Overview

TCHKARIYO

Normal Moves

Standing

5A

5A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1000 Ground, any 9 3 15 -2 - - Whiffs against crouchers, so really only useful for stuffing opponent's 6Ds or against someone blocking in the air.

5B

5B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1200-2000 - 10 2(14)4 24 -7 - - 2-Hit move, with the 1st hit launching on hit and 2nd hit knocking the opponent down on hit or bouncing them on Counter-hit. Pretty strong, although it doesnt have a lot of range and has a lot of recovery on whiff so it's easy to pushblock. 5B(1) is your main starter for the BNB.

2A

2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 800 Low 7 2 13 -3 - - Kuon's fastest normal. Hits Low. Can chain into itself multiple times, but each hit scales the following combo pretty badly.

2B

2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1800 - 9 2 22 -3 - - Sweeps on hit and can combo into 236A/236AB. 2A > delay 2B is your basic frametrap.

6A

6A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1600 - 11 4 20 -8 - - Moves Kuon forward, letting him connect into 5B(1).

Jumping

j5A

jA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1200 - 9 3 17 - - - Fast startup makes it a decent air-to-air. Mostly just combo filler though.

j5B

jB	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1800 - 12 2 19 -3 - - Great crossup and your main jump-in. Can be cancelled into C moves, j.623x or Bridecancelled(>direction+D) on hit/block. j.B(block) > 6D (empty Bridecancel) land Throw/2A can be a decent mixup to enforce every once in a while.

j6B

j6B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1600-2000 - 12 4(18)4 21 - - - A 2-hit air move that knocks down on hit, making it the perfect meterless ender. Will connect after both j.A and j.B. Goes up a bit on the 1st hit, making it a good airstall.

Dashing

DA

DA	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1800 - 9 3 23 - - - Mostly combo filler or for throwing out before a DC.

DB

DB	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 2800 - 13 4 26 - - - Projectile invuln lasts until the attack hits. Bounces on hit. Unsafe on block, so be careful flying in with this.

DB

DC	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain - - - - - - - - Michael sticks out her sword and hits after a short delay. Bounces on hit. The pressure reset. Can be jump cancelled immediately after using. If the opponent tries to stuff it, space a DC outside of their range, then jump cancel into projectiles.

Special Moves

DB

236A/B/AB Heaven Thrust Heaven Thrust

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain - - - - - - - - 236A is a 2-hit Mistfiner-like slash. Comes out fast and is a decent ground check for opponent trying to dash through 5C. 236B gains more startup but also more range and slashes 1 more time. On block, keep your opponent honest with a 236A. 236AB has faster startup than 236A and slashes 8 times. 2B > 236AB > 236AB works in the corner. All of the slashes can whiff against crouching opponents, so be careful spacing it.

DB

623A/B/AB (Air OK) Aerial Judge Aerial Judge

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain - - - - - - - - Vapor Thrust! Air unblockable DP that is also your main combo ender in the air aside from j.6B. 623A has startup invuln 623B only has projectile invulnerability but adds a followup hit and is air-unblockable 623AB has startup invuln and bounces them into the ground with decent advantage on hit, making this the ideal combo ender unless saving for a 3 bar Super.

DB

214A/B/AB Crest Bash Crest Bash

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain - - - - - - - - Parry. Only catches Mids and Highs, can also erase projectiles but the timing is strict. Overall pretty useless, especially if you're only starting out. 214A has fast startup but lasts a short time 214B has slower startup but lasts longer 214AB has 1f startup and lasts even longer. Launches them on hit for a short followup of choice.

Bride Moves

5C

5C/j.C/j.2C

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain Normal 400*3/400*4/400*5 - 19 - 51 -5/-1/+2 10% - Fires light projectiles. Can be held to increase the amount and speed of the projectiles, also makes them more spread out. Dash/jump/special/super cancellable e.g. 5C jc j.C to fire the projectiles twice. Has a tendency to go through projectiles in fireball wars due to the spread. j.2C fires the projectiles at 45 degrees. Useful against AA. Charged 900*5/900*6/900*7 - 34 0 66 -3/-1/+1 - -

2C

2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 1000*3/1200*3/1400*3 - 14·19·24 14 54 -3 20% - Fires a wave of light going upwards. Can anti-air on it's own or start the BNB if you're not at 5C range. Lots of projectile density so can beat some fireballs.

6C

6C/j.6C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain 800*3/800*4/800*5 - 29 79 60 +7/+10/+10 14% - Fires a ball of light that stays on the screen for a little while. Can be used on the opponent's wakeup.

DB

236C (Air OK) Love Saber Love Saber	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain - - - - - - 30% - Michael appears and fires 3 swords forward. Slams the opponent in the corner for a nice bit of damage. Slow startup makes this move awkward to use other than in fireball wars.

DB

623C (Air OK) Love Lighting Love Lighting	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain - - - - - - 25% - A pillar homes in on the opponent's position and fires after a slight delay. Launches on hit, but not on OTG. Can be easily dodged by a moving opponent, but still worth throwing out every once in a while for the lockdown it provides.

DB

214C (Air OK) Love Flash Love Flash	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Block Bride Cost Meter Gain - - - - - - 30% - Michael appears and absorbs any incoming projectile. Has long recovery. Overall useless.
