必杀技
A technique that allows you to quickly move forward. Two different types of attacks are possible during the technique, which are timing dependent.
How to Use
Kill Rush (Forward) is Ed's forward-dashing special that leads into three follow-up attacks: Kill Switch Break (6P — uppercut), Kill Switch Chase (4P — retreating hook), or Kill Switch Stomp (6K — low kick). It is a core tool for extending combos, applying wake-up pressure, and creating left-right positioning mix-ups.
- Combo extension: In combos, 236KK → Kill Switch Chase (4P) → 214HP is a common midscreen route for carrying the opponent to the corner.
- Meaty on wake-up: After a knockdown, Kill Rush into Break or Chase can be timed as a meaty that beats most reversal options.
- Drive Impact counter: 236KK's startup is 25 frames, giving enough time to react to a Drive Impact and absorb it with the rush's armor — practice this to beat Drive Impact on reaction.
How to Counter
Kill Rush (Forward) has three follow-ups with different properties:
- Kill Switch Break (6P): An uppercut that is unsafe on block — punish if you block it.
- Kill Switch Chase (4P): Ed retreats — if you were about to attack, you may whiff. React to his position.
- Kill Switch Stomp (6K): Hits low — crouch-block and punish the recovery.
Recommended counters
- OD Kill Rush (236KK) is +4 on block after the pull-in — do not mash. Focus on the follow-up mixup.
- Each Kill Rush branch has different frame data. Learn which follow-up is being used and react accordingly.
