Drips

Drips is one of Isla's Special Moves, debuting alongside her in The King of Fighters XV.

Description
Amanda gives Isla a boost either forward, backward, or upwards, acting as a command jump for Isla.

Strategy
The creme de la creme of Isla's vicious mix-up game, this move grants Isla unprecedented aerial mobility, as only Shun'ei can compete in the air with his Thruster Vision.

The Forward version can be used as an approach tool or for easier cross-ups with Isla's "taco", being her jumping. Additionally, it can also be performed after a or EX To Front on hit.

The Backward version, on the other hand, can be used either to retreat from the opponent or to bait out an anti-air (e.g., jump in on Ash, wait for him to pull out a Nivose, then profit).

The Vertical version can be used for just about anything; hop over lows or low projectiles (such as Yamibarai or Power Wave), goad the opponent into approaching Isla, or to redirect Isla's jump/hop trajectory in the air.

Trivia

 * Much like Shun'ei's Thruster Vision resembling the Air Dash from anime fighters made by ArcSys Works (such as Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, or Persona 4: Arena), Drips is KOF's equivalent to those games' Double Jumps. Additionally, Oro could also perform double jumps during his appearances in the Street Fighter III series and Street Fighter V.
