Description

Sawada-bloodslash

Executed by performing a half-circle backward motion and pressing punch, Sawada kneels down and stabs himself (yelling "Hara-kiri!"), spraying an arc of blood around and over top of him. The stronger the punch button used, the longer Sawada will be stunned after the blood-arc disappears. The arc of blood can also stop enemy projectiles.

The EX version turns the blood into fire and increases the speed and damage of the attack; it can also reflect projectiles back at the opponent.

Tactics

The attack acts primarily as Sawada's overhead attack to counter jumping opponents.

Trivia

Sawada emote

The Gokusatsu Jibakujin emote for the player's Avatar in Street Fighter 6

  • Though Sawada does not use this move in the arcade version, the same animation (minus the blood) is used when he loses by time over.
  • This move returned in Street Fighter 6, albeit as an unlockable Avatar emote on the Akuma Arrives! Premium Battle Pass. As it is strictly an emote, it is unavailable for use in fights.
