Description
Executed by pressing down-forward and Heavy Kick, Sakura sidesteps toward her opponent and performs a high kick. This is essentially one of her classic standing kick normals now repurposed into a unique attack/command normal.
Tactics
While not Sakura's most reliable anti-air due to its slower startup and shorter range, Chin Buster Kick causes a juggle if it hits an airborne opponent, letting her follow up with moves like her Shouoken for extra damage. The move is also great during her opponent's wake-up. It is +2 on block, making it one of Sakura's safest attacks. It is also +4 on hit, allowing her to link into her Crouching or Standing Light Punch for a follow-up combo.
Chin Buster Kick inflicts the same amount of damage and stun as her Furiko Upper. It also forces her opponent into a standing position on hit. She can also cancel this unique attack into her V-Trigger. Whether this attack is blocked or hits the opponent, Sakura has tremendous frame advantage when canceling into V-Trigger.
Trivia
- This move was originally Sakura's standing Medium Kick in Street Fighter Alpha 2 and close standing Heavy Kick in Street Fighter Alpha 3 onwards.
