Hip Attack

Ikasu Hip as it appears in the PlayStation 2 remake of Tales of Destiny.

Hip Attack (イカスヒップ, Ikasuhippu^?, "Cool Hip"), also localized as Stylish Hip, is an unarmed strike arte primarily used by Bruiser Khang from Tales of Destiny.

Arte Description and History

The user jumps into the air and positions their body so that the enemy would be assaulted by their backside as they launch themself downward at an angle. In the PlayStation 2 remakes of Tales of Destiny, Bruiser can be use this arte from any distance in the air, canceling the aspect of the arte that requires a jump and allowing him to travel more quickly toward the ground. In Tales of the Rays, if used a second time, Khang will use his hip from the ground to send the enemy flying.
