Description
Executed by pressing down and pressing Light Kick during a forward jump, Dee Jay does a quick knee strike as he descends toward the ground
Tactics

Knee Shot has a fast start up which makes it optimal for jump-ins and cross-ups against standing or crouching opponents. It also has a lengthy active frames, making it somewhat difficult for the opponent to anti-air without getting hit themselves. Additionally, performing Knee Shot during a forward jump shortens the trajectory of Dee Jay's descent. This can catch the opponent off-guard and force them to make a mistake, or keep them on their heels while Dee Jay continues to mount offensive pressure.
