Heel Slide (ヒールスライド, Heel Slide) is Bayonetta's side special in Super Smash Bros. 4. Bayonetta attacks with a sliding kick. Like most of her attacks, if the button is held, she will fire her guns to deal extra damage, but if the button is held longer, she will finish with a flip kick that knocks her opponent into the air, allowing her to follow up with one of her various aerial moves. The attack also features aesthetic variations: the trails emitted are blue if Bayonetta's default costume is used, or red if her "A Witch With No Memories" alternate costume is used.

After Burner Kick

When performed in the air, Bayonetta's side special is the After Burner Kick (アフターバーナーキック, After Burner Kick). This attack has her fly diagonally upwards with a kick, and can be performed twice in the air if the first attack hits an opponent. If down is pressed before performing the move, Bayonetta does a diagonal diving kick instead that bounces off opponents. Using a Hadoken-style input often makes this easier. Both variants can be comboed into each other, and various other combos can be done, such as the Forward Aerial out of the After Burner Kick. Getting hit in the air recovers an After Burner Kick, allowing Bayonetta to add it to her recovery along with Witch Twist.

Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:

1. Heel Slide/After Burner Kick

"The former is for on the ground–the latter for in the air. Hit a foe in the air and you can do a second kick."
  1. Heel Slide/Afterburner Kick: Default.

Like the other DLC characters, Bayonetta currently lacks custom move variations.

Origin

Both Heel Slide and After Burner Kick are separate techniques purchasable at the Gates of Hell. Heel Slide functions the same way, and if done in the air, a diagonal After Burner Kick is performed if it was already purchased. After Burner Kick also has two variants depending on whether or not Bayonetta is ascending or descending from her jump. The attack is named after the Sega arcade game of the same name, and the downward variant resembles Red-Hot Kick, an attack from PlatinumGames' predecessor Clover Studio's game, Viewtiful Joe.

Trivia

  • This is the first special move to change its name when used in the air.
