Introduction

Assassin is a defensive character, functioning like Guilty Gear's Baiken with guard cancel parries (646C) as his central mechanic. Assassin's biggest strength is the range of his normals which are mostly fast and keep people at a healthy midrange. Assassin has a high execution barrier to getting respectable damage.
