Description[]
G hitting Cammy with a vicious knee to the chin using Shining President.
Executed by pressing Light Punch and Light Kick, (the throw command) near a crouching opponent. G first grabs his opponent by the back of the head. He then lifts his back leg above the ground before violently bringing it forward. G delivers a powerful knee strike to his opponent's chin that sends the flying across the stage, causing them to land back-first on the ground. If no directional input or button is pressed, G shakes his arm out before dropping back in his stance.
Tactics[]
This move inflicts slightly more damage than G's forward throw. It also deals the same amount of stun as his back throw. It is crucial to mix-up G's throws with his command grab to catch his opponent off-guard and break through their defenses. While Shining President normally inflicts less damage than his command grab, it has a faster recovery. If he catches his opponent jumping while avoiding his throws, he can keep the pressure on them while maintaining frame advantage and positioning.
