Fail throws his trident and hops on, travelling until he hits the opponent or the edge of the screen. At any point during Riptide, he can choose to press P or K to exit early and enter recovery. [4]6S sends Fail horizontally, while [2]8H sends him upwards at a steep angle.

P cancel stops the attack immediately and sends him into a short recovery period.
K cancel will cause Fail to jump upwards out of the attack, giving him a strong mixup opportunity.
