Gameplay

Hisui & Kohaku (commonly called Maids) are stance/puppet character(s) who overwhelm their opponents with grimy setups and unrelenting pressure.

The duo is controlled one at a time and can be swapped back and fourth (22D) before round timer starts or while in neutral, with Hisui (default) for close range furniture violence and Kohaku for mid-range sweeping attacks. These two unique 'stances' sport good frame data and hitboxes of their moveset that fits their respective range quite well.

The key to their nasty pressure game is their setplay. Hisui prepares toxic bento picnic at various range that acts as a grounded launcher mine, while Kohaku brings out various weird plants to force frametraps and zoning. They can also call the other with a special to lend a hand with their moves to enforce mix-ups (Hisui's run-up normals, Kohaku's setplay and j.C hijinks) leading to wide array of punish and okizeme opportunities.

That said, their pressure game and okizeme often leave them within opponent's reach. Moreover, the two maids have different move speed and airdash distance. It takes time for each maid to run over to your current position before switching. Astute players may exploit inevitable gaps in pressure and put them in bad spot, where they are sorely lacking in defensive options with only their Arc Drive(s) as their only real reversal, and must rely on universal tools like Shielding or Moon Drives to get out. Thus, knowing what options you have on hand and when exactly to use them is crucial to winning with the maids.

Pick if you like

Avoid if you dislike

Very Strong Okizeme: Maids have a special property, where when they switch off a point character who had a projectile out, it won't go away when the new point is hit. This allows for some extremely oppressive bento/plant setups, that even a well placed mash won't save you from. Extremely Versatile Gameplan: Having access to two different movesets at once, maids players have the ability to pick and choose their lead depending on the matchup, and to swap in the middle of a round to counter any new situation they may come across. Oppressive Neutral: With access to assists than can act as a projectile separate to the point character, and Kohaku lead having access to item throw as their assist, plus the already solid buttons of the point character, playing neutral against this duo can feel like an exercise in futility.

Fragile: Maids have some of the lowest health in the game, sitting at a low 11000, meaning mistakes will cost you slightly more than usual. While this can be offset by the health regenerated by swapping maids, this is not a factor when maids are on the back foot. They also possess no wakeup reversals on either point character apart from universal ones, so being on defense can be a little bit rougher. Horrible Movement: Compared to the rest of the cast, both Hisui and Kohaku have some of the worst walks and runs in the entire game.

Story & Profile

A quiet, yet deeply affectionate maid
A maid for the Tohno family, responsible for household chores (except cooking) and taking care of Shiki. She is Kohaku's younger twin.
Unlike her sister, she is known for wearing more modern, non-traditional clothing.

Her quiet nature makes her true feelings difficult to read,
and her formal way of speaking has led Shiki to see her as being rather mechanical. Her fighting skills are not quite on the same level as her sister, but she holds her own well enough.

A young girl who brightens the Tohno residence with her smile
She and her twin sister Hisui have worked for the Tohno family since they were young. Her trademark outfit is an apron over a classic kimono.
Apart from assisting Akiha, she does household chores and tends the garden. Her pharmaceutical knowledge means she is also responsible for Shiki when he falls ill. She is endlessly cheerful, always willing to help, and wears a constant smile.

In battle, Kohaku can be seen wielding the sword she keeps hidden in her broom, calling on strange plants, and even dropping fire bombs from above as if by magic. How she is capable of such things is still a mystery to those around her.

• Whiff cancels available from frame 10 onwards (frame 10 is the first frame of the whiff cancelled move).

Hisui slaps the opponent around head level. Save this for rebeats as 2A has the same great frame data and hits low. Can be useful as a last minute anti-air but it's not very reliable.

Hits three times. Easily catches most backdashes. Lots of clash frames.

Hisui lunges a considerable distance across the screen. She is protected from most attacks with clash frames, allowing her to truck through projectiles and physical attacks. Don't get to greedy with this however as opponents can shield it or punish the long recovery. One of your best combo starters.

Hisui jabs her hand forward towards her opponent. This is your fastest low, so you'll be using it a lot. Consequently, also one of her weakest starters.

Great range for its speed.

Hisui washes the floor with a wet rag from a bucket, sweeping at the ground. Launches the opponent off the floor on hit, but it's not 100% needed in combos thanks to Sturdy Ladle. Usually you'll be using this as a hit confirm or a low in a blockstring.

• Throws the opponent too far away to combo off of midscreen without the use of meter or moon drive.

Universal air combo ender where Hisui drags the opponent to the ground, leaving them close. Can use remaining air actions after jump cancelling the animation.

• Can set up a basic but effective 50/50 after jump cancelling.
• Not the most ideal combo ender on Hisui as it doesn't allow you to set up bento oki without taking a risk. You have just enough time to place dust with +/, but this is a poor option as the version doesn't lead into anything without spending meter and the version loses to shield on reaction.

Well-Deserved Rest

This series of moves is extremely important to the maids' gameplan as placing bento down and switching to Kohaku results in screen pollution that doesn't go away when Kohaku is hit, creating weighted RPS scenarios and insurance-based pressure.

• Disappears when Hisui is hit, but not when she blocks.
• Activation is delayed from when it's set.

Hisui puts out a bento lunch for the opponent that explodes on contact. Hisui's main oki tool post hard knockdown. Takes a moment to activate, allowing you to run up and throw the opponent if they try to shield it or block, but you can also try to IAD j.A for a fast overhead or run up with a button. The explosion launches them briefly into the air allowing you to combo. You can stack these, but they can all be shielded at once. Makes for a very funny anti-air if someone jumps at Hisui with a bento in front of her.

• Same as the A version, except it travels a set distance before activating.

Hisui puts out a bento that somehow flies across the ground. Unlike previous games, these will stop at the corner and not fly off the screen. Using this version after 214C or j.236C outside of the corner will usually slide the bento directly on top of the opponent. Midscreen after a throw, the bento will land behind the opponent which catches backdashes as they will land right into it. You can typically run in and go for a mix-up.

• The table has an additional hit as it is set.

• If used in the corner, most of the table falls off screen.

Hisui bakes the opponent a delicious cake and sets the table for them. Takes up a lot of space. Good for catching the opponent trying to teleport out of shield or to stop them from using low to the ground movement options. Sees a lot of use in combos as it can extend them and add a ton of damage, as it can be used to extend into 5C > 3C while adding a good 500 damage.

Not as useful as the normal bentos in terms of oki, but synergizes well with the rest of her kit. She can use this in 623C mix-up to neutral jump and go for mix-ups from there.
