Hiken: Tsubame Gaeshi


 * -|Hiken: Tsubame Gaeshi=

Hiken: Tsubame Gaeshi (Secret Sword: Swallow Return) is a Special Move used by Ukyo Tachibana, first appearing in the original Samurai Shodown. The attack is named directly after the famed sword technique of Sasaki Kojiro.

Description
Ukyo slashes while airborne via his crouching heavy slash animation (a forward tucking-roll slash), creating an orange bird-shaped projectile of fire (shaped akin to a swallow) that flies in a downwards arc.

Later games however, omit the bird projectile to make it a multi-hitting flame slash instead.
