Introduction

Fubuki is a solid all-rounder who has no problem fighting at any distance. Her opportunistic playstyle rewards players who can take advantage of her unique SSR passive.

Unique Passive: Fubuki's special moves have a small chance to be blessed with SSR luck! SSR moves have properties that make them more powerful than their standard counterparts. Fubuki's "Burger Fox" special grants Fubuki guaranteed SSR luck on her next two special moves. If luck isn't on her side, don't fret, the 10th use of the same special move will be a guaranteed SSR as well! [1]

Playstyle

Fubuki Shirakami is a well-rounded "shoto" character that has solid tools for every situation with a sprinkle of RNG.

Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Flexibility: Equipped with a balanced set of normals, a variety of reliable anti-airs, a fast forward-moving projectile invuln spin attack, solid projectiles, multiple metered reversals, and the ability to convert resources into safe pressure extensions, Fubuki has at least some way to contest the opponent at every range and is ready for any situation. Easy Hit Confirms: Fubuki's grounded and air normals have either abnormally long hitstun values or generally lengthy untech times. Combined with the quick startup of her specials, it is very difficult to fumble combo conversions no matter how awkward the initial hits may be. Gacha: Fubuki's random SSR-enhanced special moves lead to more damaging combos and have additional neutral or defensive utility without requiring meter to be spent outside of 22S. Cute Fox Girls

Generalists: While Fubuki can perform comfortably in every situation, as a result of other characters being more specialized, very few of her tools are considered the best in their class individually. Meter Combination Prerequisites: Fubuki generally has to spend both types of meter at the same time in order to squeeze more damage out of longer-ranged confirms if she doesn't get lucky with SSRs. Most other characters get to choose between spending Star Meter or Superchat Meter respectively for their extensions, and some may not even need to spend anything. Gacha: Optimal play requires the player to be able to react to sudden SSRs happening and be ready to adjust their neutral, pressure, combos, knockdowns, and oki timings on the fly. Also, properly keeping track of and implementing Fubuki's unique passive's "pity" system tied to number of specials used in a row may be a bit challenging.

Recommended Collabs

Note: As this section of the page was written shortly after the game was released, its only purpose is to help guide new players towards assists that are generally considered useful for the character, and should be revised by an experienced player as the game develops more. Don't be afraid to pick and try something else!

• Miko - Pressure and Patrol + Emergency Lockdown

• Her 5+Col patrols around you in neutral and persists even when you are getting hit, so on top of it being decent for extending your own pressure, it can also be used defensively to make it harder for the opponent to reliably apply their pressure or finish combos.
• Miko's 6+Col lava bucket keeps the opponent stuck in blockstun for an eternity. This assist allows Fubuki to safely continue pressure and enforce mixups after a knockdown or after making the opponent block normally punishable moves.

• Kiara - Projectile Reflector + Charging Star Jumpscare

• Kiara greatly helps Fubuki during neutral against projectile zoners, thanks to her 5+Col reflector assist.
• Fubuki can also use Kiara's 6+Col in neutral, on defense, to extend combos for massive damage, or even to confirm universal or instant overheads.

• Subaru - Versatile Call for Backup + Full Screen Sausage

• Subaru's 5+Col can be used in a variety of helpful ways to enforce will in neutral, get opponents off of you on defense, extend pressure or combos, and even set up or confirm mixups.
• While the startup of Subaru's 6+Col is fairly slow and not too useful for extending combos, it can make the opponent more inclined to jump thanks to its high blockstun which can create openings in neutral to take space or in pressure to snipe a jumpout with any of Fubuki's great anti-airs.

Has high blockstun compared to her other normals, but less than 5M. Has fairly high base damage for its speed, so it is both a great starter and an amazing combo tool. Can take advantage of the move's low recovery to gatling into a whiff and pull in 5M's hurtbox.

Head invuln starts up on frame 5, and it has an amazing hitbox that even covers a bit of the space directly above and behind her. Simple way to launch the opponent in order to start a juggle combo. Will vacuum the opponent in on anti-air or during a juggle, so even awkward angle hits are easy to confirm and keep stable.

You may set up for the instant overhead by cancelling into 22S after a knockdown, or you can try testing your luck. Be careful, though, as even a successful instant overhead cancelled into regular j.214X or j.S will be -7 on hit.

Its active frames start below her before reaching in front and then above her. The hitbox above her in the late active frames is enormous and hard to contest. A great normal to just throw out safely in neutral, especially while being chased by the opponent from the ground or in the air.

