General Gameplan

work in progress

Neutral

Your attacks have extremely long range, so use that to your advantage. At mid distance, F-Ryougi is extremely strong. Your long range pokes means that the enemy can't do much if they don't want to have their move stuffed. At long range, your dash 3C allows you to quickly punish from across the screen, same as knife. j.B gives you great control in air to air. j.C is amazing against anyone who's above you. None of your air attacks have good angles towards the ground, however, so try to stay on the ground unless you're approaching with an instant air dash.

Pressure

If you get the enemy to block an attack, make them block more. Although almost every attack is negative on block, the pushback and long range means that you're almost always safe. Plus, F-Ryougi does significant guard damage. Rekkas are safe outside of the first hit and 236C ender. 22A allows you to reset. 3C lets you get back in if you push yourself too far. 5[C] is very slow, but having it shielded turns into rock paper scissors, since F-Ryougi can cancel into 623 series which allows a followup combo should you guess correctly. Against Half Moon characters, there's no guess game involved, so them shielding your 5[C] nets you free damage.

Off of hard knockdown like A rekka ender, you can set up safe jump. F-Ryougi doesn't have any special mixups, but she can do things like neutral jump into drift and corner airdash mixups just fine.

Okizeme TBD

Defense

When you're getting pressured, there's not much you can do. If you know what they're going to use next and you know that you can time a 236C perfectly so that its active frames fall perfectly within 236C's invulnerability frames, you can give it a try. That's really silly, though, and will probably end up with eating 5k damage. So just block. Block a lot. You have no real reversals and you're full moon, so you can't H-Bunker or easily Heat as a reversal. A good part of F-Ryougi is making sure that you don't get forced into the corner.

Combos

Combo Notation Help
Disclaimer: Combos are written by various writers, so the actual notation used in pages can differ from the standard one. For more information, see Glossary and Controls.
X > Y	X input is cancelled into Y.
X > delay Y	Must wait for a short period before cancelling X input into Y.
X, Y	X input is linked into Y, meaning Y is done after X's recovery period.
X+Y	Buttons X and Y must be input simultaneously.
X/Y	Either the X or Y input can be used.
X~Y	This notation has two meanings. Use attack X with Y follow-up input. Input X then within a few frames, input Y. Usually used for option selects.
X(w)	X input must not hit the opponent (Whiff).
j.X	X input is done in the air, implies a jump/jump cancel if the previous move was done from the ground. Applies to all air chain sections: Assume a forward jump cancel if no direction is given. Air chains such as j.A > j.B > j.C can be shortened to j.ABC.
sj.X	X input is done after a super jump. Notated as sj8.X and sj9.X for neutral and forward super jumps respectively.
dj.X	X input is done after a double jump.
sdj.X	X input is done after a double super jump.
tk.X	Stands for Tiger Knee. X motion must be buffered before jumping, inputting the move as close to the ground as possible. (ex. tk.236A)
(X)	X is optional. Typically the combo will be easier if omitted.
[X]	Input X is held down. Also referred to as Blowback Edge (BE). Depending on the character, this can indicate that this button is held down and not released until indicated by the release notation.
]X[	Input X is released. Will only appear if a button is previously held down. This type of input is referred to as Negative Edge.
{X}	Button X should only be held down briefly to get a partially charged version instead of the fully charged one.
X(N)	Attack "X" should only hit N times.
(XYZ)xN	XYZ string must be performed N times. Combos using this notation are usually referred to as loops.
(XYZ^)	A pre-existing combo labelled XYZ is inserted here for shortening purposes.
CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit.
Air CH	The first attack must be a Counter Hit on an airborne opponent.
66	Performs a ground forward dash.
j.66	Performs an aerial forward dash, used as a cancel for certain characters' air strings.
IAD/IABD	Performs an Instant AirDash.
AT	Performs an Air Throw. (j.6/4A+D)
IH	Performs an Initiative Heat.
AD	Performs an Arc Drive.
AAD	Performs an Another Arc Drive.

