Story

Yuzuriha is a member of the Dual Moon clan--a group of warriors that split off from the Night Blade long ago.

She currently serves as the guardian of the shrine meant to protect her town from the forces of the Night.
Yuzuriha fought many battles during Amnesia's reign of terror, eventually succeeding in suppressing them.
One day, however, Kuon the Aeon--the former leader of the Night Blade--appeared before her.
His presence reminded her of a great incident in the distant past that forced the schism between the Night Blade and the Dual Moon clan.
Though Yuzuriha herself has no direct connection to this ancient scandal, she decides to confront Kuon to get payback for her clan and to clear all doubt within herself.

"Somethin' just don't sit right with me..."

“

Now then, lessee which one of us takes down that Aeon brat first!

”

Gameplay

Yuzuriha is a mobile zoning character that controls much of the screen with her long sword slashes. She constantly shifts between zoning, maneuvering around the opponent's options, and going on the offensive. Yuzuriha can convert almost any hit into consistent damage and corner carry, as well as combo off her throw. Stable damage output from nearly anywhere means she's a constant threat.

Yuzuriha's excellent neutral game is balanced by limited tools on offense and defense. She plays a very basic strike/throw offense and must often rely on universal mechanics for defense. She has few viable tricks to catch experienced opponents off guard, so she needs to draw the opponent into playing her game to win.

Yuzuriha enters a quick-draw stance after using certain actions. Attacks in stance are faster, safer, and can cancel into other actions somewhat freely. Each ability used consumes a stance mark, so her available options decrease until she exits stance. She also trades her normal movement options and ability to block for a slow walk, a teleport dash, a command jump, and a dodge. Her combination of range and frame data is unmatched in stance. She has no overheads or throw in stance, but her frame traps, mobility, and ability to punish predictable opponents demand respect.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Oppresive Neutral Dominance: Excellent space control from both ground and air. Yuzuriha has many safe tools to poke at the opponent and stuff movement or counterattacks from midscreen, and her 236X slashes cover most of the screen. She also has strong movement options, with a good forward and backward walk speed, while multiple burst movement options in stance help her reposition effectively to maintain control, avoid counterattacks, or even close in to start offense. Stance: Stance greatly improves her space control, with attacks in stance having faster startup, better frame advantage, and relatively free cancel options within her remaining marks. Challenging Yuzuriha during stance is very risky. Great conversions: Reliable meterless conversions off almost any hit for consistent damage output and corner carry. Throw: Can combo off throw for additional damage, carry, and to run the clock and help secure Vorpal.

Limited Mix-Up: Offense relies on basic frame traps and strike/throw/anti-OS. She has no standing overhead, has limited stagger windows on up close normals, and struggles to punish reckless shields. Subpar dash requires balancing pressure resets with returning to neutral or using more committal options. Unconventional Defense: Her A normals are short but fast, B and C normals are slow but huge. Her reversal is a slow metered 214C that whiffs against up close opponents so it must be used to call out spaced frame traps. Her parry is slow and loses to all lows and anything hitting at her feet but has huge reward when successful. She has a great rising normal in her j2C that can be used to call out pressure resets and throws. Her jump options are plentiful against spaced opponents thanks to her air slashes and teleports. Every successful mashout can lead to a side switch.

Unique Trait	Enters a stance after using certain moves (marked on this page with ★). Yuzuriha can stay in stance by holding down a button after the move. There are 4 stance icons representing A, B, C, and D below Yuzuriha's life bar. During stance, the icon's color indicates the status of each button. Black: The button is unavailable for use. (Buttons become unavailable after use.) Blue: The button is available for use. Pink: The button is currently held to maintain stance. If no button is held down, the game will default to D hold until move recovery ends. If not holding a button at this time, she will exit stance.
Vorpal Trait	Force Function startup decreased. [Increased] Force Function startup decreased. Aerial Force Function damage increased. Aerial Force Function range increased.

The Great Wall. Yuzuriha performs a high slash, covering a large space above and in front of her. Excellent for controlling space and checking approaches. Has some anti-air properties, but the head invulnerability starts late so it can be difficult to use defensively. Hitbox has a deadzone above her head in the space immediately in front of her, so good spacing is necessary to catch opponents high up. Throw/Assault OS with 5C~1AD (Plink C with A+D). -1 on block with rebeat to 5A.

Yuzuriha slashes low across the ground, hitting twice. Very good horizontal hitbox and the long active frames are effective for catching backdashes, but long duration makes it a very committal option that's often better used in pressure and combos than neutral. Knocks down on hit. -1 on block with rebeat to 5A, can only cancel on the second hit.

Yuzuriha performs an arcing slash across her body. Trades some of j.B's horizontal reach for superior vertical coverage. Great for spaced jump-ins and falling attacks where j.B may not hit low enough, as well as damage and stability in some combo routes. Hitbox extends slightly behind her, so it's a good option if you're facing the wrong way as you come down over an opponent.

