Neutral Special – Center Axis Relock
When the special button is pressed, John Wick aims his pistol in his signature center axis relock firing stance. He can aim the pistol forwards in a straight line or diagonally upwards if the up button is held. A reticle appears in the direction where he is aiming and if the opponent is in the line of fire, the reticle tracks them. John Wick fires a shot at the reticle when the special button is released.
Forward Special – Judo Rush
John Wick dashes forward and grabs the opponent if they get close. After an opponent is grabbed, John Wick can choose a follow up by pressing any of the four cardinal directions.
Forward – John punches the opponent in the stomach, sending them flying forwards.
Back – The opponent is swung behind John Wick as he follows up the throw with a chop to the throat.
Up – John pulls his gun out and shoots the opponent in the head.
Down – The opponent is thrown over John’s shoulder and slammed into the ground.
Up Special – Dragon’s Breath
John Wick propels himself upwards with the Dragon’s Breath shotgun, attempting to grab the opponent at the same time. If the grab hits, John Wick is able to perform the same four follow-ups as with Judo Rush.
Down Special – Double Knifehand Strike
Holding Down Special causes John Wick to raise both of his hands in preparation to attack. John Wick performs a double knifehand strike after the special button is released. The longer the special button is held, the longer the attack stuns the opponent if it hits. John Wick can also turn the attack around if back is held while letting go of the special button.
Misc.
– John Wick can cancel into a jump if Forward Tilt hits
– Back Air and Down Air both apply momentum
– Up Air has a much stronger initial hit
– There is a secret taunt on the character. Find it on your own
