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! [1]

Playstyle

Fubuki Shirakami is a well-rounded "shoto" character that has solid tools for every situation with a sprinkle of RNG.

Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Flexibility: Equipped with a balanced set of normals, a variety of reliable anti-airs, a fast forward-moving projectile invuln spin attack, solid projectiles, multiple metered reversals, and the ability to convert resources into safe pressure extensions, Fubuki has at least some way to contest the opponent at every range and is ready for any situation. Gacha: Fubuki's random SSR-enhanced special moves lead to more damaging combos and have additional neutral or defensive utility without requiring meter to be spent outside of 22S. Instant Overheads: Fubuki's rising j.L is an instant overhead that does not require assist, meter, or a setup in order to convert into damage. Cute Fox Girls

Generalists: While Fubuki can perform comfortably in every situation, as a result of other characters being more specialized, very few of her tools are considered the best in their class individually. Gacha: Optimal play will require the player to be able to react to sudden SSRs happening and be ready to adjust their neutral, pressure, combos, knockdowns, and oki timings on the fly. Also, taking into account her unique passive's "pity" system tied to number of specials used in a row may be a bit challenging.

Note: As this section of the page was written shortly after the game was released, its only purpose is to help guide new players towards assists that are generally considered useful for the character, and should be revised by an experienced player as the game develops more. Don't be afraid to pick and try something else!

• Miko - Both of Miko's assists allow Fubuki to safely continue pressure and enforce mixups after a knockdown. Her L+H assist persists even when you are getting hit, so it can be used defensively to make it harder for the opponent to reliably apply pressure or finish combos.
• Amelia - Amelia's 214S makes Fubuki's strike/throw game much scarier, since it allows her to combo off of throw and 3H knockdowns for a sizeable amount of damage. Her L+H time slow is also very flexible in how it can be used combined with Fubuki's kit (neutral, defense, offense, combo extension, forcing scrambles, etc.) so just having it stocked demands respect from the opponent.
• Marine - Marine's L+H assist helps Fubuki a lot in offense, since the opponent has to either take tons of chip damage or eat an air unblockable attack. It can be used in neutral as a way to bait a jump or on defense to force the opponent to adjust their pressure or combos to get out of the way of Marine. Marine's 214S can also help at long range and may be used to extend some combos.
• Kiara - Kiara greatly helps Fubuki during neutral against projectile zoners, thanks to her L+H reflect assist. Fubuki can also use Kiara's 214S to safely run in from far away. Not very good for combos at all, but Fubuki's kit shines once she gets in, so if you can use Kiara to force your way in, then Fubuki can easily get the job done.

Moves

Standing Normals

5L

5M

5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 60 Mid 7 3 27 -9 -3 None Fairly quick poke that can be confirmed with 214X even at max range. Has significantly longer blockstun than her other normals, so it is the prime normal to cancel into projectiles out of on block.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 86(45,41) Mid 11 2(2)2 24 -13 +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, Air Unblockable 5 2 10 0 +3 None 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

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 70 Low, Air Unblockable 8 4 18 -3 +4 None Fubuki's low tail poke that has more range than her sweep, but is a bit shorter than her 5M. Has high blockstun compared to her other normals, but less than 5M. Links into itself on counterhit. Has fairly high base damage for its speed, so it is both a great starter and an amazing 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.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 85 Mid, Air Unblockable 10 3 25 -16 - (3~13) Head Jump cancellable on hit and block Fubuki's main anti-air and launcher. Head invuln starts up on frame 3, and it has an 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.

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.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 30 High 6 6 Until Landing + 3 +1 (-2) - None Frame advantage on block is based on highest possible standing block from similar-height opponents and can be more advantageous if blocked deeper (it can also be less advantageous if blocked at max height by taller characters) Instant overhead. Confirm with j.S or j.214X. Also a great air to air when rising as well.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 60 High 10 6 Until Landing + 4 +4 (+1) - None Frame advantage on block is based on highest possible standing block from similar-height opponents and can be more advantageous if blocked deeper (it can also be less advantageous if blocked at max height by taller characters) Large and disjointed, this is Fubuki's furthest reaching air normal and her only true sword normal. Its active frames start below her before reaching in front and then above her. The hitbox above her in the late active frames is enormous and hard to contest. A great normal to just throw out safely in neutral, especially while being chased by the opponent from the ground or in the air.

