Under Night In-Birth/UNIST/Gordeau

Gordeau

This character page is for the latest version of the game, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] (UNIST). To see Gordeau's character page for the previous version, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late (UNIEL), click here.

Introduction

He reaps. He slashes his enemies to satisfy, but it is not enough -- he wishes to reunite
with an old friend. Offering a souveneir for an old acquaintance. The land is fast, expanding
as far as the eye can see. The sky, without boundaries, no ceiling. He raises his sickle,
and prepares for the night.

Story

Gordeau is one of the founding members of Amnesia, alongside Chaos and Hilda. During a skirmish with the Bankikai, his friend Roger was turned into a void, and was subsequently put down by Wagner. This caused him to leave Amnesia in order to hunt down Wagner as atonement for encouraging him to go out that night (though he still works for them as a hired mercenary).

During his non-Night activities, he works as a bartender. Currently freeloading at Chaos's house.

Unique Trait/Health

Health: 10,800

Character Trait: Gordeau's "assimilation" grabs all steal GRD from the opponent

Vorpal Trait: In Vorpal, Gordeau's force function gains head invuln, increased reach, and -3f startup and recovery.

Gameplay

Gordeau boasts some of the best footsies tool among the cast, with a mixture of kicks and punches that make him stressful to deal with up close, along with his scythe to poke out opponents at range. Along with some great mix-up potential, including several standing overheads and command grabs, and three great reversals, he's quite threatening when he gets within his effective range. In addition, most of his standard combos will end with Assimilation, which steals one block of GRD from his opponent, which gives him an easy way to maintain a lead.

That said, he can have problems approaching the opponent from afar, as he has no projectile or other gimmick to help him, meaning he has to use standard methods of approach like dash-blocking to close distance and get his game-plan started. But that isn't the worst problem to have. Enjoy your high-tier.

Startup includes the first active frame.

Normal Moves

5A File:Gord5A.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 180 6 2 12 -1 Sp,EX,CS L - Gordeau's fastest normal and works like many standing light kicks in other fighters. Near worthless in neutral, but works well as a pressure starter and a reverse beat from 5C.

2A File:Gord2A.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 160 7 2 13 -3 Se,Sp,EX,CS HL - Crouches and does a jab. Longer reach than 5A and can be rapid-fired. Standard pressure tool.

5B File:Gord5B.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 510 9 4 17 0 Sp,EX,CS HL - Steps forward and punches the opponent's stomach area. Short reach.

2B File:Gord2B.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 490 8 3 17 -4 Sp,EX,CS L - Forward low kick with a decent reach. Standard crouching medium kick normal. Somewhat takes second fiddle as a low mix up next to 3C. Can OTG off of a Mortal Slide for combos.

5C File:Gord5C.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 690 16 6 38 -26 Sp,EX,CS HLA - Steps forward to slam his scythe down. A safe poke with long reach, but is air-blockable.

5[C] File:Gord5CIC.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 950 30 6 37 -25 Sp,EX,CS H - Becomes an overhead and is no longer air-blockable if fully charged. More reliable than the regular version, but midscreen often requires B Mortal Slide to be used to follow-up, using up two ground bounces, so good combo execution is a must.

2C File:Gord2C.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 350,420 8 3(5)6 20 -10 Sp,EX,CS HL - Swings his scythe right above him in an outward arc. Useful anti-aerial and works to get the opponent airborne during a combo. Air normal invincible frames 14~18

j.A File:GordjA.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 140 8 4 X+2 Varies Sp,EX,CS H/AS - Punches downwards. Standard air-to-ground light punch attack.

j.B File:GordjB.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 250,350 8 2(8)6 X+3 Varies Sp,EX,CS H/AS - Two horizontally long forward kicks. Decent air-to-air and air-combo filler.

j.C File:GordjC.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 610 13 4 X+4 Varies Sp,EX,CS H/AS - An aerial ax kick laced with darkness. Common Assault starter.

j.[C] File:GordjCIC.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 750 21 5 X+4 Varies Sp,EX,CS H/AS - Same as j.C, fully charged version slams the opponent to the ground making it possible to continue the combo.

Command Normals

6B File:Gord6B.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 720 27 5 16 -3 Sp,EX,CS H - Steps forward and punches down. Hits overhead. Can be cancelled to specials on hit.

4B File:Gord4B.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 520 10 2 16 -2 Sp,EX,CS HL - Standing kick with the same animation as 66B. Causes sit-down on counterhit.

