Introduction

Hōka Inumuta (犬牟田 宝火)

He is one of the student council's Elite Four. He is in charge of Honnōji Academy's information and strategy committee, aiding the student council by analyzing information via his laptop. He is also in charge of analysis of the Goku Uniforms research in the Sewing Club.

Overview

Inumuta is a pixie character who relies on his fast movement speed and normals, cubes, and infinites to delete his opponents. His normals are fairly safe on block or have enough cancel options to avoid direct punishment. He can reliably zone against most characters as his cubes are high priority projectiles (will clash against homing dashes). He can theoretically combo any character from full health to death and keep his combo unburstable by repeatedly stealing their meter before they can burst. Should they be able to burst he has multiple options to bait a burst attempt (sp.A, sp.C, Valor, some burst safe normals). He has many different unburstable infinites to pull from depending on the stage he is on, and him winning from these in Round 1 lets him start Round 2 in TOC, which will let him get near guaranteed hits at Round 2 start, letting him theoretically win the entire game off of roundstart. Should he feel the need to timer scam, TOC is very effective for keeping himself hidden (on top of being in permanent sidestep invul) until the game is over. Obtaining a significant life lead and entering TOC is an effective strategy for winning a game against an opponent who is difficult to approach or who has very few options to deal with TOC.

Playstyle

Inumuta is a flexible pixie character who will swiftly delete you for any mistake.
Pros	Cons
To Infinity and Beyond: Inumuta is the only character in the game with fully unburstable infinites, he can start these infinites off of nearly any hit and if he ends them properly, they will put him in TOC which will let him get a near guaranteed hit at the start of Round 2, letting him potentially win the entire game off of one hit. Thermo Optical Camouflage: Inumuta's infamous stance. In this state, Inumuta is invisible, gains permanent Sidestep Invulnerability, and gains additional moves. Many attacks, including his Step Dash, also make him "flicker" into it, making him a slippery target. Speedster: Inumuta has the fastest base walkspeed in the game, has the fastest normals in the game, and has a Homing Dash with near instant acceleration. Versatility: Can mix between zoning and rushdown styles with ease. Has access to strong defensive options, setplay, mix-ups, staggers, and meaty/okizeme options. Overall his kit is excellent for nearly any defensive or offensive situation. Resource King: Inumuta has the best meter gain in the game, allowing him to use metered options often. He also has many moves that steal meter and or health from opponent such as sp.B and sp.C. Swiss Army Valor: Inumuta has one of the strongest and most versatile Valors in the game, as it allows him to enter Thermo Optic Camouflage without the cost of meter, improves his infinites, improves his Analyze Gauge gains, and enhances his already powerful sp.C.	Fragile: Inumuta has the lowest health in the game, making mistakes with him when on meter cooldown is extremely punishing as most characters can one shot him if they get the chance. Weak to Armor: Inumuta has rather weak answers to certain moves with Guard Point or Threshold Armor, forcing him to be on the defensive against certain characters.

Valor Level 1

• Allows Inumuta to spend up to 5 AP instead of 3 during guard breaks.
• Thermo Optical Camouflage can be used from break attack startups or during a homing dash.
• Each cube that lands on your opponent will now build one AG instead of 1/2.
• True Invulnerability on wakeup is increased.

Valor Level 2

• Break Attack Special enhanced

Notables

• Inumuta's invul frames share the same rules as TOC unless stated otherwise on specific moves.
