Sniper Rifle

Sniper Rifle is 's standard special move in Super Smash Flash 2.

Overview
When performed, Krystal pulls out a large sniper rifle into her hands and holds it out in front of herself. A straight line of fire then appears from it and she fires a purple laser in the line's direction. The laser deals slash damage and weak knockback to opponents, and it gets stronger as it travels. When used on the ground, Krystal kneels down and the rifle can be angled upward and downward with directional inputs. The move suffers from high startup and ending lag, leaving Krystal vulnerable while using it.

Origin
The Sniper Rifle is a powerful weapon used by the Star Fox team in Star Fox: Assault. Unlike most other weapons in the game, it cannot be fired normally, as instead the user must scope with it. While scoping, the user cannot move around, but they are able to aim the weapon freely and zoom their view in. The thin laser blasts fired by this weapon are very powerful, and the magniscope allows it to be used at far distances from user's target. However, the weapon's low rate of fire and the user's inability to move while scoping make it risky to use, as it leaves the user vulnerable to attack.
