Introduction

As you may or may not know, Hattori Hanzo is a ninja. A real ninja, like a Japanese historical figure, reincarnated by SNK into the Samurai Shodown universe.

Hanzo is a very mobile character who can be very hard to pin down. He lacks some of the poking tools other characters have, namely an anti air. Being a ninja, he won't let that stop him. Using a combination of projectiles, mixups, and mindgames Hanzo will fight his way to victory. His command grab looks cool.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Very fast and damaging 2AB sweep with whiff cancel potential.
  • Baku'en Ryuu controls a lot of space, deals good damage, and sets up tick throws and mixups.
  • All of his specials can be used while unarmed, even his WFT!
  • Very good command grabs that range from quick and weak to slow and damaging. His WFT is a command grab, too.
  • Great mobility. Can punish from a distance with 66C, long range backdash with an early cancel window, and lots of teleports.
  • No high damage long range normals -- his 5AB slashes really suck.
  • Backdash takes a long time to finish and can be easily punished with a good read.
  • Low damage anti-airs.
  • Mixups leave him wide open if blocked or whiffed.
  • Doesn't get good damage outside of punishes.

Amazing punishing tool and suprising poking tool.

Also will catch people off guard who are not expecting a low from half the screen away. However it's unsafe on block if you are too close. Guarantees a Small Pursuit (2BC) if it connects.

Hanzo can sometimes self-disarm after sending a slow fireball (214+B) but before it connects.

Hanzo does a handstand into backflip across about half the screen, the distance covered makes it a really effective movement and escape tool. In addition to that, it's special cancelable during the handstand into any of his grounded specials (even grab), as well as j.236S. Being able to do this cancel is a vital part of Hanzo's game.

Baku'enryuu is a key move for Hanzo. People moving recklessly will get hit by it easily.

  • 214A: Fastest startup, slowly travels about half the screen before dissipating.
  • 214B: Medium startup, slowly travels across the whole screen.
  • 214AB: Slowest startup, but travels full screen very quickly which can catch people off guard.

Hanzo's command grab, probably his most defining move along with Baku'en Ryuu. Damage is unaffected by character defenses, which is nice against guys like Gedo. Normally you will be using this move from a roll forward (cancelled), or sometimes a dash when a Baku'en Ryuu setup is involved.

  • 623A: Fastest version of the grab and probably the one you will use the most.
  • 623B: More damage but slower, least useful version, but timing makes it easy to tick throw with off a close A slash attack.
  • 623AB: Very strong damage and quite slow. A very useful mixup and punishing tool. Slightly better range than the others, too.
  • Mozu Otoshi (Hayate) - 6623S: Can only be used after dashing for a certain period (~half the screen), and will always come out over the other versions so long as you cancel from a dash. Speed is the same as the A version, but it recovers almost twice as fast. Hanzo has forward momentum during the startup and it positions both characters more towards your back than the other versions. At more than half-screen separation, it is useful to dash into this command throw immediately after sending an A or B fireball. This works when they are far enough that the A fireball will expire before reaching them, leaving them in a throwable state. The B fireball trick is better for bigger separation, as at max range Hanzo can actually dash in front of the fireball and throw them before they start blocking the fireball. The threat of this combination will force many characters to jump over slow fireballs.

Hanzo does a teleport animation then phases out briefly before reappearing. This move is very useful both as a feint to his other teleports, and moreso as a bait against grabs and pokes. You can sort of think of this move as a 2D that you can cancel into with shorter duration.

Hanzo does a teleport animation then goes into one of 4 different teleports. Generally considered to be too slow to be useful against an experienced player, however if a Baku'en Ryuu setup is involved it can be quite tricky.

  • 421A: Teleports to the left side of the screen, then hops out from behind a curtain into the air, you can do an air attack on the way down.
  • 421B: Teleports to the left side of the screen, then flickers a moment before completely recovering.
  • 421C: Teleports to the right side of the screen, then hops out from behind a curtain into the air, you can do an air attack on the way down.
  • 421D: Teleports to the right side of the screen, then flickers a moment before completely recovering.

Hanzo teleports away, then waits for the opponent to be on the ground if they aren't already before showing up and doing a pre-designated attack. Also generally considered to be too slow to be effective against an experienced player, and an unsafe mixup. Only real use is that it will generally stuff retaliations against the teleport attack so if your opponent just mashes pokes every time you do a teleport move, this will probably beat it.

  • Ninpou Utsusemi Tenbu - 63214AC: Comes in from the air with an overhead attack, it's reactable.
  • Ninpou Utsusemi Chizan - 63214BC: Comes in from the ground crouching, and does a low hitting sword sweep.

