Light Kick

The Light Kick is one of the five basic attack types in Street Fighter VERSUS. It's pretty straightforward, again, and all characters can use these.

Light Kicks are very fast, but tend to be a little slower, stronger and less multi-purpose than a Light Punch. However, they still serve many purposes a Light Punch has (quick, safe pressure and starting a Chain combo for example).

Light Kicks are usually able to be rapid fired, but not as universally as a Light Punch. All the shotokans have the ability to rapid fire these for one thing. Most characters with rapid fire Light Punches can cancel into a Light Kick, and then vice versa; see Light attack chain cancels for more information on how this works.

Light Kicks tend to have lower hitboxes (with some exceptions, notably Guy and Cammy) than Light Punches, making them less likely to whiff. Crouching Light Kicks tend to be the fastest attacks characters have access to that must be blocked low, making them a prime way of mixing up an opponent. These typically follow a Light Punch in an air combo.
