Introduction

Ira Gamagoori (蟇郡 苛)

One of the student council's Elite Four. He is Satsuki Kiryūin's loyal, massive enforcer who leads the disciplinary committee at Honnōji Academy, and, being a member of the Elite Four, has a Three-Star Goku Uniform, and refers to himself under the title of Satsuki's "Impenetrable Shield".

Overview

Being this game's closest thing to a grappler, patience and solid defensive play is a must, but Gamagoori is capable of rushing down his opponents too thanks to his far reaching normals and hard to avoid guard breaks. He may be slow on the ground, but he has the highest amount of health in the game. This allows him to take lots of abuse from both himself and the opponent. You cannot sit in Shackle Regalia all day however, as it counts as blocking and a guard break will knock you out of it. Gamagoori excels at a medium range due to his whips and will deal absurd amount of damage with enough damage charge. If he gets a hit in, you will feel it. He struggles somewhat with projectiles, so the aforementioned patience must be used. Valor is somewhat important to him, as the cap of DC going from 100% to 300% will serve as a large boon.

Playstyle

Gamagoori is a resource-based grappler who uses his Shackle Regalia to force his way in.
Pros	Cons
Shackle Regalia: Gamagoori's Shackle Regalia is an extremely powerful tool that can let him negate any non Break Attack move and all projectiles with it's Guard Point, letting him bypass the majority of neutral and zoning with ease, Shackle can also be used to armor through Counter Bursts as well. Absolute Unit: Gamagoori has the highest amount of health in the game at 15,000, this allows him take a beating in neutral, survive combos that would kill the rest of the cast, and endure plenty of chip damage while in Shackle Regalia. Gigantic Normals: With ample DC, Gamagoori has absurd range on many of his normals as his whips allow him to snipe people from midscreen with ease, moves such as 5A, d.A, and 5BA excel at this, making him a threat even when not close to the opponent. Meter Generator: If Gamagoori's Damage Charge gauge is already maxed, any additional DC will instead fill his SP gauge and instantly remove any Meter Cooldown, which allows him to build meter without having to interact with the opponent. Guard Destroyer: Gamagoori has a plethora of ways to open his opponents up, his Breaks Attacks become true unblockables at point blank range as they cannot be sidestepped at this range. Gamagoori's 5[B] and j.[B] provide a Guard Crush if blocked, which he can combo from. Unstoppable Valor: Gamagoori has one of the best Valors in the game as his Valor Level 1 triples his DC cap and his Break Attacks become massive and get 1000+ Threshold Armor. His Valor Level 2 meanwhile makes his sp.B become one of the scariest supers in the game as it leads to guaranteed damage no matter what the opponent does while in it's range as it guard crushes on block and can lead into sp.C for ToDs.	Shackle Regalia: Gamagoori's Shackle Regalia while powerful, is not unbeatable, he will take chip damage while in Shackle if he tanks an attack which can add up over time and can kill him. Shackle is also highly susceptible to being broken through with fast Break Attacks. Damage Charge: Gamagoori needs sufficient DC to run his offense as without DC his attacks are extremely slow and lack range which makes it absolutely necessary to manage his DC gauge properly while getting in and performing combos to get the most out of it. Combo Game: Gamagoori's combo game is rather poor as his routes lack flexibility, overall damage, and he lacks forced enders from certain moves which can make his combos drop at high combo limit.

Valor Level 1

• DC cap increased to 300% (100% at Level 0).
• Break attacks that use DC are enhanced.
• Bloody Valor now grants 50% DC regardless of winning or losing as either the attacker or defender.
• No longer loses DC when hit with a Break Attack in Shackle Regalia.

Valor Level 2

• Long Ranged Attack Special enhanced, increasing the rate of the DC gain during the charge and the damage potential upon release.

Notables

• When Gamagoori blocks for too long he will automatically go into Shackle Regalia.

Close Ranged Attacks

5A Right Straight of Destruction Right Straight of Destruction Discipline: Double Discipline: Double Discipline: Slam Discipline: Slam Discipline: Cruel Restraint Discipline: Cruel Restraint

Version Damage Prorate Priority Startup On Hit On Block Counter Hit 5A 600 - - 50 Sliding Knockdown - +300 Damage Only available at 0% DC. Li'l baby punch with a long startup. Try to not have this move come out, otherwise you're liable to be punished. Replaces any grounded followup if DC depletes to 0%. Can cancel into d.b or 5AAC. 5A (DC) 240 to 400 - - 17 Knockdown - +90 to +300 Damage Max DC Consumption: 10% Gamagoori whips to the left then to the right with a large amount of range. A good all around starter. Hits twice, and comes out a bit faster than 4/6A. Please note how damage is recorded for moves that require DC. The lower number is if you do not have the full amount of DC required for the move, and the higher number is if you do. In this case, having 10% DC will yield 480 total damage while having any less will yield only 160 total damage. 5AA 360 to 600 - - 23 Knockdown - +90 to +300 Damage Max DC Consumption: 10% Gamagoori slams his whips onto the ground, bouncing the opponent off the ground and up into the air. 5AAA (Ender) 1200 to 2000 - - 37 Sliding Knockdown N/A N/A Max DC Consumption: 30% Only available if 5AA hits. The infamous "Whip of Love". An ender that trades a good chunk of DC for a good chunk of damage. However, cannot be followed up.

Gamagoori covers the stage with a barrage of whips, throwing the opponent all over the place. A less damaging ender but gives the most meter out of all of Gamagoori's enders at a respectable 25%.

Damage Prorate Priority Startup On Hit On Block Counter Hit 420 to 700 - - 27 Knockdown - +180 to +600 Damage Max DC Consumption: 10% Gamagoori flings his whips upwards, which is useful as an anti-air. There is a noticeable wind up however, and isn't recommended to be used as a combo starter when your opponent is on the ground over 4/6A or 5A. Uppercut Invulnerability on startup.

DC can be used to enhance specific attacks. At the beginning of a match, Gamagoori starts with 25% DC. Can charge to a max of 100% (300% at Valor Level 1). Percentage is consumed on the first frame of the attack. If Gamagoori wins or draws in Bloody Valor with Provoke, he will gain 50% DC for each Provoke used.
