Summary
Haku is considered by many as one of the most technically challenging characters SCON has to offer, due to to his subpar HP and high skill ceiling. Haku's playstyle revolves around the use of his trademark needle projectiles, used to threaten tick throws, create frame traps, or for his needle loop infinite. Haku also possesses strong normals, such as 8B and 2A, allowing for both defensive and offensive game plans to shine. Utilizing the many applications of needles in tandem with Haku's great normals is essential to mastering the character.

Cartwheel kick. One of Haku's best normals as it can't be crushed by most moves, has great frame data all around for safety on whiff/block, and actually does a good job at hitting opponents out of close air space too.

Haku takes a quick step forward into a kunai sweep at the opponent's feet. Great for low profiling in neutral due to the surprise movement and fast high crush.

- Needle release can be delayed by holding , at the cost of chakra
Haku throws a stream of 5 ice needles. The best and most character-defining tool in his kit, and easily one of the best moves in the game period.
Haku's air shanks are better than most because of the number he throws and how spaced out the toss is. They cover the space in front of him for longer than regular kunai tosses, to where an instant gives him enough time to either combo if they hit or pressure on block.
Whenever Haku holds the button, his needles float in the air where he placed them instead of flying at the opponent immediately where they will also constantly adjust their trajectory to track the opponent's position until they are released. The needles are uninteractable while held and aside from manual release, they will also be let go if he runs out of chakra, is hit by an attack or is forced to block an attack. As for manually releasing, it can also be done while Haku is in the middle of most other actions (i.e. using attacks, sidestepping, and during throw & throw whiff animations). This means that Haku has quick and effective access to needles of Damocles, quite literally hanging over the head of the opponent in neutral or close quarters situations to either unblockable back hit them, punish the opponent for attempting offense, enabling "needle loops" that force baitable KnJs, and bolster Haku's offense by giving him plus frames and thus constant strike/throw on demand.

Average cinematic super. Haku can universally do 5 hits of a combo prior to a BBX super confirm, any higher than that and the juggle starts to drop on certain characters.

Haku teleports to the opponent wherever they are on the stage and hits them with an unblockable stomp, before summoning more needles to stab them. Functions as both a reversal super and neutral tool against certain characters. However, it must be used wisely in both instances because the invincibility on startup is short and the super flash telegraphs to the opponent that they should step your super.

Colors
Note: When Haku gets hit while using a masked color, his mask will fall off when he loses about half of his health, remaining maskless for the rest of the match. This has no gameplay implications at all.
