Vs181024-030

You Hou vs Ibuki

Yun sets himself in a motionless stance for a second and delivers an upward arm lash (his close standing heavy punch) to the opponent, then a Tetsuzanko which knocks them into the air. As they fall back down, he firmly plants his forward foot and delivers a devastating upward punch with explosive force at the haplessly falling opponent.

In the Street Fighter IV series, the move starts with a cross arm stance, and adds a forward stepping elbow strike to the chest (a la Gaimon Chouchuu, his far standing medium punch) in-between the arm lash and Tetsuzanko. Yun will perform the whole attack regardless of whether the Ultra cinematic plays out or not, but it will do less damage if the opponent is hit without the cinematic, which also occurs if the move is done under the effects of the Genei Jin.

The upward punch itself also varies between iterations; in both the Street Fighter III and Street Fighter IV games, Yun's leading arm is more erect and his free arm is placed more across himself. In Capcom vs. SNK 2 and the later ports of Alpha/Zero 3, Yun's leading arm is instead bent via smacking his falling foe with a semi-backfist motion of sorts.

Tactics[]

This attack is often used for the potential amount of juggles it can set up and end; however, it has quite a short range. It is thus mainly used in close-quarters as a combo starter, finisher and/or a frame trap due to the startup invincibility.

In the Street Fighter IV series, it is possible to juggle the foe (without triggering the animation) and set up follow-up similar to the Street Fighter III series incarnation; however, the timing for this is tricky, normally due to the move being used in tandem with Genei Jin and the resulting conflict from each of the afterimages' timing.

Trivia[]

  • Miyako Arima from Kagetsu Tohya in the Melty Blood games has her own version of the move that can be performed from her version of the Tetsuzanko as a special move (or as a command normal in some installments).
    • Akira Yuuki from Virtua Fighter also has his version as a separate command, but done with stepping in unison with the following foot instead of the leading foot instead.
    • Hong Meiling from the Touhou Project series in the Tasogare Frontier-developed fighting games has a variation dubbed as the Kouhou (紅砲? "Crimson Cannon"), with red-colored chi/qi/ki emerging as a brief sphere from her fist, but with no stomp motion involved.
    • Michelle and Julia Chang from the Tekken series have multiple variations of this type of attack, such as:
      • Twisting Arrow Cannon AKA Daiten Housui (大纒崩捶? "Great Tying Crumble Smack"), a followup version.
      • Buffalo Explosion AKA Kouryuu Housui (降龍崩捶? "Dropping Dragon Crumble Smack"), a followup version.
      • Ultimate Cannon AKA Shoutai Tsuutenhou (衝腿通天砲? "Piercing Thigh Passing Heaven Cannon"), a followup version.
      • Heavy Uppercut AKA Zesshou Tsuutenhou (絶招通天砲? "Suppressed Beckon Passing Heaven Cannon"), their main unblockable attack which can be feint-cancelled and is a standalone version.
      • Razor's Edge AKA Zensou Juujiha (前掃十字把? "Front Brushing Cross Bundle"), a followup version.
      • Flash Uppercut AKA Tenhou (天砲? "Heaven Cannon"), a standalone version.
      • Spirit Cannon AKA Hishouken (妃掌拳? "Consort Palm Fist"), a standalone version.
      • Notably, all these characters can perform only the upward punch standalone, implying that Yun's two-to-three initial blows are deadly added touches before the famous technique.
      • Makoto in Street Fighter III: Third Strike has a move called "Seichusen Godanzuki" (正中線五段突き, Seichuusen Godandzuki, "Punches at Five Levels Along the Center Line") which bears similarities to Yun's You Hou
