Medium kick version

Shikusenheavy

Heavy kick version

Executed by performing a quarter-circle backward motion and kick in mid-air, Juri suddenly swoops down towards the opponent foot-first. How far forward the she travels is determined by the kick button pressed. If she finds her opponent, she can opt to follow up with two more kicks (the first is called the "2nd Impact") by pressing kick again, and if kick is pressed one more time, she will finish with a final kick called the "Third Strike" which sends the foe flying away.

The EX Special version automatically follows through to a Third Strike that bounces them off the wall, setting them up for juggles. This is a popular way to set up her Kaisen Dankairaku.

Despite being a dive kick, its angles and hitbox placements and its possible intent overall doesn't enable it to be as good of a crossup like with other diving moves, and works more as a punish tool from the air.

Updates

This attack was modified in Ultra Street Fighter IV: the normal version can now only be performed while jumping forward (similar to Cammy's Cannon Strike), and the EX special is no longer automatically follows through to the Third Strike kick (the player must manually enter the rest of the string). Like the EX Cannon Strike, the EX version can still be performed while jumping backwards.
