必杀技
Perform a bob & weave while taking a step back. Useful for helping to create distance from the opponent while analyzing the situation.
How to Use
Kill Rush (Backward) is the back-step variant of Kill Rush. It retreats while building toward a follow-up attack, giving Ed a way to bait whiffs and then punish with a Kill Switch strike. It is a strong footsies tool for resetting to mid-range while keeping offensive momentum.
- Whiff bait: Dash back with Kill Rush (Backward) to make the opponent's poke whiff, then punish with Kill Switch Break or Chase on recovery.
- Reset spacing: When the opponent applies pressure, use Kill Rush (Backward) to escape and re-establish comfortable mid-range.
- Conditioning tool: Mixing Kill Rush (Backward) with Kill Rush (Forward) keeps the opponent unsure of your position and approach angle.
How to Counter
Kill Rush (Backward) creates a retreating motion that may make your attacks whiff. Stay patient — do not chase recklessly.
Recommended counters
- Do not press buttons as Ed retreats — you risk whiffing into a Kill Switch punish.
- Watch for Ed to dash back and immediately start a follow-up attack; block early and punish the unsafe branches on block.
