Description
An Aerial Rave is a technique in fighting games where a character juggles their opponent with a series of attacks while both characters are airborne. This maneuver often allows for extended attack sequences that can inflict significant damage, making it a valuable tool for players looking to maximize their offensive capabilities. Aerial Raves typically require precise timing and skill to execute correctly, as the player must maintain the combo without allowing the opponent to recover and counterattack. The concept was popularized by games like 'Marvel vs. Capcom' and 'Guilty Gear,' where aerial combat plays a significant role in gameplay mechanics. Mastering Aerial Raves can often be the difference between victory and defeat in high-level competitive play.
Examples
- In 'Marvel vs. Capcom 2,' players can launch their opponent into the air and follow up with a series of rapid attacks, chaining multiple hits in an Aerial Rave.
- In 'Guilty Gear,' Aerial Raves are an essential part of many characters' fighting styles, allowing players to maintain offensive pressure while airborne.
Additional Information
- Aerial Raves often require a combination of normal and special moves to keep the opponent airborne.
- Timing and execution are crucial in performing Aerial Raves effectively, as a mistimed attack can break the combo.