Similar to 6A, but airborne. Yuzuriha's only air attack that hits significantly above her, and thus a situationally valuable air-to-air. Also used in certain combo routes, usually as part of a setup for Veil Off.

Yuzuriha steps back while swinging her coat. Launches opponents on hit and pulls them in on block. While pulling her coat across her, she will parry mid and high attacks that hit the upper half of her body. Any successful parry renders her invulnerable for the remainder of the move's duration.

On successful parry of a strike, she pulls the opponent in with her coat and launches them upwards. Against objects (Azhi, Thanatos, etc) and projectiles, the vacuum effect will not trigger and she can instead special cancel the recovery. Invulnerability does not carry over on cancel. If the vacuum effect does not trigger, a hitbox activates frame 17. This hitbox has limited range, but is a very strong starter.

F7 parry activation and head invuln makes it a situational, but effective antiair. Can OS with 4B~AD. Cannot parry lows, regardless of hitbox.

Parries incoming attacks frames 7~14

A staple tool in many of Yuzuriha's better combo routes, typically after 236A. Also useful for faking an overhead from assault to bait shields.

Yuzuriha performs an advancing slash similar to 5B. Faster than her other B normals and with better range, 66B is useful in pressure, confirms, and even on defense.

Yuzuriha performs a leaping two-hit slash off the opponent. Airborne starting frame 6, with some lower hurtbox retraction starting on the same frame. The speed, hurtbox shift, and airborne state make it an effective throw OS crush. Can be canceled on either hit.

The first hit pops the opponent up slightly on hit for extended combos and is used in many of her midscreen combos. It also puts her at a good height for using j.FF, j.236X, and j.214X in pressure, though all of these options leave a gap on block. The second hit knocks opponents down and sends Yuzuriha flying back, and is used for some combo followups or as a corner ender to secure hard knockdown.

Unlike most of her stance abilities, startup does not decrease if already in stance. Dash cancelable during startup as well as on hit and block, along with the jump and stance attack cancels common to other stance attacks.

Fully charged version of Yuzuriha's Force Function. An unblockable attack that reaches farther than the uncharged version. Startup reduced by 10f in Vorpal. Flashes 25f before the attack activates, at which point you are fully committed to this attack. Mostly a gimmick that serves to limit FF charge duration, since you're unable to force opponents into taking the hit. Jump or backdash when you see the small flash during her charge in order to escape.

Air version of Yuzuriha's Force Function. Covers a lot of space both horizontally and vertically, so it's nice for countering approaches. Sometimes used as combo filler for greater damage at the cost of some GRD. Carries previous jump momentum; you can also cancel any prior momentum by plinking the input (j.6B~C or j.6C~B). Gains a larger hitbox and increased damage in Vorpal. Also dash cancelable, but unlike grounded FF you're very minus after: -16 after 66 and -15 on 44. Loses all options on shield except EX cancels, dash, and dodge.

Startup and head invulnerability are accelerated by 1f both in and out of stance when Yuzuriha is in Vorpal.

15	2	29 D cancel: 28 Stance: 20	45 (44 D-Cancelled)	-6 D cancel: -5 Stance: 0	-

An alternative Force Function attack. Yuzuriha dashes forward into a short slash. Launches the opponent straight up on hit, similar to but slightly lower than 236A. Used in many of Yuzuriha's most damaging midscreen routes, and offers good carry as well. 0 on block in stance; can cancel into other attacks, jump, and stance dash at any point during the recovery. Can frame trap with it in pressure, but strong pushback and poor advantage on block limit its utility. Dash cancel is -6 in stance, -13 D canceled.

FF~A's dash travels up to about half screen. The slash's hitbox is relatively short and has limited vertical coverage, but in total the attack has comparable reach to her 236B. The dash will push opponents slightly at close range, or potentially pass through if they are moving forward. It will pass under jumps as well. The slash does not correct facing in these situations, causing the attack to whiff and leaving Yuzuriha vulnerable to counterattacks.

Universal reversal that blows the opponent back on hit.

• Requires at least 100 meter and puts you in Veil Off state which grants 20% more damage, but drains your meter at a slow rate.
• Meter drains much slower when health is below 30% (orange health).
• If your opponent has Vorpal state and is hit with Veil Off outside of a combo, they will lose Vorpal.

  • Including in the air.
• Requires at least 100 meter and consumes Vorpal state and drains meter at a fast rate.
• Has a lot of hitstun, making it easy to combo from.
• Allows for an additional bounce in the combo if two have been used so far, without hitting the combo bounce limit.
• Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth.

