Description
Cammy's Cannon Spike against Ryu in Street Fighter IV.
Cannon Spike/Thrust Kick, as seen in Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival.
Executed by performing a "Shoryuken" motion (forward, downward then down-forward) and pressing kick, the user launches in the air leg-first for a singular, powerful strike that often over powers any aerial strike. Upon impact, they flip backward a relatively safe distance, though some games increase the length of their recovery animation to increase chance of retaliation. Its EX Special version has even less startup time, covers a longer horizontal distance and is completely invulnerable.

Trivia
- In the 1994 Street Fighter movie, Cammy can be heard yelling "Thrust Kick!" while fighting soldiers near the end of the film, though she's doing a standard kick at the time.
- A multi-directional shooter arcade game named Cannon Spike (known as Gunspike in Japan) was released in 2000. Cammy and Charlie are two of the playable characters in the game.
