Description
In the context of fighting games, 'Low Crush' refers to a specific type of move or technique that allows a character to evade or counter an opponent's low attacks. These moves often involve the character becoming airborne or assuming a stance that makes them immune to low-hitting moves. Low Crush techniques are strategically important because they allow players to punish opponents who rely heavily on low attacks, which are typically quick and can be difficult to block. By employing a Low Crush move, a player can disrupt their opponent's rhythm and create opportunities for counter-attacks. Understanding and effectively using Low Crush techniques can significantly enhance a player's defensive and offensive capabilities in a match.
Examples
- In 'Tekken 7', many characters have Low Crush moves. For example, Kazuya's 'Rising Uppercut' can evade low attacks due to its airborne nature, allowing him to launch a powerful counter-attack.
- In 'Street Fighter V', Ryu's 'Hurricane Kick' (Tatsumaki Senpukyaku) goes airborne, making it a Low Crush move that can bypass an opponent's low kicks and sweeps, hitting them from above instead.
Additional Information
- Low Crush moves are often paired with High Crush and Mid Crush moves, which counter high and mid attacks respectively.
- Effectively using Low Crush moves requires timing and anticipation, as mistiming can leave the player vulnerable.
