Description
Executed by pressing forward plus Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick (or pressing forward and Drive Impact for Modern Control), Chun-Li does a double lift-kick to knock her opponent back.
Tactics
As a Drive Reversal, Hoyoku Kick serves as a way for Chun-Li to escape offensive pressure being applied to her; similar to Alpha Counter or V-Reversal. It cost 2 bars of Drive Gauge. This move can be only be performed when Chun-Li is in blockstun or on a successful Drive Parry. Upon activation, Chun-Li is fully invincible during the startup and active frames of this move. On hit, it inflicts decent amount of provisional damage. Hoyoku Kick can also break armor. It is also effective in keeping the opponent in the corner should they attempt to force their way out.
