Description[]
Executed by pressing forward and Medium Punch, followed by Heavy Punch, Marisa does an overhand body blow with her rear arm. If the first attack connects, she finished the target combo by sweeping her opponent's legs with a hook from her opposite hand.
Tactics[]
The first move of the target combo has decent range. It is Marisa's longest reaching Medium pokes that moves her toward the opponent as she attacks. Once the first attack hits, Marisa can follow up with either Heavy Punch or Heavy Kick. Linking into Heavy Punch gives Marisa a sweep follow-up that knocks down the opponent on hit. It also leaves her close to the opponent upon completing the attack. Marisa can follow up with a Drive Rush or charge up her Heavy normals with Marisa Style to maintain offensive pressure and keep the opponent on their heels. However, Novacula Swipe is unsafe on block due to it being a sweeping move.
Trivia[]
- Novacula in Latin translates both as "razor" and "dagger".
