Condor Spire



The Condor Spire is one of T. Hawk's special attacks. Executed by pressing back, down, down-backward and punch, the attack sees Hawk spreading his arms like wings and gliding over the ground in an attempt to ram the opponent. The distance covered is determined by the punch button pressed (light going the least distance and heavy going the most), but no version travels very far. Increased distance also leads to increased recovery time, and the light punch version is generally favored as it is the safest if blocked. The attack's main usefulness is to approach the opponent on foot (as opposed to his more predictable aerial approach in Condor Dive) in relative safety; it glides over low attacks. There is also an EX version which, on top of doing more damage than the standard version and having even less recovery than light punch depite going as far as heavy punch, can also go through projectile attacks, making it an extremely safe method of approach.
