Introduction

Depth perception is for wimps.

Defined by having catch counters, long range pokes, fast ground speed, so-so specials, strong chipping potential, and a pretty lousy jump, Jubei is a well-rounded zoning oriented character with strong active defense that takes some guts to play effectively. He uses his strengths to makes his opponents not want to sit still or take careless guesses, and takes advantage of that.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Extremely strong antiair tools.
  • Long ranged normals make him hard to get in on safely.
  • Catch counters are great at forcing the opponent to think twice about his actions.
  • His 623S can be used as a fakeout into throw or other mixup.
  • Strong projectile mixup.
  • Really slow jump means he can only approach safely on the ground.
  • Has trouble punishing anything outside of his 5AB range.
  • 623S is ridiculously unreliable and it is his only invincible attack.
  • WFT is only really good for chipping and running down the clock.

Slowish but powerful slash that hurts hard and pushes them back to neutral. Good punishment tool if available, it's the reset counterpart to the other punishment tools.

Oddly, the hit is not cancelable, but the frames immediately before are. This is pretty useless, but be more careful about timing recoil cancel.

This is a very long range overhead that is surprisingly difficult to punish on block. It tech jumps like most overheads, so it's also good as an anti-low tool.

Since the full animation is pretty fast, this is actually useful as a long range poke in the way 5B is.

Two hit kick with some interesting/useless properties. Since it's cancelable on either hit you can use it to confirm a hit and cancel into something if it's blocked, or you can use it to take a risky gamble on canceling the first hit into 623A since it's a low. You probably have better options when this is available, though.

Jubei's projectile.

  • 236A - Comes out very very fast, combos off of pretty much everything, but is horrible on block at close range. Spaced out it's what you'll be using most of the time. It can be hopped, so watch out.
  • 236B - Comes out slower but recovers quicker. Useful if you want to follow along with it at range or are worried about being punished on block. It can still be hopped.
  • 236AB - Starts up almost as fast as 236B and has much slower recovery. Chips 3 times, hits 5 times and it can't be rage exploded or reflected. Useful for forcing a jump or block, since it's difficult to get around, but it can be hopped if timed correctly.
This one has two hitboxes with different properties. There is a hitbox while he is "winding" up the projectile. This hitbox is near him, stationary, and a low. Then there is a second hitbox when he actually send outs the projectile. This is a mid.

Jubei's DP. All of them have a small invincibility period on start while he's holding his swords up, then he dashes forward for a few shoulder hits. If they connect in any way, he follows up with an upwards sword slash.

This is an interesting move. On whiff it recovers almost instantly, especially the A version. On hit it forces a knockdown, though you recover too slow to capitalize on it well. On block it's absolutely horrible and will lead to you getting hit by the hardest punisher that is available, so be careful. It resets on an air hit and lets the opponent recover in time to block the followup. If the shoulder-dash goes all the way into the corner, Jubei will do the uppercut even on whiff.

The best usage is spacing this so it intentionally whiffs, you can then use it for a throw mixup since they'll most likely be blocking in case the rest comes out. If you're out of range and they step into it, they're going to get hit probably by the full followup.

You need to be very careful about catching outstretched limbs, though! If it's from far enough away, they'll get hit by the first shoulder, go into hitstun and pull themselves far back, and then recover before Jubei can get there in time to continue. Using as a far punisher or far reversal directly is not recommended, start with 2B or 5B first.

Hundred hand sword slaps. More often than not, you are going to do this move by accident. And then more often than not the opponent is going to try to punish and get stabbed by something for almost no damage. This move is especially easy to get by accident because despite what the input says up there and how mash moves are for the rest of the cast, you do NOT need to hold forward for this move to come out. Temper your mashing or this move will expose you.

It's actually hard to guess when it's going to end, so it's mostly safe. Since you can cancel into it seamlessly from any B attack, it makes a good spacing tool occasionally, just watch out for anyone with a DP.

During time slow they have literally no pushback while this is going, so feel free to chip the hell out of them if they're blocking. A or B version is recommended for this.

Catch counters. They all catch for 18f starting from the first frame, so it works as a reversal too. They don't care if an attack is deflectable or not, if it connects it WILL be caught. However, it does have to be a weapon skill, they can't catch anything that isn't using the weapon, so it won't get kicks or punches.

These hurt really hard if you can connect with them, so they're a great tool to keep the opponent on his toes, but they're all horribly punishable on whiff. If the opponent sees the animation, he just hits a button and immediately punishes, no need to wait on it to end. If you have fast reactions, you can stop many attacks on reaction, and figuring out which ones is a great way to shut down the opponent's tools.

  • Shingantou: Suigetsu - 214A - Low counter. This can catch specials.
  • Shingantou: Souha - 214B - Mid counter. Does more damage than the others, but will NOT catch specials.
  • Shingantou: Tenra - 214C - High counter. This can catch specials. Most new players will spam this like crazy against jumpins, but you should really only use this on players that are careless enough to not try empty jumpins or j.C instead. When they start switching to that you can use more traditional antiairs for free damage, since they invariably lose range doing this.

