A sphere-shaped flashkick done on ground level. Not super reliable as an anti air, but does hit both sides and is very active. | |||
*Used in most optimal corner combos due to its good launch and high damage. | |||

Kuon's meterless reversal, this version actually lifts him off the ground. | |||

Story
In the story of the Night, Kuon stands as the root of all evil.
He is a Re-Birth--said to be the strongest form of existence.
Kuon has lived for 500 years, wielding the inexhaustible power of the Night; now, he aims to bring an end to the world.
Long ago, Kuon and his sister Linne were charged with protecting the Power of Sealing.
However, the immense power eventually consumed Kuon, and he lost sight of himself.
Now he desires further power--which he can attain by seizing the other half of the Power of Sealing possessed by his sister.
Kuon's arch-nemesis fled beyond the Night. By taking Linne's power and breaking the wall of the Night, Kuon hopes to reach him.
The resulting destruction of the world is merely the means to that end.
“ |
My guests will start arriving here at the abyss shortly... to become the stakes with which I bore through the wall of the Night. |
” |
Gameplay
Kuon has a zoner's toolkit and a unique flight ability that allows him to control his opponents anywhere on the screen. He has long-range specials to keep away or fight at range, but also has tools to close the gap when Kuon's turn arrives.

Header | Tooltip |
Damage | Damage done by this attack. (x) denotes combined damage [x] denotes minimum damage |
Guard | The way this move must be blocked. High = Can block standing Low = Can block crouching Mid = Can block standing or crouching Air = Can block in the air Air Shield = Can block in the air while shielding Unblockable = Cannot be blocked |
Cancel | Actions this move can be canceled into on hit or block, unless specially noted. N = Normal Cancelable SE = Self Cancelable SP = Special Cancelable EX = EX/IW Cancelable CS = Chain Shift UNQ = Unique (See description) TH = Throw Cancelable J = Jump Cancelable (Hit cancelable only by default) (X) = Hit cancelable only -X- = Can additionally be cancelled during whiff |
Property | Special properties this move has. Click on the property to navigate to an explanation. |
Cost | The resources this move costs to use. GRD = GRD Blocks EXS = EXS Meter Vorpal = Vorpal GRD Break = Causes GRD Break |
Attribute | Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile |
Startup | Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash. |
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. |
Recovery | Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled. |
Overall | Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral. |
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 equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move. ±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better). |
Invul | The frames where this move cannot be hit by an attribute. Full = Fully invincible Strike = Strike invincible Throw = Throw invincible Head = Head invincible Foot = Foot invincible Dive = Dive invincible Projectile = Projectile invincible |

- Tall enough to anti air but not consistently.
- It still hits crouching opponents, so it mostly sees use in pressure and hitconforming.
- One frame slower to recover than 2A, so it's not your best option for rebeats.

- Moves Kuon forward enough to help stay close for combos or offense.
- One of Kuon's best starters, and a damaging extender mid-combo.
- Hits opponents OTG after moves like 3C or 236X~X
- -3 if followed with a whiffed 2A, which is Kuon's least minus rebeat option.

- Does not change grounded hitstun or blockstun, so it's not more adventageous on rebeat.
- Increases distance travelled compared to non-increased version.
- Increases damage but lowers proration, so its use as a combo tool is more specific.

- Can be used to poke, but will often be avoided by jumps or low crush moves.
- Highly active, but not enough to be plus as a meaty.
- Otherwise good as string filler, and useful in some juggles.

- Consistently leads to combos using 22A when anti-airing, but has more optimal routes available on counterhit.
- Launches the opponent high, which plays an important role in many routes.
- Its forward movement makes it better at hitconfirming, but can actually cause a whiff when anti airing opponents above Kuon.
- Is actually one of Kuon's best starters due to its followup options

j.A
Damage | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On-Block | Cancel | Attribute | Invuln |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
140 | High | 8 | Total 25 | -5 on Assault |
- Flight jA is Kuon's fastest overhead option at 25 frames if done perfectly. While it's not very hard to block, it's unthrowable, beats lows, and is +6~8 on block, serving as a very effecive pressure reset.
- As a light jump normal, it's weak to shield, but done from flight it has two hits, making it safer if only one hit is shielded, and it can also be mixed up with land > throw to dissuade shielding.
- Can also be used for more traditional purposes, as a short range air-to-air, or for reverse beat overhead pressure.

jC | 590 | High | 12 | [4 on landing] |
+7 on Assault |
- Primary combo filler with a healthy amount of hitstun. Great for converting from air-to-airs into grounded combos.
- Great normal for low Flight, where it's plus unless both hits are shielded, and even then, Kuon is safe. The fastest Flight jC possible is 29 frames.
- Its large hitbox makes it preferable as a jumpin, where it can be cancelled into Flight for diverse pressure options.

- One of the most common normals in juggles into 4C, and is really a combo tool most of the time.
- While not good on block, it's advancing, meaning it can be useful for pressure.

6B~6B

- Central combo tool, and often cancelled directly into 4C for a knockdown.
- Can actually go into slower moves like 6C and 214B for unique combo routes.
- Like 6B, advances (with the same blockstun), so it can be used in pressure strings to keep close to the opponent.
- Has a longer cancel window from 6B than other moves, so it works as a frametrap normal.

