Zack

Hailing from Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, Zack Fair has unexpectedly followed Cloud into Smack Studio! Sporting a similar moveset to the other Buster Sword-wielding fighter (being an Echo Fighter and all), he has some different attacks and attributes that differentiate him from the other hottie. Less of an all-rounder, and more focused on rushing at the opponent, he has some generally faster normal attacks better suited for combos or approaching, but suffers from less defense in comparison, and lacks projectiles of any kind.

NEUTRAL SPECIAL: BRAVER
Spin forwards, then perform a wide and powerful slash. It does a lot of damage, but has very generous endlag. Press Special at any point during the spin to immediately perform the slash. Hold Up or Down before the spin to spin at an upwards angle or a straight angle, respectively.
The Limit Break version is faster, deals more damage, has much less ending lag, and it's much stronger at KOing.

SIDE SPECIAL: CROSS SLASH
Perform a combination of slashes, finishing with a "misfortune" kanji. It deals really good damage, however it lacks in knockback.
The Limit Break version immediately performs all slashes, as well as having Super Armour during the active frames, dealing more damage and knockback.

UP SPECIAL: CLIMHAZZARD
A leaping reverse gripped slash. If the special button is pressed again, it is followed with short, reverse grip slash which launches the opponent downwards, although it requires Zack to be fairly close to the opponent for this second slash to connect.
The Limit Break version locks you out from performing the descending slash, however, it has much more vertical momentum and velocity, as well as a considerably higher aerial drift, making it excellent for recoveries. In addition to that, it has a strong ascending hitbox, making it a decent KO move.

DOWN SPECIAL: LIMIT CHARGE / FINISHING TOUCH
Holds the Buster Sword vertically in front of himself and remains still in order to manually charge the Ultra bar. When the Ultra bar is full, you can perform the Limit Break version of any special move, which is an upgraded version of it. In addition to that, his grounded and aerial movement speed is increased, especially his aerial drift.
Using this move with a full bar of meter will result in Zack performing two ascending slashes which stun the opponent and finishes them off with a wide arcing slash which causes a very powerful meteor smash.

ULTRA: OMNISLASH
Only useable with a full bar of meter. Lunge forward holding the Buster Sword horizontally. An opponent struck by the initial hit will receive a barrage of slashes, finishing the combo with a downwards strike, which will launch them forwards.

LAP compatible
