Matrimelee/Hikaru

Hikaru Jomon

Colors

Overview

Hikaru has moderately strong high/low mix-ups and strives on conditioning. She has simple combos and easy hit confirms. However, Hikaru must commit to her pressure and attacks. Hikaru is a character for a more experienced player that knows how to condition an opponent properly. Even with conditioning, her tools are very lackluster and make match-ups hard for her.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Plenty of low/high mix-ups to keep the opponent guessing. Easy hit confirms and combos. Simple punish options. Invincibility on her command roll.

Mediocre range despite using a cane. Must commit to her approaches. Juggles are character-specific. Her DP has large amounts of recovery. Every DP is a commitment with low damage reward. Ippatsu Ougi requires hard reads to work. Her counter can be triggered by a cross-up and whiff. Her 6.B overhead is easy to react to. Divekick is incredibly unsafe on block and not very rewarding on hit. Command roll can easily be grabbed and hit outside of the invincibility frames. Relies heavily on conditioning for pressure.

Combos

Ground Combos

• j9.D >> 2.B > C xx 623.C

19P/37R 40M

Hikaru's BnB. Get used to this one because you will use it a lot.

24P/47R 38M

• j9.D >> cl.D > D xx 63214C ~ Combo of your choice

This is an interesting Mixup tool since 63214C is an overhead hit. The follow up won't combo, but stills nice to trick the opponent