3C File:Gord3C.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 610 11 10 13 +4 to -5 (Sp),(EX),(CS) L - Sliding kick with long reach. Move stays active for a long period of time and sweeps on hit. Cannnot be cancelled on block. Can be charged for longer range, but more disadvantageous on block.

Dash Normals

66B File:Gord4B.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 660 10 2 12 -2 Sp,EX,CS HL - Yakuza kick. Safe move even if guarded.

Universal Mechanics

Move has a long hitbox, but it can be dodged by crouching right in front of Gordeau. Crumples on hit, making it easy to follow-up. Air normal invincible frames 10~26 During Vorpal air normal invincible frames 8~23

Throw A+D File:GordAD.png

Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 1390 5 1 22 Normal: +19 (combo stun) [2]: +6 (combo stun) - UNB - Grabs the opponent in a one-handed hold, chokes them with a single grasp, and then throws them towards the edge of screen with an underhanded throw.

Invincible from start-up until the first active frame. You can delay the start-up until the 69th frame, but there's no real incentive to do so outside of thwarting meaty attacks.

Special Moves

Mortal Slide 「モータルスライド」 236X File:Gord236A.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox A 1434 16 4(4)6 15 -3 Sp,EX,CS HL - Absolutely amazing special. Its long reach and safe frame advantage gives Gordeau a great poking option, and it can be used to start, extend, and end combos. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox B 1434 22 4(4)6 17 -5 Sp,EX,CS HL - Slower startup and longer reach than A version. Really only used off of combo starters like 5[C] or Dash C that cause the opponent to be too far away for A version to hit. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox EX 2039 1+13 2(4)3 27 +5 (CS) HL - EX version causes Gordeau to drag the opponent in, launch them up, and Mortal Glide them away. Decent combo ender, but its most common use is during pressure with it dragging the opponent to Gordeau and leaving him at an incredible frame advantage. Even if shielded, it still leaves him at +1. Throw invincible frames 1~3

Shaded Harvest 「シェイドハーベスト」 236X>6X File:Gord236AA.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 799 9 2 27 -6 Sp,EX,CS HL - Follow-up for the ground version. The button used has no effect on the move's properties. Swings the scythe back dragging the opponent right before Gordeau. Can be comboed with normals on hit.

Assimilation 「アシミレイション」 236X>6X>6X File:Gord236AAA.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox 1600 16 4 30 +14 (combo stun) (CS) UNB - Shade Harvest's follow-up. Same move as his special Assimilation. Grabs the opponent, absorbs 1 GRD block and forces them down. Does a little more damage than the normal one.

Mortal Glide j.236X File:Gordj236X.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox A 1434 7 2(10)8 X+9 -10 EX,CS HL - Does a little twirl with his scythe in the air. Air unblockable nature and wide reach means that this move will win most air-to-air exchanges. Doesn't show up that much in combos. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox B 1434 7 2(10)8 X+9 -19 EX,CS HL - Identical to the A version, but this causes Gordeau to fly backwards. Used more for defense. Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox EX 2039 1+13 9 X+9 +8 (CS) HL - This is a midair reversal. And that's beautiful. Strike and projectile invincible frames 1~13 Throw invincible frames 1~3

Grim Reaper 「グリムリーパー」 623X File:Gord623A.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox A 1345 15 6(9)3 19 -6 EX,CS HL - Moves forward while doing a really big spinning swing with his scythe. Second swing causes wall bounce. Works as an excellent anti-aerial since the move is aerial unblockable. Slow startup but fast recovery. 623A is whiff cancellable, allowing you to follow-up with 236C to make it safe provided you have meter. Air normal invincible frames 15~16 Air special invincible frames 13~16 Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox B 1415 9 6(9)3 28 -15 EX,CS HL - Starts up faster then A version but with longer recovery. 623B is whiff cancellable, allowing you to follow-up with 236C to make it safe provided you have meter. Air normal invincible frames 9~10 Air special invincible frames 7~10 Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox EX 2074 1+6 6(9)3(10)6(9)4 33 -18 (CS) HL - EX version has some invincibility. In the EX version Gordeau does four swings instead of two. Completely invincible frames 1~8

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox A 1400 11 2 25 +14 (combo stun) (CS) UNB - Command grab where Gordeau uses his free hand to dig into the opponent and rips out a part of their soul, which absorbs 1/2 GRD block. Move can't be followed without Chain Shift and does lower damage than Gordeau's normal grab, but has longer reach than his normal grab. Throw invincible frames 1~12 Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Cancels Guard/Shield Hitbox B 1500 8 5 24 +16 (combo stun) (CS),(EX) UNB - An anti-aerial version of Assimilation. Opponent can recover sooner then A or EX version.
