Under Night In-Birth/UNICLR/Yuzuriha

“

She doesn't think. She runs away from her laws, and chooses to be alone, living life as she pleases, not bound by anyone. Tonight, too, is nothing more than a whimsical stroll. The naked sword is seldom drawn, but when it is, the blade never lies. Everything is reflected in its clear glimmer... And, her true self lies beyond the freedom she attained. The self she has lost.

”

Story

A rather dangerous looking girl who wields as blade as tall as herself. She is a descendant of the protectors of this domain, but her family has abandoned that task, with the exception of the single blade she wields. Yuzuriha herself has heard of Voids and the Night Blade, but finds the entire concept ridiculous -- her parents failed to pass on the tradition. One night, she takes the heirloom sword, and heads into the Hollow Night, where all the In-Births are said to gather. Why must she go out tonight, you ask? Well, because it seems like fun, of course!

“

I don't care what happened in the past... I'm me, and you're you. Isn't that enough?

”

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: Barebones offense relies on basic frame traps and strike/throw/anti-OS. She has no standing overhead, lacks forward moving normals, and struggles to punish reckless shields. Subpar dash requires balancing pressure resets with returning to neutral or using more committal options. Trouble Spending Resources: Cannot spend resources to extend offense or force guessing games beyond using Chain Shift for plus frames. She can struggle to come back from a life deficit or quickly close a round. Poor Defensive Tools: Subpar range on normals for their startup, no meterless reversal, and limited throw OS options. 214C is slow, whiffs point blank, and the first hit whiffs on most crouching opponents. Reliant on universal options (Shield, Guard Shield, Veil Off, Guard Thrust, IW/IWEX) to escape pressure. Struggles With GRD Control: Zoning bleeds GRD against patient opponents, while Concentration leaves them free to act. She struggles to punish good use of Shield and Guard Shield, and she has no unique tools to build or steal GRD.

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.

Frame Data Help

Attribute	Attributes of the attack. Mostly used in situations involving invul. There are two sets of attributes: Strike/Throw and Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile Every move has a Strike/Throw attribute, but doesn't always have Head/Foot/Dive/Projectile attribute. --- Strike = Strike (Anything that isn't a Throw is a Strike) Throw = Throw --- Head = Head (Most jump normals) Foot = Foot Dive = Some air specials Projectile = Projectile
Startup	Frame when the first hitbox is present. + denotes the frames before and after super flash.
Active	The amount of frames that this move will have a hitbox. (x) denotes frame gaps where there are no hitboxes is present. Due to varied blockstuns, (x) frames are difficult to use to determine punish windows. Generally the larger the numbers, the more time you have to punish.
Recovery	Frames that this move has after the active frames if not canceled.
Overall	Frames that this move takes from start to finish before the character returns to neutral.
Advantage	The difference in frames where you can act before your opponent when this move is blocked (assuming the move isn't canceled and the first active frame is blocked). If the opponent uses a move with startup equal or less than this move's advantage, it will result in opponent hitting that move. ±x~±x denotes a possible range of advantage. The left value is when the active frames hit sooner (generally worse) and the right value is for when the active frames hit later (generally better).

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.

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.

