The Love Me Tender (ラブミーテンダー Rabu Mii Tendaa?) is one of Poison's special attacks, introduced in Street Fighter X Tekken.
This move is based on her appearance in Final Fight, where Poison and Roxy would perform an acrobatic flip kick.
Initial: Love Me Tender | + |
---|---|
Followup: Poison Rana |
Description
Executed by performing a quarter-circle backward motion and pressing kick, Poison leaps forward and performs a flipping axe kick. Poison can follow this move up with a reverse Frankensteiner called the Poison Rana. The EX Special version has the initial strike hit twice, and its followup throw deals twice the damage.
Tactics
The move is an overall good choice for both evading ground or mid-height attacks and closing distances through the air, though she risks being intercepted. The follow-up throw is unavoidable if it connects, giving the move solid damage output.
