Sliding

Sliding (スライディング/すらいでぃんぐ) is a shared technique between multiple fighters in SNK fighting games.

Description

The user slides on the ground, typically with one of their legs extended outwards.

Strategy

Slide attacks usually travels a good distance, making them decent prodding options that hit low and above all, can slide underneath various attacks such as high-enough traveling projectiles.

However, for any kind of slide that's both a crouching normal or a command normal, they only hit once for all of their active frames given and are thus very punishable on block or hit if connected with early (some slides also are not cancel-able and normally if they do not double as sweeps, don't knockdown to add to injury).

As a result, spacing slides (or landing them as wake-up meaties) can often be crucial to be made safe to connect with as late of the active frames as possible. Some slides may also be cancel-able into other moves or specials, which can be a rare case beneficial to slide users on offense.

Trivia

  • Should Orochi Chris’ Setsudan no Koto be written in kanji, it would be (切断せつだんこと).
