Flash Chop

The Flash Chop is one of Alex's special attacks. Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing punch, Alex moves slightly forward and delivers an open-palm horizontal chop to the opponent. The amount of time the move requires and the distance Alex moves forward are determined by strength of the punch button pressed: heavy punch takes more frames to execute and moves an entire pace forward, whereas light punch barely moves forward at all and executes quickly. There is also an EX version.

Because of Alex's wrestling background, the move can be seen as an homage to the "Flair Chop", a similar attack made famous by the WWE wrestler Ric Flair.
