Hien



Hien is one of Ibuki's special attacks. Executed by pressing back, down, down-back and kick, the attack sees Ibuki jump forward, kick out, and (if it comes into contact with the opponent) kick-jump away to a safe distance. The amount of distance the jump covers and damage done are determined by the kick button pressed: light kick has the least, heavy kick has the most, and medium kick is somewhere in between. There is also an EX Special version which auto-targets the opponent's head for her, can travel the entire width of the screen, does more damage, knocks the opponent down and causes Ibuki to land behind them. The attack is extremely safe, even on block, but only if it finds the opponent - otherwise Ibuki lands as usual and cannot kick-jump to safety.
