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.