A long horizontal slash, controlling the ground across most of the screen. Sends the opponent flying away on hit, usually resulting in a wallbounce. A core tool in Yuzuriha's zoning and stance pressure. If cancelled into a whiffed 6X, becomes +7 if staying in stance or +1 if D-cancelled.

Three quick slashes, with a fourth hit as Yuzuriha sheathes her sword. You can cancel into other stance attacks after any slash. Combines the range of 236A and 236B with lower startup for a tremendous whiff punish tool that can confirm into high damage from anywhere on screen. Yields tremendously damaging combos on hit point blank, making it her best DP punish starter. Also commonly used to spend excess meter for damage at the end of combos without sacrificing position or frame advantage.

The inversion of its grounded counterpart, attacking space far forward and a bit below Yuzuriha. A bit slower and harder to utilize, especially at max range, but still effective for punishing careless attacks while airborne.

236A/B and j236A/B base damage depends on Yuzuriha's remaining stance marks. When entering stance they have full base damage, as the next attack base damage is reduced slightly, and for any subsequent attacks in stance their base damage is floored.

Yuzuriha can cancel Saki into a different Saki slash by simply pressing A, B, or C. C will replicate a B slash, rather than the EX version. Pressing the same button as the previous slash (or C after pressing B) will instead give a Kiri slash, since you cannot cancel a move into itself. To cancel into Kiri during stance, hold forward, down, back, downforward, or downback. Forward is commonly used, but down can make certain input sequences easier depending on the intended followup.

Yuzuriha leaps forward and rapidly slashes around her. 214A leaps high and slightly forward, j.214A is a more horizontal short leap forward, and 214B and j.214B are longer horizontal leaps. A staple tool in all of her combos, and j.214A/B are commonly used in pressure since they're +3 if performed low to the ground and D canceled. The meterless versions are cancelable through their entire recovery on block and have low recovery on whiff if Yuzuriha remains in stance. Not all options are immediately available on recovery in stance; this value reflects the earliest timing at which Yuzuriha can attack again after a whiff.

214C and j.214C are reversals, albeit slow and very situational ones. Neither hits point blank, and the initial hit can miss crouchers depending on the opponent and their spacing. However, the invulnerability extends partway into active frames and their disadvantage on block is much better than most reversals. Just don't whiff.

214C and j.214C lose invulnerability against A+D throws and airthrows (Eltnum, Akatsuki) starting frame 4, but retain invulnerability against command throws for the stated invul duration. 214C is airborne starting frame 11.

Teleport series. Each attempts to establish a specific position relative to the opponent, space permitting. A teleport spaces in front of and slightly away from the opponent, B moves behind them, and C moves behind and to the air (421C) or ground (j.421C).

Teleports are primarily for repositioning, not mix. Teleporting after 236X sets up a frame trap into 6X.

Yuzuriha's unique stance. Entered by holding any button after a stance move (marked with ★). Allows her to cancel specials into other specials, in addition to dramatically improving the frame data of said specials, but she can only use a limited set of attacks and spends a corresponding stance mark on each. Starts with A, B, C, and D stance marks. Any stance move used in stance will consume the associated mark. If a mark is consumed, Yuzuriha cannot use another special with the associated button until she resets her marks by leaving and re-entering stance, completing a full Shijima walk cycle, or dodging something with Sazanami. Cannot block, throw, tech, shield, or assault in stance, and her walk, dash, backdash, and jump also change.

A, B, and C holds are used in combos to maximize damage. D hold allows greater flexibility in neutral by leaving attacking inputs available. D hold is generally not used midcombo, as it penalizes combo damage on each stance attack using D hold after the starting hit. If a button is not held, Yuzuriha will default to D hold and remain in stance until she recovers from any input sequence.

D cancel, causes Yuzuriha to exit stance. If input before the very end of a stance action's recovery, it will improve that action's frame advantage over exiting stance naturally.

D cancel occurs when *releasing* the D input, aside from one special application. If you have already spent a mark, you can input an action corresponding to that input and press D at the same time as the action button to perform a "D-pair". This will initiate that action with out of stance startup and D canceled recovery. If holding D, the input is instead performed with D release as normal.

Stance dodge. Yuzuriha's closest alternative to blocking in stance. Getting hit by a strike or projectile during the dodge window triggers a 15f pause as she dodges the attack. Successful dodges recover all stance marks and allow her to cancel Sazanami's recovery into any stance attack. She is then invulnerable for 10f during recovery if not canceled; this does not cover her full recovery time.

Yuzuriha performs a dramatic three slash attack. IW is both a damaging meter dump and Yuzuriha's best reversal. Has a massive hitbox and generous invulnerability, beating out nearly every other reversal in the game. Very costly and punishable, so use it wisely. There is a gap between the second and third hits; Yuzuriha is still invulnerable during this time. Greedy opponents who mash between these hits will find themselves counterhit by the third slash, and you can then OTG for a short combo.
