Hero Skills / Full Swing is Ichiban's neutral special move.

Overview

On the ground, a menu of four skills appears above Ichiban's head. Pressing the control stick in one of four directions will activate the skill associated with that direction, providing Ichiban with a buff to his stats. Each skill lasts for 15 seconds (except for Hero's Healing), and upon running out, is placed on a 60 second cooldown before it can be used again. If the player does not wish to cast a skill, this move can be cancelled with the shield button.

If Ichiban is KO'd, all currently active buffs are removed, and all cooldowns are reset. If Ichiban is interrupted before the skill is actually cast, the skill he attempted to use is not placed on cooldown.

↑: Hero's Encouragement - Increases the damage and knockback of all of Ichiban's moves.

←: Hero's Flair - Increases Ichiban's defense and knockback resistance.

→: Hero's Wisdom - Increases the chance for Ichiban's smash attacks to result in a critical hit.

↓: Hero's Healing - Heals Ichiban by 20%.

In the air, Ichiban spins rapidly while holding his bat out, becoming surrounded by a blue tornado as he ascends slightly into the air. The play can hold left or right on the control stick to control his movement, and if the control stick is held down, Ichiban will move downwards instead. This move can only be used once per airtime, and does not put Ichiban in free-fall.

Origin

The skills menu, as seen in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Essence of Full Swing, as seen in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

Hero Skills is based off of the skill menu present in Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. All of the skills Ichiban can use in Ultimate are based off of skills learned by his unique Hero class, using the names from Infinite Wealth.

Full Swing is based off of Essence of Full Swing, a Heat Action learned by the Hero class in Yakuza: Like a Dragon at level 28. Ichiban's neutral special specifically takes inspiration from only part of the move, specifically the moment in which Ichiban spins around the enemies like a top before going in for the finishing blow.
