Incineroar (SSBU): Difference between revisions

|usdesc=Leaps upward while engulfed in [[flame]]s before [[bulbapedia:Cross Chop|descending diagonally to perform a cross chop]]. Incineroar gains [[Armor#Damage-based Armor|damage-based armor]] a few frames after its initial ascent (frames 4-15), and Incineroar can change its direction right after starting the move. Unlike many other up specials, such as [[Mario]]'s or [[Ike]]'s, the direction must be changed just after the animation begins instead of using the direction held during the initial input. It causes a large explosion if Incineroar lands while the descending hitbox is still active. The rising and descending hits have [[set knockback]], with the descending hit having extremely high base knockback; this is capable of gimping opponents even at 0% for a [[sacrificial KO]], with Incineroar always being KO'd after its opponent. Incineroar's descending body hitbox is similarly powerful, KOing at 75% from the edge of Final Destination, with the explosion being almost as powerful. However, the move has a high ending lag. Unlike most up specials, Cross Chop does not render Incineroar helpless (unless Incineroar lands during its descent and does not touch the solid ground), though its awkward angle requires it to be used extremely high for the recovery, as it is a [[self-destruct]] any other way.
