Gameplay Overview
Krayce is the BIG Rekka with good movement, huge normals and impressive combo damage. While he can't two touch his opponents in comparison to other members of the cast, his corner carry more than makes up for it. Combine this with his great corner pressue, okizeme, and High/Low mixups, he can run away with a lead very quickly if he is able to get it. However, not only does Krayce have a large hurtbox because of his size, but his sword has little to no disjoints meaning that most of his pokes can easily be counterpoked. He is also extremely dependent on meter for any sort of optimal combo, as he lacks any way to confirm a hard knockdown from anything other then being on top of the opponent without meter. Even with his faults Krayce is still a character that can be a terror on block and okizeme, while still being a difficult character to approach if Krayce dosen't have to. Krayce is a big character who spends meter to take you to the corner to deal with his inescapable 50/50 mixup unless you spend meter. |

Strategy
Neutral
Krayce's neutral game relies on using your big buttons, but not throwing them out wildly, as he lacks disjoints and can get stuffed by his own sword.
Your best approaches are j.C, j.D, f.5B, 2B f.5D, dash up 2D and dash up parry.
J.C is your best far range jump in because of it's range and hitstun. Most J.C's that hit can be followed up with dash up 2D/5A or cl.5C>ch.5C into your main BnB combo. J.D is your best jump in in general due to it's active frames and the amount of pressure it gives since it's very hard to react to. Even if they block the j.D, you get a mixup option (i.e 2D, 4C or grab).
f.5B, 2B and f.5D are good poke buttons that you can confirm into your BnB. f.5D can actually stop your dash and the dust that Krayce kicks eats low projectiles.
While Krayce does have armored moves (cl.5B, 5C and 2C), they're very inconsistent in neutral since they either get stuffed by a multi hit, are nowhere near useful (cl.5B and 5C) or just won't let you cancel from your hitconfirm (2C). So it's best to not rely on them at all.
if you're knocked down, you can either choose to not respect your opponent's mixup by doing 623C on wakeup, commit to a parry on wakeup, just bite it and attempt to block your opponent's mixup, or guard cancel.
If you're fighting a lot in the air (especially against Wells), use j.B religiously. However, if you're not used to air to air fights, go for 623C instead.
You can easily stuff your opponents jump in with your 236236A super, as it will catch them and give you hard knockdown for your okizeme game.
Offence (On Hit)
HKD OKI
Krayce's oki game is amazing, being one of the better oki games when he has you in the corner
Your options on their wakeup are: 236B, 236C, j.D, empty jump (into FORWARD grab, for example)
Krayce's 236A/B/C is the main reason why his oki game is some of the best in the SvG when he has you in the corner. While the B version is used for punishing GC on wakeup with parries or jumps (except Jadou, since his GC is a teleport), his 236C is incredibly oppressive because of how active it is as a stationary projectile. If they block it, you get a free 50/50 high-low mixup with your 2D and 4C into your BnB. If they get hit, you follow up with your main BnB or your infinite. 236A is also a good option when the opponent is able to ground tech, as they are usually able to parry to dodge or hit you out of a 236B/C.