Most j.236B enders can be switched for an airthrow. End in j.236B for extra damage and meter charge time. End in airthrow for okizeme. Let j.B hit once if you plan on ending with air throw. When doing 236A236[A]236A midscreen on an airborne opponent, enter the last 236A in reverse (214A), as 236[A] will cross under temporarily. In the corner, enter 236A normally.

Move Descriptions

Frame Data Help
Header	Tooltip
Move Box Colors	Light gray = Collision Box (A move lacking one means it can go through the opponent's own collision box). Green: Hurt Boxes. Red: Hit(/Grab) Boxes. Yellow: Clash Boxes (When an active hitbox strikes a clash box, the active hitbox stops being active. Multi-hit attacks can beat clash since they will still progress to the next hitbox.) Magenta: Projectile-reflecting boxes OR Non-hit attack trigger boxes (usually). Blue: Reflectable Projectile Boxes.
Damage	Base damage done by this attack. (X) denotes combined and scaled damage tested against standing V. Sion.
Red Damage	Damage done to the recoverable red health bar by this attack. The values are inherently scaled and tested against standing V. Sion. (X) denotes combined damage.
Proration	The correction value set by this attack and the way it modifies the scaling during a string. See this page for more details. X% (O) means X% Overrides the previous correction value in a combo if X is of a lower percentage. X% (M) means the current correction value in a combo will be Multiplied by X%. This can also be referred to as relative proration.
Circuit	Meter gained by this attack on hit. (X%) denotes combined meter gain. -X% denotes a meter cost.
Cancel	Actions this move can be cancelled into. SE = Self cancelable. N = Normal cancelable. SP = Special cancelable. CH = Cancelable into the next part of the same attack (Chain in case of specials). EX = EX cancelable. J = Jump cancelable. (X) = Cancelable only on hit. -X- = Cancelable on whiff.
Guard	The way this move must be blocked. L = Can block crouching H = Can block standing. A = Can block in the air. U = Unblockable.
Startup	Amount of frames that must pass prior to reaching the active frames. Also referred to as "True Startup".
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish. X denotes active frames with a duration separate from its origin move's frame data, such as projectile attacks. In this case, the total length of the move is startup+recovery only.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled. The character goes into one frame where they can block but not act afterwards, which is not counted here.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup that is at least 2 frames less than this move's negative advantage, it will result in the opponent hitting that move. ±x~±y denotes a range of possible advantages.
Invul	Lists any defensive properties this move has. X y~z denotes X property happening between the y to z frames of the animations. If no frames are noted, it means the invincibility lasts through the entire move. Invicibility: Strike = Strike invincible. Throw = Throw invincible. Hurtbox-Based Properties: Full = No hurtboxes are present. High = Upper body lacks a hurtbox. Low = Lower body lacks a hurtbox. Miscellaneous Properties Clash = Frames in which clash boxes are active. Reflect = Frames in which projectile-reflecting boxes are active. Super Armor = Frames in which the character can take hits without going into hit stun.

The range is not much for a F-Ryougi move, but it's still decent. If you really need to, you can use it as an emergency anti-air, but you'll probably get beat out. Good for frame traps and throw setups.

Air unblockable. Clashes. Just like 2B, don't whiff this. Can be crouched under at the extreme range. As long as you don't whiff, it's pretty safe.

2A

Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 300 151 75% (O) N, SP, EX, (J) LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 5 3 17 -8 2.7% - A lot of range for a 2A. It doesn't cancel to itself, however. Hits mid. If this gets blocked at close range, it's actually safer on block to continue into rekka. At most ranges, though, it's fairly safe on block since most moves that are fast enough can't reach.

2B	Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 500 353 90% (O) N, SP, EX, (J) L First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 7 4 17 -6 4.5% - Great range and good start up. Good poke. Hits low. If you whiff, you're stuck with an extended hitbox for a good while. If you make contact, it's pretty safe.

