Joudan Sokutogeri



The High-Blade Leg Kick, also known as the Joudan-Sokutou-Geri, is one of Ryu's special attacks, but only in certain games. Executed by performing a half-circle forward motion and pressing kick. the attack is a simple (yet strong) forward-stepping side kick. If it hits, the opponent is sent flying. The attack is rather slow and relatively easy to parry; thus, it is not used often.

The EX version bounces the opponent off the wall, which allows Ryu to juggle afterwards.
