Description[]
Ken runs towards the opponent, closing the distance in an instant. If the input is held, Ken does a toe kick, which would go on to be dubbed the Forward Step Kick (踏み込み前蹴り Fumikomi Maegeri?, Rushing Forward Kick) in Street Fighter 6.
Additionally, in Street Fighter 6, Ken can also perform Emergency Stop (急停止 Kyūteishi?) with Light Kick, Thunder Kick (紫電カカト落とし Shiden Kakato Otoshi?, Purple Lightning/Flashing Heel Drop) with Medium Kick, and Forward Step Kick with Heavy Kick during the rush of Quick Step.
Tactics[]
Normal attacks can be canceled into this special forward dash, which has follow-up moves into attacks, making it quite useful for closing distance and surprise attacks. Ken can also use this move to keep the opponent on their heels, mixing up attacks with throws.
In Street Fighter 6, Ken can follow up his run with various options. Emergency Stop cancels his dash, Thunder Kick surprises opponents with an advancing overhead, and Forward Step Kick's long range makes Ken a threat from a distance. Ken can also ignite his special moves by performing them during Quick Dash, making them stronger.