Gigantic geyser of massive chip damage. Comes out really slow, but it's free against jumpers, and if the opponent blocks it there is a ton of chip damage. A lot of characters can punish this on block, so be careful about that.

Its best use is to stop obvious jump shenanigans on anticipation, possibly by backrolling. Don't abuse this against anyone that can punish on whiff/block, though.

Because of Jubei's rage charge and duration, more often than not you are better off aiming for either Issen charge or the bonus rage damage than this, but it can be a helpful chipping tool at times.

Combos

Normal

  • (5A or n.5A or 2A or n.2A or 66A or 3C first hit) ...
Lots of starters for light hits, which are all comboable. This gives Jubei a wide variety of fast punishment tools, though 5A and 66A are the fastest.
  • ... xx 236A
Works at most ranges, resets to neutral.
  • ... xx 623A
Good damage at very close range.
  • (5B or n.5B or 2B or n.2B) ...
Medium starters, for larger openings.
  • ... xx 236A
For spacing, resets to neutral.
  • ... xx 623B
This works from surprisingly far away, almost the full range of 5B. Great for punish combos.
  • ... xx 623AB 2BC
Have to start it from close range but hurts like crazy. Start it from 2B!
  • 2AB 2BC
Have to start from close range for both hits to connect, for the 2BC followup you have to backhit or be near the corner. Good knockdown option, though.
  • 66AB 2BC
Near corner. Sadly, you can't 8BC even on antiair.
  • 6C xx 8BC
Hits low, good range, hard to see coming, fairly safe on block and cancelable into other stuff. Abuse liberally!
  • 3C xx 8BC
Second hit combos into 8BC easily enough, you can confirm if you want to off of the first hit and go into something else otherwise.
  • 66C 2BC
If you ever use this, you can get a little bit more damage.
  • 623AB 2BC
Very tiny amount of extra damage, but you take what you can get.
  • 236AB 8BC
Nice damage boost if they get hit by it. Plus, you can't rage explode the 236AB so it's a guaranteed finisher.
  • 236CD 8BC
For that extra little bit of hurt.

Time slow

  • (vs air) j.AB j.AB j.AB

Strategies

General

Jubei's a strong footsies character, his mixups are not terribly great but he's good at making the opponent very edgy. You have a fast dash speed but poor dashing attacks, so use sparingly or against jumpers. Your long poke range makes it easy for you to just walk in and out of the opponent's range safely, or to make him walk into your attacks.
Watch the opponent's patterns carefully, your catch counters are terrifyingly strong if you land them, so if they're mashing pokes or predictable specials feel free to make them stop forcefully. This is best used against grounded attacks, rather than jumpins, since good players will watch that approach carefully. As good as your catch counters are, don't forget that you have a normal deflect, and that it is a lot safer than them in most scenarios.
Use whiffed 623A to catch attacks or to fake out into another mixup. Learn the range on it well!
Learn the 5B/2B 623S combos and the ranges at which they work, they are very strong punishment tools when available.
236A is incredibly obnoxious and outside of minimum range is incredibly difficult to stop. Be careful since they can hop it on reaction. Mix it up with 236B for faster recovery.
236AB is good for forcing them to jump or block, since some characters can't hop it and it beats most other projectiles clean. Be careful that you're not in jumpin range during startup, though.
5BC is an amazingly long range overhead that is really difficult to punish when spaced, and can function as a poke in a pinch. Plus, you can mix it up with 6C 8BC, which is a very fast low hit with solid range and cancelability.
He is pretty slow to rage, but rages for a relatively long time as far as this game goes. It's pretty easy to find room to charge for Issen but his damage can get serious and that 18 seconds can feel like forever when he's on the offense. Gauge which way fits your playstyle and strategy better.

Damage and defense

Jubei has a few ways of punishing for solid damage:
  • 2B 623x - His staple punishment combo. Reasonably fast, does really nice damage, but the knockdown doesn't set up good okizeme for you and it's easily explodable. At close range you'll want to use 623AB, further away you'll have to use 623B.
  • 5AB or n.5AB - Very slow startup, only use on really laggy attacks. This doesn't knock down or give you frame advantage, but it does reset you to the neutral game.
  • 2AB - This is only viable at close enough range that the both hits connect. Starts up slightly faster than 2B, forces a far knockdown and does good damage. Since it's two hits you have to watch out for rage explosion.
  • n.5A 623A - Point blank only, but the startup is fast enough it will catch things nothing else will.
Antiair options:
  • 5AB - Decent against far anti-air, watch out for anyone with a good downwards slice though. Will actually catch crossups, but you'll probably get n.5AB instead which you don't want.
  • 66AB - Best option if they jump over you while you're dashing, it's free on crossunder.
  • 7 or 8 j.S - His jump is slow but his jumping attacks are fast with great range, which means he can stop jumps before they get to him. Be careful about landing resets, though.
  • 214C - Antiair catch. Don't use this against players smart enough to not mash something out every time.
