6	2	Mid	3	3	4	9	+9	+10	Kara Cancel, Self Cancel
Mostly used in combos.

f5B
High Kick /ハイキック

Damage	Stun	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Property
8	2	Mid	7	5+7	12	30	-8	-7	Kara Cancel
OK anti-air, but 5D is generally better. This one is cancelable, though.

f5C

f5C
Straight/ストレート

Damage	Stun	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Property
16	4	Mid	8	9	12	28	+2	+1	/
Doesn't see a lot of use. Can be used to finish a combo, but 2D is better for that purpose.

f5D

f5D
Spin Kick/後ろ回し蹴り

Damage	Stun	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Property
18	4	Mid	8	11	18	36	-6	-7	/
One of Joe's main anti-airs. Less risky than Tiger Kick. Use this against characters that can beat your slide AA.

Crouching Normals

2A

2A
Crouching Elbow Strike/しゃがみ肘打ち

Damage	Stun	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Property
6	2	Mid	3	4	4	10	+8	+9	Kara Cancel, Self Cancel
Extremely fast and safe. Ideal for close range pressure. Functions as a combo starter, great against smaller characters like Jubei.

2B

2B
Crouching Front Kick/しゃがみ前蹴り

Damage	Stun	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Property
8	2	Low	4	5	6	12	+5	+6	Kara Cancel, Self Cancel
Very hard to beat due to the tiny hurtbox. Use this often.

2C

2C
Crouching Straight/しゃがみストレート

Damage	Stun	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Property
16	4	Mid	8	8	8	23	+8	+7	Kara Cancel
Has more reach than 2A. Great poke, especially when cancelled into Hurricane Upper.

2D

2D
Sliding Kick/スライディングキック

Damage	Stun	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Property
14	4	Low	7	16	24	46	+21	-17	Upper-Body Invuln 7-22F, Head Invuln 1-6F, 23-29F
A veritable swiss army knife of a move that does just about everything: Extremely low profile and moves Joe forward, allowing you to easily beat most mid pokes. Excellent anti-air that only loses against a small number of jump-ins. Allows Joe to slide past any projectile that doesn't travel along the ground. Links from standing and crouching A and grants a knockdown on hit, so it's also your best combo ender. It does have a slow recovery though, so don't get too greedy with it.