It's fast, it's got a great hitbox, and it's long enough to easy combo after. It's a two hitter, but you'll cancel the second hit into j.C a lot of the time during combos 'cause the second hit adds minimal damage (maybe 250 if you get both second hits in an air combo) and risks them getting too high for your combo ender to connect.

Moves you in real close. Plus, huge amounts of active frames. Definitely not safe on block unless you start it from far away. If you do it from that far, though, people can react and punish you. If you see them using something that takes a while, you can dash in and 3C for a fairly quick full screen punish.

Even less safe on block. ~236X Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 900 757 80% (O) -CH- LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4 4 16 -2 8.1% - ~236[X] Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1200 606 80% (O) -CH- LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 18 3 15 -1 10.8% - ~214X Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1200 909 75% (O) -CH- H First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 26 ~ 23 3 19 -7 10.8% - ~214D Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 450 353 100% (O) -EX- L First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 10 3 22 -7 4.05% - Rekka extenders. 236X: Just another slash. Safe on block. 236[X]: Just another slash. Won't combo on standing target from rekka starter. Use this on falling enemies, though, 'cause it will combo after those. Also use this in blockstrings once in a while to make frame traps. Safe on block. 214X: Overhead. Doesn't combo from rekka starter. Not safe on block. 214D: Ends the rekka. Hits low. Hard knockdown. Can be EX canceled. Not safe on block. 236A Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 700 404 50% (O) - LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 8 ~ 4 4 20 -6 6.3% - 236B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1200 808 40% (M) - LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 12 ~ 8 6 24 -12 10.8% - 236C Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1500 1010 100% -EX- LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 20 ~ 16 10 16 -10 13.5% - 236[C] Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1500 3030 100% -EX- U / LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 36 ~ 32 10 16 -8 13.5% - 214X/D Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 450 353 50% (O) - L First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 8 3 28 -13 4.05% - Rekka enders. 236A: HARD knockdown. Use this when you want oki. If you're using this on a falling enemy midscreen, enter the 236 in reverse (214) because the rekka extender will cross under. Safe on block. 236B: Launcher. You can 2A/2B after this for combos. You use this for your bread and butter. Generally safe on block, but can be punished by extremely fast and long range moves like C-Ciel 236C. 236C: Stab through. Deals high damage and can be canceled into 214C for a combo if you're too far for the rekka launcher to hit, netting you good damage and a side switch. Unsafe on block, and will side switch on block at point blank. 236[C]: Unblockable (First 2 active frames). Obviously won't combo from rekka extenders. Don't hold this half way. This isn't Warc's 5{B}. If this gets blocked half charged, you eat 5k damage. Use this in blockstrings sometimes. It's got decent speed. If they get wise and start not respecting, you should just stop doing this move instead of trying to half charge it to catch them. 214X/D: Low hit. Same as using 236A/B~214D. If you're using this on a falling enemy midscreen (why?), enter the 214 in reverse (236) because the rekka extender will cross under. EX Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 400*7 (2107) 288*7 (1595) 80% (O)/(M) (J) LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 1+6 62 25 -13 -100.0% Full 1-6 Ryougi dashes in and does 6 rekka slashes in rapid succession followed by a jump cancellable B Ender. Most notable as her best OTG pickup after rekka hard knockdown. Due to hitgrab properties, all combos are burst safe after it hits. Starts off with 6 frames of invulnerability, so it's your only "reversal" type move. It's a terrible reversal, though. After that 6 frames wears off, you get a frame of you just running forward before you start attacking. A decent meaty can easy beat it out. Also, no invincibility any time after that. People who are careless on punishing this might get caught by the American reset, 'cause the last slash has a decent hitbox.

A/B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 0 0 70% - - First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4 12 20 14 (Hit) 0.0% - Ryougi's first set of counters. If an enemy hitbox of the corresponding guard properties connects with the counter trigger box, she catches the enemy and throws them behind her if they are close enough, leaving them standing. You can combo after A and B versions with a 5B, netting you the highest damage of any of Ryougi's counters A: Counters high/mid-hitting attacks. B: Counters low/mid-hitting attacks. C Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 0 0 60% - - First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4 12 16 - 0.0% - Counters high/mid-hitting attacks, but throws them off their feet.

