Phoenix Style

Phoenix Style is one of the Legendary Beast Styles linked with the element of Fire. This fighting style is created by those who have witnessed the grace and power of the phoenix, an ancient firebird of legend and myth. The Phoenix Style has its roots in several ancient civilizations, but unlike the Dragon Style, the Phoenix Style has grown to combine and hybridize the numerous techniques of its ancient predecessors. However, there are a select few people who still practice the old styles. Because the high-flying phoenix is the source of inspiration for this technique, Phoenix Style users are often capable of using Wind-type techniques as well.
==Description==
The Phoenix style is often considered a direct contrast to the Dragon Style. The Phoenix Style takes the balance of power and speed of the Fire element, and combines it with amazing grace and agility to create a confounding and effective fighting style. The Phoenix Style uses both the upper body and the lower body to launch attacks, but for two entirely distinct attack forms. Phoenix Style fighters use their lower body to strike opponents with swift and powerful kicks imbued with flame, releasing fire-imbued sweeping attacks and sharp flame-powered kicks. Meanwhile, the upper body simulates wings, being used to attack with sweeping waves of flame or powerful blasts of fire. In other words a Phoenix Style uses their "talons" (legs) to strike the opponent at close range, while they use their "wings" (arms) to launch mid-range attacks. However, just like the phoenix or any bird, a Phoenix Style fighter will use their upper body in close-combat in conjunction with their kicking attacks.
In direct contrast to the Dragon Style, the Phoenix Style focuses on striking from the air. As such, the Phoenix Style combines sweeping flames and kicking attacks with jumps and launching attacks, with the goal of either attacking from above and/or knocking the opponent into the air to leave them vulnerable to a flurry of fiery kicks and blasts. A constant feature of this fighting style is the repeated use of fire boosts. This is done to launch the fighter in the air and stay up in the air, as well as to control one's direction while airborne. The result allows the fighter to continue their aerial assault, gain height to prepare for a powerful attack, or to simple evade attacks from enemies.
