Under Night In-Birth/UNI2/Byakuya

“

They nest. The web will lure and consume any prey that goes near. He, for her, and her for herself, they fight. Her feelings point in one direction, to a friend defeated. She sips on blood, and mud alike, chasing a shadow. His eight legs will crawl through the night once more, carrying with him her feelings.

”

Story

He wanders with an unorthodox girl, Tsukuyomi. Byakuya's abilities enable him to cast out a myriad of blades. The power binds and rends his opponents alike. Their motivation is unknown, but it seems he fights to make Tsukuyomi's wish come true. On the Hollow Night, when many In-Births gather, they turn the town into their own "web", and hunt unsuspecting prey.

“

There's nothing to worry about... My life exists for you, sister.

Gameplay

Byakuya is primarily a "setplay"-type character with strong offense but weak defense. While the wide range of his normals are excellent for neutral and pressure, his flawed reversals means that it is very difficult for Byakuya to escape pressure once he is pushed on the defense.

Byakuya's neutral game is strongest at midrange, where he can make good use of his relatively fast, extremely long-ranged normals to keep opponents out of their comfortable ranges, which will generally be shorter than Byakuya's. His 2B and 2C have extremely long range and fast startup and hit low, forcing opponents to commit to low blocking once Byakuya is in range. Versus airborne opponents, 5B has a very tall vertical hitbox and can be used to cover multiple angles of approach with relatively low commitment. 66B/C and 236B are slightly higher-commitment pokes, but have extremely long range and are easily capable of catching opponents who are not expecting to have to block from so far away.

Byakuya suffers more at close range, where his lack of a safe 5f poke (his 2A is 6f and -3, compared to many characters who have 5f jabs that are only -1 or -2 at worst) hinders his ability to stagger pressure with jabs. Similarly, Byakuya has difficult matchups against characters who are able to stuff his approaches from further away than his optimal midrange pokes, such as Gordeau, Vatista, Hilda, Yuzuriha, etc. Due to his lack of a real projectile and otherwise slow dash speed, he has a hard time avoiding projectiles, and being forced to block them will significantly hinder or entirely negate his attempts to close space. His 214X~X moves allow him to move past some moves, but they are extremely high commitment mobility tools that can be stuffed on reaction, so his best bet is typically to stagger dash in a little bit at a time and block often.

On pressure, Byakuya actually has no safe normals (the safest being blocked 2A or 2A whiff cancel off a blocked 5C move, both of which are still -3) but he is able to make up for this with the fact that his normals can all be canceled extremely late, meaning that it will be very difficult for the opponent to tell when his moves are actually unsafe and when he is just delaying them for a frametrap. As such, Byakuya can easily train opponents to respect his pressure, allowing him to safely set up 214X webs for mixup and pressure (which can otherwise be disrespected by mashing) or simply do things that would otherwise be hugely unsafe (such as 5C dash up throw). Because his normals are all unsafe, it is easy for opponents to mash reversals through them; however, Byakuya's huge range often pushes him far back enough that most reversals whiff, meaning the Byakuya player needs to have a good sense of the opponent's reversal options and adjust his pressure accordingly. Once Byakuya confirms a hit, his combos almost always deal high damage, build lots of meter and GRD, have good carry and enable side switching if necessary, so he keeps momentum extremely well. Again, some characters deal with web oki setups more effectively than others, so a sense of the matchup is necessary to do well.

On defense, Byakuya has serviceable but flawed metered reversals, his EX "How Shall I Cook You?" which can be jumped over and loses to throws and unblockable attacks, and his Infinite Worth "Become A Part of Me", which can also be jumped over. However, thanks to the huge range and relatively fast startup on his B moves, he is often able to wait out pressure until the opponent pushes himself too far out, and poke out of pressure when the opponent is at frame disadvantage and cannot reach him with any move that would normally be fast enough to beat a B poke. As such, green shield's pushback and blockstun reduction are extremely useful for Byakuya, especially since he builds meter and GRD very quickly and thus typically has a lot of meter to spare.

