Gale Strike (トルネードショット) is the Mii Swordfighter's default Neutral Special Move. The Mii Swordfighter creates a mini-tornado and sends it forwards, similar to Link's Gale Boomerang. If the opponent is close, they will be repeatedly hit and damaged by the tornado. The farther it goes, the less damage it does. However, when the tornado reaches the end of its path, it will only push opponents away.

Overview[]

Strengths:

  • Projectile attack
  • Carries opponent away from the user; spacing

Weaknesses:

  • Loses power the farther it is from its origin point

The Gale Strike is a great move for Swordfighters that want a bit of breathing room. The attack carries opponents away from Mii Swordfighter when they use it, giving them some space. It is a projectile attack, allowing Mii Swordfighter to attack from afar; however, the tornado weakens the farther it goes, to the point where at the end of its path it will only push opponents around a bit. It is definitely recommended to use this at a closer range to ensure some damage will be put on the opponent; Gale Strike is definitely a great spacing tool to use when an opponent gets too close for comfort, but not necessarily great when used as an actual attack.
