Seismic Hammer



Seismic Hammer is one of C. Viper's special attacks. Executed by pressing forward, down, down-forward and punch, Viper raises her fist and slams it into the ground, creating an explosion in the ground at some point on the screen. Where the explosion appears depends on which punch was used; the light punch causes it to appear right in front of her, the medium punch half the screen away, and the heavy punch almost the entire screen away. If the EX Special version is used, the shockwave is larger and covers the entire distance from half a screen away to right in front of her. The attack must be blocked low, or preferably avoided altogether. It can be cancelled (to make the move a feint), though the timing for this is extremely strict.

The attack is made possible by her Battle Suit: a system built into the gloves enables her to perform this attack as well as the Thunder Knuckle.
