Meteor Break

«Meteor Break» (メテオ・ブレイク) is a 7-hit Combo Sword Skill, which utilizes both One-handed Straight Sword and Martial Arts techniques, in Sword Art Online, New ALfheim Online and Project Alicization.

Description
The first strike of the 7-hit combo is a strong downward strike to the right. Afterwards, the user twists their wrist and swings the sword back up, retracing the trajectory of the first strike with a motion similar to a golf club’s swing. Then, going against the expectation of monster opponents, the user rams the target with their left shoulder, instead of swinging downwards with their sword again. This tackle is followed by a vertical swing at the swaying target and another tackle with the user’s right shoulder. Finally, the skill is concluded with a horizontal slash from right to left, aimed at the target’s neck.

Usage

 * Volume 1 Chapter 9/Episode 8:

Trivia

 * Meteor Break is the only known Sword Skill that combines the usage of a sword and unarmed fighting skills.
 * The anime only portrays the initial move of the skill, but does not show the remaining 6 hits.
 * Although it said that the skill is a 7-hit combo, only 6 skills have been described. Most likely an error on the author’s part.
