Description
Gill holding Cammy by the head using Impact Claw.
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) near an opponent. Gill first grabs his opponent by the back of the head and lifts them up so that their feet are off of the ground. Gill then proceeds to simultaneously shake his opponent's head while squeezing tight with his hand to crush their skull. After the third squeeze, he throws his opponent across the stage, causing them to land stomach-first on the ground.
Tactics
This move is Gill's primary throw in most situations. Impact Claw inflicts the same amount of damage and stun as his back throw. While his back throw does gain more meter on hit, his forward throw puts Gill in a more advantageous position. His Impact Claw is limited due to the spacing between him and his opponent on hit. However, he can follow-up with a mid-range meaty Standing Heavy Punch for a respectable hit-confirm combo. Another follow-up option for Gill is that he can use his first V-Skill to apply pressure on his opponent's wake-up as the fire/ice projectile descends toward the ground.
Trivia
- As this was formerly part of Urien's move-list, it's likely that he did not learn this move before the events of Street Fighter III.
