Description
Executed by charging down, then moving up and pressing kick, Alex leaps into the air and comes straight down, feet-first, on top of his opponent, smashing them into the ground.
The distance Alex jumps is determined by the strength of the kick button pressed, with a light kick bringing him down just in front of where he was, and a heavy kick bringing him down half the screen from where he started. The EX Special version specifically targets where the opponent is at the beginning of the move, and can reach all the way across the screen.
Tactics
The move is difficult to connect, as the attack can miss completely, forcing Alex to guess where his opponent will be in order to avoid setting himself up for a counter.
