Special Moves

236+A: Holy Arrow
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	Yes	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	Close - Mid - Far 95 - 75 - 55	Knockdown	+20%
	Straight arrow shot. Whiffs crouchers. Can be juggled into itself and juggled after. Uses 1 arrow stock. Does more damage the closer you are to your opponent. Does additional damage if the arrow hits a specific portion of the opponents hitbox, if done correctly 'BULLSEYE' will appear under your lifebar in a manner similar to Luna's SPEED SHOOTING. Arrows cannot be reflected, but CAN be proxy guarded... however, the timing is so strict and the benefit of proxying such a move is small, so you can proceed like the move is not proxyable.

214+A: Holy Arrow in the Universe
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	Yes	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	60 * 3	- / -	+20%
	Ayane fires an arrow up that turns into 3 arrows raining down from about sweep distance away. Uses 1 arrow stock. Much more easy to proxy.

236+C: Cut It All
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	Yes	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	105	- / -	+20%
	Ayane slams the ground in front of her and a giant blade rises up. Causes Spin when it hits an aerial opponent.

214+C: Two Step in Destruction
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High -> Mid	- -> No	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	65 +105 (2Hits 134)	Knockdown	+20%
	Ayane does a stomp that launches followed by a 6A that knocks back and causes wallbounce. Pressing 44 after the stomp will cancel the second hit and makes Ayane jump backwards. There is no reason to ever go for the second hit.
