In Game Data[]
- Description: Appear behind an opponent and strike! Additional input before the attack will allow you to attack from the front as well!
- Ki used: 100
- Obtained from: training with Cooler
Properties[]
User teleports behind the opponent, performing a restanding punch. If additional input is performed, right after teleporting, instead of the regular attack, user will teleport again to the other side and attack with a kick causing a knockback instead. This knockback is long enough to follow up with some skills, or just dash up to opponent and continue a basic combo, however unlike the regular version, additional input version will fail to properly hit knocked back opponents. The regular input version can be directly cancelled into most skills as well as stamina breaks, but not other basics. It is also possible to later step out of it and quickly continue a combo with basics regardless.
Usage Tips[]
Thanks to its ability to land out of knockbacks and its restand stun, it is an effective strike combo tool, boasting higher damage and ability to directly cancel into stamina breaks over its competitor, Finishing Blow. However the latter can more easily make up for lack of direct stamina break cancel and is safer in general. You should be wary using this skill against opponents with stamina, and be prepared to intercept their vanishes or evasives with your other skills. On low stamina, this skill can also serve as an effective break setup in case you fumbled your regular break combo, wasn't in position to use a regular break combo, landed the skill in neutral or are a member of Freeza's race and lack proper break setup in general. The additional input version, being slower, more combo averse and causing a knockback instead of a restand is overall much less flexible and not worth using.
Trivia[]
- Despite being the mentor that teaches you the skill, Final Form Cooler cannot use Feint Crash, not even for the customizable preset
