Ryofu

Profile

Name: 呂布 奉先 (Ryofu Hōsen)
Real Name: Ren
Historical Counterpart: Lü Bu - Fengxian
Voice Actress: Emiko Hagiwara

The mightiest warrior in the Three Kingdoms. So strong that none dare approach her, she is forced to live a life of unending solitude. Despite this, she is actually a simple, cheerful girl who loves to play with cats and dogs. Her weapon is the spear known as the Sky Piercer.

Gameplan

Ryofu is a grounded footsies character with very long-range buttons (5B), good confirms from 2B, and the ability to significantly close the gap with her special moves by charging forward. Her Hougeki starters have fairly deceptive animations (6B and 6C look very similar in their startup) and she has a fairly good anti-air game as well. Although, her most consistent anti-air is her DP, not 3B. Overall, a very solid character. Don't forget that her 2A is not a low.

Recommended Strategists

• Fire - Gives Ryofu a fullscreen option to whiff punish the opponent and confirms into f.C for 3.4k (if in range).

• Divekick - Similar to fire assist but not quite as fast and comes in from the top of the screen, rather than in front of (or under) the opponent.

Normal Moves

5A

5A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 300 Mid 5 2 10 ±0 -2 Knockback Self-cancelable up to 3 times. Fast, mid-hitting jab that is self- and special-cancelable, and can be used for stagger pressure. Longest 5A in the game.

c.B

c.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 800 Mid 6 2 27 +6 -5 Knockback Special-cancelable proximity normal that is good for punishing unsafe moves at a very close range.

f.B

f.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 1100 Mid 10 3 30 +1 -9 Knockback Having good range, speed, damage, and being +1 on hit makes this a good poking and whiff punishing tool.

c.C

c.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 1200 Mid 10 2 31 +4 -10 Knockback A bit stronger than c.B and does not have to be as close.

f.C

f.C

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 3000 Mid 28 3 56 ±0 +21 OR -29* Knockback Guard crushes vs crouching. The most damaging normal in the game but very unsafe on standing block. Even when done from max range, most characters have a way to punish you. Best used to whiff punish the opponent at max range or if you have a read, you can also use this to punish very unsafe moves on block (such as this one.) Can be confirmed into from most assists, but Shūyu's fire is the easiest and doesn't scale as hard.

2A

2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 300 Mid 5 2 9 +1 -1 Knockback Self-cancelable up to 3 times. Shares the shortest 2A with Gakushin and Chōhi. Does not hit low, but still self- and special-cancelable. With slightly better frame data than 5A, this move can also be used for stagger pressure. Vulnerable to attacks with low-body invul.

2B

2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 900 Low 11 2 31 ±0 -10 Knockback Slightly shorter than her f.B, but can be special canceled. Good for poking and punishing moves on block.

2C

2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 1200 Mid 14 7 20 +3 -11 Knockback Airborne on frames 17-30. Launches during a Hougeki. An anti-air uppercut that is special-cancelable. Due to the lack of aerial invul, 3B is a better option.

j.A

j.A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 600 High 5 12 - +19 +7 Knockback Ryofu brings up her legs, shrinking her hurtbox for the duration of the active frames. Afterwards, she brings them back down until she lands.

j.B

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 1000 High 8 3 - +20 +8 Knocback A slash at a downward angle, can out-range some 6Bs.

j.C

j.C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block Counter-hit Attribute 1300 High 10 6 - +25 +7 Knockback Wall bounces during a Hougeki. A mid-air drop kick. Used in some Hougeki combos.

Command Moves
