Special Moves

Gourd Attack - (qcb + A/C)

• Both version inflict the same damage

• Chin can move left and right while laying on the ground

• Shrinks Chin's hurtbox VERY low, very quickly when inputted.

• Can evade attacks and projectiles that have high horizontal ranges, including characters crouching light punches, and jumping attacks. It can not evade projectiles that skim across the ground, crouching light kicks, sweeps, and throws (normal and command throws).

Serpent Adversary - (up + B)

• Chin travels around 3/4ths screen distance. Depending on distance when performed, this attack may fly over crouching opponents.

Carp Can Can - (up + D)

• Chin wakes up performing a cartwheel traveling away from the opponent around 1/2 screen distance
