Tempest

Tempest is a recurring attack used by Lloyd in the Super Smash Flash series.

In Super Smash Flash, it is 's up attack, though it was frequently mislabeled in official sources, along with earlier demos of Super Smash Flash 2, as Tiger Blade. The hitbox covered his entire body, and was recommended by the official strategy guide page to beat 100-Man mode with him.

In Super Smash Flash 2, it's 's side special move. When executing Lloyd jumps straight forward while spinning, it will home on opponents who are near Lloyd and deliver several hits to them. However, if Tempest doesn't home in on someone, then Lloyd will be put into a helpless state. It deals 16% damage.

Trivia

 * Tempest was Lloyd's former neutral aerial attack before the release of SSF2 Beta.
 * Tempest is one of three of Lloyd's attacks in SSF2 that take inspiration from his being made into a DLC costume for Mii Swordfighter characters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, being similar to Airborne Assault, one of the Mii Swordfighter's available side specials. The other two attacks to take inspiration from this are his down aerial and Rising Falcon.
