I believe that this card deserves some discussion and it should be given some due. This is a powerful card (no pun intended). It's a good difficulty and check with decent staring damage and an average block. The zone is mid, but that's where the effect of this card shines. The effect is also static so it cannot be negated. The effect basically sets up restrictions for what can and cannot block it. And we all remember that Shiramui Ninja Arts + Troubled Orphan combo that was played during Legacy to make block an attack absolutely impossible (even for Tycho)!

The symbol spread is excellent in my opinion. Having Air gives it access to momentum generation to exploit the Powerful ability of the card as well as Meat Eater to boost the Powerful rating. Air also gives it access to speed buffs (not like it's going to be needed half the time). Order gives the attack access to lockdown foundations such as Program Malfunction, Chinese Boxing, and Experienced Combatant as well as negation thanks to M. Bison's new support. Void gives it access to negation in the forms of No Memories and Kung Fu Training and also gives it hand control options to further assist the effect and to make sure it hits.

In my opinion, I think this card is a potential kill card in the correct deck. But I was wondering if anyone else had any opinions on this card. Is it a hit or another Sonic Boom attempt gone wrong?

Dude, this is a solid attack. All the points u have made sum it up so I will not post anymore than an agreement. This is the way Sonic Boom should be. When all else fails, I use Sonic Boom.-Guile, Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix.

lol

I think it's a solid kill card for a Wind Fio deck if you can't get your hands on Galactica Phantoms. Being a mid-attack, I'd have liked to have a higher printed speed, but it's got a solid check and is cheap enough to put on the end of an attack string for a nasty surprise. Overall, I like it (except for the fact that it the arch-enemy of ::Talim::.

If I ever run Talim, you can be darn sure I'm running this. To express my feelings for this card - I ordered all the copies I could find (3) before we'd even had our prerelease =D

The points have been made. Exceptionally solid attack FTW.

BLock 3 Rapheal loves this card so much =D

I adore this card, I think it's amazing. It has everything an Air deck could possibly ask for: Good numbers, an outlet for momentum, an effect that works without a cost and is Wind Dance-able. This has to be one of my favourite cards in the set. All your Sonic Boom are belong to me!

Dude this card could be THE kill card of block 3.

It's symbols just assist it flawlessly, powerful:2 and cheap difficulty mean that alongside LOTM this attack is coming in for ALOT of damage!

It's the nuke bomb attack I think ( coincidentally it combo's well with omnidirctional cluster bomb!).

Or it could just be another cheap defender loop target.

Expect this card to be worth alot of money. Chase rare by all means.

I think the more important part of this card to recognize is that its potentially voids kill card. Void has been getting great support but not great kills for some time now, this card potentially makes a lot of blocks useless and combined with sakio ryu can make an attack effectivley unblockable, which often times is better than actually blockable. Void dosent really have much in the means of mometnum gen that i can think off but its ability to push attacks through will help compensate for that.

Void/Order

Natural Leader and Lord of the Makai would generate enough momentum.

But then Void could just play Shin Shoryuken. Higher cost, but much higher return on investment.

But good Lord almight do I love this card. Soireeeeeeeeeeeee <3 <3 <3

The card does have a lot of potential, but in what type of deck do you think it would have the most success? Mono, dual, or tri-symbol? And what character do you think could rip this card in half? I'm thinking ***Alba*** in an Air and Order deck may be the one to abuse this card to it's greatest potential.

I'd run it off of void/order. Lead with Double Mottwich then hit em with a big ol' Sonic Boom. Chuck their hand with TWoP

I'm inclined to think that void can use things like sakyo ryu to discard the one card that can block it from a players hand with minimum investment. While the other symbols have makai/natural leader to generate momentum, they already have a plethora of kill cards that have a higher damage output than this one with less investment.

Characters like Promo Basara and Scott Mence both have abilities that combo well with this card to the point where it can absolutley serve as a kill condition in thier builds, especally now that basara has a suite of support stuff.

It's an amazing killswitch for Basara, but the problem comes into play when it's time to cough up that momentum. Where's he going to get it from? =/

Not that that will stop me. I really like Basara <3

i so happy i have 3 of these.
