3 Freeze

Whenever Koichi hits the opponent with "S-H-I-T", "Echoes ACT 3: Freeze!" or "Does this mean I've gotten stronger?!", the opponent becomes Gravitated, a status visualized by black lines surrounding the opponent. While under the effects of 3 Freeze, the opponent is prevented from executing the following actions:

• Dash / Run
• Backdash
• Jump
• Command Normals
• Special Moves
• HHA / GHA
• Stylish Dodge / Stylish Guard
• Flash Cancel

In addition to this, the victim is forced into a crouching state instead of their neutral stance. However, they can still block high against jumping normals.
