Acceleration of Suguri 2/Kae

Introduction

Kae's lost the crazy eyes but has retained the crazy in your face playstyle. Unfortunately her reliance on high heat is too much of a liability versus too many characters; there are some terrible terrible matchup numbers here. A low heat keep-away approach is viable in certain match-ups, but severely lowers her damage output in favor of consistency.

Normal Moves

• Kae is in Blazing when she has 200% heat or above.
• All moves with a ★ can only be done in Blazing Mode.
• Blazing lasts 16 seconds if entered via SH, 8 seconds if entered through a dash.

Shupa!

• WA [Beam]
  • Damage: 120×n
  • Ammo Usage: 10%×5
  • Kae shoots five semicircle-shaped projectile waves out. Trajectory can be controlled with the directional keys.

Shupapapa!

• Dash + WA [Beam]
  • Damage: 50×n
  • Ammo Usage: 5%×9
  • Kae shoots ~a dozen smaller semicircle-shaped projectile waves out. Trades damage for mobility and consistency compared to standard WA.

WB

Kakiin!

• WB [Ballistic]
  • Damage: 40×n
  • Ammo Usage: 10%×6

• Hold WB [Ballistic]
  • Damage: 40xn
  • Ammo Usage: 5%×12
  • Kae throws out ~a dozen kunai in a half-circle fan formation. Most effective method of controlling space, but has a slight after-cast delay.

  • Damage: 0
  • Ammo Usage: 50%
  • Sets up a fire field that lasts about 8 seconds. Sets enemy on fire (200% Heat) if they touch it.

  • A long distance melee charge. Useful for approaching but vulnerable to counter-shields.

Hyper B: Kakyuiin!

• Dash + Hyper [Ballistic]
  • Damage: 40×n

Strategies

vs Suguri:

vs Saki:

Vs Iru:

Vs Nanako:

Vs Kae:

Vs Kyoko: Awful. Kae struggles to deal with Kyoko's pylons, and Kyoko's meter gain is high enough to shut down any surprise melee approaches. Heavy utilization of Kae's ability to aim where Kae's "Gyuun!" melee throws Kyoko (throw her away from the pylons) is essential to winning.

Vs Hime:

Vs Sora:

Vs Alte:

Vs Tsih:

Vs Mira: An insufferable stalemate where neither player can hit the other safely. Play for the time-out and try not to die.

Vs Sham:

Vs Nath:

Vs Star Breaker:

Vs Sumika:
