Ougon Musou Kyoku/Kanon
Wiki Status
STATUS: UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Background
Kanon serves as a servant for the Ushiromiya family, and is romantically connected with Jessica. His backstory is fascinating.
Intrdoction
Kanon is pretty similar to Lucifer, both being fast characters with good neutral, and while Lucifer has little better pressure and neutral button wise, Kanon has better damage, mobility with walljump and leap special. Kanon's defense is also more solid with better antiairs and invincible reversal. Kanon is excellent partner to zoning heavy character since thanks to his ability his team can get huge meter lead fast.
Strengths
- Great neutral and mobility: Kanon dominates neutral with his great dash speed and good neutral buttons, he also can be hard to catch thanks to his walljump and air wolfleap.
- Decent damage: Optimal routes for Kanon can be hard at first, but do offer decent damage and good oki.
- Great meter build: With right team, Kanon's ability allows for great meter build and advantage, which is very important in high level.
- Good ground antiair: Kanon has luxury of having good ground antiair of 2B which can lead to good damage and oki with counterhit.
Weaknesses
- Alot minus frames on buttons: Kanon has very disadvantageous framedata, and he has to be mindful what buttons to press/end strings in or steal turn with wolf leap
- Wolf leap pressure is reactable: wolfleap cancel from B buttons can be dash undered, and cancel from C puts Kanon into danger of being parry touched of DPd.
Ability
Silent Attack - Drastically reduces the amount of SP the opponent gains from your attacks.

Note E: Hits only once; Each hit has different damage (150, 120, 90), and Guard (L, L, M). Unconfirmed: The last hit might be considered a lower level attack (ie: less hitstun/guardstun) than the first two. Note F: 20 frames of forced (crouching) landing recovery that cannot be canceled. Knockdown only occurs on grounded opponents. Animation-wise; it is active until Kanon lands.

