Bravery Attacks

All of Kuja's bravery attacks have a ground an aerial version. Attack data is shared between both versions. Barring Remote Flare and Ring Holy, Kuja's bravery attacks have different followups depending on how close he is to his opponent.

With Burst Energy (far), Snatch Blow, Strike Energy (close) and Snatch Shot (close), the number of hits listed is the one players commonly get when they have a good positioning and timing. It is possible to get less or more hits depending on position. When the opponent is cornered, it is possible to get as many as 16 hits. It is unclear if and what the maximum limit of hits is.
