Description
Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing all three punch buttons, Viper deactivates her glove's limiter and charges before pounding the ground, causing an electric explosion that knocks her opponent into the air. As they begin to fall to the ground, she delivers a series of four high-damage flaming somersault kicks to the opponent.
Tactics
The move is well-known for its combo potential (e.g. Seismic Hammer to Burning Kick juggle, or fierce Thunder Knuckle air juggle) and blocking difficulty (as it can only be blocked low), but also has very strict timing. However, if the opponent avoided the first hit by jumping, the four kicks can hit them as an anti-air.
Changes
Since Ultra Street Fighter IV, the visual smoke effects from the explosion when Viper pounds the ground were reduced in size, making it easier for opponents to punish Viper if the attack did not connect with them.
