Description
Executed by performing two quarter-circle forward motions and pressing kick, Jamie does an extended version of Bakkai, doing a final wheel kick to knock his opponent into the air while he gets back onto his feet.
Holding during the initial stages of Breakin', Jamie has a drink while doing a handstand and cancels the rest of the attack; this adds 1 Drink stock if successful.
Tactics
Breakin' is used as both a reversal and a combo ender. The drink variation does 350 less damage and leaves Jamie with only a slight advantage on hit. In either case however, the move is extremely unsafe on block.
Trivia
- Breakin's Japanese name is an example of ateji, the usage of kanji for their phonetic sound rather than their individual meanings. Bureikin, while meaning 'graceful warrior bird' when read separately, references the breakdance kicks Jamie uses for the attack.
