Saikyo-Style Kaihi Jutsu (サイキョー流回避術 lit. "Strongest Style Evasion Technique"?) is Dan's V-Reversal, introduced in Street Fighter V.

Input
Street Fighter V + (During guard)

Description

DanVReversal

Executed by charging backward, then pressing forward and all three punches after blocking an attack, Dan turns the other way and performs a back roll, tumbling underneath and behind his opponent. If no directional input or button is pressed, Dan wipes his forehead with relief before dropping back to his stance.

Tactics

Like most V-Reversals, the purpose is to stop opponent's pressure or to get out of tough situations. Dan's Saikyo-Style Kaihi Jutsu is a solid escape option. While it does not inflict gray life like other V-Reversals, it is a great way for Dan to get out of the corner, switching sides with his opponent so that they are in the corner instead.

Trivia

  • The move is an homage to both Dan's roll taunt and Zenpou Tenshin, the move from which the taunt was derived from.
    • It is also functionally and visually similar to a Guard Cancel Roll in The King of Fighters, being an invincible roll performed from a block and costing a resource.
