The Vortex (Inspired by Badger Defense):
Execution:
Requires almost perfect timing, difficult.
Severity:
Aims to injure and disarm the opponent, non-lethal.
Style:
Counter-attack - defense.
Proficiency:
Executed well rarely, done only on sure-hit situations.
Description:
Utilizing the timing of a front dive, the cat playing defense dives above and twists belly-up early, spinning his front paws to deliver a deep, painful
scratch above the head with immense force propelled by the torque of the cat's lower body. Causes severe bleeding to the opponent's face with the
purpose of limiting their vision.
"Snakestrike" (inspired by Front Paw Strike):
Execution:
Requires close-range brawls, case-specific.
Severity:
Aims to damage and put the opponent out of the fight, compounding.
Style:
Counter-attack - offense.
Proficiency:
Intuitively engrained, signature move.
Description:
Type 1 -
When in close fighting range, the cat facing their opponent quickly does a fake ducking motion in order to feint into a front paw strike (closing the
distance).
Type 2 -
When in paw's reach, the cat facing their opponent does a "whip" slash instead of going in a direct arc, aims to throw the opponent off and avoid any
limbs blocking their strike.
