Description
In the fighting games industry, a Ki Blast refers to a type of projectile attack that characters can use to strike opponents from a distance. These attacks are often visually represented as energy balls or waves and are a staple in many fighting games, particularly those inspired by anime and manga. Ki Blasts allow players to apply pressure from afar, control space, and create opportunities to initiate combos. They are typically easy to execute and can be a crucial part of a character's move set, offering both offensive and defensive utility. Ki Blasts can vary in speed, size, and power, adding layers of strategy to their usage.
Examples
- In 'Dragon Ball FighterZ,' characters like Goku and Vegeta use Ki Blasts to keep opponents at bay and extend their combos. Goku's Ki Blast can be fired rapidly, making it difficult for opponents to approach.
- In 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,' the character Lucario can use an attack called 'Aura Sphere,' which is essentially a Ki Blast. The size and power of the Aura Sphere increase as Lucario takes more damage, adding a strategic element to its use.
Additional Information
- Ki Blasts are often inspired by the Dragon Ball series, where characters regularly use energy-based attacks in battles.
- The effectiveness of a Ki Blast can depend on various factors such as the character's stats, the game's mechanics, and the player's skill level.
