Kizuna Encounter/Eagle

Max Eagle

Introduction

Thank you! Eagle is the closest thing Kizuna has to an air fighter, equipped with an air grab and multiple air command moves Eagle can prevent his opponent from relying on the air block that normally wins air encounters. All of this in spite of canonically being a wrestler.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Solid air game with lots of good options, including an air grab, a divekick, and an air fireball His axe is a good projectile that can attack from weird angles American Screw lets him approach even after air blocking something and is completely safe if not GC’d	Lackluster ground game Generally short reach on his attacks His only high priority projectile doesn’t really do much for him Has no command grabs despite being a wrestler

Normal 41236A Damage Guard Cancel Level - M - 1 Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Hit Adv 4 24 38 -35 Knockdown Best: B-12F Double german hitgrab. Short range but this is probably your best combo tool when not in red health. Not using the followup will switch sides, so you can corner your opponent with it.

Diving Body Attack jW.4A File:KE eagle jW.4A.png	Damage Guard Cancel Level - M - 2 Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Hit Adv 15(20) - (16) -9 Pursuit OK KD Best: B-9F A very fast dive. Has a tendency to catch people off guard with how fast it is and provides an option to get out of the corner. Somewhat punishable on block.

214C

Axe Boom 214C File:KE eagle 214C.png

Damage Guard Cancel Level - M o 3S Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Hit Adv 17 70 76[8] +2 Pursuit OK KD Rank A projectile. 9F weapon drop window. AXEU BUUM! Eagles projectile eating projectile. Starts going in an upwards arc before coming down and bouncing a few times. Eagle is entirely vulnerable and can not move while his axe is out. Could see a bit of use against opponents who are aggressive with their air projectiles but otherwise is easily reacted to and Flash Wing and his air grab are much better anti airs.

236C

Axe Throw 236C (Air OK) File:KE eagle 236C.png Air Air File:KE eagle j.236C.png

Ground Damage Guard Cancel Level - M o 3 Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Hit Adv 19 52 43[8] -3 +1 Air Damage Guard Cancel Level - M o 3 Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Hit Adv 7 54 -[8] -8 -4 Rank B projectile. Hitting/blocking 236C & j236C 15 frames after they occur will result in 2 attacks. It's the hand axe from fire emblem. The axe flies at a slight downwards angle before going up a bit again before returning to Eagle. Doing it in the air has steeper angles and even goes under the stage if done too low. Eagle is very briefly vulnerable when the axe comes back to him as he has to stop everything he is doing to catch it, even blocking. If you catch it in the air you can’t do anything else until he lands.

Eagle Special 632146A File:KE eagle 632146A.png

Damage Guard Cancel Level - M - 3 Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Hit Adv 7 5 40 -16 Knockdown Thought double german was cool? Get ready for more germans. Overall very similar to his front suplex move that doesn’t go as far but has much better recovery. Has a super fast startup and will catch your opponent from a juggle. It also has a habit of throwing yourself in a corner with zero oki potential.
