"Lunge forward with a powerful attack. Can be used to absorb an opponent's attack while launching your own offensive."
—Description, Street Fighter 6

The Flame Strike (焔撃ち En Uchi?) is Ken's Drive Impact, introduced in Street Fighter 6.

Input
Classic Arcade-Button-HPunch+Arcade-Button-HKick
Modern Modern dl

Description[]

Executed by pressing Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick simultaneously (or pressing Drive Impact for Modern Control), Ken steps forward for a hook using his front hand.

Tactics[]

Like all Drive Impacts, Flame Strike has 2-hits of armor during the startup frames. This makes it useful to absorb the opponent's attacks and retaliating as they are recovering. Hitting the opponent with Flame Strike as a Punish Counter puts them crumple state on hit, giving Ken enough time to start a damaging combo. In the middle of the screen, this move can push the opponent back on block. This allows Ken to create separation and maintain offensive pressure with fireballs.
