How to Win Speed Impacts

Starting it off is Speed Impact, which is typically triggered when you and an opponent use a Dragon Dash against one another. It can also be triggered if a Rush Super and a Dragon Dash meet.

What can make this one of the more complicated Impacts is that it’s divided into two stages.

Stage 1

The first is called the Single Strike stage and features a larger circle shrinking into a smaller one. Pressing the prompt will stop the circle, with your job being to get it as close as possible to the center. Don’t feel bad if you miss-time it at first because it does shrink deceptively fast. This is an important step because whoever stops it closer to the center will win the Speed Impact.

Stage 2

Coming after that is the Rapid Strike stage. No matter who won the first stage, the objective is to mash the shown button prompt as fast as you can. The winner will be doing this to increase the damage they inflict, and the loser will mash to mitigate it. The Speed Impact ends with the winner punching the loser hard enough to send them flying.

As with every Impact Action, you can also press the Boost Button (RT/R2) for some helpful bonuses. It can be used once during the Single Strike stage to make the timing more lenient. In the Rapid Strike stage, it can be used up to three times to enhance your attacks. This one has the most times available to boost, which also means it’s the easiest to overdo it. Each Boost takes up one gauge of ki, and using too much will put you in a Collapsed state. You’ll be forced to recover and will lose your chance to follow up.