Combos

Chain Combos
Chain Combo | Damage Per Hit | Notes |
5B -> 5C | Basic poke confirm from 5B. | |
5A -> B -> 5C | Simple 5A confirm. | |
5D -> 2B -> 5C | The Same as 5A -> B -> C chain but uses 5D instead. Has much better reach. | |
2A -> 2B -> 2C | One of Krayce's low starters. Used for low starter BnBs. | |
2D -> 2B -> 2C | Another version of Krayce's low starters using 2D instead. The better starter for low BnBs. | |
2D -> 2A -> 2B -> 2C | While 2D -> 2A is chainable, it's not advised since it scales your combo a lot more. Same situation as the other two combos above otherwise. | |
5A/5D/2A/2D -> ch.5C | Chain that utilizes the Chain 5C button. Very strong starter into your BnBs | |
5D -> 5B/2B | This is your main poking tool when too far to land your basic combos. Can be cancelled into your 214C/236D rekka combo. |
Note: All chains ending with 5C (not ch.5C) causes a knockdown. Therefore, they are not advised to use since you'll be wanting to go for your BnBs.
BnB Combos
Combo | Total Damage | Notes | |||
The Corner Infinite | |||||
(Starter) > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (2 hits) > 214214A/B/C >> { {far.A -> 5C > 236B >> 66}x4 > far.A -> 5C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (2 hits) > 214214A/B/C }x∞ | Yes | Krayce's corner infinite. Requires the opponent be standing. Wont work on Erile as he is too small nor Roze due to her hit animation causing the far.A to whiff. | |||
Meterless BnB | |||||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C | 119 | Krayce's main low starter BnB. Punishable in the corner, consider using a bar to SOT if you can. | |||
cl.D -> 5C > 214D ~> D >> 66 2C OTG | 110 | Krayce's main BnB for meterless kd. If you are already in the corner you do not need to dash for the 2C OTG. 2C OTG sets up for 236C Oki of 214D ~> B ~> B/C mixup | |||
cl.D -> 5C > 214D ~> B ~> B | 152 | More damage in exchange for no kd | |||
One Bar BnB | |||||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (SOT) >> 66 cl.5C -> C > 623C ~> 623C >> 66 | 182 | This is Krayce's main corner carry combo that even goes corner to corner. The dash at the end is to put yourself right in front of the opponent for oki, although they get to ground tech. Very important to learn, since you'll be using this a lot. | |||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (SOT) >> 66 B+C | 156 | Your BnB with the Dust ender, still requires the dash after the SoT for the combo to work. Does less damage than your corner carry version but builds a lot of meter in comparison. | |||
2D -> 2B > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (2 hits) > 214214A/B/C >> far.D -> 5C > 214D ~> D >> 2C (OTG) | 203 | Krayce's most damaging 1 bar combo that sets up for oki. Make sure to cancel into super immediately on the 2nd hit of the final rekka part. If you don't they'll be pushed out of the combo. | |||
(Corner)2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> C ~> C ~> B >> 214214C ~> 236A+B >> 2C OTG | 219 | Your normal corner combo. Causes an HKD and lets you 2C OTG ino oki. | |||
2 Bar BnB | |||||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214B ~> C ~> C ~> B SOT >> cl.5C -> C > 623C > 236236C >> 2C (OTG) | 229 | Your corner carry combo but ends with the tornado super for more damage and causes an HKD. Sets up for oki. | |||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (2 hits) > 214214A/B/C >> far.D -> 5C 214D ~> B ~> B >214214A/B/C ~> 236A+B >> 2C OTG | 231 | extension of your 1 bar combo of the same route. Cancel into super as soon as the last part of the 214D ~> B ~> B rekka launches the opponent into the air. | |||
3 Bar BnB | |||||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (2 hits) > 214214A/B/C >> {far.D -> 5C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C (2 hits) > 214214A/B/C}x2 >> far.D -> 5C > 214C ~> B ~> B ~> C > 214214A/B/C ~> 236A+B >> 2C OTG | 246 | Super loop Combo. For when you really want to cash out all your meter, look cool while doing it, and not use your level 3 super. This is actually a huge waste of meter so don't actually do this unless it will kill. | |||
2D -> 2B -> 2C > 214C ~> B ~> B > 641236A+B+C | 322 | Extremely simple and damaging level 3 confirm. You dont want to do the last part of the 214C rekka as it hurts the overall damage | |||
Burst BnB | |||||
662D -> 2B -> 214D > D (SOT) >> Burst >> 623A Delayed SoT >> {2C > 623A Delayed SoT}x4 >> B+C | 261 | Requires a 1 bar burst, 2 bars to start the combo. Burst has to hit to pick up on the combo. Maximizes your damage and finishes with some meter from dust. 623A > 2C loops are a bit tricky to get down, try to 2C when the opponent is at Krayce's crouching head height then immediately cancel into 623A. | |||
662D -> 2B -> 214D > D (SOT) >> Burst >> 623A Delayed SoT > {2C > 623A Delayed SoT}x3 >> 214C (1 hit) > 643216A+B+C | 305 | Requires a 1 bar burst, 2 bars to start the combo. Burst has to hit to pick up on the combo. Maximizes your damage and finishes with some meter from dust. 623A > 2C loops are a bit tricky to get down, try to 2C when the opponent is at Krayce's crouching head height then immediately cancel into 623A. Do the same for the 214C, if they are to low both hits of 214C will connect leading to less dmg. If you hit too high they will flip out of the combo and the level 3 will whiff, leaving you wide open. |