Team Building
Feel free to edit this part of the wiki with your tips/strats what partners are best for Kanon to use. Remember I'm watching you. The information displayed here is from the 2022 Team Tier List from the Ougon Discord Thus, it is open to change, but it should work as a building block for people looking for team pairing ideas. If you are a player of any of the teams and want to change anything feel free to do so.
Ange
- Terrible damage, Silent Attack is wasted by stun proration, pretty much no synergy. Both rely on their partner for damage.
Battler
- The two of these come together to form a very oppressive neutral. Similar to Bat/Luci the pair has answers for any opponent, but its damage suffers even more. However at least against some opponents,fullscreen trolling with Battler’s MetaSuper buffed with Silent Attack generates free meter advantage for you which is crucial.
- It can’t be underestimated the extent to which these two can shut down the opponent’s options, so it’s similar to Bat/Rono in that way.
- Would be a better team if certain characters (BEATRICE) didn’t exist. They can also struggle against bulky teams.
Black Battler
- Plays the same as Bat/Kan but with pitiful bulk and difficulty stunning.
- BB’s meterless reversal makes this team’s neutral that much better, but his low health leaves absolutely no room for error, so this team hates getting hit.
- Just play Bat/Kan, unless you are really confident in your survivability skills.
Beatrice
- Beatrice’s towers give the opponent so much SP that Silent Attack doesn’t matter, leaving Luci the obvious better option. Her moveset with a more versatile 2C and the ability to 3C is also preferable.
- You could try to avoid using towers to slowly generate a lead just for your side, but this is generally unnecessary and Rono is better for that.
Bernkastel
- Plays a lot like Bat/Kan except it has slightly higher damage and has to rushdown a lot more desperately due to the lack of Resurrection and lower health.
- You’ll want to spam Bern’s MetaSuper if you can to gain advantage. Kanon doesn’t really add much to Bern’s gameplan though compared to what some others (Beato, Will) can do while also generating meter advantage. Bern doesn’t need help scoring hits.
Chiester 410
- Silent Attack with 410’s MetaSuper is kind of nice, but it’s a bit of a marginal advantage especially on a team that can mostly only play rushdown.
- These two have a strong neutral but they struggle to do much damage without constant resets; a big part of why Luci/410 is good is the added dimension to mixup and damage that Luci’s ability adds. Lacking this here is just a shame.
Dlanor
- Overshadowed by Kan/Will. Kanon doesn’t want ArmorBoost, he wants someone who can play rushdown with him. Dlanor drops momentum too often.
Erika
- Functional but neither should be choosing the other over Will under any circumstances.
- Bad damage, but great neutral. Kanon doesn’t mind Force Counter."
EVA-Beatrice
- Good, but Eva’s command grabs mean she doesn’t really need Silent Attack to accumulate meter advantage. She prefers Luci’s moveset and ability. Kanon can Wolf Jump freely with jelly up in the corner though, which is nice.
- A pretty mixup-heavy team. Kanon’s damage isn’t the highest so he can appreciate Berserk to bring it up to par.
- Still there’s no real reason not to pick Will for Kanon instead, as SPCancel boosts his damage similarly in practicality and Will overall suits his style better: he’s more about confirms than pressure.
George
- Awkward and low damage. Reacts poorly to pressure unless George has an SP advantage.
- Kind of decent neutral and mixup.
Jessica
- High damage and gradual SP advantage combined with varied neutral and mixup game makes these two pretty overwhelming.
- Jessica’s guardbreak-oriented playstyle, including her MetaSuper, really appreciate Silent Attack.
- The opponent is probably going to get pretty staggered as both have fast and unpredictable movesets that flow into one another nicely. Kanon can handle neutral against characters that are a bit too fast or zoning-focused for Jess, such as Luci and Lambda, and Jessica more than compensates for his low solo damage.
- These two aren’t bad at escaping the common setplay that poses a massive threat in the current metagame, but can struggle with careful pressure. Bat/Rono is a nightmare for them.
Lambdadelta
- Silent Attack can make a difference to Lambda, who tends to keep up pressure of some sort for the entire match. But this team’s fragile and both want a more damaging partner.
- Guardbreak reliant.
Lucifer
- Unparalleled depth to their neutral, but damage even worse than Bat/Luci’s. You’ll be relying on resets and momentum to a pretty great extent; Luci/410 is probably the better pick for that kind of playstyle.
- This team will build up a meter advantage over time though, but since it relies on rushdown this isn’t as useful as it sounds.
- Terrible bulk and mediocre defensive options.
Ronove
- Similar to with Kan/Eva, Rono doesn’t really need Silent Attack. He actually doesn’t hit the opponent that much compared to other characters.
- CounterBoost Kanon is interesting, but he tends to get counterhits a little less often than Luci, so it’s not obvious why you should pick him over her, especially because her lack of a good reversal is mitigated by increased health and the ability to switch into Ronove, who is kind of like a walking reversal.
Rosa
- Silent Attack and Detachment have terrible synergy, as the opponent can’t switch to their partner who receives diminished SP anyway, and this team struggles with damage.
- Both would prefer a partner who can do more damage, like Will.
- Fairly solid neutral though, with a few weaknesses.
Shannon
- Similar to Kan/Jess but a bit more defensively-oriented, which Kanon honestly doesn’t appreciate.
- These two definitely have complementary movesets and can come up with answers for most opponents, but their damage is low outside of Shannon’s corner loop.
- Kan/Jess and Kan/Will both do a better job at what this team does well.
Virgilia
- Debatably better than what practice has lead us to believe, but its interchangeability with Luci/Lia makes the lack of Lucifer’s ability seem like an unnecessary disadvantage.
- The combination of their abilities obviously builds a good meter advantage, but both are a bit overkill as higher damage teams can easily threaten these two with MetaDeclarations.
- Struggles defensively.
Willard
- Kanon is one of the characters most grateful for SPCancel as it enables him to perform new and more damaging combos by restanding opponents OTG. This does a lot to improve his damage.
- Both of these characters have great neutral and together they’ll do a lot of damage and stun. Will can appreciate Silent Attack in his juggles outside of MetaWorld, and while he generally creates advantage without it, it enforces it.
- Kind of like Bat/Kan in that it’s counterplay-focused, but less so because it actually does damage. Can struggle a bit under sustained pressure, but both characters are great at escaping common setplay. Faster and more consistent, but less damaging, than Will/Eri.
- One of the best teams for counterplayers.

- The 9j.B may whiff on smaller opponents.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > A+B+C > 9j.B > 9j.C > 9j.A > 9j.B > 9j.C > 2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 2C > 641236C/236236C - A rejump combo variation of the BnB meta combo.
- Timing is very strict, and is recommended only to be used on the tallest opponents.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > A+B+C > 41236B/C > j.B > 236A > 66 > 2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 2C > 641236C/236236C - Yet another variation of the BnB meta combo.
2A > 2B > 5B > 5C > 2C > A+B+C > 9j.B > 9j.C > 236A+B - A different meta combo you can use that gives a hard knockdown.
