Strikeborn footage labels Black Flash interactions around several Vessel Sorcerer moves, but the exact trigger may depend on timing, dash state, direction, or a counter condition. The current evidence supports where to inspect—not one universal input—so this guide remains noindex until a repeatable current-build test is recorded.
| Move | Visible label or branch | Showcase window | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Divergent Fist | Black Flash interaction shown | 00:35–00:44 | Needs Retest |
| Slide Kick | Variant and Black Flash interaction shown | 00:45–01:04 | Needs Retest |
| Cursed Beatdown | Air variant and Black Flash interaction shown | 01:05–01:24 | Needs Retest |
| Manji Kick | Counter/Black Flash labels shown | 01:25–01:34 | Needs Retest |
Establish the ordinary animation, distance, and hit cue first.
Change only the timing; keep move, device, target, and distance stable.
Record whether dash state changes the cue instead of assuming it is required.
Wait for the visible hit before testing the follow-up.
Write the input, distance, device, ping, count, and visible result without sending it to analytics.
| Branch | Hold constant | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Divergent Fist | Normal animation, distance, direction, ten-attempt count | That another game's timing applies |
| Slide Kick | Normal result, variant result, dash state, failure result | That the visible variant and Black Flash share one trigger |
| Manji Kick | Incoming action, counter timing, failed-counter result | That Black Flash appears without a successful read |
No. Similar names do not establish the same timing, dash state, direction, or counter condition in Strikeborn.
Change one variable at a time and wait for the previous hit cue. The current evidence does not prove which variable triggers the branch.
No. A move branch and an inescapable route are different claims and require different tests.
Supports: Footage dated 2026-08-27 shows Vessel Sorcerer, Black Swordsman, Wild Hunter, named move labels, variants, and ultimates.
Limit: Recorded footage is not proof that every shown character, move, timing, or interaction is unchanged in the current build.
