Ougon Musou Kyoku/Shannon

Shannon

Background

One of the two servants present at Rokkenjima at the time of the serial killings, the other being her "younger brother" Kanon. Due to her constant breaking of mirrors she has 1000 years of bad luck.

Introduction

Shannon is a character that is reasonably good at zoning, with barriers and seagulls covering a lot of space in addition to having good anti-airs. Shannon's greatest strength comes from her oki pressure, especially in the corner. Shannon's throw causes a particularly long knockdown, and is easy to setup in the middle of her blockstrings. However, Shannon suffers from her poor movement options, as well as limited damage at midscreen.

Health = 1550.

Ability

Auto-Guard - You will automatically guard for a long period of time. This allows you to autoblock in the middle of dashes.

  Still need to test properties, but different hits seem to have different amounts of launch?
  Seems to also differ if the opponent is airborn, grounded, or already knocked-down.
 Note C: Hits only once; each hit has different damage (210, 180, 180, 150, 150) and different properties.
  Still need to test properties, but different hits seem to have different amounts of launch.
