Getsuga Tenshō

Getsuga Tenshō (月牙天衝 "Moon-Fang Heaven Piercer") is Ichigo and Bankai Ichigo's standard special move in Super Smash Flash 2. An uncharged version of the move was also previously Bankai Ichigo's down special move prior to v0.2b of the SSF2 Demo. Ichigo and Bankai Ichigo swing their swords, releasing a strong crescent moon-shaped wave of energy. When Bankai Ichigo uses this move, it is called Kuroi Getsuga (黒月牙 Black Moon Fang). The move is chargeable (like Naruto's standard special). Ichigo's version charges relatively quickly and deals great knockback at full charge, but unlike other characters with chargeable Neutral Specials, Ichigo can't retain his charge, from v0.7 onwards. The Zangetsu does 14% when it hits an opponent and it the projectile does 28 % damage. It is arguably one of the most powerful projectiles in the game, KOing at less than 40% for most characters. Also, Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho has very high priority, cutting through the majority of projectiles even when uncharged. Bankai Ichigo's version charges slower, but he can still retain his charge.

Fully-charged Kuroi Getsuga
The fully-charged Kuroi Getsuga has a larger hitbox, does more damage and has more knockback than the uncharged and medium charged variants of the move. While delivering the strike, a wall of Hollow energy surrounds him on either side which will deal damage and knock away any opponents that are close enough. After the attack, Ichigo will rip off his Hollow mask with a shattering noise before his Inner Hollow can do any more damage. The main drawback to this attack in Super Smash Flash 2 is that it takes about 1/3 of Ichigo's Final Smash bar to charge and even if Ichigo is preparing to unleash the attack, it can be stopped with a single hit though he will be immune to any attacks while unleashing the attack. The projectile itself also has an extremely low priority, allowing it to be out-prioritized by 's Super Arm or a regular Getsuga Tenshō. These flaws in all make this attack difficult to use effectively. This move can one-hit KO any opponent in a small stage like Final Destination.

A good tip is to never use this attack unless your opponent(s) are all CPU controlled and you have KO'ed all of them; when a final smash is in progress, CPU controlled opponent(s) will always stay as long as possible on the revival platform so they can wait out a good portion of the wrath a Final Form can bring, giving Bankai Ichigo plenty of time to fully charge up his attack.

Trivia

 * The Smash Flash DOJO!! incorrectly romanizes this move as "Getsuga Tenshou".
 * Prior to version 0.2b of the demo, the Getsuga Tenshō had a purple and black aura. This was recolored red and black.
