Chaos Code/NSC/Kudlak-Sin

Story

Kudlak-SIN
『クドゥラック-SIN』

Kudlak comes from a long line of magicians and is the last to know the secret of magic (if you ignore all the other characters who are magic). When growing up kudlak lost interest in magic and pursued science and technology instead, but then he decided to go back to magic and now he wants to use the unlimited power of the Chaos Code to make the world worse as revenge for... something.

Playstyle

Health: 27500 Stun Threshold: 75

Kudlak is a character that specializes in zoning tactics. He can summon sacrificial dolls to aggressively control space, act as shields, or hinder the opponent's approach. He also has access to tools that are just not anywhere else in the game, like a jumping low, stealing meter/health, and a guard cancel.

Mobility (Run vs Step)

Run: Run is the most common bounce, simply because Kudlak doesn't really benefit from the step cancels. His pressure is geared more towards pushing the opponent away than trying to get in

Step:

Extra Move Selection

Kudlak's extra moves are all crazy strong and do things a chaos code character shouldn't be able to do. He doesn't have any real obvious holes in his toolset either, so you're really just free to pick any 2 that you think are good. Of the 4 Atonement is the only one that doesn't really stand out, but it has it's uses.

Recommended Sets

Surrender & Envy Surrender drains meter from the opponent & can be used as a mix-up on it's own. Envy is a jumping low. Together they can create situations where an opponent has to guess high/low/throw and on 2 out 3 of those situations they lose a chunk of meter. Kudlak also doesn't need any extra moves for exceed combos thanks to Weep, so you can create situations where you win round 1, have a big stock of meter, and you opponent has nothing because you stole all their resources. Very good position to be in.

Envy & Doubt Doubt gives guard cancels and, on it's own can enable extended pressure or combo strings thanks to the fast recovery. This can help Kudlak escape bad situations and Envy can help create openings.

Surrender & Doubt Same as the above but with Surrender. The situation of canceling into Doubt off of a normal that hits the opponent standing is a very good one for surrender, either tic throwing into it or comboing into it. It's not a use of meter that would be good for most characters, but because Doubt's guard cancel stocks last forever it's not really a waste if you didn't have them up.

2A

2A File:CC KU 2A.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 300 2 stun - High/Low - - - - yes - A zombie comes off the ground, stabbing the opponent with his drill on his hand. Fast startup, slightly shorter range than 5A, but has the same damage.

5B

5B File:CC KU 5B.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 300 2 stun - High/Low - - - - Yes - Kudlak snaps his right fingers to summon a zombie that attacks with its arms from the ground. This move is a standing low that reaches to the kneecap, low damage.

2B

2B File:CC KU 2B.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 400 2 stun - Low - - - - Yes - Zombie attack with a diagonal upward drill this time. Small range, same range as 5B.

5C

5C File:CC KU 5C.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 700+ 700 3+3 stun - High/Low - - - - Yes Stagger A bigger version of 5A in the form of an intertwined red wave. High damage, can be used as an anti-air because of its large rectangular hitbox. 2 hits with decent recovery.

2C

2C File:CC KU 2C.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 1300 4 stun - High/Low - - - - Yes Stagger Kudlak does an upward slash, almost like an uppercut. Similar horizontal range and damage as 5C. Mediocre startup with slow recovery but its range is useful for situational anti-airs.

5D

5D File:CC KU 5D.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 500+800 5+6 stun - High/Low - - - - No Stagger Kudlak summons two zombies that lunge into the opponent and knock them down fullscreen when midscreen and wallsplats in the corner. Even though the zombies appear on a height from the waist upward, they can hit crouching opponents too. Slightly lower damage than 5C, 2 hits.

2D

2D File:CC KU 2D.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 1400 6 stun - Low - - - - No Launch A zombie appears from the ground, hugs the opponent’s feet, causing a knockdown. Mediocre startup with fast recovery, its range is the same length as the Chaos gauge

j.A

j.A File:CC KU jA.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 600 2 stun - High - - - - Yes - Mid-Air version of 5B with the zombie reaching horizontally and closer to Kudlak. Fast, same damage as 5A. The horrible vertical hitbox and great horizontal hitbox makes this only useful in air-to-air situations

j.B

j.B File:CC KU jB.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 500 2 stun - High - - - - Yes - Similar to j.A, but this time the zombie reaches diagonally downwards. Unlike jA, this move is awesome for jump-ins and IAD approaches, and is also a great combo filler.

j.C (together)

j.C File:CC KU jC.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 800 4 stun - High - - - - Yes Stagger Similar to j.B, but with two zombies. The hitbox is not wide, but taller. Same frame speed as j.B, causes less damage than 5C.

j.D (together)

j.D File:CC KU jD.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 500 + 500 + 1000 3 + 3 + 7 stun - High - - - - Yes Stagger Similar to j.A, but with two zombies for a 3 hit air normal. The new upper zombie adds more reach to the attack. This could be considered as Kudlak-Sin’s widest normal.Last hit knocks the opponent back. Great damage and Stun for a normal move.

