Neck Breaker



The Neck Breaker is one of Ibuki's special attacks. Executed by performing a half-circle forward motion and pressing punch, the attack sees Ibuki slide along the ground toward her opponent. If she comes into contact with an opponent who isn't blocking low, she will jump behind them and twist their head. The opponent is sent flying and Ibuki hops to a safe distance. How far the initial slide goes is determined by the punch button pressed; light punch travels the least while heavy punch travels the furthest, with medium punch in between. In Super Street Fighter IV, each of these versions inflicts 140 damage; there is also an EX Special version which twists the opponent's head three times in quick succession, inflicts 160 damage and sees Ibuki jumping a much further distance away afterward.