j.H

j.H Early Active Early Active Active Until Landing Active Until Landing

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 95 High 12 Until Landing Until Landing + 5 +3 (0) - None Crossup hitbox only on the first 4 active frames Frame advantage on block is based on highest possible standing block from similar-height opponents and can be more advantageous if blocked deeper (it can also be less advantageous if blocked at max height by taller characters) Active until landing with a crossup hitbox on startup. Leads to an extremely advantageous ground bounce on air hit that is easy to convert into big damage, no matter how awkward the hit. This attribute combined with the fact that it is active until landing makes it a very scary move to contest. This move shines its brightest in matchups against characters who do not have a fast or reliable anti-air. As already mentioned, j.H only has a crossup hitbox for the first 4 frames. After those initial frames, the rest of the frames that are active until landing lack that crossup hitbox, so keep that in mind when timing its use. This is mostly a big reminder that if you want it to cross up, you have to hit this button much later into a jump.

4H

4H Guardpoint Catch Guardpoint Catch Strike Strike

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability 90 Mid 20 4 32 -22 +4 (8~19) Guard Point 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 can be used in 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 10 2x3 Until Landing + 4 - - None A unique multi-hitting crossup air normal. Has a massive hitbox around Fubuki's upper body that covers more vertical space than any of her other air normals of similar speed in their early active frames. Its multi-hitting attribute makes it quite menacing when used as a meaty jump-in for oki as timings can be varied slightly to change the number of overheads that will occur before Fubuki lands. Very useful for attempting to adlib and stabilize random SSR j.214X hits that may happen at the end of air combos.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability L 65 Mid 16 Until Offscreen 31 -7~ +2~ None SSR - 8.8% Slow projectile that spawns further forward than 236M. Does not cause Fubuki to be pushed back on block when the opponent's back is to the corner, it instead inherits the pushback from the normal it was cancelled out of. Unsafe on block at close range, but can be made unpunishable or even plus when done at slightly further distances. Great way to end a pressure string. 5S uses this version. As a result of the projectile spawning further forward and travelling slower, it will not reach meaningful plus frames until further distances compared to 236M, but those plus frames will be potentially much greater based on distance, as shown in the diagram below. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability M 65 Mid 15 Until Offscreen 31 -7~ +6~ None SSR - 11.5% Better scaling than 236L Fast projectile that spawns somewhat behind Fubuki. Does not cause Fubuki to be pushed back on block when the opponent's back is to the corner, it instead inherits the pushback from the normal it was cancelled out of. Unsafe on block at close range, but can be made unpunishable or even plus when done at slightly further distances. Great way to end a pressure string. 6S uses this version. As a result of the projectile spawning behind Fubuki and travelling faster, it will reach meaningful plus frames from shorter distances compared to 236L, but those plus frames will be potentially lower based on distance, as shown in the diagram below. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability SSR 65 Mid 15 Until Offscreen 31 -7~ +2 (Air tech) None L and M version SSRs are considered different specials, but M has better scaling Enhanced larger and faster projectile via luck or 22S that launches into air tech. Has significantly less pushback than a normal projectile and does not cause Fubuki to be pushed back on block when the opponent's back is to the corner. Decent pressure ender that lets Fubuki tech chase on hit. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv. on Block Adv. on Hit Invulnerability H 114(60,54) Mid 13 Until Offscreen 27 +13~ +22~ None "Kon-cob" Faster startup projectile with 2 hits. It is very advantageous on block, even at point blank. Useful for extending pressure or even forcing a mixup if done from ranges where its frame advantage on block becomes absurdly plus. Arguably the best way to use a super chat cancel on block if you want to further your offense, as it almost guarantees that your pressure will be extended regardless of distance. Take note that 214L and 214M both have 12 frames of blockstun which means that 236H being 13f startup creates a minimum 1f gap between an immediate super chat cancel 236H out of a blocked 214X. Amazing as a frame trap, but the gap being guaranteed means that if the opponent has meter stocked, they can exploit it by doing a reversal.

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. 2nd active hitbox is actually both taller and wider than the first. Actually hits twice, great for ending air combos. Relatively safe on block (unless the 2nd hit is instant blocked) when used near the ground and by using the easy input 8S you can get the special to happen at the earliest possible frame 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.
