An active, chunky hit for poking and antiairing. -2 on block is not bad for it with good pushback, and you can link many things from it. It's active frames also make it ideal for being a meaty. | |||

Horrible poke material due to bad frame advantage, and it doesnt serve any purpose in combos, but makes for an excellent antiair. It has fast startup and is air unblockable, making it very ideal for catching spaced jumps. It can also cancel into Hadouken for a spinout juggle. | |||

Retsu's main low poke and confirm tool. Although it has stubby range, it can occasionally catch people high blocking the infinite blockstring, and confirms into 2D or 4124K Hurricane Kick. | |||

An amazing quick close-range normal for combos and pressure. Jabwalk 2Cs link into themselves up to 4 times for a high amount of damage, and confirm into Hurricane Kick, which on block starts the infinite blockstring. Retsu can abuse this button whenever he's in on you. | |||

|description = | |description = | ||
A sweep for Retsu's knockdowns. Though outclassed by Hurricane Kick as a combo ender, it is a rare + on block sweep that can go into the infinite blockstring. It's hard to confirm this at long range, but this makes for an alright low-range low poke. | |||

This taunt is alright to stock a Shaolin super, but you sacrifice your up-close pressure off your knockdowns if they choose to quickrise. Nonetheless, this is a great way to help Retsu's lacking defense. | |||

A version travels slower, C version travels faster but the same distance. A bad fireball akin to Dan's "Gadoken" in the mainline SF series. This notably does not travel fullscreen and Retsu recovers much after the fireball has already dissipated, making this a sheer block to fireball wars but can't outright win them. The frame advantage isn't very good either, with it being punishable on hit and block at point blank and not too + at far range. This makes it only useful for pressure situations and anti-zoning, however you would rather try to be upclose abusing an infinite blockstring. | |||

A high-damage counter for callouts like pokes or jump ins. It activates when something touches its activation range, but loses to lows, projectiles, and throws. Although the name says "reversal", it's not an amazing defensive option. | |||

B version has 3 total hits, D version has 4 total hits, always use the D version. Hurricane Kick is the core part of Retsu's up-close pressure. It has a large amount of + frames on block starting Retsu's amazing infinite blockstring, a simple rep would be 2C > 4124D. Doing the infinite blockstring is good for chipping people out and getting them into the corner. It's also an amazing confirming special as it's very fast and confirms from many linking sequences, even off of 5C. | |||

An incredibly niche fireball super. It's not a single multihit fireball like Shinku Hadoken and Tiger Cannon, which is useless because it doesn't punish fireballs thrown at the same time. It also deals pathetic damage for a super and doesnt knock down, making it awful for confirms. The main use is that it blocks fireballs while throwing one back, but your meter is better spent on Shaolin in all areas. | |||

|description = | |description = | ||
A very solid confirm and reversal super. Very powerful on full connect, but if it's outside range it's very prone to dropping hits and thus dropping the combo. It is however safe on block but not + on a dropped confirm or the opponent falls out. The knockdown helps you set up a safe taunt for looping meter. | |||

Background
Retsu is a previously ex-communicated martial artist who was banned from his dojo for using forbidden techniques. Retsu is much older and wiser than he looks, being one of Goutetsu's dojo assistants and watching Gouken and Akuma personally. He was tasked with locating the two of them as they trained elsewhere, under the request of Goutetsu. When Retsu found Gouken, he had been training in the mountains for 14 days without food or water, a feat only accomplished by Goutetsu before him. This meant that Gouken had reached enlightenment. Retsu gave him a final test by taking him to the village where his parents were murdered. Gouken said he had no intentions to fight them, proving to Retsu that he had passed and became enlightened.
Introduction
Retsu is an aggressive rushdown character, using his high damage and very plus normals and specials to force the opponent to block long chip strings and punishing them when they try to escape. His 4214K Incomplete Spin Kick makes for an amazing combo ender and is plus enough to true string into itself, allowing Retsu to essentially checkmate a round if it gets blocked. His buttons like 2C, 2B, 5C, and 5D all make for stellar close range brawling tools, and while he lacks any throw or overhead to mix with, he doesn't need them as much as other mixless characters do. 214P Retsu Reversal, while not a true reversal, allows him to call out bad pokes and repetitive pressure for big damage. His 236236K Shaolin Special super is amazing to end combos with, when it connects properly.
Retsu suffers from SF1MR system mechanics somewhat, as he has to contend with powerful zoning and superior buttons. While he can infinitely blockstring, it isn't easy or fast, and requires that he still gets in and lands a Tatsu. His 236P Hadouken and 236236P Hadouken x3 are pitiful fireballs, and only really exist to give Retsu an answer to zoning himself by allowing him to delete fireballs with his own. Shaolin Special is a great reversal, starting in 2 frames and being fully invincible for a large time, but it can drop hits or even fall out at longer ranges. This especially becomes an issue with his midscreen super combos, though in the corner this is less true. Retsu is a rushdown character with some decent tools for neutral and defense, but as a reference to the infamous joke character Dan, a few of his tools just don't work sometimes.
