[[File:AoS2Hime.png|frame|right]]


Let's dance in the beautiful sky.
==Introduction==
The guardian of the Shifu colony ship, whose inhabitants treated her as a godly creature. After Suguri stops Shifu from destroying the planet, Hime spends the rest of her life having fun.


== Normal Moves ==
==Overview==
Hime is the first of AoS2's 3 boss characters. She is very punish heavy and generally performs well at any range.


=== WA ===
* Strengths:
** High speed.
** Versatile kit.
** Good hypers.
** Decent meter gain.
** Many different combo variations.
** Good keepaway game.


'''Gentle Breeze'''
* Weaknesses:
** Unintuitive playstyle.
** Somewhat long attacks.
** Lack of ballistic clearing options.


* Press WA [Beam/Ballistic]
'''Difficulty: Hard'''
** Damage: 120x2
** Two swords shoot towards your opponent. Can be fired in fairly quick succession. Only the red one comes out when low on Energy.


'''Beauty of Needles'''
Hime can be played both from close or long range, what allows her to perform quite well at any matchup, but her weaknesses can cause some characters to give her a little bit of trouble.


* Hold WA [Beam/Ballistic]
Her kit is very versatile but has a lot to learn. It requires the player to understand what is going on not to get heavily punished for long attacks or know when is the best moment to go for some attack. In contrast, Hime can heavily punish the opponent's mistakes having attacks that raise heat and a lot of different combo variations.
** Damage: 75xn (while circling), 120xn (when flying out)
** A circle of Hime's swords surround her and fly out.


'''Violent Air'''
Hime's main gimmick is that none of her attacks are dashable. The damage of all her attacks is scaled with heat but blue swords are the only exception.


* Dash + WA [Beam/Ballistic]
==Normal Moves==
** Damage: 120x6
** Like Gentle Breeze, but with 4 more hits. They also fly out at the direction of your opponent but are less accurate then Gentle Breeze.


=== WB ===

}}


=== Hyper C: Eternal Incandescence ===
==Gameplan==
Hime usually plays best adjusted to the matchup but can perform quite well both at offense and defense.


* Execution: SP + Hyper
===Farming meter===
** Damage: 20xn
Hime's best meter gain tools are all swords attacks (tap wA, hold wA, dash wA, tap wB). SPwB is a great tool as well but is more dangerous to spam.
** The blades will hit for about 17~23 times outside of the halo, and 24~34 times inside of it. You can also move around while this is firing, like her Amber hyper.


=== Hyper D: Entrapment ===
Chains can give a lot of meter as a part of some combo, but are usually very hard to land without confirms. Hold wB can be used too but only at middle or long range due to its long startup and recovery.


* Execution: Dash + Hyper
The best way to safely farm meter is to stay away from the opponent or zone them with hold wA and tap wB using one or both.
** Damage: 50x6 (can hit 7 times when very close)
** Quickly raises your opponent's heat to 203% when they're hit by it. The heat adding effect persists through shields and super invulnerability, though the damage does not. This allows you to force the opponent's heat to a high level even if they shield or whiff a super. Extremely useful for getting your opponent over-heated so you can pile on the damage.
** Actual damage is variable since the opponent's heat is rising while being hit with the attack.


=== Accel Hyper: God Knows ===
Additionally, Hime's high speed can let her graze most of projectiles gaining a lot of meter.


* Execution: SP + WB + Hyper
===Playing offensively===
** Damage: 170x9
For an aggressive approach Hime should play with hold wA to cut escape routes and SPwB at close range. A good alternative is dash wA, which can act as a good confirm into a chain combo or wallbangs. Any of this methods will provide aggressive Hime with a good portion of meter.
** Hime sprouts wings. This has large horizontal range, but short vertical range. If the opponent is close, it pushes them away at end regardless if the attack hits or not. Hits twice as many times if Hime's opponent is lined up with her vertically.


== Strategies ==
Meter can potentially boost Hime's damage output. For example, SP. hyper can act as good combo starter provided that the opponent has no meter, or can finish off a low HP opponent. B. hyper can be a variation of chain combo, and D. hyper can raise the opponent's heat.


vs Suguri:
===Playing defensively===
Defensive Hime can still pressure the opponent well. She usually wants to setup a hold wA circle to stay safe and poke the opponent with hold wB more often. To do so, Hime can predict the opponent moves or make them move in a specific pattern with dwA or hold wA.


vs Saki:
Keepaway game is built around hold wA and tap wB to zone the opponent. Melees can be punished with SPwA or SPwB. Also, tap wA is recommended because it can help to apply some pressure staying mobile. Since Hime has a decent meter gain, she can predict halfshield approaches and halfshield in response and/or just run away.


