Description[]
Executed by performing a quarter-circle back motion and pressing punch (or pressing back and Special Attack for Modern Control), Lily spins her clubs around her head. Once she finishes, she gains a Windclad (風纏 Fūten?) stock. Lily can gain additional stocks by holding the button down.
The version puts the clubs down once the button is let go. The and versions have her swing both her clubs down for an attack. Tapping two punch buttons for the OD version has Lily performing the attack while holding two punch buttons performs the feint..
Tactics[]
This move is critical to Lily's gameplan. It is the only way for Lily to increase her Windclad stock. Having at least one Windclad stock amplifies her next Condor Spire, Tomahawk Buster, Condor Dive, and Thunderbird in terms of damage output or frame advantage. Condor Wind can be cancelled from most of Lily's normals or unique attacks.
The Light version allows Lily to increase her Windclad stock without attacking the opponent. The Medium and Heavy version has Lily swinging her clubs at the opponent, resulting in a knockdown on hit. Medium Condor Wind has a faster startup, while the Heavy version inflicts more damage. Both versions are also -8 on block. However, it can be difficult for the opponent to punish due to the pushback of this move.
The OD version inflicts the most damage and has the fastest startup. Holding two punch buttons allows Lily to quickly increase her Windclad stock by one with minimal risk. Hitting the opponent with the OD version results in the opponent spinning in midair, making it a decent combo extender. It is also -5 on block, making it more difficult for the opponent to punish her.
