Idol Showdown/Fubuki Shirakami

Versatile Fox Spirit - Adaptable Gacha Mastery

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 special move. 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!

Playstyle

Fubuki Shirakami is a well-rounded "shoto" character with tools for every distance.

Recommended Collabs

• Miko - Both of Miko's assists allows Fubuki to safely continue pressure after combos
• Amelia - Amelia's 214S makes Fubuki's strike/throw much scarier, since it allows her to combo off of throw for a sizeable amount of damage
• Marine - Marine's LH assist helps Fubuki a lot in offense, since the opponent has to either take tons of chip damage or eat an AUB attack. It can also be used in neutral is a way to bait a jump. Marine's 214S can also help at long range
• Kiara - Kiara greatly helps Fubuki during neutral against zoners, thanks to her reflect Assist. She can also use Kiara's 214S to safely get in from far away

Normal Moves

Standing Normals

5L

5L Kon kon! Kon kon!	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 30 Mid 6 3 - -1 - None Standard fast jab that hits crouchers. Links into itself on counterhit.

5M

5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 60 Mid 7 3 - -9 - None Fairly quick poke that can be confirmed with 214X even at max range.

5H

5H

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 86(45,41) Mid 11 2(2)2 - -14 +9 None Foward-moving slash that hits twice and inflicts a lengthy amount of hitstun. Can be linked back into Medium or even dashing Light buttons on hit as a result of the massive frame advantage. Be careful using this move in pressure, however, as it actually has lower blockstun than 5M which may create unwanted gaps during normal gatlings and special cancels.

Crouching Normals

2L

2L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 25 Low 5 2 - 0 - None Air unblockable Fubuki's fastest normal. Hits low and is not negative on block on top of having 5f startup which makes it a very strong pressure tool. Links into itself on counterhit.

2M

2M

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 70 Low 8 3 - -3 - None Air unblockable Fubuki's low tail poke that has more range than her sweep, but is a bit shorter than her 5M. Links into itself on counterhit. Has fairly high base damage for its speed, so it is both a great starter and combo tool. Can take advantage of the move's low recovery to gatling into a whiff and pull in 5M's hurtbox. This makes it harder to attempt punishing on block at max range, even though 5M's frame advantage does not change from being -9.

2H

2H Electric Wind Fox Fist Electric Wind Fox Fist

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 85 Mid 10 3 - -16 - None Jump cancellable on hit and block Air unblockable Fubuki's main anti-air and launcher. 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. Air unblockable.

3H

3H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 95 Low 10 3 - -11 - None Fubuki's sweep which leads to hard knockdown. Somewhat short compared to her other normals, so be careful in combos and pressure since it is easy to whiff if you are just barely out of range.

Jumping Normals

j.L

j.L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 30 High 6 6 - - - None Instant overhead. Confirm with j.S or j.214X.

j.M

j.H

j.H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 95 High 10 Until Landing - - - None Active until landing with a crossup hitbox. Leads to an extremely advantageous ground bounce on air hit that is easy to confirm, which makes it great for swinging in neutral and important for combos.

Command Normals

4H

4H Guardpoint Catch Guardpoint Catch Strike Strike

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 90 Mid 20 4 - -22 - None Slow command normal with a guardpoint catch midway through startup 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 pressure. Do not whiff this, it has ridiculous recovery. Only has 1 hit of guardpoint and will get cleanly beaten by multi-hitting moves.

j.2M

j.2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 56(20,18x2) High - - - - - None Multi-hitting crossup air normal.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability L 55 Mid 7 2(9)2 - -20 - None SSR - 7.8% Projectile invuln during the gap between active hitboxes Second hit of the tatsu lands at earliest on frame 18 and is -11 on block 4S version of the special has better combo scaling Quick low damage tatsu. Use it to slip past projectiles in neutral, but be careful since the invuln is a bit finicky. Despite having multiple active hits, only ever hits once. 4S uses this version. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability M 90 Mid 10 2(6)2(6)2 - -26 - None SSR - 7.8% Projectile invuln during the gaps between active hitboxes Second hit of the tatsu lands at earliest on frame 18 and is -20 on block Third hit of the tatsu lands at earliest on frame 26 and is -14 on block Slower but higher damaging tatsu. Use it to slip past projectiles in neutral, but be careful since the invuln is a bit finicky. Despite having multiple active hits, only ever hits once.

