Atom Smasher

[4+(60 Flash)+15f startup / 3f <4x9> active / 103f recovery / -25 on block]
Invulnerable starting at frames 1-25 All
Note: Even if it does look like it hits the screen multiple times, it will completely whiff if the first hit was dodged
Fatal Recovery
If Atom Smasher was done in the air, you'll be in a FC state until you land
Can be used to punish the opponent from far away, and a good way to counter fullscreen zoning
Fast startup, but very slow recovery
Can be rolled through on reaction, making it very risky to do if the opponent is up close

[4+(60 Flash)+30f startup / 3f <4x9> active / 91f recovery / +2 on block]
Invulnerable starting at frames 1-37 All
Note: Even if it does look like it hits the screen multiple times, it will completely whiff if the first hit was dodged
Fatal Recovery

Slow startup, requires a hard read for this to land against someone fullscreen
+2 on block, making you safe even when Atom Smasher IB'd
Can be used as a reversal and can catch rolls when they do it mindlessly after super flash, but you'll be opened for a huge punish if they read it correctly

Same startup as C Atom Smasher, while also being +2 on block like D Atom Smasher
Can be used to punish the opponent from far away, and a really good way to counter fullscreen zoning
On CH, you can run up and get a short combo depending on where the opponent is at. Even if they are at a fullscreen distance away from you
One of Adachi's best metered reversals, but be careful still as it can be rolled and backdashed on reaction
