Special Moves

or or
• Omega Strike •
Omega Red shoots both his tentacles into the ground and kicks forward depending on the button(s) you press. Light Kick travels straight across the screen, Hard Kick diagonally up-towards, and both kicks at the same time make him push directly up.

Also, pressing Down + Kick when you're doing this move will make Omega Red cancel it wherever he's at, and pressing Back + Kick will make him retract his tentacles in whichever direction he traveled from.

or or (Can also be done in the air)
• Carbonadium Coil •
Throws a tentacle at your opponent, if it hits you can shock them by pressing Punch or Kick buttons. Punches take off power, Kicks drain Hyper meter.

After shocking them a few times, you can do a follow up throw by pressing in a direction on the joystick and any Punch or Kick. You can toss your opponent up into the air and follow up with an air combo even, although the timing can be tricky.

Light Punch fires a tentacle straight across the screen, Hard Punch diagonally up-towards and both punches directly up. This works the same regardless if you're on the ground or jumping.

Also, pressing a Punch button as your tentacle flies out will cancel this move.

or or (In the air)
• Downward Carbonadium Coil •
All the rules for Omega Red's regular Carbonadium Coil apply here, except it flies out at different angles. Light Kick is the same as Light Punch, which goes straight across the screen, but Hard Kick comes out diagonally down-towards, and both Kicks at the same time make it shoot directly down.

Also, pressing a Kick button as your tentacle flies out will cancel this move.

or
• Air Dash •
Omega Red can dash forward in the air by using either of these two commands.

Hyper (Super) Moves

• Omega Destroyer •
Flails your tentacles in all directions, hitting pretty much anything in sight. Doesn't do a lot of damage unless you're fairly close though.

(In the air)
• Omega Smasher •
You'll air dash and if you collide with your enemy, you'll do a series of moves which takes off a healthy portion of life. Use Omega's Carbonadium Coil to toss them into the air, and catch them as they come down with the Omega Slasher.

Command Normals

or or
• Ground Tentacles •
Pressing a downwards direction and Hard Kick will make Omega Red shoots his tentacles up through the ground. Holding Down-Back keeps them close, about sweep range. Holding Down hits at around mid-screen, and Down-Towards will connect from full-screen's distance.
