The Fighting Style of Bannon
Bannon’s fighting style is a blend of dexterity and speed, with a strong emphasis on taekwondo. Her striking attack is anchored by quick kicks and rapid-fire punching combinations.
She is constantly in motion, comfortable in either stance and adept at delivering body kicks and straight punches. Her taekwondo background lends her impressive speed and agility, allowing her to effectively mix up her head and body kicks.
However, Bannon’s fighting style is not without its challenges. She tends to be awkward in the pocket, often getting hit and momentarily derailing, allowing opponents to follow up with combinations before she can tie up or retreat to a safer distance. Despite this, her durability is commendable, and she recovers quickly.
