Gauntlet Shot

Gauntlet Shot is Garnet's Up special move.
== Description ==
Garnet aims her gauntlets at her feet and shoots them, launching her upward and knocking away any opponents near her. This is one of her only projectiles, which travels similarly to Mega Man's Hard Knuckle, but with super armor. Holding B has Garnet enlarge her gauntlets, increasing the damage dealt and the height she ascends. Once the gauntlets are fired, you have to wait to land before being able to attack again as Garnet loses her hands in the process. Getting hit returns your gauntlets earlier.
=== Move Origin ===
This move combines two different abilities Garnet uses with her gauntlets. On a few occasions, Garnet had been able to fire her gauntlets off of her arms as exploding rockets. Since Gem weapons are light projections like the gems themselves, Garnet can reform her gauntlets immediately after, although the nubs where her hands would be are replaced with her gems. Garnet's ability to increase her gauntlets in size, while first appearing in the fictional story created by Steven in Garnet's Universe, became canon in Warp Tour when she increased her gauntlet size to destroy the Home Warp.
