Zilant (ジラント, Jiranto^?) is one of JP's target combos, introduced in Street Fighter 6.

Classic	>
Modern	>

Description

Executed by pressing Heavy Kick, followed by Heavy Punch, JP delivers a high sidekick to the opponent's head. If the first attack connects, JP then swings his cane forward with a spinning flourish.

From there, JP can transition into either:

Zilant Mid

"An overhead attack performed out of Zilant that cannot be blocked crouching."

—Street Fighter 6

Input

Modern	>>

By pressing Heavy Punch after the first two hits of Zilant, JP performs the Zilant Mid (ジラントルカー, Jiranto Rukā^?). JP delivers an overhead attack using his cane, slashing it down like a sword.

Zilant Low

"A low attack performed out of Zilant that cannot be blocked standing."

—Street Fighter 6

Input

Classic	>>
Modern	>>+

By pressing Heavy Kick after the first two hits of Zilant, JP performs the Zilant Low (ジラントナガー, Jiranto Nagā^?). JP whacks his opponent's knee with his staff.

Tactics

Zilant is safe on block and cancellable, making it a key component in JP's neutral and combo game. Zilant Mid and Zilant Low do not combo on hit, making them more of a surprise option to compliment his special attack cancels, though both are also too slow to beat out any mashed buttons.

Trivia

• Zilant (Зилант) is Russian for "snake". The high and low follow ups are Ruká (рука́), "hand" and Naga (нога), "leg".
