| Metered version of Thunder Knuckle, where Viper advances across the entire screen before hitting the opponent. Is invincible on startup making it useful as a reversal. However, it is generally less reliable as one than EX Seismic Hammer or Emergency Combination. What really makes this move shine is the Medium Priority nullification hitbox it has for its entire active frames. This allows Viper to plow through almost any non-super projectile punishing some grounded projectiles on reaction and many more on a good read. | | Metered version of Thunder Knuckle, where Viper advances across the entire screen before hitting the opponent.

| Viper punches the ground and creates a shockwave projectile a fixed distance in front of her. L Seismo creates a shockwave directly in front of her, M creates one at about 1/3 fullscreen distance, and H creates one at roughly 2/3 fullscreen distance. The shockwave hits OTG and can be useful in projectile battles since it appears underneath the opponent, avoiding their own fireballs. | | Viper punches the ground and creates a shockwave projectile a fixed distance in front of her. {{clr|L|L}} Seismo creates a shockwave directly in front of her, {{clr|M|M}} creates one at about 1/3 fullscreen distance, and {{clr|H|H}} creates one at roughly 2/3 fullscreen distance.

| Seismo is a very important part of Viper's kit due to its jump-cancel property. It can be canceled into jumps or superjumps after frame 19. Jump-cancel seismos are very advantageous on hit or block, and can even be used if the projectile whiffs entirely. Additionally, Viper can cancel the prejump frames of her jump-cancel seismo into any grounded special/hyper, including another seismo. Rapid jump-cancel seismos allow Viper to quickly fill the screen with projectiles, in order to lock down opponents or their assists, while being very low commitment. | | Seismo is a very important part of Viper's kit due to its jump-cancel property.

| Viper punches forward twice and then does two upwards kicks. Both punches can nullify one projectile, including high-priority projectiles like hypers. When combined with its natural invincibility, it is very difficult to contest as a reversal. Most useful to punish other supers on reaction, EX Seismo and EX Thunder Knuckle are often better options as reversal supers on defense. | | Viper advances with a flurry of blows. In addition to being an advancing, invulnerable reversal it also nullifies projectiles for the first two hits. While not as safe or fast as her other reversals this one is much easier to use in a pinch and can beat even extremely active supers and projectiles. If it hits an airborne opponent it may sometimes juggle them too high and subsequent hits of the super will whiff, leaving Viper open to being punished. |

| Surprise, surprise but Doom is one of Viper's best partners. He has nearly everything she wants in a support. He can function as a damage engine via Ex Thunder Knuckle Hard Tags or via TAC infinites. He has access to safe DHCs to make her reversal super safe and get her out with little risk. Lastly, all of his assists are strong for her with Plasma Beam being particularly useful for her neutral and combos. | | Surprise, surprise but Doom is one of Viper's best partners.
