Editing Left Splits Kick

The player must perform → → + attack input. If done successfully, Kazuya stretches his left leg upwards and swings it downwards immediately after. It reflects projectiles from frame 7 onwards, with a 2.4× damage multiplier and incredible speed. It is the strongest reflector in the game damage-wise, resulting in extremely early [[KO]]s if it reflects an already strong projectile. The initial lunge when the attack is used effectively increases its attack range, including for reflecting projectiles, making it difficult to contest in the latter context. However, it is decently committal, requiring what's often an initial dash input to perform and having noticeable endlag, meaning Kazuya will often lose reflector wars or otherwise be punished for misuse. Also, its use as a physical attack has some niche benefits of decent damage and fast start-up, but is otherwise mediocre and is outclassed by other similar attacks like dash attack, which is also fast with more range, and down-forward tilt, which has a similar animation with the benefit of much higher shield damage and being a natural combo.
