Hyakuretsukyaku



Name: Lightning Kick (百裂脚, Hyakuretsukyaku, literally "Hundred Rending Leg")

User: Chun-Li, Seth

Debut: Street Fighter II

Lightning Kick is Chun-Li's most famous attack. This has been her signature move ever since it's first appearance in the original Street Fighter II, and is quite deadly. This move is similar to E. Honda's Hundred Hand Slap, as it works in a very similar function. As per the name, the move itself is Chun-Li standing one leg and kicking rapidly, or "at the speed of lightning", with her other leg extended out.

Executed by rapidly and repeatedly tapping any kick button, Chun-Li can kick an opponent repeatedly, with incredible speed and power. These several hits can add up to an impressive amount of damage when not blocked, and does a small amount of Chip Damage even when blocked. In earlier SFII games, if most of the hits connect unblocked, they could give the foe a dizzy status. This move is considered it's deadliest when used against a cornered foe due to the limited amount of space to escape it, even when blocked.

In the Vs. series games, Chun-Li gains the ability to perform the Lightning Kick in midair.

In Street Fighter 4 the final boss Seth also uses a variation of this move, although it uses a different command,   with a different style too, instead of kicking miltiple times, seth kicks the opponent with a heavy kick, wich will make  them loses their balance and then he will hit them with a very quick kick, and he will bend he's leg, while the opponent will shake violently getting hit 14 times, wich will make it 16 hits in total, seth will slide when performing the heavy kick, the slide range depends on the kick button that is pressed, light kick won't make slide or will make him slide a little, while the heavy punch will make him slide longer, and the medium is somewhere in between; there's also an EX version of this attack, and it will make seth slide farther, there's also a glitch know in this move and it's called Akuma's Seizure.
