Normal Attacks

Standing

5A File:Chaosgen xhd 5A.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A fairly standard jab. Whiffs on crouchers. Can be used as situational anti-air, but don't count on it.

5B File:Chaosgen xhd 5B.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - High-angled kick. Pretty dang good anti-air if spaced correctly, and still manages to hit crouchers at point-blank range.

5C File:Chaosgen xhd 5C.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A quick right hook. Fairly fast for a heavy button, but somewhat short range. Pretty much outclassed by 2C.

5D File:Chaosgen xhd 5D.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A big knee strike. Pretty good range for its speed, but unsafe on block.

5CD File:Chaosgen xhd 5CD.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - An elbow strike Force Attack. Its small bit of forward movement gives it some nice range.

Crouching

2A File:Chaosgen xhd 2A.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A pretty standard crouching jab. Good frame advantage and self-chain makes it great for starting pressure.

2B File:Chaosgen xhd 2B.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - Great low poke. Somewhat short range, but it's even on block, so it can be useful for frame traps.

2C File:Chaosgen xhd 2C.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - The god button. Great range, plus on block, starts combos. This button basically sums up Xiahou Dun as a character.

2D File:Chaosgen xhd 2D.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - Decent range for a sweep, and grants a hard knockdown, but has pretty much no blockstun, so you're getting punished if it gets blocked.

Jumping

j.A File:Chaosgen xhd jA.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A downward-angled punch. Small hitbox and weird angle make it not very good for air-to-air or air-to-ground.

j.B File:Chaosgen xhd jB.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - The stanky leg. The hitbox on this thing is ridiculous. Great air-to-air. Can cross up, but it's not necessarily easy to get combos in that situation.

j.C File:Chaosgen xhd jC.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A jumping hammer fist. Decent as a jump-in, but you'll be using j.D more.

j.D File:Chaosgen xhd jD.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A spinning jump kick. Great jump-in, and covers enough space to be useful as a pre-emptive air-to-air, but j.B is still better for that purpose.

j.CD File:Chaosgen xhd jCD.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A jumping elbow strike. Great range with a good hitbox. Difficult to anti-air, but knocks down on hit, so you may prefer j.D for a jump-in if you're looking to mix people up.

Command Normals

6D File:Chaosgen xhd 6D.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - Guile's Bazooka Knee. Can link into a combo if hit at the right spacing, but is pretty unsafe otherwise.

8AC File:Chaosgen xhd 8AC.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - A jumping overhead attack with a similar animation to j.C. Not as fast as 8BD, but gets an easier link on hit.

8BD File:Chaosgen xhd 8BD.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - Another jumping overhead attack, this time a high-angled kick. Incredibly strong. Difficult to react to, converts into a full combo on hit and is completely safe on block.

Target Combos

2C,D,B File:Chaosgen xhd tc1.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - Arguably Dun's most important string. Links from 2A, all hits are special cancelable and the last hit links back into 2C. String is loopable during MAX Mode or Ultra. Really bad on block, though.

5A,C,A,D,A File:Chaosgen xhd tc2.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - Launches on the final hit for a juggle. All hits are special cancelable, but the final hit won't connect on crouchers.

5B,B,C File:Chaosgen xhd tc3.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - Another launcher string. Final hit is an overhead, but doesn't combo from the second hit. Last hit is special cancelable. Mainly used in some slightly gimmicky mixups.

1B,B,B,B,B File:Chaosgen xhd tc4.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - None of these hits are low. The first three hits are special cancelable.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Forward - Throw - - - - - Xiahou Dun beats the opponent up a little before smacking them down to the ground. Causes hard knockdown and leaves the opponent directly in front of him for okizeme. Back - Throw - - - - - Xiahou Dun snaps the opponent's neck before tossing them backward, leaving them at a mid distance from him. Effectively resets to neutral.

Special Moves

Wolf Drop 236P File:Chaosgen xhd 236P.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd 236PP.png EX version EX version	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - Exactly like Bryan Fury's Fisherman's Slam from Tekken. Staple combo part. The ground slam is a full OTG state that allows you to pick up for a combo. EX - - - - - - - The EX version gains full projectile invincibility.

Wolf Flash 623P File:Chaosgen xhd 623P.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd 623PP.png EX version EX version

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - A fairly quick short-range uppercut. Fully invulnerable on startup, but is in counter hit state during recovery. Launches the opponent into the air. Can be cancelled into a super jump on contact, making it completely safe, although it only allows a combo on counter hit. EX - - - - - - - The EX version recovers faster and launches the opponent higher up, leaving them in a class 1 juggle state.

Whirlwind Fist 214A File:Chaosgen xhd 214P.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd 236PP.png EX version EX version

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - 214A results in a launching left hook that hits overhead, while 214C results in an elbow slam that hits overhead and causes a hard knockdown. 214A launches the opponent, but requires a super or a MAX cancel to combo. EX - - - - - - - The EX version performs a twin hammer fist blow that knocks the opponent down slower than 214C, allowing it to pick up into supers or some follow-ups with a MAX cancel.

Snow Wolf Blade 214K File:Chaosgen xhd 214K.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd 214KK.png EX version EX version	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - A spinning heel kick borrowed from Bryan Fury. Launches on hit, but requires meter to combo. Seems to have some lower-body invulnerability. EX - - - - - - - The EX version gains extra range.

Demon Wolf Headhunter 236K File:Chaosgen xhd 236K.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd 236KK.png EX version EX version

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - An extremely long auto-combo special. Both A and C versions have different moves. They don't combo all the way through, but some of the hits in the middle are overheads, so if your opponent is sleeping, this might wake them up. Generally not worth using, though. EX - - - - - - - Gains one extra hit compared to the normal versions and will connect with crouching opponents all the way through, but otherwise has similar properties to the normal versions. Still not worth using.

Twin Stars of Sirius 623K File:Chaosgen xhd 623K.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd 623KK.png EX version EX version

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - 623B results in a low rush into an upwards kick. The startup does have an extremely low profile, so you can use it to go under fireballs and other moves. It is also a pretty decent reversal, but this move will not fully hit a crouching opponent unless you spend meter on the EX version. Mainly sees use as a combo extender after 236P. 623D results in a jumping reverse roundhouse kick. Launches, but you need to spend meter after to combo from it. This move is an overhead, though. EX - - - - - - -

Wolf Tail Kick j.236K File:Chaosgen xhd j236K.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd j236KK.png EX version EX version	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - It's a divekick, alright. Can be tiger knee'd, but doesn't hit overhead. B version moves at a steeper angle than the D version. EX - - - - - - - EX version launches for a juggle.

Earth Wolf Shock 22B File:Chaosgen xhd 22B.png Normal version Normal version	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - A stomping attack. It only hits OTG. Gives up oki, but useful to tack on some extra damage at the end of a combo.

Super Attacks

Wolf Pack Combination 236236P File:Chaosgen xhd 236236P.png Normal version Normal version File:Chaosgen xhd 236236PP.png EX version EX version	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel Normal - - - - - - - Throws out rapid-fire punches before ending with a launching move that knocks down. EX - - - - - - - EX version ends with Wolf Drop, allowing a combo follow-up.

Revenge Attack

Eye of the Wolf 236236KK File:Chaosgen xhd 236236KK.png	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Cancel - - - - - - - UUWOOOAAAGGGHHHH. Xiahou Dun screams while clutching his cybernetic eye, activating a brand new ability: effectivley MAX Mode again, except he can also cancel normals and specials into his command normals. Part of what gives Xiahou Dun such flexible combos
