Corpse Push

A corpse push is a tactic to physically move opponents in Street Fighter games.

Description
In modern games, every character has a different Walk and Dash speed. Games are programmed that the faster moving character physically moves the slower one if they are moving faster than said opponent. Every standing character will be pushed regardless of how slow their opponent moves. It should be noted that characters that are physically powerful such as Zangief and Abigail in canon do not have any advantage and usually smaller faster characters benefit from the tactic.

Tactics
Corpse Pushes are usually done after a knockdown. A Corpse Hop is about getting to the side prefered compared to an opponent but a Corpse Push is physically moving the opponent to a desired position. This is usually done when the opponent is near a corner due to stronger Corner Combos that can be performed on them and the positioning advantage forcing opponents to a corner provides. Usually for most character Cross Up attempts are not possible after the tactic however sometimes Shimmys are possible instead. If side switching isn't possible this tactic can help against Grappler style enemies to gain more walking space in a spacing battle.
