==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Cross Chop | Cross Chop is a move where Incineroar leaps upwards into the air, and then descending diagonally to perform a diving, [[flame|fiery]] [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling attacks#Cross chop|cross chop]]. The descent can also be influenced left and right by the player, giving it a degree of flexibility. Incineroar also gains 11.99% damage-based [[armor]] on frames 4-15, making it a powerful albeit committal [[out of shield]] option against mixups<ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10-5YqzOoKil_NvgaerUoMCTvT-Ee_jWGoXH6IIfU6LY/edit?usp=sharing</ref>. This also adds safety to recovery, as well as a decent reactionary punish against poor approaches. | ||
As the rising and descending hits are meant to combo into each other, both hits have [[set knockback]]; however, the descending hit has extremely high base knockback that acts as a powerful [[gimp]] even at 0%, allowing for a [[sacrificial KO]] that always KOs the opponent first | Cross Chop causes a fiery explosion once Incineroar lands, with Incineroar's descending body hitbox and landing explosion usually being the main combat components of the move. The explosion deals powerful knockback; the descending hitbox KOs at 75% from the edge of Final Destination, with the explosion being almost as powerful. However, the move has high ending lag, making it punishable. As the rising and descending hits are meant to combo into each other, both hits have [[set knockback]]; however, the descending hit has extremely high base knockback that acts as a powerful [[gimp]] even at 0%, allowing for a [[sacrificial KO]] that always KOs the opponent first. | ||
Unlike most up specials, Cross Chop does not render Incineroar [[helpless]], unless Incineroar lands during its descent and does not touch solid ground during the landing animation. Due to Cross Chop's diagonal angle and poor horizontal travel distance, safely using it for recovering requires it to be used while extremely high in the air (almost from the top left/right of the screen), as it is a virtually guaranteed [[self-destruct]] any other way. | Unlike most up specials, Cross Chop does not render Incineroar [[helpless]], unless Incineroar lands during its descent and does not touch solid ground during the landing animation. This can be triggered through windboxes such as [[F.L.U.D.D]]. Due to Cross Chop's diagonal angle and poor horizontal travel distance, safely using it for recovering requires it to be used while extremely high in the air (almost from the top left/right of the screen), or just underneath the edge, as it is a virtually guaranteed [[self-destruct]] any other way. | ||

Cross Chop's appearance and properties in ''Smash'' bear a major resemblance to—and are likely directly inspired by—the [https://streetfighter.fandom.com/wiki/Flying_Cross_Chop Flying Cross Chop], a move used by {{iw|wikipedia|Alex|Street Fighter}} from the {{uv|Street Fighter}} series, albeit with different angle and properties, as well as Flying Cross Chop requiring Alex to be in the air in order to use it, both of which based on the real-life Cross Chop move. Popularized by {{iw|wikipedia|Mil Máscaras}}, the move involves the attacker launching themselves at their opponenet with their arms crossed in front of them, often leading to a double backhand chop. While the move is incredibly risky and can be countered if the opponent is prepared, its explosive nature can easily take someone to the ground for a pin. | |||
