Finishing Leap

Finishing Leap (フィニッシングリープ, Finisshingu Rīpu) replaced Glide as Sora's Up Special Move in version 0.8a of the Super Smash Flash 2 Demo. Sora performs a rising jump slash that deals 9% damage with his Keyblade. It can be cancelled, before Sora flips, by any attack, but this also cancels most vertical movement. It is one of the few up specials that does not leave the user in a helpless state. Finishing Leap is most commonly used as a recovery option close to the stage, but it can also be used as a potent out of shield option to escape pressure and begin combos.
