Flying Buster Chop

The Flying Buster Chop is one of Guile's throws in Street Fighter V.

Description


Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) and pushing backwards while Guile and his opponent are near each other in the air. When Guile's in midair, he turns his opponent around and wraps his hands around their sides. As Guile lifts his opponent up so that their back is resting on his shoulder, he drops to the ground. Guile lands on the ground, jarring his opponent's back by driving their spine into the his shoulder. Guile finishes the throw by bridging with his back and legs, hoisting his opponent over his bodyand slamming them shoulders and back-first into the ground.

Tactics
Just like Flash Kick, this move can be used as one of Guile's anti-air tools. If he gets a good read and anticipates his opponent's jump, he can use her air throw to make it difficult for them to escape. Guile can also use this move to put his opponent back in the corner. It also does more damage than his ground throws and slightly more than his Flying Mare air throw.

If Guile doesn't have enough time to charge up for a Flash Kick, he can stuff his opponent's jump-in attempts with a surprise air throw to create some space, thus resetting the neutral game. After the air throw, Guile can continue zoning out his opponent with fireballs.

Trivia

 * This move is arguably based off of a few wrestling move.
 * The first part of the air throw shows Guile putting his opponent in an Inverted Candaian Backbreaker Rack.
 * The second part of the throw is based on a popular wrestling throw called the Overhead Gutwrench Backbreaker Drop. Former WWE Superstar, Matt Bloom (aka Albert, A-Train, or Tensai) used this move as his Finisher.
 * Guile's third part of the throw uses another popular wrestling throw known as the German Suplex.
