|
Introduction
A 102 year old Chinese hermit, and former master of both Jin and Salamander. He lives quietly atop a mountain, but comes down once in a while to obtain his favorite drink: shōchū. He enters the tournament to be able to buy as much as he wants with the prize money.
Gameplay
Hoi is a very tricky fighter, being quite skilled at aerial combat, with several ways to change his jump arc and crossup opponents. Having access to a wall jump makes him especially hard to pin down.
Strengths |
Weaknesses
|
- Excellent aerials: jH/jM makes Hoi fall quickly, allowing for an easy mix or a throw. jM also has a built in crossup hit at the end. jL carries Hoi across the entire screen and can hit multiple times.
- Both of Hoi's specials destroy projectiles, and always knock down opponents on hit, letting Hoi easily set up a crossup situation. 623H is also the only move in the game completely invincible during it's startup.
- Can use 5L to duck under most projectiles, giving you lots of style points.
|
- Short range overall, even with a weapon, only his H attacks get any benefit.

Goes low to the ground and can thus avoid several attacks if you have good timing, most notably Jin, Bobby, and Zen's projectiles.

Has two hits, the second hit goes behind Hoi, making it a great tool for crossups, but you'll have to time it well, especially during a forward jump, as Hoi lands too quickly for the second hit to come out unless you delay the jump mid.

If you hit/get blocked during a neutral jump, Hoi will continue falling like a regular jump attack, this version is great for a quick overhead attack. But if you hit/get blocked during a forward/backward jump, Hoi will gain a big speed boost and attack again soon after, potentially hitting more than once while flying across the stage. Be careful using the forward/backward jump version while near the corner though.

Hoi can do jumping attacks right after the throw animation ends, allowing him to land sooner/later and at different parts of the stage. If you're near the corner, Hoi can walljump by tapping forwards during a backward jump or a throw if you haven't attacked yet, you can then perform jump attacks afterwards. The frame data shown is if you input the attack button as early as possible, but it can vary depending on when you do it.
