A DFA, or "Death From Above" (not to be confused with a [[Kata|Katas]] or [[Lunge|Lunges]]) is a special move initiated by pressing forward, jump and attack at once. They tend to restrict the player's movement, making them open to attacks, but do a large amount of damage.

== Red DFA ==
== Red DFA ==
Generally when referring to "DFA" with no further description, this is the move being referred to. The player leaps forward striking the ground with his saber dealing very high damage, usually enough to instantly kill a player. When used accurately, its high damage and swiftness makes it a good [[Counter Style|counter]] attack against other slow special moves, making it [[Red Style|Red's]] only effective counter attack. Its' long cool down period leaves the player very exposed, so it should usually only be used when you are certain it will kill the target.

In [[JK2]] [[MP]], the move is done by pressing jump during a combo. JK2 [[SP]] follows roughly the same guidelines as JKA. This results in a large forward lunge which is capable of killing a player in one hit.

== Staff and Dual Butterfly ==
== Staff and Dual Butterfly ==
With [[staff]] or [[dual]], the same combo causes the player to begin a multiple hit combo in which they travel forwards spinning around. These moves can also be done to the left and right. There is a limited amount of control over which direction the player moves in, by turning with the mouse, but the direction is locked for parts of the move.

By pushing back instead of forward with the staff, you can perform a backflip move.
