You can go straight vertically up or down, or diagonally up-left/up-right. The angles you can release at are a bit different when you bunt. If you hold the Bunt button while in the tornado animation, the ball will be bunted when it is released instead of hit. You can use this to fake out people who try to predict the timing of the release. This will make you stay in the tornado animation for a second longer before releasing the ball, and add a bit more speed to it. You can also delay the ball release by holding the Swing button when you activate the special. This gives you six different trajectories to send the ball that you can choose, and launches very quickly. You can send it horizontally in front or behind you, or diagonally up/down in front or behind you. While you’re in this spin, you can hold a direction to send the ball to. When he uses it, he flies into a tornado-looking spin (see the picture above). Raptor can use his special out of a regular hit or a smash hit. Let’s get into what each character can do now. Depending on your character, your special will do different things.
When the meter is full, hit the ball and press the Swing button again before you release it (you can also press the Grab button). This will give you the last charge to fill your meter. By default, you need 4 charges to fill the meter. To use your special, you first have to fill up your special meter. The special meter is just below it, and it has three charges. Toxic has a network of graffiti writers spread out over the city that give her the low-down on all the happenings in the streets.Above is an image of the health bar and special meter. She sports a huge mechanical arm, loaded with spray cans, which she uses to complete the paint wherever she pleases. Creativeness is the law with toxic, being able to dish out many complex attacks with relative ease, though you may have to spend some time learning to ball hog in order to execute some of her better offensive options. Finally, you can use spray as a defensive mechanism, eliminating the need to focus on certain spots of the map, or outright covering almost all of your hitbox. Double sprays and clear, consistent parry setups are great ways to bait and punish your opponent’s covers. If you have a spray placed somewhere and the ball is flying around, the opponent must be weary of it at all times, and the possibility to send spray into a different direction from your angle is also a big boon. It forces your opponent to either tap charge or be very precise, all in a short amount of time. Spray really makes this character, though.
However, her clinging can be somewhat awkward, whereas latch has a much easier time with vertical movement on the wall. Her ability to cling to the wall allows for some good ball hogging, especially if you have a spray down, as the opponent must be weary of the possible reaction check and / or timing mixup. You can make a case that air down, up and bspike can be used as good ball hogging angles, as they are either wide or very tight, but her movement and height do take some points away from her ability to control the ball. Some of her angles have just enough deviation from the norm that it allows her to have a slight offensive boost, particularly up, gdown and fspike. Toxic isn’t as clearly defined as some of the other characters, but she does have some advantages when it comes to ball hogging and offense, as well as a slight defensive boost, particularly through the use of spray.
