Introduction
A second generation GAT-X machine, Forbidden is designed for infiltrating and raiding enemy bases and to fulfil this role.
This absolute monkey is the closest thing to a grappler you'll get in this game. Featuring half screen unblockables/guard breaks, unnecessarily slow but large normals and pretty decent damage, anybody can steer this thing and make you feel bad for pressing 4.

Unfortunately his fastest short attack and doesn't really do much hitstun. It covers a somewhat large amount of space though.

A disjointed swipe. MAD startup but amazing range as an attempt to compensate. Do not do this up-close you will die. Causes Knockdown.

A very very far reaching cut, almost full-screen. Cancelling into anything but 4S and 5SP on block is most definitely a death sentence cause every other short followup is the slowest thing on earth and gets easily beaten by guard cancels. This attack does do a lot of blockstun though, and makes 5SP and 4S followups great for Guard or Guard Cancel mixups. This may be his closest thing to an anti-air.

GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD this is such a slow followup. There is absolutely no way to justify doing this on block. Its not an overhead or anything its just straight up bad. Use it after a 6S on hit for a little extra damage before a knockdown or Kali Loops but thats really it. Similar to 6S, has enough blockstun for guard or guard break mixups but your not gonna be doing this block anyways.

A faster followup sure but there still isn't much to go how about here. Its a standing low that causes knockdown. It also cancels into '5S/6S > 5S' again, resetting the string. Similar to 6S, has enough blockstun for guard or guard break mixups.

THIS IS THAT GOOD GOOD. Almost full-screen advancing Guard Break that launches. If this makes contact with the opponent blocking in the corner it can mean a LOT of damage, however it lacks (like most GBs) in the fact you can't really do anything off it on hit. Like most GB's you can use it for guard break wakeup loops.
Something else to be aware of....don't be tricked by its seemingly large vertical range. Its hitbox is actually extremely low to the ground and is based on that of the second image (Launcher). So this is not good for use as an anti-air of sorts.

An alternative unblockable. In comparison to 4S, it has less startup, less horizontal range but more vertical range. The field it creates in front of Forbidden makes it generally safer than advancing toward the enemy fully vulnerable like 4S. It also has less recovery than 4S, which means it can link into a 6S after a GB. This move is pretty disjointed though and has a tendency to whiff up-close. Launches.

A very very slow jumping normal. Its range is good and it wallbounces but its just way too slow. Huge Pro about it though is that its the key to performing Kali loops.

The most notable thing about it is that it initiates the cutscene even on block which can catch unknowing opponents who'd want to guard cancel.

- MIXUP -
[On Block] 6S > 4S/5SP/5S >........ - You can do his 6S > 5S > 5S.... string for however long you want, but the opponent isn't required to respect it. They can guard cancel it easily as the followups are extremely slow. This is where 4S and 5SP come in. If they guard cancel, a 5SP would punish it and you may or may not subsequently do Kali Loops off of said prediction. If they keep guarding, a surprise 4S will break their shield WHILE they're in blockstun (they can't escape) and similar to 5SP can lead to loops potentially. Its a pretty scary situation to put the opponent in.
- WAKEUP GUARD BREAK LOOPS -
Very self-explanitory. You meaty the a 4S on the opponent's wakeup. If they block, they get looped/knocked down. The plan is to force them to take a hit anyways. You can't followup a 4S on Hit so you want them to keep blocking.
