Power Glove is the AVGN's down special move.
Description[]
The Nerd reaches forward, producing a shock that deals 9% damage, but more importantly, a stun that allows the Nerd to drag the opponent slowly through the screen for 2 seconds (but not below the Nerd for balancing reasons). After the seconds are up, the opponent goes to their footstool animation as they become FREED!!! Pressing the Special button again has the Nerd aggressively toss the opponent forward, which deals 10% damage to the opponent and 7% damage to anyone else they hit.
Usage[]
It has very low startup lag, making missed hits not too much of a downside, and the dragging can help relocate the opponent into a specific position for a territorial advantage, or the toss can be used for either raw damage or to just push the opponent away. In summary, Power Glove has many different uses, making for a good melee special for AVGN..
Origin[]
The Power Glove is shown as the topic of review in episode 14 of AVGN, but it's also often used as one of Nerd's battle accessories, usually for his Nintenerd costume (which could explain why it actually works here as apposed to not working at all).
