Introduction

Uzu Sanageyama (猿投山 渦)

He is one of the student council's Elite Four. He regulates the athletic clubs at Honnōji Academy, including the boxing and tennis clubs. As a fighter, Sanageyama specializes in swordplay, using the kendō style. He is always seen carrying a shinai - a wooden katana used for kendō practice - which he uses with great skill.

Overview

In his mighty Blade Regalia Mk.II, he attacks with relentless, strong, and fast sword strikes with his bamboo sword. As a character, he has insane combo potential, fairly big attacks, and strong specials. However, his gameplan is somewhat simple, so he can be somewhat predictable. Playing as Sanageyama you must learn to vary your assaults and trick your opponent so that you may catch them making a mistake, and punish them with an absurdly strong combo off of a counter hit. He can be overwhelmed with range and projectiles that can hit him from a distance, so you may have trouble getting in. If you can master Sanageyama's skills and moves, and efficiently read your opponent (maybe with your own Shingantsu), Uzu's overwhelming offense will efficiently and quickly finish off your opponent. Just be sure to keep track of your habits and not play into your opponent's hands.

Pros Cons
  • Unstoppable Force: With fast far reaching normals, a plethora of armored moves, and his infamous j.C cancels, Sanageyama's approach options are some of the best in the game as he can just teleport or truck through just about anything in neutral, forcing most characters to be defensive.
  • Valor of Deterrence: Sanageyama's Valor Level 1 unlocks Shingan Step, a parry that gives him high damage punish options and tons of meter, allowing him to easily steal his turn back if on the defensive, he also has Just Guard in Valor Level 0 which acts as a mini Shingan Step.
  • Pressure Machine: Sanageyama has built in frame traps, good stagger pressure, unblockables with sp.B, and 50/50 mix with sp.C due to it being dash cancelable, which gives him one of the scariest mix options in the game.
  • Meter Gain: Sanageyama has the worst meter gain in the game, letting most opponents burn through most of his health if not all of it when they hit him. Sanageyama also feeds the opponent massive amounts of meter on hit as well. Sanageyama's use of Valor, bursting, and his supers are restricted by this. This also impacts his mix greatly as sp.C is the only way he can get true 50/50 mix as the rest of his pressure is just bait outs.
  • Predictability: Sanageyama's low variety of moves and him being unsafe with most of his moves on block forces him to try and play unpredictably and condition his opponents to get hits in.
  • Counter Hit Reliant: Sanageyama needs Counter Hits and or Guard Breaks to do good damage, as his damage is normally quite lackluster in comparison to the most of the cast without them.


Valor Level 1

  • Gains the ability "Shingan Step." Allows him to dash cancel out of a successful block.
  • Close Range Attack follow-up on d.AAA changes from 5AAAAAAA (Ender) to d.AAAA.
  • Increased damage on d.B and gains Guard Point on startup.
  • Counter hit window on d.C is removed and gains more Guard Point.


Valor Level 2

  • Close Ranged Attack Special enhanced.


Notables

  • Sanageyama's Just Guard and Shingan Step allows him to be the only character in the game with the ability to Parry.
  • Sanageyama's wallsplats are unique as they give him negative damage scaling instead of regular damage scaling.

    • Does increased hitstun on Counter Hit/Guard Break, allowing for possible follow-ups outside of Sanageyama's cancel options.
  • Air Dash cancelable during the startup.
  • Sanageyama's ol' reliable, this move is absolutely integral to his gameplan and is used for neutral, pressure, combos, you name it. j.C is often used to let Sanageyama bully his way through neutral, as he can Air Dash cancel it into itself, and with that it is also used for pressure as he can constantly vary the timings of his cancels while remaining mostly safe behind his Guard Point, which makes getting hit by it all the more scary as j.C is Sanageyama's best starter on Counter Hit, forcing most of the cast to be on the defensive when this move is in play, although your usage of this move shouldn't be too careless or predictable as it has lengthy recovery.
