctive jump and swirling arms while yelling "Siiii" themselves. And players like Mbappe have adopted similar celebratory moves as a homage to arguably football‘s greatest showman.

So when EA Sports finally introduced Ronaldo‘s iconic ‘Sui‘ into FIFA games starting FIFA 18, it was a defining moment that made virtual football celebrations feel truly authentic!

How To Execute ‘Sui‘ in FIFA Games Over the Years

Ever since its introduction in 2017‘s FIFA 18, triggering the ‘Sui‘ celebration has been a rite of passage for fans. Here‘s how it has worked across recent FIFA games:

Let‘s look at the controls in more detail:

FIFA 23 (2022)

• PS4/PS5: Hold R2 + Flick right stick up twice

• PC: Hold Right Shift + Press D twice

FIFA 22 (2021)