From Sketched & ThatGuy's Primer

Strengths

Weaknesses

Great Pressure: Large cancel windows on buttons that are fairly big, can make pressure scary to mash. Has a strong throw game that allows for Byakuya to bait a lot of option selects and punish for it. Webs do big chip damage and let Byakuya combo off his throw. Remarkable Neutral Options: Normals are very long-range for their speed; very few characters can contest him at midrange. 66B is a fast low that can catch people off guard trying to back away in neutral. Very Strong Corner Game: Has good corner carry and easy sideswaps. Once in the corner he has very good oki and mixup opportunities. Good CS and Metered Tools: Chain Shift allows for extended pressure and strong mix-ups. 236C being invincible, horizontal, and very fast allows Byakuya to interrupt many sequences other characters cannot. Good For Beginners: Easy to learn and a good character to learn the game with. Forces you to properly learn UNI's pressure game, and rewards good fundamentals.

Limited Defense Without Meter: No meterless reversal or 5 frame normal, making it hard to get out of some pressure. Requires Strong Match-Up Knowledge: Struggles to get in against characters with good projectiles or better range, certain matchups require lots of patience. Unreliable Reversal: 236C (only metered reversal) can be finicky and miss a lot of the time. Difficulty Contesting The Air: 3C, while a strong anti-air that can be converted into a full combo, has slow startup and relatively late head invul frames. Additionally, his air normals aren't good at challenging horizontally, meaning he can have difficulties against jumps in general. Exploitable Pressure Tools: No plus EX moves means no guaranteed way to extend pressure after committing to specials. Can be easily punished for fake pressure such as 236a~4a on block. Command grab is slow (33 frames for A, 35 frames for B).

Unique Trait	Several moves set web traps on the screen that will snare an opponent that touches them. Webs can be destroyed by special moves or B/C normals, but doing so will drain grd from the oppponent. Most projectiles will not destroy webs. It's worth noting that after coming in contact with a web, it does not connect immediately. "Meaty" webs effectively have 14 frame startup for this reason. Byakuya getting hit or either player teching a throw will clear all existing webs. Causing Byakuya to block will not, however.
Vorpal Trait	Webs give slightly more GRD on hit. Webs give slightly more grd and deal slightly more chip damage on air block. After performing 214XXB, Byakuya can perform a second web before he hits the ground.

Attribute	Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile
Startup	Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash.
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled.
Overall	Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move. ±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better).
Invul	The frames where this move cannot be hit by an attribute. Full = Fully invincible Strike = Strike invincible Throw = Throw invincible Head = Head invincible Foot = Foot invincible Dive = Dive invincible Projectile = Projectile invincible

Universal reversal that blows the opponent back on hit.

• Requires at least 100 meter and puts you in Veil Off state which grants 20% more damage, but drains your meter at a slow rate.
• Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health).
• If your opponent has Vorpal state and is hit with Veil Off outside of a combo, they will lose Vorpal.

Cancels an action and launches the opponent high into the air on hit.

• CVO cancel is treated the same as EX cancel; you can only CVO when you can EX and the opponent is in hit/blockstun.
  • Including in the air.
• Requires at least 100 meter and consumes Vorpal state and drains meter at a fast rate.
• Has a lot of hitstun, making it easy to combo from.
• Allows for an additional bounce in the combo if two have been used so far, without hitting the combo bounce limit.
• Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth.
• Used mostly as a way to tack on extra damage, or to reliably close out the round.

Byakuya becomes surrounded by a pillar of light which goes into a cinematic on hit.

• Must have less than 30% health (orange health) to use.
• After the cinematic, characters will be moved to the middle of the stage, regardless of where they were positioned before.
• Due to the cost, it is usually not recommended to use this move unless it will kill the opponent.
