## Movelist

### Special Moves

* **Sand Punch:** He puts his right fist on the ground and summons a sand fist where his opponent is located, however if not combo-linked, he/she recovers slightly fast. Serves as a long-distance Combo Opener.
	+ His Super Rhytmic version, **Rising Sand Punch**, has the fist dealing three hits in succession.
* **Contact Counter:** He assumes a defensive stance. When his opponent attacks, he counters it with a torso hold followed by two punches to his/her head and finishing with either a waist slam or a knee to the face that sends him/her to the ground. When done in a KI-Styled Rhythm Combo, the hold is performed immediately.
	+ His Super Rhytmic version, **Krav Maga Counter**, adds more three punches during the counter and a mandible claw before the final hit.
* **Mirage Mist:** He transitions himself into mist that teleports and attacks behind the opponent before reappearing himself back to his corporeal body. Serves as a Combo Opener.
	+ His Super Rhytmic version, **Mirage Avalanche**, has the mist attacking five times back and forth.
* **Desert Orb:** He summons a sand construct orb from the sky and launches it to his opponent. Delay the launch.
	+ His Super Rhytmic version, **Desert Tempest**, summons three spheres coming from different directions.

### Ultra Rhythmic Move

* **Just Deserts:**Jacob prepares by clenching his left hand as he says "Your end is near!", grabs his left hand in the ground and summons a big sand hand where his opponent is located. If this move connects, he sends his opponent to the bottom of the floor as he also teleports out of the stage. Then we cut to the inside of a humongous sand sphere, where his opponent is trapped in it and Jacob reappears, clenches his right hand as he says "Begone!" and starts to attack him/her with multiple sand attacks coming in different directions and then ejects his opponent from the sphere. We cut back to the scene as we see him/her ejecting back to the field flying and Jacob reemerging from the mist with his crossed arms as his opponent falls to the ground.

## Sequences

### Battle Intro

The camera focuses first on a sandstorm wave coming from the ground as Jacob later lands from the big jump causing a sand implosion, gets up, puts his amber glasses and says "Stand back or otherwise, I will make your life impossible!" before he goes on his Soul Maga stance.

### Match Point

Jacob grabs his glasses, cleans it with a scarf and then puts it back as he says "Better not ruin my business."

### Victory Pose

Jacob summons various sandstorms from various directions and then he starts floating with said sandstorms surrounding his feet as the camera focuses closely on him. Brown colored light streaks follow him post-sequence.
