Introduction

Assassin is a defensive character, functioning like Guilty Gear's Baiken with guard cancel parries (646C) as his central mechanic. Assassin's biggest strength is the range of his normals which are mostly fast and keep people at a healthy midrange. Assassin has a high execution barrier to getting respectable damage.

Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 2100 or 900 None or All - 10 + 0 or 10 + 6 98 - -31 Assassin performs his Tsubame Gaeshi: 3 simultaneous slices from different angles. If the opponent is within a short range and can be grabbed, they will be and will suffer 2100 damage. If they cannot be grabbed, Assassin will perform 3 strikes that each deal 900 damage. If his opponent is in hitstun, which followup happens depends only on distance, not whether they can be grabbed. This costs 100 meter.

236236C (Grail Super)

Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 4000 All - 10 + 4 91 - -55 Assassin dashes at the opponent, performs one a fast slash to knock them off balance, and finishes them off with numerous quick slashes from all directions. The dash is rather short, need to be close to guarantee the hit. This attack always does 4000 damage regardless of scaling. It can only be performed after filling the holy grail and activating with 300 meter. This reduces your meter to 0.

Combos (WIP)

• 5B and 2B can be used interchangeably. note that 2B hits low, faster, but has shorter reach. You might have to skip it if you're too far from the opponent

• [6469A > 42147C] is considered an essential loop to master
