Ryuusei

Ryuusei is a Technique for Ace, obtained by defeating Capital Punishment. When used, Ace will hover in the air for a split second before flying straight downwards, damaging enemies below him with a giant red fist. When flying downwards, Ace is able to slowly reorient himself horizontally. (To check: Invincibility on-hit like Zen Ascent?) Upon impact with the ground, Ace will create two spark projectiles that will travel along terrain. The farther Ace falls before hitting the ground when using Ryuusei, the more damage it will, gaining an additional 2.5x Power Strength up to two times with far enough falls.

Stage Interactions

 * Burning Temple: Temporarily disables conveyor belts. Also deals 999 damage to the totems in Zen Primus's boss fight, destroying them instantly.
 * Echocave: Forces moles out of hiding and stuns them.
 * Penumbra: Deals 999 damage to the stained glass during the second phase of Absolution's boss fight, destroying them instantly.

Strategies

 * The high damage of Ryuusei allows it to easily deal with tanky enemies which may take multiple hits from other Techniques.

Trivia

 * The speed at which Ryuusei flies down is greater than the standard falling speed, allowing Ace to progress in downward sections (like the Highvault wind section) faster than Nina can.
 * Projectiles spawned by Ryuusei can get caught on and will rotate around an Orbital Barrier. It is currently unknown if this is a bug.
