Under Night In-Birth/UNICLR/Hyde

“

He wakes up -- In order to free the girl from the chains of eternity that seal her fate. The power burned within him, the "Void". The blade he carries, the insulator. Each day became lost in a sea of banality, living under the threat of the Night. The Hollow Night approaches, and where reality and fantasy meet, this young boy takes a stand... to reclaim everything, and return it to nothingness.

”

Story

An ordinary child from an ordinary high school, who is the protagonist of the story. He was saved by Linne, while under attack by a Void. As a result, he awakened to his power of EXS, and Linne has demanded his help. Since then, Linne has made Hyde's house hers, as well, having Hyde do her bidding. All the while, when the Hollow Night falls on the world, she acts on her own, not wanting to expose him to danger. In order to save her, however, Hyde takes matters into his own hands.

“

Her will... Everything she wanted, I'm doing in her stead. That's all.

”

Gameplay

Being the protagonist of the game, Hyde has the usual "shoto" tools associated with the role (fireball, meterless reversal, etc). He performs well at all ranges with tools like Black Orbiter to cover his approach and Shadow Scare to counter zoners or other long range attacks, while moves like Vacant Shift help rack up damage and provide great corner carry to quickly put his opponent in the corner where Hyde truly excels with his strong rushdown game. His fast normals and varied ways to make himself safe or plus on block through rebeats or spending meter make him difficult to contest. On top of all that, his sword normals do chip damage, meaning that even if the opponent blocks all of your strings, damage will still rack up quickly.

On the flipside, he has limited ways of actually opening the opponent up. A decent spread of natural frame traps and an overhead in charged Strict Daze helps, but Hyde has undeniably subpar mixups, relying mostly on keeping the opponent locked down. In addition, the more knowledgeable the opponent, the more likely they'll use defensive options like shielding or Veil Off to invalidate Hyde's pressure and get themselves out of the corner.

From Infinity's Hyde primer:

Strengths

Weaknesses

Strong mid-range buttons. Great corner carry off of combos. Strong pressure while in the corner backed up by high damage confirms. Can combo off of his throw in the corner. Fast backdash that complements his throw mixup game well. Gigantic 3C anti-air, allowing Hyde to anti-air almost anything. Fast DP that covers a lot of space both in front and above him. Has various ways to make himself plus on block and continue pressure. Can fight against zoners and characters with big buttons well using 22X.

Lacks a fast grounded overhead. Many of his moves have a fair bit of recovery, especially 6B, making him prone to being whiff punished. Lacks good stagger windows on many of his normals. Only has 2A as a good whiff rebeat option. Can’t meaty with 2A off of combos that end midscreen if the opponent techs backwards.

Airborne: 1~52, Standing: 53~59. For Full Charge version: Airborne: 1~101, Standing: 102~108. 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). You can hold down A+B+C to delay activation and gain a few extra benefits, but doing so is highly unrecommended unless trying to run the clock as this move already has a long start up as is. A+B+C Cross Cast Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch 100+ EXS, Vorpal Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 2 4 20 25 +3 1~19 Full Cancels an action and launches the opponent high into the air on hit.

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. Grants an additional bounce if both have been used in the combo so far. If the opponent does end up hitting the ground during the combo, damage is prorated. Pressing A+B+C can be used for a shortcut for Infinite Worth. Used mostly as a way to tack on extra damage, or to reliably close out the round.

Can be used as an anti-air, but 3C is usually the better option since it's far less risky. Can only whiff cancel upon landing. On hit, can cancel into j.236C and can lead to a full combo if 623A is used as a starter. First hit can also be EX canceled on hit or block. 236C and 22C are the best options there since they both make Hyde safe on block and can easily convert into a combo on hit. Generally used for ending combos with EX moves. 623B Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1763 Mid CS [hit only] Launch - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 5 12 55 [17 on landing] 71 -27 1-16 Full Fast upward slash. Hyde's main reversal. Reaches higher, and does more damage than the A version. Highly punishable if blocked or whiffed. Great anti-air and combo ender.

Can be plus in the corner and at certain ranges midscreen if the sword and flames connect. Flames cannot spawn off-screen. 22C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1749 Low (First hit) Mid, Air (Projectiles) CS [whiff OK] Launch 100 EXS Strike (First Hit) Projectile (Projectiles) Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+13 - 30 49 Varies [+8～+80] 1-3 Throw Hyde stabs the ground and flames erupt the ground a short distance ahead and keeps moving forward like a wave.

Gyre Vortex 終焉ヘ誘ウ螺旋ノ檻 （ジャイルボルテクス） 41236D

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 2433 Mid - Knockdown 200 EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+12 6(2)10(2)10 55 97 -18 1-55 Full Hyde stabs the ground and is surrounded by a red light. Reversal; limited use given the high cost, but gives very strong reward on hit. Can combo off it to offset its underwhelming base damage, allowing most any combo to easily hit 4K damage anywhere. Has uses as an anti-air as well.

Infinite Worth EXS

Raging Roar 天地斬リ裂ク荒神ノ咆哮 （レイジングロア） A+B+C+D

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 3760 [Min: 1316] Mid, Air - Knockdown 200 EXS, Vorpal or GRD Break Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+15 6 46 67 -25 1~26 Full Hyde becomes surrounded by a pillar of light which goes into a cinematic on hit. Must have less than 30% health (orange health) to use. After the cinematic, characters will be moved to the middle of the stage, regardless of where they were positioned before. Due to the cost, it is usually not recommended to use this move unless it will kill the opponent.
