Ken’s MK, HK target combo is called “Lion Breaker” in Street Fighter V. I’ve always had a problem with this because I can’t picture a lion going down to two kicks across the face, but I guess that’s neither here nor there:

What matters is whether or not your opponent goes down to the target combo — and with the setups that World Warrior FGC has invented, they certainly will. Demonstrated in the video above, Lion Breaker sets up nicely for Ken’s cross-up tatsu, creates anti 3-frame panic button situations, and allows any correct guesses to convert into big damage.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition pro Brian_F is starting a new quick tips series for Balrog players looking to add nuance to their game. Today’s first discussion breaks down the applications of Balrog’s “Under Impact” target combo (LK,MK,HK), and important information regarding V-Trigger timing with it.

It’s tempting to complete the string when you have V-Trigger on deck — but on both hit and block, Brian argues, you’re better going into VTC on the 2nd hit. This nets you both more damage and frame advantage, as demonstrated in the video above.
