Offensive Moveset 1

Rush Chain

Rush Chain combos can be triggered by pressing [☐/X] up to four times, followed by [△/Y]. The longer the combo, the more damage you’ll inflict, delivering a series of powerful strikes to your opponent.

Smash Attacks are chargeable moves that can send your opponent flying upon impact. The power of these attacks varies with the charge duration. Timing is crucial when executing a Smash Attack.

A Power Smash is more potent than a regular Smash Attack, propelling your opponent further. To perform a Power Smash, hold [☐/X] for a Smash Attack and release it once fully charged. This move deals significant damage and can push your opponent back. Additionally, you can use it to maintain distance and link it with follow-up moves like Dragon Homing and Vanishing Attack. Be sure to integrate it into your combat tactics.
