Overview

A knifehand thrust. It's a very fast smash attack, coming out at frame 12. It's very powerful as well, able to KO just below 120% reliably. With its decently low endlag (FAF 42), it becomes somewhat safe on whiff if it the opponent isn't close enough to punish it. The up angled version can also create a DI trap thanks to it's more vertical trajectory
