>aerial ace's japanese name is tsubame gaeshi (swallow return) which is the name of famous swordsman Sasaki Kojiro's signature sword technique
>it was supposed to be so quick and precise that it could strike down a bird in mid-flight
should aerial ace be a priority move?
should it be able to hit pokemon who are using fly?

Never fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.

That's clearly a dust cloud because aerial ace caused gogoat to fall out of the air harshly.

Would it be better if explosions were replaced with blood?

Its emphasis is on its precision, not speed I guess.
But I wouldn't mind if swift was retooled to a special quick attack
>>24921205
Up until 5th gen I always thought it was priority due to the text, I just happened to have it on faster pokemon always.
At least some stuff with Technician gets it.

I agree.
Jessie should learn it by level-up.

>His favorite technique was both respected and feared throughout feudal Japan. It was called the "Turning Swallow Cut" or "Tsubame Gaeshi" (燕返し lit. "Swallow Reversal / Return"), and was so named because it mimicked the motion of a swallow's tail during flight as observed at Kintaibashi Bridge in Iwakuni. This cut was reputedly so quick and precise that it could strike down a bird in mid-flight. There are no direct descriptions of the technique, but it was compared to two other techniques current at the time: the Ittō-ryū's Kinshi Cho Ohken and the Ganryū Kosetsu To; respectively the two involved fierce and swift cuts downward and then immediately upwards. Hence, the "Turning Swallow Cut" has been reconstructed as a technique involving striking downward from above and then instantly striking again in an upward motion from below. The strike's second phase could be from below toward the rear and then upward at an angle, like an eagle climbing again after swooping down on its prey. Sasaki created this technique around 1605.
And yet neither Sasaki Kojirou nor Miyamoto Musashi appear in Pokémon Conquest, despite Swellow basically being designed as a Kojirou reference.
