Melty Blood/MBTL/Shiki Tohno/Strategy
Defense
Wakeup
When rising from a knockdown, Shiki does a handspring which shifts his character model far forward. If you're not used to this, it can make blocking left/right mixups a lot less obvious than for other characters.
Offense
Okizeme
Example oki options:
OS vs Heat and DPs: meaty 2A>2A~D>...
IAD >jX vs lowshield
dl. Grab vs shield
...
Throw:
j8/9>wjA>land j8 in corner j9 Midscreen
Airthrow:
...>3C>AT>66> You can always just runup and meaty from an early Airthrow.
>j4AAAB>AT>IAD>wjX>land Gives consistent hight for a meaty. It works best in the corner since you land quite far away from the enemy Midscreen.

j9 has to be input a little later then half the way down

Any normal that low profiles sufficiently (most crouching normals) just flat out make the jump-in whiff which causes the OS to give you a shield So mashing 2A on wakeup beats this OS
It also loses to Ciel 22B, DAN 623B/C, and Miyako Arc Drive
Mdscreen Metered Left/Right:
...>5BB>236A>236C>w2A>sj>wjA>land early wjA means sameside, late wjA means Sideswitch, The siwtch occurs slightly before you would crossup.
Midscreen metered left/right: ...>RB1>623X>623C>microwalk back>(wjA)>land>2A~D>...
- do 623C right as you land or else the microwalk timing gets messed up since they are further away.
- also works from 236A>623C and 214A>623C
Midscreen metered left/right: ...>RB1>623X>623C>8(6)>9>land>...
- Shikis version of the "Wellington" any amount of forward drift will cross up
- do 623C right as you land or else the timing gets messed up since they are further away.
- from 214A>623C or 236A>623C you have to drift back intead of forward to land sameside
Midscreen j236C left/right
...>3C>jABC>7/8/9jc>jAB>j236A(1)>j236C>6/4 microwalk>j9>(wjA)>land>2A>2D~A>...
Lenght of microwalk and if you did jc8 or jc9 determines left/right. When jc7 use 6 Microwalk when jc8/9 use 4
