Name: 趙雲 子龍 (Chō'un Shiryū) Real Name: Sei Historical Counterpart: Zhào Yún - Zilong Voice Actress: Emi Motoi Wielding a spear known as Dragon Fang, she is a warrior of ability to match Kan'u and Chōhi. Revered as the Divine Spear, she cuts down her foes as if dancing gracefully, her long hair floating behind her. She has her own unique opinions concerning beauty, but her esthetics do not match those of the ordinary person. She likes bamboo shoots and wine.
Chō'un is a neutral oriented character, who excels at whiff punishing, and controlling space from afar. Her reach is among the longest in the game, and without sacrifice of speed. Chō'un can do distance specific combos, and even has a few tricky mix-ups if she is able to get in close. Her 2C is an exceptional anti-air, and also combos if you are in range to do so. A great character if you have high awareness of your own spacing.

Combos
General
[5A/2A]*n > 236AB
Jab confirm.
2B > 236A
Only connects up close. Can be an alright frametrap on block as well.
2B > 623B (> 2A > 236AB)
Works at almost-tip range. 323 also works for the DP motion. Tack in some extra damage with 2A > 236AB or take the massive advantage on hit for a mixup.
Super can be input as 2321D. Can also link into c.B after 623B, though it's much harder. Or just go for a reset after 623B, since you're massively + and have dealt most of the damage anyway.
