Description

Ken moves forward and delivers a low roundhouse kick, two high ones, and another low one, and follows up with a knee hit. He then launches into a vertical Tatsumaki Senpukyaku if his knee hit succeeds. In Capcom vs. SNK and SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, Ken attempts to perform one low and one high kick, then performs a high-out kick and an Inazuma Kick, then hits with his knee, changes to his other knee and performs the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.

In Street Fighter X Tekken, the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku takes on electrical effects, a reference to the move's Japanese name.

Tactics

The Street Fighter III version has the advantage of being able to follow up a missed first attempt immediately with another one. If the opponent blocks and attempts to punish the first one, they may find themselves on the receiving end of the second; this maintains a level of deterrent and makes the attack safer to use than it would otherwise be, as the opponent will be afraid to attempt to counterattack.
