Jingi Storm: The Arcade/Shuperi

Shuperi
Full name	Shuperi Innoway
Health	305
Play-style	Tricky
Weight	Middleweight (5/12)

Introduction

Shuperi is... unique, to say the least. It's hard to really call him anything but a joke character, as many of his attacks are exceeding strange or silly, seemingly crafted with the sole purpose of messing with your opponent. His moves tend to be on the slower side, and also he has surprisingly low health and weight for how large he is. He's undoubtedly one of the weaker characters in the game, but that isn't to say that he's unplayable.

He has access to a fairly quick normal hit launcher, meaning he can convert well off of any guard break, and has an incredibly consistent combo game that can be easily modified to bait atemis. His strengths may not necessarily be unique to him, but they're good strengths to have regardless, and they compliment the one true focus of his gameplan: Annoying the hell out of your opponent. What Shuperi does better than anyone else is get on people's nerves. Attacks like his 44P and 236K stance force foes to think carefully about how they approach him, and his j. 2K serves as a uniquely evasive tool which can get cheap knockdowns in many a situation.

Shuperi excels much more at a mental game than a physical one, and though he undeniably has a lower skill ceiling than most he is very capable of stealing wins in the hands of a competent player.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Weird: Shuperi has a number of strange animations and offputting attacks as well as solid high-low mix, making him difficult to defend against if you're unfamiliar with the character. Excellent Super: Shuperi's super is perhaps his best gimmick, offering solid damage while being widely applicable and very difficult to avoid consistently. Low-Execution: Shuperi has a very low skill floor with exceedingly simple yet effective combo routes, making him an excellent and consistent choice for newcomers.

Slow: Most of Shuperi's attacks, while high in range, are quite sluggish and easy to interrupt. Dance with Caution: Shuperi has a number of strings and stances that leave him highly unsafe on block and even on hit in some situations, so be sure you're aware of what exactly your attacks do when you commit to them. Master of None: Although he does a bunch of things pretty well, Shuperi isn't exactly the best at any particular thing. Usually his gimmicks will be enough to carry him to victory, but against highly competent opponents he's often outclassed.

Lastly, if the ball misses it will explode and create an AOE on its second bounce. This can often catch your opponent's sidesteps, and makes the attack quite difficult to avoid consistently. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block P+K+G P+K+G - - - - - - - - Second ball, basically always good to use this. Slightly longer recovery than the first ball, since Shuperi stumbles a bit when he throws it.
