The Écarté (エカルテ Ekarute?) is Manon's Drive Reversal, introduced in Street Fighter 6.
| Classic |  + + (While blocking or during Drive Parry) |
|---|---|
| Modern | + (While blocking or during Drive Parry) |
Description
Executed by pressing forward plus Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick (or pressing forward and Drive Impact for Modern Control), Manon raises her front leg high, then spins around, bashing her opponent's middle with both hands.
Tactics
As a Drive Reversal, Écarté serves as a way for Manon to escape offensive pressure being applied to her; similar to Alpha Counter or V-Reversal. It cost 2 bars of Drive Gauge. This move can be only be performed when Manon is in blockstun or on a successful Drive Parry. Upon activation, Manon is fully invincible during the startup and active frames of this move. On hit, it inflicts decent amount of provisional damage. Écarté can also break armor. It is also effective in keeping the opponent in the corner should they attempt to force their way out.
Trivia
- Écarté is the French word for "discard".