Despite having multiple active hits, only ever hits once. Same animation as 214M. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability SSR (M) 90 Mid 10 2(6)2(6)2 - -26 - None Projectile invuln during the gaps between active hitboxes Second hit of the tatsu lands at earliest on frame 18 and is -20 on block Third hit of the tatsu lands at earliest on frame 26 and is -14 on block Exactly the same as SSR (L) except it has better scaling.

j.214X

Aerial Blizzard j.214X or j.S

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability L/M/H 52(20,32) Mid 10 2(9)2 - -12 - None SSR(L) - 8.8% SSR(M) - 11.3% SSR(H) - 11.3% No projectile invuln Frame advantage on block is based on lowest possible startup height (8S) L version of the special has worse combo scaling than M, H, and j.S versions respectively Air tatsu that travels at a slight upward angle. Light, Medium, and Heavy versions are all considered the same special despite having different SSR rates and scaling and as a result they cannot be SCC'd into each other. Actually hits twice, great for ending air combos. Relatively safe on block when used near the ground. Using the easy input 8S you can get the special to happen right off of the ground which makes it much more frustrating for opponents to deal with. Grounded opponents hit by the first part of the move and not the second will be inflicted with extremely long hitstun which allows for heavily damaging followups. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability SSR 52(20,32) Mid 10 2(9)2 - -12 - None No projectile invuln Frame advantage on block is based on lowest possible startup height (8S) Enhanced air tatsu via luck or 22S that also hits twice and causes a wall bounce that allows for easy combo extensions.

22S

Burger Fox 22S	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability - - - - - - - None Power-up that guarantees Fubuki's next special move is the SSR version. Using this more than once stores additional uses of the guaranteed SSR beyond the next special.

Combos

WIP

Notation:

• digit represents direction based on numpad location
  
• X = any L / M / H button
• j.X = jump L / M / H button
• X(1) = first hit of a multi hit move
• (X) = L / M / H button is optional
• ~ = link instead of cancel

Enders

Combo	Difficulty	Damage	Cost	Meter Gain	Location
delay 22M		-	-	-	Anywhere
Allows Fubuki to do a safe jump with forward jump j.L or forward jump j.2M if opponent techs
j.H > j.214X (or j.S)		-	-	-	-
Better corner carry for worse oki
dash 2M (or 5M) > delay 3H		-	-	-	-
Hard knockdown. Done by cutting the combo short after the first 2H. 3H needs to be slightly delayed or it will whiff.

BnBs

Your go to routes if you don't know what to do.
All combos work with 2L as a starter but will have worse damage.
Since dashing builds meter try to do them even in the corner where they aren't necessary.

Combo	Difficulty	Damage	Cost	Meter Gain	Location
5L > 2M > 5H > 4H > H > delay j.H > dash 2M > 5H > 4H > 2H > Ender		289	-	1.08	anywhere
Delay j.H until Fubuki reaches nearly max height. Will also prevent side switch in the corner. Against Ayame do dash 2M > 5H(1) for more consistency since her hurtbox is smaller and 2H tends to whiff when both hits of 5H connect (283 damage). This route is also an introduction to Fubuki's amazing tech traps. If you are a bit late with dash 2M you will anti air them with 2M, when they tech, resulting in a reset. If they no tech you will continue the combo as if you actually timed the dash correctly.
5L > 2M > 5H ~ 2M > 5H > (4H) > 2H > delay j.H > dash 2M > 5M > 4H > 2H > Ender		280 (288)	-	1.19 (1.24)	anywhere
Delay j.H until Fubuki reaches nearly max height. Will also prevent side switch in the corner. (4H) will whiff on spaced 5L.
rising j.L > j.214X(1) ~ 5H ~ 2M > 5H > 4H > 2H > H > dash 2M > 5M > 4H > 2H > Ender		257	-	1.32	anywhere
Instant overhead starter. Using j.214L will result in worse damage (242).
