Sonic Thrust

Sonic Thrust, known in Japan as Blink Fast Sword (瞬迅剣,Shunjinken), is 's side special move in Super Smash Flash 2. Lloyd thrusts his swords forward. The attack deals 9%. Sonic Thrust was usually used at the end of combos in Lloyd's Linked Artes Mechanic. For example, Sonic Thrust could have been used instantly after Demon Fang, with no wind-up, to become "Demonic Thrust", which does more damage than either Sonic Thrust or Demon Fang alone. However, Lloyd can no longer do the Linked Artes so he can no longer perform this combo. The moves down side is it has a massive amount of ending lag. The aerial version will send Lloyd instantly in any direction, but is an ineffective recovery option due to its ending lag and short range.
