The Plasma Pulse Attack (プラズマ・パルス・アタック Purazuma Parusu Atakku?),[1] also known as the Metal Laser, is an attack used by Metal Sonic, first seen in Knuckles' Chaotix. It is an energy wave that Metal Sonic fires from his chest engine. Metal Sonic obtained this attack after his CPU was recovered by Dr. Robotnik from his previous defeat by Sonic the Hedgehog.[1]

Description[]

When Metal Sonic is performing the Plasma Pulse Attack, he charges up energy in the compression chamber inside his torso before firing a highly powerful energy wave from his chest engine.

Game appearances[]

Optional move I guess

The Plasma Pulse Attack in Knuckles' Chaotix

According to the Japanese manual of Knuckles' Chaotix, Dr. Robotnik recovered Metal Sonic's CPU prior to the events of the game. While constructing a replacement body for Metal Sonic using Dark Ring energy, Dr. Robotnik provided an additional component for Metal Sonic that enabled him to perform the Plasma Pulse Attack. In this game, the Plasma Pulse Attack's laser flashes orange and yellow.[1]

In gameplay, Metal Sonic appears and uses either this move or the V. Maximum Overdrive Attack on the player if they stand in one place for one minute in certain Stages and Acts. If this happens, the Combi partner will be temporarily lost.

When Metal Sonic transforms into Metal Sonic Kai, he gains the ability to use a stronger version of the Plasma Pulse attack, which fires a large orange beam.

Sonic the Fighters[]

In Sonic the Fighters, Metal Sonic is also able to utilize the Plasma Pulse Attack under the name Metal Laser.[citation needed] In the game, it is a unique projectile that Metal Sonic will fire after raising its hands in the air and can deal devastating damage to the opponent.
