Description

Manon kicking Cammy away using Étoile.

"Launch your opponent into the air with a quick one-two combination of kicks, and follow up with a powerful leaping kick. This move executes quickly, making it useful as an anti-air attack or as a way to combo airborne opponents."

—Street Fighter 6

Executed by performing two quarter-circle back motions and pressing kick, Manon does a Rond-point into a second high kick, then jumps up for an angled toe kick with some ballet flair added on as ethereal feathers float around her.

Tactics

Étoile is an excellent reversal option as well as anti air. One of the main benefit of using this move over her Level 1 Super Art is that it catches opponents who try to neutral jump Manon when under pressure, as the hit box of the initial hit is quite big. It can also to catch certain jump-in attempts that normally wouldn’t expect to hit. Étoile also has a decent corner carry. Because it is a Level 2 Super Art, it can be cancelled from her normals or OD moves like Rond-point.

Trivia

• Étoile is the French word for "star".