Hanzo leaves behind a log and appears elsewhere to counterattack his enemy, can only be used from hitstun. It becomes more difficult to do the shorter the hitstun, so use it for punishing long multihit moves and heavy attacks with a ton of hitstun like Haoh's AB.

It might be better if you think of this as [64]x3 > 2 > S. Or alternatively [64]xN > 2 > S. So long as you make sure you end at 4~2. Try to mash [64] throughout the hitstop and then time the down input with the end of hitstop.

  • Migawari no Jutsu: Hotoke - 6464642AC: Counterattack from the air (overhead).
  • Migawari no Jutsu: Oni - 6464642BC: Counterattack from the ground (low).

The frame data listed here is of course for the follow-up attacks, not the actual "log out" part of the move, which happens instantly. As you can see they are exactly the same as for his "Utusemi Tenbu" specials.

Like his 623A, but a little slower and does huge damage. 5F startup and ability to be used from dashes/rolls means it's a great punisher for just about anything. Can sneak it in as a tick throw on respectful or bewildered opponents. Be warned that it is not invulnerable.

Combos

Normal

  • 2AB xx 8BC Bread n' Butter, punish anything you can with it, also combos off deep jumps.
  • 214S 8BC Useful confirm for adding threat to your projectiles, just go into 2BC if you confirm late.
  • (3C or 66C or 66B) 2BC Make your sissy moves do slightly more damage.
  • 6C 8BC Does not combo on Amakusa and Kyoshiro.

Time slow

Nothing special here, his AB attacks other than 2AB are all very laggy during Time Slow making them not very useful. Get in as many 5Bs in as you can before meter runs out before using Issen. If you need to start from a dash use dashing A since it's your only dash attack that doesn't knock over.

However, Time Slow is a good chance for Hanzo to land his 623AB outside of a punish.

Strategies

Neutral Game

Hanzo's neutral game is really heavily reliant more than anything on his very fast dash, and very fast/cancelable backdash. Dash under bad jumps, backdash out of dodge to avoid unnecessary risks. When you have enough breathing room try to get out a 214B/AB, or just 214A if you don't have much time. Once you have a fireball out their options are very limited and you can start to turn things in your favor. Also be looking for opportunities to land dash in grab / 66C.

Hanzo may not do a lot of damage all at once except for when punishing with 2AB or 623AB, but he can annoy people into making those mistakes.

Dashing Mixups

Without Baku'en Ryuu

Knockdown...
> Dash, AB Crossup, beats most DPs by means of avoiding them entirely.
> Dash, B Uncrossup, low, combos into 2BC.
> Dash, 623A If you dashed far enough, the dashing version will come out, using a normal grab will work just fine.

With Baku'en Ryuu

Knockdown...
> 214AB Doesn't actually grant you any followup, but it's pretty much inescapable, eats wakeup jumps / mashes / whathaveyou for free. Isn't generally needed unless you are especially far.
> 214A/B... Most common option, both give time for followup, use 214B when you are outside of 214A range.
> Dash, BR blocked...
> Dashing AB
> Dashing B
> tick into Dashing 623A
> Crossup 421B/C... Depending on how far you were and how fast you did the teleport, the projectile may or may not crossup.
> 623A
> BC
> 2AB
> 214A... This is from outside of 214A range, meaning it's a bluff.
> Dashing AB
> Dashing B
> tick into Dashing 623A
  • You can also roll into your command grabs if you so please, sometimes you can use it to roll through an attack.

Teleport Mindgames

While Hanzo's teleports are rather iffy as ambiguous mixup, they do have a lot of mindgame potential, especially once you start canceling into them.

Hanzo's fastest teleport is actually his teleport feint, 22S. Probably the one you want to be using the most as well since there's much less risk involved. A simple practical use for it is to 22S just outside of your opponents effective range, and as they wait for the followup dash in and 66C or regular/command grab.

For example, off a knockdown in the corner you're unable to go into much of a dashing mixup. As your opponent stands up you can do 22S and on reappearing 623A for a tick throw to get around the huge throw protection window on wakeup. You can also cancel into any of his teleports off a wiffed special cancelable poke, or his backdash, giving you even more options.

Here's another example: Close 5B (blocked) > 22A > Grab. Same situation right? Obviously they are going to catch on. Next time do close 5B (blocked) > 421B/D (whichever teleports you away) > 66C to punish a wiffed poke. You can really do anything after teleporting back, but the idea is to do something they never thought you could do. For the record, 22A > 2AB is faster than 63214BC and is also much safer.

Further expanding on that possibility, you could 5B (blocked) > 22A > 2AB > cancel recoil into something else / confirm into 2BC. As you can see the possibilities are basically only limited by your imagination.