Special Moves

Special Moves

Note : Unless stated otherwise, Kudlak can never have two dolls of the same type on the screen at the same time. Most of them have a cooldown period before disappearing that must be taken into account.

236X

Houzankou 236X File:CC KU 236X.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - - - The Maw. Kudlak summons a zombie torso that opens up to bite the opponent at a set range. Each version summons the maw increasingly far away, with A being the closest at ~1 character length and D being the furthest at ~4 character lengths. Punch maws (A and C) push the opponent away on hit and kick maws (B and D) bring them in. There's a cooldown after summoning a maw where you can't summon another of that type (punch/kick) for a little bit, however there is no cooldown on EX Maw. There are 2 EX versions of this move, both summon a zombie that grabs and then explodes. A+C summons this zombie in between the ranges of B and C, B+D summons this zombie in between the ranges of C and D.

22K

Weak 22K File:CC KU 22K.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/low - - - - - - The Floater. Moves across the ground, B version goes slow, D version goes faster, EX version goes very slow and has more hitstun. The EX version also has a strange property where setting it can trigger proximity guard if you're close enough, however none of the floaters trigger proximity guard when their hotboxes are actually active, including EX.

214K

Passion 214K File:CC KU 214K.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - - - The Walker. Zombie who walks forward and then explodes into spikes. Walkers will explode on their own if they don't see anything after a while. The trigger for exploding is if they line up with an opponent's X coordinate, so if someone jumps over a walker they'll go off even if the opponent is at the top of the screen. Walkers have a hurtbox and can get killed by active hitboxes including projectiles or normals that collide with them. Notably, they'll walk right past other walkers or Sith since neither will trigger the other. B version is slower, D version is faster. EX verion is slow, has a hitbox when being summoned, and is invincible (that is to say, the walker is invincible, Kudlak is not). Walkers will not go away if Kudlak is hit, usually this doesn't matter much since the walker itself will get hit in most situations Kudlak is getting hit, but because the EX walker is invun he can be a combo breaker. EX Walker also waits a bit before fading from the screen, locking out any version of the move for a longer period of time.

214P

Misanthropy 214P File:CC KU 214P.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - - - Kudlak dashes in and slashes. C version goes further, EX version launches. The C version can also launch for a juggle if the opponent is cornered and Kudlak is at the right distance to hit with the late active frames of the slash.

623P

Confession 623P File:CC KU 623P.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - - - Blood Jesus. This zombie stays in place and activates when an opponent gets close, turning into a sword and slashing. EX version hits when it comes out and crumples making it a good combo piece. All versions can be done in the air. Ideally you set this up just above the ground so that it will stop both ground and air approaches. Another common use is placing a blood jesus above a cornered opponent as they wake up so that they have to deal with the hitbox if they try and jump out of the corner.

632146K

Surrender 632146K File:CC KU 632146K.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - Throw - - - - - - Command grab that takes meter away from the opponent. Can be comboed into really easily thanks to 6B. After the grab you can OTG the opponent for a further combo. The amount of meter your opponent loses is pretty significant, it's over half a bar and does not scale. Denying meter to your opponent can be really strong in a game where most characters can do TODs with full resources.

j.214K

Envy j.214K File:CC KU j214K.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - Low - - - - - - Hands appear on the ground under Kudlak. This move is a jumping low, the D version hits a bit further out than the B version. Both versions will launch for a combo. Kudlak recovers before the hands hit which means this move has really huge frame advantage.

236236P

Passive 236236P File:CC KU 236236P.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - - - Kudlak stabs himself and then sucks blood from the opponent. Steals health and has invun through active frames. The animation restands, but you can't chaos shift until it launches.

236236K

Weep 236236K File:CC KU 236236K.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - Low - - - - - - Beam super, you can react to the flash so the low hit property isn't really a mix-up, but it is funny. The total duration of this super is pretty short so it makes good exceed fodder.

214214P

Atonement 214214P File:CC KU 214214P.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - - - Big tornado, sends the opponent really high up. The tornado will stay on screen once summoned even if kudlak gets hit out of it so this could potentially trade favorably. Passive is generally the better reversal though.

214214K

Doubt 214214K File:CC KU 214214K.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - - - Install super that gives guard cancels. Press forward or back and A+B while in blockstun to guard cancel roll. This is the only way that any character can do anything while in blockstun. It's strength is matchup dependent but in matchups against characters who have strong block pressure this can be extremely strong. It can also allow kudlak to punish some moves that are otherwise safe. There's also very little recovery on the install itself which means you can kind of just activate whenever (tho keep in mind it's not totally instant) and use the superflash to see what your opponent is doing. You can also use this super as a way to RC a normal for 1 bar, or a special for 2 bars.

23663214AC

Tree of Life 23663214A+C File:CC KU lvl3.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - - - - - - - - Kudlak dashes forward and performs two hits. if the second connects, he then pierces the opponent's stomach with his hand before summoning a tree of Blood that hits multiple times. It's a pretty classic Destruction Chaos with a good range too boot.
