Habanero Back Dash



The Habanero Back Dash is one of El Fuerte's special attacks. Executed by performing a quarter-circle backward motion and pressing punch, El Fuerte quickly runs away from the opponent, toward the edge of the screen. If he reaches the edge of the screen, the attack becomes the Habanero Dash; if the player presses an attack button before then, it finishes with a different attack depending on which button was pressed:

Sudden Stop


Pressing light punch will execute a Sudden Stop. As the name suggests, El Fuerte will simply stop dead in his tracks.

Tostada Press


Pressing medium punch will execute a Tostada Press. El Fuerte will leap backward into the air toward the opponent and perform a body slam downwards. It is a high attack and bypasses crouching blocks. Worth noting is the fact that the attack is identical to the Propeller Tortilla (detailed below) until the point where El Fuerte touches his opponent, whereupon he "pancakes" them. This indistinguishability works in El Fuerte's favor, as an opponent who crouches in the belief that a Propeller Tortilla is imminent will instead be slammed by a Tostada Press. However, if the opponent blocks high, the Press will not connect (however a Propeller Tortilla will grab a standing opponent, meaning that an opponent MUST be able to predict the attack in order to block it). The only reliable way to avoid this dilemma is to dodge the attack instead of blocking.

Propeller Tortilla


Pressing heavy punch will execute a Propeller Tortilla. El Fuerte will leap backward into the air and come down towards the opponent, landing in a "piggyback" position on their shoulders. He will then spin around the opponent at speed, lifting the opponent into the air like a helicopter. He then lets go and lets the opponent fall to the ground. Worth noting is the fact that the attack is identical to the Tostada Press until the point where El Fuerte touches his opponent, whereupon he grabs their shoulders. This indistinguishability works in El Fuerte's favor, as an opponent who blocks high in the belief that a Tostada Press is imminent will instead be caught be a Fajitas Buster. However, if the opponent crouches, the Buster will miss (however a Tostada Press will hit a crouching opponent, meaning that an opponent MUST be able to predict the attack in order to block it). The only reliable way to avoid this dilemma is to dodge the attack instead of blocking.

Picadillo Jump


pressing any kick button will execute a Picadillo Jump. El Fuerte will jump in the direction of the wall at a great height; he is then free to Wall Jump toward the opponent.
