During this move's duration, she gains the ability to do a special follow-up move where she extends her legs out diagonally, she can also turn around before doing this kick. The move meteor smashes when it connects in the initial frame, and can be used to catch bad edgeguarders off-guard, or even edgeguard a telegraphed recovery.
