Hitbox visualization showing Bayonetta's neutral aerial Bullet Arts extension.

Overview

A spinning roundhouse kick. It is based on the aerial Bullet Climax in Bayonetta. It hits around Bayonetta and continuing the input for the Bullet Arts version has her continue to spin for a few seconds. The Bullet Arts version of this move fires her guns to her sides both horizontally and diagonally below her, and is useful for edgeguarding due to its long duration and very good coverage. If canceled early, it can lead into aerial combos with her special moves, and the clean hit can act as a combo finisher offstage.