Leads to an extremely advantageous ground bounce on air hit during the first few active frames that is easy to convert into big damage. This attribute combined with the fact that it is active until landing makes it a very scary move to contest. This move shines its brightest in matchups against characters who do not have a fast or reliable anti-air.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 90 Mid 20 4 22 -12 -9 (8~19) Counter Slow command normal with a guardpoint catch midway through startup when she flashes blue which makes it a decent frame trap. Has high base damage and gatlings into 2H and 3H, so it is extremely important in combos and can be used in pressure. Great for calling out an opponent's Superchat Reversal attempts. Once the counter activates, the opponent will be stuck in place and 4H's animation will play again from the start, this time with no counter catch frames. The opponent will still be able to cancel out of the move that may have been caught by the counter and hit Fubuki out of the counter catch animation. Loses to multi-hitting moves like her own 5H as the catch animation will not even get to play before getting stuffed.

Has a massive hitbox around Fubuki's upper body that covers more vertical space than any of her other air normals of similar speed in their early active frames. Its multi-hitting attribute makes it quite menacing when used as a meaty jump-in for oki as timings can be varied slightly to change the number of overheads that will occur before Fubuki lands.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 60 High 23 3 19 -3 +2 (6~36) Grab Uniquely has an animation that does not leave the ground until frame 11 which makes it harder to react to Universal overhead with invuln against grabs after startup. Important for her more advanced meter-generation corner routes as it can be juggled into and out of during combos. As a result of the high blockstun of Fubuki's 5M, this move can be used as a frame trap when cancelled into at close range. If the opponent mashes, Fubuki will be +7 and be able to convert the hit into a combo using 5M even midscreen.

Does not cause Fubuki to be pushed back on block when the opponent's back is to the corner, it instead inherits the pushback from the normal it was cancelled out of. Minus on block at close range, but can be made unpunishable or even plus when done at slightly further distances. Great way to end a pressure string. As a result of the projectile's slower travel speed, it can become fairly plus at the right distance, as shown in the diagram below. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability M 65 Mid 15 Until Offscreen 31 -8~ +1~ None SSR - ~10% Grants 2 superchats on use Disappears if Fubuki is hit Has a projectile durability of 1x1 Fubuki's faster projectile. Does not cause Fubuki to be pushed back on block when the opponent's back is to the corner, it instead inherits the pushback from the normal it was cancelled out of. Unsafe on block at close range, but can be made unpunishable or even plus when done at slightly further distances. Great way to end a pressure string. As a result of the projectile's fast travel speed, its frame data does not change as much from a distance, as shown in the diagram below. In exchange, it can be used to frame trap the opponent even when cancelled into at the tip of normals. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability SSR (L) 100 Mid 17 Until Offscreen 29 -6~ -3~ None Grants 2 superchats on use Disappears if Fubuki is hit Has a projectile durability of 2x1 Enhanced projectile via luck or 22S that has higher base damage and higher projectile durability despite hitting once. Effectively identical to the regular L version of her projectile. As a result of its higher projectile durability, it will bust through regular projectiles and completely cancel out stronger projectiles that have a projectile durability of 2 (such as her or Korone's 236H).

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability H 60x2 Mid 13 Until Offscreen 27 +1~ - None Costs 1 Star Meter and grants 5 superchats on use Does not disappear if Fubuki is hit Has a projectile durability of 1x2 "Kon-cob" Faster startup projectile with 2 hits that leads to a soft knockdown on hit. Useful for extending pressure or even forcing a mixup if done from ranges where its frame advantage on block becomes absurdly plus. Arguably the best way to use a super chat cancel on block if you want to further your offense if the opponent doesn't instant block. Take note that 214L and 214M both have 12 frames of blockstun which means that 236H being 13f startup creates a minimum 1f gap between an immediate super chat cancel 236H out of a blocked 214X. Amazing as a frame trap, but the gap being guaranteed means that if the opponent has meter stocked, they can exploit it by doing a reversal.

Use its projectile invuln to slip past projectiles in neutral. Second active hitbox is shorter than the first but reaches further horizontally. 4S uses this version. The 2nd hit of the tatsu has a sizeable amount of additional pushback on block which can make punishing this move on block slightly harder for the opponent if you are at a range where the first hit whiffs, especially considering it is only -9. If they expect to be blocking the first hit they may not be ready to press the proper button or dash in order to score a punish. Use with caution, but know that you may be able to get away for free without needing to SCC to be safe depending on relative distance and the matchup (if the opponent has a fast, long-reaching normal/special).

Light, Medium, and Heavy versions are all considered the same special and as a result they cannot be SCC'd into each other. Great for ending air combos with a bit of extra corner carry. As a result of how quickly it moves forward during its animation and how far the second hit reaches, it can be used at much further ranges than her grounded tatsu to hit the opponent and score a knockdown. It has almost zero pushback on block, so make sure you are on-point with timing a perfect 8S or else you will eat a heavy punish.
