| | An overhead chop that can be held and charged.

Almost all enemies will see an overhead coming and react by blocking high - take advantage of that defensive response to give the summon attack some room. Slow, plus kameo summons like Motaro Tail Turret, Cyrax Net, and some Shujinko moves are the biggest beneficiaries of this, but it can be applied for nearly any summon option. |