- The fullscreen launch can usually be followed up with 623B midscreen, giving Kuon his good corner carry.
- The untech time on the wallbounce is long enough to allow for a variety moves to connect in the corner, allowing for stronger routes.
- Despite its looks, this move reaches shockingly low, and is actually Kuon's most adventageous jump normal most of the time, and often + on shield.
- Only air normal that doesn't deal chip damage.

- Key component in getting knockdowns on airborne opponents.

- Very active, to the point that a spaced slide can be not only safe, but plus on block.
- Only cancelable to specials on hit, but if spaced well, it can link to other attacks.
- Cancels to EXS and Chain Shift on block, making it a good tool to get in close and reset pressure gaplessly.
- Part of Kuon's most common ender sequence, cancelled into 236A~X for a knockdown.
- One of the only moves in Kuon's aresenal that DOES NOT deal chip damage.

Damage | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On-Block | Cancel | Attribute | Invuln |

- Has very long recovery, making it very rare for the opponent to not retaliate upon seeing this.
- Due to Kuon's restricted midscreen setplay options, it's not possible to set up any efficient crossups using this.
- Useful mainly to get to the opponent's location when they're far away and knocked down, but it is very rarely better than running in.
- A message in-game shows that 66A+B has invul, however it seems to have very little of it, and not early in its duration.
- Can be chainshifted around 8 frames before the end of its recovery. The only usage for this is getting plus frames in specific knockdown situations.

- The first hit, for some reason, has an incredible amount of untech time, which makes it a central combo tool for juggles.
- Cancelling the first hit with Heavenly Law is Kuon's only relaible way to be plus upon flight activation due to its similarily high blockstun.
- Lacks the range of many other dash attacks, making it less useful as a neutral tool.
- The second hit is a lot weaker than the first, but can still be used in certain combos to go into 22X, or to confirm the move hitting from neutral.

- Since Kuon has several other overheads that are less obvious and at least plus while still comboing, this one is rarely used for mixups.
- Special cancelable after landing, even on block.
- Knocks the opponent down, allowing for links or cancels afterwards. This also makes it your best knockdown for 214X setplay.
- Kuon is lifted off the ground for the move, beating lows and throws, but granted, he has safer options for that purpose.

- Cancelled from 236A, this is Kuon's most common meterless combo ender. Good knockdown and damage, but no setplay without meter.
- From 236B, this can make approaching Kuon from long distances harder, due to it countering preemptive jump into assault at some distances, potentially with a combo.
- Safe pressure on block for both versions, serving as both a gapless pressure ender and a frametrap.
- Aerial version is used to confirm j236X into EXS, but is way more unsafe on block than the grounded version. Make sure you have meter or vorpal to cancel it.

- Not incredibly useful for mixups, but it puts Kuon next to the opponent for continued pressure
- Quite a good tool for sideswitch combos, and it doesn't sacrifice a lot of damage to use it compared to normal routes

623B | 29 | - | -5 |
- VERY important midscreen combo tool with amazing corner carry
- Can again cross up, but this is less useful with 623B
- Cancels into aerial specials on hit or block

623C | 23 | - | -18 |
- This move is VERY slow for a reversal, outdone at close range by [2]8X.
- Tracks the opponent's horizontal position on the entire stage, so it's useful for anti zoning and whiff punishing.
- Weirdly difficult to combo into, and can't consistently be followed up with Infinite Worth, so despite its damage, it's rarely used in combos.

j623A | 22 | - | -11 |
- Not special or FF cancelable, even on hit.
- Has significantly worse frame data than 3C, making meter a necessity for it to be safe.
- Only gives a meterless combo on a precisely spaced counterhit.
- Kuon can actually be hit at ground level during the teleport animation, making highly active moves very good at beating j623A.

j623B | 39 | - | -10 |
- Between this and j623A, there is something of a mixup, but far from unreactable.
- Unlike j623A, this can be special-and-flight cancelled on block, making it significantly safer.
- The knockdown results in damaging, meterless combos with good corner carry without meter.
- Can be used in combos, but is more often seen as a misinput of land->623B

j623C | 23 | - | -18 |
- Has a slightly longer startup at 26 frames, making it more situational
- Still invincible, letting you juke long range anti-air options from characters like Merkava.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
[2]8A | 7 | - | -14 | 1~X Head (Check Dive) |
- Used in most optimal corner combos due to its good launch and high damage.
- Cancelable into EXS or CS on block, so it can be used as abare, but be careful as it has no strike invul, and is only active on frame 8.
Version | Damage | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On-Block | Cancel | Attribute | Invuln |

[2]8B | 12 | - | -29 |
- Relatively slow at 13 frames, but still useful as a defensive tool.
- Sends the opponent fullscreen, but doesn't knock down, removing its usages in combos.
- Bigger, than [2]8A, and due to its invul, it's generally better in scrambles, but way more unsafe.
- It hits both sides (while also automatically sidecorrecting due to its input), and is very active, so it's best used as a reversal against aerial moves and left/right mixups.

[2]8C | 10 | - | -38 |
- Carries all of [2]8B's good qualities, but is more active, more damaging, and faster.
- Still unsafe, but harder to bait than [2]8B
- Is technically Kuon's highest damage EXS move, but very restricting to use in combos.

- Quite literally COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN. While it's mostly used as a combo ender, it must be noted that this move can technically whiff punish the opponent no matter where they are if they are minus enough.

- Must have less than 30% health (orange health) to use.
- After the cinematic, characters will be moved to the middle of the stage, regardless of where they were positioned before.
- Due to the cost, it is usually not recommended to use this move unless it will kill the opponent.
