#UNI2_KU

Story

In the story of the Night, Kuon stands as the root of all evil.
He is a Re-Birth--said to be the strongest form of existence.
Kuon has lived for 500 years, wielding the inexhaustible power of the Night; now, he aims to bring an end to the world.
Long ago, Kuon and his sister Linne were charged with protecting the Power of Sealing.
However, the immense power eventually consumed Kuon, and he lost sight of himself.
Now he desires further power--which he can attain by seizing the other half of the Power of Sealing possessed by his sister.
Kuon's arch-nemesis fled beyond the Night. By taking Linne's power and breaking the wall of the Night, Kuon hopes to reach him.

The resulting destruction of the world is merely the means to that end.

“

My guests will start arriving here at the abyss shortly... to become the stakes with which I bore through the wall of the Night. I must defeat every last one of them.

”

Gameplay

Kuon has a zoner's toolkit and a unique flight ability that allows him to control his opponents anywhere on the screen. He has long-range specials to keep away or fight at range, but also has tools to close the gap when Kuon's turn arrives.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Airgame: Heavenly Law, its followups, and other strong aerial attacks and projectiles make Kuon difficult to contest midair. Projectiles: Kuon has several projectiles useful for zoning, counterzoning, and area denial, making him a very adaptable character in neutral. Mobility: Kuon's run is great at covering long distances, on top of his access to several teleports, his increased flight speed in vorpal, and many advancing attacks. Pressure: On top of being useful in neutral, Heavenly Law can be used to quickly reset pressure, or run semi-ambiguous high/low/throw mixups, while dealing chip damage with most of your normals on block. 214X also serves as an excellent corner oki tool that gives him reversal-safe setups.

GRD expenditure: Heavenly Law, being a Force Function, drains Kuon's GRD gauge for its entire duration so long as he isn't moving towards the opponent, with the activation alone taking a large chunk of it. This forces Kuon to forfeit Vorpal in a lot of situations, or play around gaining GRD and use the move less. Rebeats: Kuon's rebeats are more disadvantegous than most other characters, forcing him to resort to riskier options to reset pressure, or use moves that cost large amounts of resources, with Heavenly Law in particular being both. Abare: Kuon only has access to 6 frame abare and slower reversals, making him less efficient in close range scrambles.

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).

Increasable advancing slash that's great for pressure and hitconfirms.

• Moves Kuon forward enough to help stay close for combos or offense.
• One of Kuon's best starters, and a damaging extender mid-combo.
• Hits opponents OTG after moves like 3C or 236X~X
• -3 if followed with a whiffed 2A, which is Kuon's least minus rebeat option.

• Does not change grounded hitstun or blockstun, so it's not more adventageous on rebeat.
• Increases distance travelled compared to non-increased version.
• Increases damage but lowers proration, so its use as a combo tool is more specific.

Long range and relatively fast low poke, Kuon's main low attack.

• Primary mixup tool, but preferable over 3C due to its safety.
• Can be used to poke, but will often be avoided by jumps or low crush moves.
• Highly active, but not enough to be plus as a meaty.
• Otherwise good as string filler, and useful in some juggles.

Advancing launching slash with good vertical reach. Very important tool for anti-airing and combos.

• Consistently leads to combos using 22A when anti-airing, but has more optimal routes available on counterhit.
• Launches the opponent high, which plays an important role in many routes.
• Its forward movement makes it better at hitconfirming, but can actually cause a whiff when anti airing opponents above Kuon.
• Is actually one of Kuon's best starters due to its followup options

Fastest jumping attack. Great for offense in conjunction with Heavenly Law.

• Flight jA is Kuon's fastest overhead option at 25 frames if done perfectly. While it's not very hard to block, it's unthrowable, beats lows, and is +6~8 on block, serving as a very effecive pressure reset.
• As a light jump normal, it's weak to shield, but done from flight it has two hits, making it safer if only one hit is shielded, and it can also be mixed up with land > throw to dissuade shielding.
• Can also be used for more traditional purposes, as a short range air-to-air, or for reverse beat overhead pressure.

Very large air normal with a crossup hitbox. Also one of the most damaging air normals Kuon has.

• Primary combo filler with a healthy amount of hitstun. Great for converting from air-to-airs into grounded combos.
• Great normal during Assault and low Flight, where it's plus unless both hits are shielded, and even then, Kuon is safe.
• Its large hitbox makes it preferable as a jumpin, where it can be cancelled into Flight for diverse pressure options.

Advancing downwards slash. Sends the opponent dowards on air hit.

• While not good on block, it's advancing, meaning it can be useful for pressure.

Followup to 6B, not available from other normals. Launches the opponent with a really long untech time.

• Central combo tool, and often cancelled directly into 4C for a knockdown.
• Can actually go into slower moves like 6C and 214B for unique combo routes.
• Like 6B, advances (with the same blockstun), so it can be used in pressure strings to keep close to the opponent.
• Has a longer cancel window from 6B than other moves, so it works as a frametrap normal.

Horizontal attack that launches the opponent to the other side of the screen for a wallbounce, making it a very important combo tool.

• The fullscreen launch can usually be followed up with 623B midscreen, giving Kuon his good corner carry.
• The untech time on the wallbounce is long enough to allow for a variety moves to connect in the corner, allowing for stronger routes.
• Despite its looks, this move reaches shockingly low, and is actually Kuon's most adventageous jump normal most of the time, and often + on shield.

A downwards slam with Kuon's swords that knocks down opponents. Very large hitbox.

• Key component in getting knockdowns on airborne opponents.
• Has the same blockstun as 5C, so it can be used to rebeat with 2A, which is easier as 4C has no forward movement.

