Shizuo Heiwajima

Introduction

Originally from the light novel Durarara!! Shizuo Heiwajima is the notorious bodyguard for debt collector, Tom Tanaka. Armed with a short fuse, incredible strength, and barbaric fighting skills(namely through the use of unorthodox weapons i.e vending machines, road signs, etc), Shizuo is acclaimed as the strongest fighter in the Ikebukuro district. Shizuo is surprisingly not a fan of violence, but when provoked, his body will instinctively resort to fighting. Underneath his rough exterior, Shizuo worries about his incredible power which stems from childhood experiences where people feared him for it, leading him to be alienated or mistakenly hurting those he cared for. Shizuo is often seen chasing his rival, Izaya Orihara, as they both share an unnaturally strong disdain for one another. This rivalry often ends with Izaya running away while Shizuo chases screaming the infamous “IZAYA!” while pursuing.

Gameplay

While Shizuo is regarded as one of the weakest characters in the game, he is more than capable of turning the tides with his very straightforward approach i.e getting as much damage off of his BnB into his 41236B+C Climax Art. His combos are very simplistic yet very damaging if he has the meter. Shizuo has good normals to poke with, start combos with, or punish an unguarded assist call. He also has good aerials, with j.B being a really strong air to air with good range and j.C being a good crossup attack. Shizuo has a full screen projectile with various trajectories to cover the opposing approach. Unfortunately, Shizuo’s answer to okizeme pressure is very weak. His 2A+B is incredibly risky to use as it can be blocked even if properly countered. If whiffed, Shizuo is open to be attacked, as it cannot be canceled into anything. His command grab is average at best, so it relies on the ingenuity and cleverness of the player. It can be comboed into, however, it tosses the enemy away from Shizuo, forcing him to chase. Overall, he’s a fun character but has his work cut out for him in a lot of the matchups.

Pros

  • Has very simple BnBs that lead to very strong damage.
  • Has many normals with good range.
  • Untechable command grab can catch unsuspecting opponents off guard.

Cons

  • Has a very weak 2A+B as a reversal and is overall weak to okizeme.
  • Is very underwhelming without at least 2 bars of meter.
  • Most matchups are against his favor.

Recommended Assists

Izaya - 5S easily sets up Shizuo for getting easy Climax Art enders. Counter also intimidates players into pushing buttons, which can open command grab pressure.

Enju - Strong combo potential. Can easily be confirmed into his main damaging combo.

Kojou - 5S in neutral can help cover Shizuo's approach. 6S is really strong. The duration of it allows for a Shizuo to fit in many extra attacks before ending with Climax Art. Another assist that easily sets up him.

Potentials

Universal Potential: Increases damage dealt by 10% for 20 seconds when health falls under 30%. If behind in rounds won, increases damage dealt by 20% instead.

Character Potential: Be hit with attacks 20 times to decrease damage received by 10% for 10 seconds.

Attacks with an iron pipe, jump cancellable and air unblockable. Longer range than 5C, so it’s better it checking the opponent but it has no hitbox above it. Since it’s air unblockable, he can force his opponent to air block j.A > j.C or an assist and then 5B.

700 11 2 27 -12 SC, EX, ISC, TCC, CAC L -

Sweeps with a road sign, hits low, is air unblockable, and knocks down. Has very long range so it’s great for checking an opponent trying to run in however, it moves his upper hurtbox forward, making him susceptible to jump ins.

300 8 3 X+2 Varies JC, SC, EX HA -

Downward angled kick, jump cancellable. Good for jump ins, but not as effective as a rising air-to-air.

500 11 3 X+3 Varies JC, SC, EX HA -

Horizontal swing with an iron pipe, jump cancellable. Horizontal hitbox makes it great for neutral or back jumps to check the opponent. On the other hand, it has a weak vertical hitbox.

Rushing attack with a car door.

  • Great for anti-airing, beating pokes and getting out of the corner.
  • Big vertical hitbox, so he can delay after a 5C and still combo into 5A+B.
  • Hits 4 times, and the hitstun/untechable time is very long. Easy to combo into assists.
  • The armor is only on the car door itself. So it has no lower body armor.

Counter. Taunts the opponent and if they hit him with a melee attack, he retaliates with an uppercut.

  • Does not lock the opponent in animation, so it can be safe jumped or activated by fast attacks and be blocked.
  • However, it has fast startup and the uppercut itself is invulnerable.
  • As such, it’s better suited as a way to get out of pressure or to beat impact skills, rather than as an anti air or reversal.
  • Cannot be cancelled in anyway on whiff.

Hop kick in followed by a launching hit with a road sign

  • The kick is safe on block by itself, but the follow up will always make you jump cancel. On block, you won’t be able to do anything until you land.
  • Hit confirming is possible, but hard. However, the armor makes it great for beating out attacks.
