Psycho Knuckle(Lv1)

Psycho Knuckle Lv1 (HP held briefly) is the first charge level of Ed's charged Heavy Punch. Holding HP for a short duration activates Level 1, which deals more damage than a regular HP and has slightly increased hitbox properties. It is a stepping stone toward Lv2 and is useful for players who are still mastering the hold timing.

• Charged poke: Psycho Knuckle Lv1 can be used as a slightly boosted heavy punch in situations where you do not have time to reach full Lv2 charge.
• Combo cancel: Like standard HP, Lv1 can cancel into special moves for combo extensions — use it the same way as a regular HP in most routes.
• Pressure tool: When conditioning the opponent with Psycho Flicker hold, mixing in a Lv1 Psycho Knuckle adds a different timing strike to the mix-up.
