Description

Dan hoisting Cammy over his shoulder using Saikyo Haraigoshi.

Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) and pushing backwards near an opponent. Dan first grabs his opponent by the collar with one hand. He uses his other hand to grab their wrist. Dan then turns the other way and unsuccessfully tries to throw his opponent over his shoulder on the first attempt. However, he take a big step forward and uses the extra momentum to pull his opponent over his shoulder, flipping them over and causing them to land on their back. If no directional input or button is pressed after the throw, Dan briefly wipes his nose before dropping back to his stance.

Tactics

This move is good for putting his opponent back in the corner. It also inflicts more damage and stun than his forward throw. Saikyo Haraigoshi is good tool to use if his opponent is close to stun. If Dan can pressure his opponent with his strong normals and special moves, he can use this move to break through their defenses. However, he won't be in position to reapply pressure due to the spacing of his back throw. Despite the separation, Dan can fish for Crush Counters with his Standing Heavy Punch or keep his opponent at a distance with a regular or fully charged projectile.
