Knee Bazooka

"A forward-moving knee strike that's quick and difficult to counterattack. Can be performed while maintaining your backward charge."

—Street Fighter 6

The Knee Bazooka (二ーバズーカ, Nī Bazūka), sometimes Bazooka Knee, is one of Charlie Nash's and Guile's unique attacks.

Input

All appearances	or +
Street Fighter 6 (Modern)	+

Description

Executed by pressing either forward or backward and pressing Light Kick (or pressing back and Light Attack for Modern Control), the user performs a jumping knee strike towards the opponent.

Charlie's version in earlier editions of the Alpha series tend to share many of the properties of Guile's version while also covering slightly more distance. In Alpha 3, however, the attack is modified into something of a command dash while also retaining its attack properties.

In Street Fighter V, this move returns for both Nash and Guile.

Tactics

The move executes quickly, and is ideal for closing space. Due to the Knee Bazooka being executable with back and Light Kick, it is especially useful for allowing one to maintain a backwards charge while approaching the opponent via applying pressure on block as well as opening them up to frame-traps on hit or block.
