Description[]
Kimberly striking Cammy across the face during Ripcord Throw.
- "Break your opponent's poise with a chop, leap over them to disrupt their balance, and toss them aside. Throws your opponent without switching places with them."
- —Street Fighter 6
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (or the Light Attack and Medium Attack for Modern Control) near an opponent. After grabbing the opponent by the wrist, Kimberly smacks her opponent with a chop across the face to momentarily stun them. She then rolls over her opponent while hooking one of her arms underneath their armpit and placing her hand over their chest. Kimberly rotates her body to flip her opponent over, causing them to crash on their stomach.
Tactics[]
Kimberly throwing Cammy during Ripcord Throw.
While Kimberly's gameplan is to close the distance and maintain offensive pressure with her mix-ups and quick attacks, her throws are essential to break through their defenses. Ripcord Throw is useful to pushing her opponent closer to the corner. She can also follow up with a Drive Rush and force her opponent to guess her next move. When combined with her Shuriken Bomb, her forward throw can be used to start off combos if timed correctly. Even if her opponent breaks away from the throw, they still have to contend with a bomb that's still on the screen while Kimberly can keep her offense going.
