Safe launcher. Can be charged by holding BK, dash forward or back to cancel. Whilst charging this move you can cancel into Geyser Kick, Waterport and Water Bubble without dashing.
Geyser Kick
Used as mainly an anti air and anti air wake up, this move makes it virtually impossible to cross jump up over Rain.

It has armour on start up and it will beat every wake up move in the game. This will launch the opponent, so it is excellently used as an anti air counter.
