Fate Unlimited Codes/Shirou

Gameplay

Shirou has a range of tools to function either for zoning or for rushdown. His command dash can be used to extend pressure (6C > 214A > 5A is gapless) helps overcome pushblock giving him relative safety to loop his basic pressure string. Shirou suffers primarily from his split focus since he's not a great zoner, doesn't get huge damage up close and once the opponent knows his restrictions his pressure can be lacking

Strengths

Weaknesses

Less difficult compared to the majority of the roster Can apply gapless pressure Fast recovery on a lot of his moves, making his pressure relatively safe Throw can lead to a combo. However, the scaling is so bad that you won't get much damage from it j.C is a projectile which ignores Reflect Guard. It is one of the best jump attacks that can be used to initiate Has decent oki with 421A Can unscale using either rc or ac Excellent Zoning and can out zone some other zoners Can use 300% activation to regain health quickly. Sometimes can even win by timeout

Has to jump A LOT to deal damage Doesn't have much meter control Doesn't have HKD ender without using Super Weak to pushblock, especially on his 2B and 6C

Story & Profile

The Hero of Justice
Shirou Emiya (衛宮 士郎) is a teenager with short auburn hair and golden-brown coloured eyes. He is often seen wearing his casual clothing, consisting of a blue and white long sleeve baseball jersey T-shirt and a blue slim straight jeans. Due to the trauma he suffered during the great fire, Shirou has a constant emptiness in his personality and suffers from tremendous survivor's guilt. He feels that, as the only survivor, it is unfair to the deceased to prioritize his own needs before those of others. He has a distorted sense of values where he only finds self-worth from helping people without any compensation, feeling that the very act “helping people” is its own reward. He believes it is highly unfair that some people survive and others do not. When it comes down to receiving an injury or even giving up his life to help someone, he will do it without a second thought.

Combos (WIP)

A combo is consisted of Opener > Combo > Ender/Extender

Shirou's combo is extreamely simple

step 1: juggle with either 214C or 2C

step 2: hit with j.C

everything else such as 2B, 5B, 5C are simply to help him do the above steps

Opener: Opener is simply a way to make the opponent vulnerable to the Combo. In this case, the Knee combo

*Confirmed hit > 5B > 6C > Combo > Ender
*Throw > Combo > Ender

Knee Combo: The Knee combo got its name from how Shirou keeps yelling "KNEE!" every time he does it

It always starts with 214C, as it offers great damage and optimal scale

There're a few adjustments based to the weight of the opponent

Standard Knee Combo
*Opener > 214C > 214C > j.C > 2C > j.C > 2C > j.C > {2B} > 5C > 2C > 214C > j.C > 5B > 2C > {5C} > Ender

Enders:

*623A: highest damage meterless, solid oki
*421A: deals no damage on its own, can be used against certain characters's wake-up options and to set-up 236236B unblockeables.
*236236A: Metered ender, a follow-up combo can be done on certain scenarios

Knee combo on Berserker.

Corner

Unblockable (Triple Crane Wings set up) | 2500DMG or 2691 damage with 6C ender

This pressure works by landing any normal hit on block

confirmed block > 5B > 5C > {421A > activate > 6C} > 236236B

The timing during {421A > activate > 6C} is specific, the trick is to look at the "time stop" flash from activation, if the 421A arrow is perfectly canceled, you have to delay 6C slightly, but if it's a little late, then you can 6C as fast as you can
