Description[]
Executed by pressing back and Medium Punch, Ken delivers a punch into the chest region.
In Street Fighter 6, Chin Buster is no longer a command normal, having been retooled into his standing medium punch,
Tactics[]
This is one of Ken's fastest attacks. Not only is it fast, but it also does more damage than the ideal Medium Punch. Despite having short range, Ken can use this move to follow up with a target combo on hit, plus link into one of his special moves, such as Tatsumaki Senpukyaku and Shoryuken. It can also be followed up with a Heavy Punch to perform Chin Buster 2nd.
Due to Chin Buster is now Ken's standing medium punch in Street Fighter 6, the startup frame is considerably slower than it's original incarnation but otherwise identical in form and function. Though the simplified input does allows Ken to chain his medium punch into itself for an easier access to Chin Buster 2nd.
