Description

Chris does a double-handed horizontal swinging punch that spins him around once.

Strategy

The main usage of this move is mainly not only as a forward advancing poke, but moreso a solid combo tool as it's cancel-able on hit or block. Chris moves forward a notable nudge while also swinging his arms forward, though it becomes more rewarding in closer-quarters as the said nudge allows Chris to stick to his foe during combos and/or blockstrings.

However, Spinning Array/Muyou no Ono is still hampered by being very slow on recovery, meaning you need to commit to muscle memory or automatic decision to prevent being punished on said recovery. Shooting Dancer Thrust is often a common followup, though super cancelling it can also work out.