Vs Iru:
Having some meter allows Hime to confirm into Neutral Hypers with hold wB or dash wA. If the opponent has no meter, they can be punished with SP. Hyper into any combo. Also, melee whiffs can be counterattacked with D. hyper timed right.


Vs Nanako:
==Combos==


Vs Kae:
===Meterless===
* dwA > hold wB
: Long range flowchart move based on prediction of where the opponent moves.


Vs Kyoko:
* SPwA > SPwA > SPwB
: Simple chain combo. The opponent can goldshield and counterattack when follow up chains come out.


Vs Hime:
* SPwA > SPwB
: A variation of simple combo. It's likely to drain meter because the opponent may expect normal chain combo but will be pushed away instead.


Vs Sora:
* wA/dwA > any chain combo
: If swords hit, Hime can catch the opponent with chains.


Vs Alte:
* SPwA > SPwA > hold wB
: Disadvantageous (6 frames) combo that is usually pulled off by mistake by new players.


Vs Tsih:
* SPwA > SPwA > tap wB > Dash cancel > dwA > any chain combo
: Advanced chain combo, though it is not a true combo because tap wB is not reliable (depends on RNG and hits quite slow). It's more safe to use from closest range, near the wall, or against the opponent with no meter.


Vs Mira:
* SPwA > SPwA > tap wB > Dash cancel > SPwB
: Another variation of advanced combo with the same issue. This one can be used if there's not enough energy for another version.


Vs Sham:
* SPwB > dash cancel > SPwB > dash cancel > ...
: Commonly known as Wallbangs, these are just SPwB staggers near the wall. This is not a true combo but should work well against slow characters. It requires to predict the opponent moves.


Vs Nath:
* SPwA > SPwA > Wallbangs
: Should be used near the wall.


Vs Star Breaker:
===Meter===


Vs Sumika:
* hold wB > N. Hyper
: Simple Neutral hyper confirm.
 
* SPwA > SPwA > hold wB > N. Hyper
: A better and more safe version of the combo described in previous section.
 
* SPwB > N. Hyper
: Another confirm into Neutral hyper which should be used after the opponent is pushed away. Optionally, this can start with chains confirm.
 
* SPwA > SPwA > B. Hyper > any chain combo
: Another variation of chain combo that can deal massive damage. Follow up chains should be delayed to safely pull off the second chain combo with no need to dash cancel.
 
* SPwA > SPwA > D. Hyper > Dash cancel > any chain combo
: Follow up chains and D. Hyper should both be delayed to start a chain combo against hot opponent, which means tons of damage. If timed wrong, the chain won't come out after the hyper.
 
* SP. Hyper > B. Hyper > any chain combo
: Requires 2 meter bars but can deal massive damage to the opponent with no meter to goldshield.
 
* D. Hyper > B. Hyper > any chain combo
: Same as previous combo but raises heat in advance. Optionally, delayed chains can be added in the beginning.

AoS2Hime.png

Introduction

The guardian of the Shifu colony ship, whose inhabitants treated her as a godly creature. After Suguri stops Shifu from destroying the planet, Hime spends the rest of her life having fun.

Overview

Hime is the first of AoS2's 3 boss characters. She is very punish heavy and generally performs well at any range.

  • Strengths:
    • High speed.
    • Versatile kit.
    • Good hypers.
    • Decent meter gain.
    • Many different combo variations.
    • Good keepaway game.
  • Weaknesses:
    • Unintuitive playstyle.
    • Somewhat long attacks.
    • Lack of ballistic clearing options.

Difficulty: Hard

Hime can be played both from close or long range, what allows her to perform quite well at any matchup, but her weaknesses can cause some characters to give her a little bit of trouble.

Her kit is very versatile but has a lot to learn. It requires the player to understand what is going on not to get heavily punished for long attacks or know when is the best moment to go for some attack. In contrast, Hime can heavily punish the opponent's mistakes having attacks that raise heat and a lot of different combo variations.

Hime's main gimmick is that none of her attacks are dashable. The damage of all her attacks is scaled with heat but blue swords are the only exception.

