Desperation Moves

Has some invincibility frames at the start
Can be rolled to evade after the super flash then punished

Hits activate after the initial one connects, so if blocked he does a fast version of his db, f + A/C
Can be jabbed out of his dash animation if timed right
On block, not safe but he gets pushed back a fair distance...at which he can be swept
Damage output is really low, but has a quick start up, and can be comboed into
Super Desperation Move
Super Sonic Swirl: - qcb, db, f + B+D
A much better and faster version of his normal DM that does a great deal of damage (around 40%).
Easier to juggle with after his hcf + A/C
Still unsafe on block, so you better hit them with this
HSDM
Zan Ei Super Sonic Swirl: - qcf x 2 + AC
> Additional attack, B+C+D
His dash which looks like a db, f + P has very fast start up but can be interrupted at full screen range by a few special moves which have autoguard or invincibility frames at start, like Ryo's dp + P or K' dp + C, or Kyo's dp + P
Once blocked, Andy will keep dashing and he will be open to punishment until his B+C+D is activated
B+C+D will juggle, and do a couple of hits after the super connects
If the follow up has poor recovery if misses
If the qcf x 2 + A+C is used to juggled after a hcf + P, the B+C+D follow might miss if mistimed
Damage depends sometimes on how many hits the B+C+D followup receives. If it's followed up too soon, it may only release a single hit with poor damage. If it is follow up with the opponent in the air as a juggle, then it may hit up to 6 to 7 hits and output a high amount of damage.
