Ibuki’s kunai are integral to her gameplan in Street Fighter V, so learning to use them correctly is vital to do damage as this ninja schoolgirl. To stop Ibukis around the world misusing their kunai, the FGC Academy has created an instructional video, teaching all kunoichi how to properly manage their throwing knives.

As with handling any dangerous equipment, FGC Academy first goes over the improper use of kunai, like randomly throwing air kunai and getting punished or using more than two kunai in a single juggle. While it may look flashy and get the crowd on your side, excessive kunai use is just wasting resources and it’s better to learn and utilize the less flashy, but equally damaging combo whenever possible.

The main optimizations of kunai, according to FGC Academy, are hit-checking the opponent, using kunai to make moves like standing heavy punch safe and extending blockstring pressure by using EX kunai. If all goes to pot and you are running low, ending a combo with heavy punch Raida should give you enough time to reload at least one kunai. The video shows these kunai applications in action so try to see how you can further optimize these optimizations after watching this guide.
