Vertical Square

«Vertical Square» (バーチカル・スクエア) is a 4-hit Combo One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill in Sword Art Online, New ALfheim Online and Project Alicization.

Description
«Vertical Square» is activated with a powerful stamp. The first strike of this Sword Skill is a vertical slash from an overhead position with little backward motion, similar to the 1-hit «Vertical». This slash is followed by two upward vertical slashes. Finally, the skill is concluded with a full-power downward slash from an overhead position. Similarly to the «Horizontal Square», a square, drawn with the four hits of this skill, continues to spin as it dissipates.

Trivia

 * Vertical Square is one of Kirito's favourite Sword Skills.
 * The first season of the anime portrays Vertical Square as more of a diagonal or even horizontal square, despite it having "vertical" in its name.
 * In the anime adaptation of Calibur, Kirito used Horizontal Square instead of Vertical Square.
 * A modified version of «Vertical Square» was included in the updated version of «Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax», known as «Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax Ignition», as a special move used by Konno Yuuki.