Summons 4 crystals in front of Hime. All crystals are capable of clearing ballistics, although it is quite risky. Note that crystals cover a small area behind Hime. The last crystal always pushes the opponent away. This attack is slightly affected by momentum so not all crystals can hit (first three will spawn in front of Hime while the last one will try to spawn closer to the opponent). +2 frame advantage.

Gameplan

Hime usually plays best adjusted to the matchup but can perform quite well both at offense and defense.

Farming meter

Hime's best meter gain tools are all swords attacks (tap wA, hold wA, dash wA, tap wB). SPwB is a great tool as well but is more dangerous to spam.

Chains can give a lot of meter as a part of some combo, but are usually very hard to land without confirms. Hold wB can be used too but only at middle or long range due to its long startup and recovery.

The best way to safely farm meter is to stay away from the opponent or zone them with hold wA and tap wB using one or both.

Additionally, Hime's high speed can let her graze most of projectiles gaining a lot of meter.

Playing offensively

For an aggressive approach Hime should play with hold wA to cut escape routes and SPwB at close range. A good alternative is dash wA, which can act as a good confirm into a chain combo or wallbangs. Any of this methods will provide aggressive Hime with a good portion of meter.

Meter can potentially boost Hime's damage output. For example, SP. hyper can act as good combo starter provided that the opponent has no meter, or can finish off a low HP opponent. B. hyper can be a variation of chain combo, and D. hyper can raise the opponent's heat.

Playing defensively

Defensive Hime can still pressure the opponent well. She usually wants to setup a hold wA circle to stay safe and poke the opponent with hold wB more often. To do so, Hime can predict the opponent moves or make them move in a specific pattern with dwA or hold wA.

Keepaway game is built around hold wA and tap wB to zone the opponent. Melees can be punished with SPwA or SPwB. Also, tap wA is recommended because it can help to apply some pressure staying mobile. Since Hime has a decent meter gain, she can predict halfshield approaches and halfshield in response and/or just run away.

Having some meter allows Hime to confirm into Neutral Hypers with hold wB or dash wA. If the opponent has no meter, they can be punished with SP. Hyper into any combo. Also, melee whiffs can be counterattacked with D. hyper timed right.

Combos

Meterless

  • dwA > hold wB
Long range flowchart move based on prediction of where the opponent moves.
  • SPwA > SPwA > SPwB
Simple chain combo. The opponent can goldshield and counterattack when follow up chains come out.
  • SPwA > SPwB
A variation of simple combo. It's likely to drain meter because the opponent may expect normal chain combo but will be pushed away instead.
  • wA/dwA > any chain combo
If swords hit, Hime can catch the opponent with chains.
  • SPwA > SPwA > hold wB
Disadvantageous (6 frames) combo that is usually pulled off by mistake by new players.
  • SPwA > SPwA > tap wB > Dash cancel > dwA > any chain combo
Advanced chain combo, though it is not a true combo because tap wB is not reliable (depends on RNG and hits quite slow). It's more safe to use from closest range, near the wall, or against the opponent with no meter.
  • SPwA > SPwA > tap wB > Dash cancel > SPwB
Another variation of advanced combo with the same issue. This one can be used if there's not enough energy for another version.
  • SPwB > dash cancel > SPwB > dash cancel > ...
Commonly known as Wallbangs, these are just SPwB staggers near the wall. This is not a true combo but should work well against slow characters. It requires to predict the opponent moves.
  • SPwA > SPwA > Wallbangs
Should be used near the wall.

Meter

  • hold wB > N. Hyper
Simple Neutral hyper confirm.
  • SPwA > SPwA > hold wB > N. Hyper
A better and more safe version of the combo described in previous section.
  • SPwB > N. Hyper
Another confirm into Neutral hyper which should be used after the opponent is pushed away. Optionally, this can start with chains confirm.
  • SPwA > SPwA > B. Hyper > any chain combo
Another variation of chain combo that can deal massive damage. Follow up chains should be delayed to safely pull off the second chain combo with no need to dash cancel.
  • SPwA > SPwA > D. Hyper > Dash cancel > any chain combo
Follow up chains and D. Hyper should both be delayed to start a chain combo against hot opponent, which means tons of damage. If timed wrong, the chain won't come out after the hyper.
  • SP. Hyper > B. Hyper > any chain combo
Requires 2 meter bars but can deal massive damage to the opponent with no meter to goldshield.
  • D. Hyper > B. Hyper > any chain combo
Same as previous combo but raises heat in advance. Optionally, delayed chains can be added in the beginning.