3C is a very long range slide attack that can close gaps very quickly and convert into combos no matter how it hits.

• Very active, to the point that a spaced slide can be not only safe, but plus on block.
• Only cancelable to specials on hit, but if spaced well, it can link to other attacks.
• Cancels to EXS and Chain Shift on block, making it a good tool to get in close and reset pressure gaplessly.
• Part of Kuon's most common ender sequence, cancelled into 236A~X for a knockdown.
• One of the only moves in Kuon's aresenal that DOES NOT deal chip damage.

A teleport that tracks the opponent and appears a set distance behind them, except in the corner, where Kuon stays in front. Only performable during a dash.

• Has very long recovery, making it very rare for the opponent to not retaliate upon seeing this.
• Due to Kuon's restricted midscreen setplay options, it's not possible to set up any efficient crossups using this.
• Useful mainly to get to the opponent's location when they're far away and knocked down, but it is very rarely better than running in.
• A message in-game shows that 66A+B has invul, however it seems to have very little of it, and not early in its duration.
• Can be chainshifted around 8 frames before the end of its recovery. The only usage for this is getting plus frames in specific knockdown situations.

Kuon spins on one leg and performs two advancing hits. Both hits are special cancelable on hit or block.

• The first hit, for some reason, has an incredible amount of untech time, which makes it a central combo tool for juggles.
• Cancelling the first hit with Heavenly Law is Kuon's only relaible way to be plus upon flight activation due to its similarily high blockstun.
• Lacks the range of many other dash attacks, making it less useful as a neutral tool.
• The second hit is a lot weaker than the first, but can still be used in certain combos to go into 22X, or to confirm the move hitting from neutral.

Relatively slow and REALLY obvious overhead, but goes airborne and combos for free to compensate.

• Since Kuon has several other overheads that are less obvious and at least plus while still comboing, this one is rarely used for mixups.
• Special cancelable after landing, even on block.
• Knocks the opponent down, allowing for links afterwards. This also makes it your best knockdown for 214X setplay.
• Kuon is lifted off the ground for the move, beating lows and throws, but granted, he has safer options for that purpose.

Heavenly Law

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Property	Cost	Attribute
-	-	-	-	-	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Overall	Advantage	Invul
17	-	-	-	-	-

Kuon's central mechanic, defining both his neutral and offense. Heavenly Law (also known as Float or Flight) is a float that drains GRD to put Kuon airborne where he can move in all 8 directions, and changes his move list until the move ends, rendering him unable to block. Performing any attack ends the move, and it cannot be done again until Kuon lands.

• Performable both on the ground or midair, and cancelable into from normals both airborne or grounded. This includes cancels from aerial assault normals, but not gounded assault ones.
• The direction input during B+C changes what direction the flight initiates towards.
• Initially costs around 2 block of GRD, and drains more as long as Kuon isn't approaching the opponent.
• All of Kuon's air normals gain a second hit if cancelled into from flight. He loses access to j6C.
• 6B+C triggers a falling, multi-hitting version of j236X, with no followup moves but good combo opportunities.
• 4B+C has Kuon throwing a stronger version of 214X from midair downwards before teleporting into the middle of the wheel. This is always plus.
• 2B+C is a multihit version of j623A with roughly the same frame data and followup options.
• D cancels the flight and gives Kuon access to his air attacks, but not assault. Is affected by any directions input during cancel.

After a noticeably longer startup, Kuon teleports above the opponent and enters flight. Takes a very long time for Kuon to become actionable.

• Mostly rare to see due to being very easily countered on reaction with anti airs
• The side it puts Kuon on is ambiguous and easily changed with slight movement, which can especially be confusing in the corner.

• 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.

Followup to the meterless versions of 236X: Kuon calls down a pillar identical to 22X, but with a hard knockdown. The beam tracks if 236X hit or was blocked, and appears at a set distance depending on version used if it whiffed.

• Cancelled from 236A, this is Kuon's most common meterless combo ender. Good knockdown and damage, but no setplay without meter.
• From 236B, this can make approaching Kuon from long distances harder, due to it countering preemptive jump into assault at some distances, potentially with a combo.
• Safe pressure on block for both versions, serving as both a gapless pressure ender and a frametrap.

Fullscreen tracking teleport with invincibility, no meterless combos afterwards and a sideswitch.

• This move is VERY slow for a reversal, outdone at close range by [2]8X.
• Tracks the opponent's horizontal position on the entire stage, so it's useful for anti zoning and whiff punishing.
• Weirdly difficult to combo into, and can't consistently be followed up with Infinite Worth, so despite its damage, it's rarely used in combos.

Kuon teleports to the ground below him and performs a slide with the same animation as 3C. Sadly not nearly as good as 3C and mainly used to condition opponents with meter so Kuon can use j623B.

• Not special or FF cancelable, even on hit.
• Has significantly worse frame data than 3C, making meter a necessity for it to be safe.
• Only gives a meterless combo on a precisely spaced counterhit.
• Kuon can actually be hit at ground level during the teleport animation, making highly active moves very good at beating j623A.

After a noticably longer pause, Kuon teleports a short distance towards the opponent to a set height above ground and hits them with an overhead similar to 66C.

• Between this and j623A, there is something of a mixup, but far from unreactable.
• Unlike j623A, this can be special-and-flight cancelled on block, making it significantly safer.
• The knockdown results in damaging, meterless combos with good corner carry without meter.
• Can be used in combos, but is more often seen as a misinput of land->623B

Identical move to 623C, just initiated from midair.

• Has a slightly longer startup at 26 frames, making it more situational
• Still invincible, letting you juke long range anti-air options from characters like Merkava.
