Aegis Reflector



The Aegis Reflector is Urien's third Super Art in the Street Fighter III series. Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing punch, the attack sees Urien open his arms wide as he creates a square energy barrier which appears in front of him. The barrier slowly moves forward while flashing until it slows to a stop, then lingers for a second and disintegrates. If all three punch buttons are pressed, the barrier instead appears diagonally upwards. The barrier reflects any projectile back in the other direction, and an opponent who touches it without blocking will be damaged and knocked away. However, Urien can pass through the barrier as if it wasn't there.

Since Urien is free to move while the barrier lingers, he can attempt to get behind the opponent and force them to block his attacks while pushing them into the barrier. This enables him to set up many combos and traps, though the potential is limited by the barrier's lifespan: it disintegrates more quickly the more it reflects.

Urien can create more than one barrier at once; this allows him to trap the opponent between two barriers and then attempt to knock them into one, whereupon they will be bounced helplessly between the two.
