Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale/Sesshomaru

Sesshomaru (殺生丸)

Introduction

Are you challenging me? Pathetic, stop it.
Character Voice: Ken Narita

Sesshomaru, the half-brother of Inuyasha, is an oddball character character to put it lightly. He doesn't cater well to one specific play-style, and has various odd tools for different purposes, but is most regularly played as a zoner. Sesshomaru is largely defined by two things; his great 2SP special, which is one of the best dedicated meterless anti-airs in the game and the crux of his zoning gameplan, and his not-so-great inability to do meaningful damage against crouchers because 5SP cannot hit crouching opponents...

While not a completely incompetent character, Sessho can take an excessive amount of patience and effort to find results with, but is definitely a good pick for a player who likes to set the pace of the match themselves and play strategically.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Decently long ranged pokes in 2W, 5W and 5S Can do flashy, good damage and high corner carry combos off of hits on standing opponents with 5SP 2SP is a huge and relatively quick anti-air, and largely Sessho's most important move Aside from combos, 5SP is good for chip damage and attempting to approach if you need to 66SP / Super is fantastic at punishing things, especially projectiles, from midscreen due to its very fast start-up and high damage/range

5SP whiffs on crouchers (including the 5SP ender from his auto-combos), severely hindering Sessho's damage and corner carry on crouchers 4SP, while large, can fail to cover Sessho from certain angles and large disjointed attacks, and is very slow which makes it inadequate for a reversal 66SP / Super physically cannot hit opponents in the corner, due to his transformation's hitbox being locked to midscreen Can get overwhelmed and backed into the corner easily due to 2SP having semi slow recovery and not having a projectile
