Special Moves
1. The Trigger - qcf+P qcf+C comes out faster than qcf+A, but recovers slower Negates normal projectiles Can be followed up by Second Shot (f+B) or Second Shell (f+D) There exists a bug where, if K' did his qcf+P on a waking up K9999, who decided to do his db hcb df+P moon DM, the moon DM will be negated entirely by the qcf+P. K9999's sphere animation will still be visible but since it was negated, K' can now just walk right through it
