Battle Craze!!/Ajit/L-Side

Overview

Playstyle

L-Ajit is great if you're sick of the limit in damage or your opponent is not throwing many projectiles. CT granting him craze meter is useful, but you will need to manage that with your craze cancels in order to get the best use out of it.
Pros	Cons
*All-Rounder: L-Ajit generally has a pretty strong answer for a lot of situations and a good way to pick up off of them. Neutral: Has some of the strongest neutral in the game with good fireballs and EX fireball to shutdown other zoning attempts. Control of Craze Guage: His C-Tech can increase his Craze Gauge. High damage: Using EX moves increase damage. combining this with "Cobra Minigun" restands can let Ajit melt opponents.	Small normals: L-Ajit's normals are generally a little stubby. Reliance on Craze Gauge: Since EX moves drain the Craze Gauge there may be less opportunities to take advantage of its utility.

Statistics

Trait	"Fuel to the Fire": Ajit has access to EX moves with the use of Craze Gauge. Consuming Craze Gauge grants Ajit an 6% damage bonus for each Gauge spent. This bonus decays over time.

5LK (close)	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 40 Mid 4 - - +3 -1 Your actual light combo filler since it does more damage than 5LP.

5SK (far)	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 88 Mid 9 - - +3 -3 Decent heavy button, typically used to cancel into your command normals at the end of ground strings. Pushes Ajit a little bit forward

Crouching

2LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 36 Mid 4 - - 0 -2 Crouching version of 5LP, nearly identical but catches low-profile.

Jumping

j.5SP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 88 Overhead 7 - - - - Combo filler but in the air, probably could also be used as an air-to-air button.

j.5LK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 40 Overhead 6 - - - - Your best jump-in. Very good at cross-ups and has pretty decent range.

j.5SK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 80 Overhead 9 - - - - First hitbox extends pretty far outward so it could be used as a pretty risky air-to-air.

Specials

Lion's Sunspot 236P

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect non-EX 120 Mid 16 - - - - Dire Crumple Basic fireball, LP travels slower and SP travels faster. EX 86-29-29 (144) Mid 16 - - - - Dire Crumple Multi-hit fireball that does more damage. Beats most fireballs in the game. Due to it's multi-hit properties it has better advantage on block because it continues to hit their block as Ajit finishes the animation.

Roc Twister 214K,K,K,K, air OK Roc Twister! Roc Twister!

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LK 96,16,16,16 (144) Mid, Overhead (last hit) 13, 6 (aerial) - - - - Dire Ground Bounce (last hit) Hits twice and flips opponents out, allowing for resets. SK 96,16,16,16 (144) Mid, Overhead (last hit) 13, 6 (aerial) - - - - Dire Ground Bounce (last hit) The full 4 hit tatsu. Worse on block but does more damage and has better carry. Generally more useful as you can usually be lower than the opponent on the floor splat, allowing you to extend off it. EX 27,27,27,27,31,34 (174) Mid, Overhead (last hit) 6 - - - - Dire Ground Bounce (last hit) Goes pretty high like the light version, adds an extra 2 hits and does more overall damage. Always does every hit.

Tiger Strike 623P

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LP 128 Mid 4 - - +15 -25 Dire N/A (forces Tiger's Whip) Ajit's Dragon Punch, this version specifically is better for combos as Ajit doesn't go as high into the air as<br the heavy version. This version also doesn't have any invuln. Can be followed up by Tiger's Whip. SP 128 Mid 4 - - +15 -33 Dire N/A (forces Tiger's Whip) An actual reversal, invuln to everything except supers on frame 1. Can be followed up by Tiger's Whip. EX 150-18 (169) Mid 9 - - +46 -21 Dire Ground Bounce Also a reversal, does more damage than the other dps even without the forced Tiger's Whip. Extremely plus on hit. 623P~P Tiger's Whip 145 - 4 - - - - Dire Ground Bounce Follow-up after Tiger Strike, can't be done on guard.

Dragon's Blaze 63214P

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LP 136 Mid 16 - - +2 -3 Dire Wall Bounce Big punch, use this in block strings as it's mostly safe on block. Also low profiles. SP 152 Mid 22 - - tumble -2 Dire Wall Bounce Bigger punch, use this in combos in the corner after 6LP. Also low profiles. EX 167 Mid 16 - - tumble -3 Dire Wall Bounce Has the speed of the light version with the on hit properties of the heavy version

Cobra Gatling 421P

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LP 120 Mid 13 - - +19 -20 Dire Power Launch Cool looking rapid punches. This is the move you want to use your Dire effect on. SP 144 Mid 17 - - +19 -20 Dire Power Launch Slower, higher damaging version of the LP version. If you can combo into this you might as well since it does much more damage. EX 157 Mid 15 - - +4 -20 Dire Crumple Even cooler looking rapid punches, restands for mixups or combo extensions.

Supers

All-Out Attack

Solar Flare 236236P	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 216 Mid 9 - - tumble -25 Dire N/A Big Palm strike with startup invulnerability. Probably best as a raw punish rather than a combo ender as it's his lowest damage super.

Exodus 236236K	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 248 Mid 10 - - +24 -13 Dire N/A KoF style rush super, use this super to end juggles.

Heatstroke 214214K, air OK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 232 Mid 17 - - +24 -23 Dire N/A Air super. Highest damage out of all of his other level 1 supers but not very consistent in juggles.

All-Out EX

Exodus EX 236236KK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 320 Mid 8 - - tumble -13 Dire N/A Ajit's level 2 super. Basically the exact same as Exodus but with more damage.

All-Out Destruction

Pillar of Fire, Pillar of Soul 214214PP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 396 Mid 8 - - tumble -29 Dire N/A Ajit's level 3 super. Ajit's highest damaging combo ender, far less recovery on whiff for whatever reason.
