Description[]
Executed by pressing down-forward and Heavy Kick, Guy plants a foot on the opponent and then performs a back flip kick. It can be used to strike from a slight distance as a form of in-and-out poke.
Etymology[]
The move shares its name with Kamaitachi, a Japanese yōkai that resembles a weasel.

Trivia[]
- This move ends the Bushin Muso Renge in the Street Fighter Alpha series.
- This move is not to be confused with Hayate's Kamaitachi from the EX series, which is a different special move instead.
- In Alpha/Zero 2, a programming oversight caused this move to be unsafe even on hit, which lead to dubious theories on its actual purpose and utility. It has however, since been buffed in later games.
