Knee Hammer

The Knee Hammer is one Zangief's unique attacks, introduced in Street Fighter V.

Description
Executed by forward and Medium Kick, Zangief performs a short, jumping knee strike.

Tactics
This move is a good way to get in quick on the opponent. Zangief will momentarily be in the air during this move, making it useful to whiff punish low attacks. This attack will move Zangief a little bit forward and closer to his opponent. Additionally, if this attack hits, Zangief will be close enough to perform his command throws. This move can also be canceled into his Critical Art.