Avidya Moon 214A/B/C

A Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1000 959 (90% (M)), 85% (M) -EX- H First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 24 4 20 -6 9.0% - Ryougi's signature moonsault slashes. Whiffs crouchers, is air unblockable, and wall slams. Looks kinda terrible outside of combos and it really is. It's a gimmicky anti air at best. Can be EX cancelled, so you can do some gimmicks with it. Has an additional hitbox during start-up that only "hits" if the opponent is in hitstun on the ground already, allowing it to combo off of normals despite its slow speed. If you are too far from the corner you can't combo off of the wall slam reasonably. You can use it for high corner carry combos at the cost of damage, which pretty much relegates it to style combos. B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1200 1010 50% (O) -EX- H First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 26 3 24 -8 10.8% - Overhead and still air unblockable. Somewhat safe on block if spaced, can be 5A/2A punished. Can be EX cancelled. The fact that one whiffs crouchers and the other is an overhead might make it sound like a reasonable overhead, but both are unsafe on block on a standing opponent anyway if not spaced super well, and the jump forward generally hurts your chances of actually being in that range unless you do it raw. EX Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1400 1010 50% (M) N, SP, EX, J LH First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 1+13 4 22 -9 -100.0% Full 1 It hits practically everything in the air. In fact, you should be surprised when it whiffs and the enemy is in the air. Air unblockable. Can be air dash cancelled! You have free movement after this as if you just jumped off the ground. You can catch people with this if they aren't careful. This isn't invincible so it can still be beat out so don't just use it like an EX. Very useful for metered combo extensions and side switching.

A/B Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1000 707 60% (N), (SP), (EX), (J) - First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4 9 7 - 0.0% - Ryougi's second set of counters. If an enemy hitbox of the corresponding guard properties connects with the counter trigger box, she catches the enemy and throws them behind her into hard knockdown if they are close enough. Unlike the 623X series, 421A/B recovers quite quickly, though using them is still a risk, and unlike 623X and 421C, you cannot reliably combo off of these unless you are cornered AND spend meter for 236C. Just stick with 623A/B for the most part. A: Counters high/mid-hitting attacks. B: Counters low/mid-hitting attacks. C Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 0 0 45% - - First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 4 12 16 - 0.0% - Low version of 623C. Counters low/mid-hitting attacks, and throws them off their feet like 623C. Can combo with 2C after.

This knife will bounce back before planting on the ground if it reaches the edge of the screen. Knife is thrown horizontally and lands midscreen. Useful for blockstrings and combos. Positive on block, so you can use it as a one time pressure extender, just make sure to pick it back up.

Lands where the knife hits unless if it hits the wall, in which case it lands midscreen. You can't combo after it. Hits low though to catch people sleeping. [B] Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard 1000 707 100% - LA First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln 33 9 24 0 9.0% - Knife is thrown at a more downward angle. You STILL can't combo after it. Plus, it hits the ground even closer. And it whiffs point blank. Hits low. The sole use for this button I can think of is to hear the unique voice clip for it. Do anything else with your knife.

Hits low. ~22X (Pickup) Damage Red Damage Proration Cancel Guard - - - - - First Active Active Recovery Frame Adv Circuit Invuln - - 15 - - - Ryougi picks up her knife. A/B/C versions are identical.

It doesn't hit high, but you can still TK it for variation. It's not like people can tell. It's safer than TK j.236A (but not safe). You're mostly going to use this for air to air or to end combos.

If they are in a throwable state after she activates her eyes (they won't be), this is unblockable. This is so slow that no one will ever get caught by it unless they're respecting you so much that they're not even considering jumping. It's easily dodged by jumping.

Active on frame 1, it is an unblockable super that works as a grab/throw. You have to jump before the super flash, or you'll be caught by it. Can OTG and blow through projectiles. You can't dodge it, as dodge runs out of active frames before the appearance of the lines. Very strong reversal at the cost of BLOOD HEAT.
