Instead of Up, you can also input Up/Back or Up/Forward + Punch. Noose is a move which teleports Black into the air, twirling his energy scythe for a while as long as you hold the Punch button,
then lunges straight down to the ground with an overhead strike with the scythe.
The LP version teleports Black back a short distance, MP in the middle of the screen and SP switching sides with the opponent.
When Blood Buffed, the non-EX scythe attack creates a fast energy wave shooting across the ground.
The EX version is a different attack alltogether, a homing-teleporting excecution attack. After grabbing the opponent's head, Black
slashes down through them. Keep in mind this attack won't be as succesful when performed as the opponent is jumping or falling.
If the opponent has a fast enough reaction, they can evade this EX version by crouching.
