Overview
A diagonal flying kick. It is a stall-then-fall that can meteor smash. It is difficult to use as such, however, since its meteor hitbox is present only after frame 19. Originates from Sonic the Fighters, though it also resembles the Sonic Rocket from Sonic Battle. It is similar to Sheik's and Zero Suit Samus' and while it has more start up and landing lag than than their's, it has much less ending lag, making much safer to use off stage. Sonic can also land a footstool jump after use at certain percentages and because it's a stall-then-fall with not that much ending lag, he can meteor smash his opponents if landed right after a foot stool jump.
Update history
- Ending lag: frame 50 → 46, slightly improving its safety.
