Spinning Bird Kick

The Spinning Bird Kick (スピニングバードキック, Supiningu Bādo Kikku, or 回鳥脚, Spinningu Badokyaku, literally meaning "Spinning Bird Kick") is one of Chun-Li's original attacks in the Street Fighter II series. Also known as Kaiten-teki Kaku Kyakushuu (literally "Rotating Crane Leg Kick"), it debuts along with Chun Li's other special move, the Hyakuretsukyaku, in Street Fighter II. This move also appears in Street Fighter: The Storytelling Game.

Description
Chun-Li jumps up, feet first in the air, and does a split. She then twirls her upside-down body and attacks, with her legs like helicopter blades. It is similar to Ryu and Ken's Tatsumaki Senpukyaku; if the opponent is standing, Chun-Li's feet will repeatedly hit the opponent in the face until the attack ends. Its controller input depends on whatever game Chun-Li was in, as shown above. A few games allowed Chun-Li to perform this move in the air.

The EX Special version introduced in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike does not move forward, instead remaining stationary and acting more as an anti-air reversal attack. If the opponent is standing just close enough to be hit by the move, they will be sucked in a vaccuum-like effect for additional hits.

Trivia

 * British rock band Arctic Monkeys released a song in 2007 titled "Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick."
 * The Spinning Bird Kick is referenced in Saints Row IV by Female Voice 1 (provided by Chun-Li's current voice actress, Laura Bailey). Occasionally, when using a taunt, the character will shout "Spinning Bird Punch!"
