N.D.L.



N.D.L. is one of Twelve's special attacks. Executed by performing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing punch, the attack "takes poking to a new level altogether" ; Twelve shoves his arms into the ground, and they come out of the ground some distance away in the form of sharply pointed spikes. The range of the attack is determined by the punch button used, with heavy punch "reaching almost a full screen away", while light punch "comes out just in front of him", and medium punch is somewhere in between. The EX version homes in on where the opponent is and hits twice. The attack can be used to hit jumping opponents as they land, or to simultaneously avoid a projectile and hit the opponent before they recover. Additionally, it can be used to destroy a projectile if it hits one. Finally, although the attack can be used while Twelve is invisible, the spikes will be visible.
