All appearances Arcade Stick QCF+Arcade Button Kick(+Arcade Button Kick for follow-up)

Description[]

Hayagake

Hayagake in Super Street Fighter IV.

Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing kick, the user suddenly runs forward at full speed. If no further input is made, then they come to a stop when they reaches the opponent or the edge of the screen (or if hit). If, however, the kick button is pressed once more, then the user performs a follow-up attack.

What form this follow-up takes is determined by the kick button pressed at this point; the damage it does is determined by what kick button was used for the initial run. The EX Special version, introduced in Super Street Fighter IV, nets Guy Super Armor during the run, and the follow-up attack does more damage.

Kyuuteishi

Sudden Stop in the same game.

Sudden Stop[]

If Light Kick is pressed, the user comes to a Sudden Stop (急停止 Kyuuteishi?). This is useful for feints. For Young Zeku, this move is called Tozetsu.

Shadow Kick[]

If Medium Kick is pressed, the user performs the Shadow Kick (影すくい Kage Sukui?, Shadow Scoop), which is a long sliding kick. This attack must be blocked low. For Young Zeku, this move is called Ashikari (足刈り Ashikari?, Leg Reaper). Originally in Alpha/Zero 2 however, the move for Guy was rather unsafe on hit due to not knocking down and having a bit of recovery for a slide kick compared to others before it was buffed in later games.

Neck Flip[]

If Heavy Kick is pressed, the user performs the Neck Flip (首刈り Kubikari?, Neck Reaper), which is a sidelong wheel kick. This attack must be blocked high. It can also be used as an anti-air.

For Young Zeku, this move is called Gekkou. He leaps into the air and performs an axe kick. During the kick, a trail of energy projecting from Zeku's foot creates a black slashing wave. A high-pitched, slashing sound of a sword plays as Zeku kicks. Similar to Neck Flip, this attack is an overhead and can be used to break through the opponent's defenses when they're constantly crouch blocking.