Yuzuriha's only stance low. Launches at a low angle on hit, giving it very favorable properties on counterhit and in trades. Also used for rebeating given sufficient space. j.6A Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 580 Mid/Air SP, EX, CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 Stance: 5 3 25 D cancel: 24 Stance: 18 [12 (11 D-Cancelled) on landing] 43 (42 D-Cancelled) -10 D cancel:-9 Stance: -4 - 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. j.6B Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 580 Mid/Air SP, EX, CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 Stance: 5 3 25 D cancel: 24 Stance: 18 [12 (11 D-Cancelled) on landing] 43 (42 D-Cancelled) -10 D cancel:-9 Stance: -4 - Similar to 6B. Hits the opponent straight outwards. Mostly used in combos. Using this slightly above TK height will cover many airborne attack vectors while still hitting crouchers. j.6C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 580 Mid/Air SP, EX, CS - - Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 Stance: 5 3 25 D cancel: 24 Stance: 18 [12 (11 D-Cancelled) on landing] 43 (42 D-Cancelled) -10 D cancel:-9 Stance: -4 - Slashes at a slight downward angle. Excellent neutral tool, easy to confirm from, and also useful in combos. These slashes are a staple part of Yuzuriha's gameplan. Good for poking at midrange, frame trapping, and as a whiffed rebeat from 236X to improve frame advantage. Very fast to hit and recover while in stance. Cancelable into other stance attacks and stance jump through the entire recovery duration on hit and block. Using one of these moves while in stance will consume the corresponding stance mark. Because of the nature of Yuzuriha's stance (explained in the Special Moves section), it is possible, in stance only, to do all three slashes simply by pressing the corresponding button(s) with no direction; e.g., 6A 5B 5C or 6B 5A 5C.

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 720 Mid SP, EX, CS - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 17 3 24 43 -9 7~14 Head Yuzuriha steps back while swinging her coat. 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

Knocks airborne enemies to the ground, with a good amount of untechable time to allow for followup attacks after Yuzuriha lands.

Used in many of her combos to knock the opponent down and away for spaced followup sequences, or as a knockdown ender in the corner. Not very good in pressure due to the awkward position it leaves you in and inability to cancel afterwards if shielded. Extremely punishable on whiff.

Can hold B+C to delay the strike, or release a button quickly to fake an attack. 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. Blocked FF > dash cancel is +7 in stance and 0 when D canceled. j.B+C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 850 (890 Base with Vorpal) Mid/Air SP, EX, CS - 1 GRD Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 18 5 23 D cancel: 22 Stance: 12 Landing: 11 45 (44 D-Cancelled) -11 D cancel: -10 Stance: -1 - 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, as well as slightly different launch properties. Also dash cancelable as of cl-r 1.03, but unlike grounded FF you're very minus afterwards.

An unblockable attack that reaches farther than the uncharged version. Startup reduced by 10f in Vorpal. Has a visual tell 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.

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.

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.

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. 236C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1754 [Min: 510] Mid, Air CS [hit only] - 100 EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+13 Stance: 1+6 5 38 D cancel 37 Stance: 30 54 -16 D cancel: -16 Stance: -8 1~3 Throw 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. j.236A Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 950 Mid, Air UNQ, EX [whiff OK], CS [whiff OK] - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 22 Stance: 10 2 22 [11 on landing] 56 -5 D cancel: -4 Stance: +2 - A long, downward-angled slash, highly effective as an air-to-ground zoning tool. Launches the opponent similarly to 236A, but with less frame advantage. Also used in some combo routes. j.236B Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 950 Mid, Air UNQ, EX [whiff OK], CS [whiff OK] - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 22 Stance: 10 2 22 [11 on landing] 56 0 D cancel: +1 Stance: +7 - Slashes horizontally, akin to its grounded counterpart. j.236C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1642 Mid, Air CS [hit only] - 100 EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+18 Stance: 1+9 5 23 [11 on landing] 56 -1 D cancel: 0 Stance: +6 - 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 950 base damage, as the next attack base damage is 700, and for any subsequent attacks in stance their base damage is 400. 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.

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.

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.

Stance

Iki Seishin no Kamae (Stance) 威気静心之構 After ★ Moves This is the Stance This is the Stance

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - - - - - 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

Togiri 跡切 D while in Stance

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - - - - - 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. Note that 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.

Can be performed both on the ground and in the air.

Stance Jump

Hazumi 風越 7/8/9 while in Stance	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 3 - - 23 - - Stance jump.

Stance Dodge

Sazanami 流漣 22 while in Stance Ground Ground Air Air

22 Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - - Stance Held: 33 - 1-17 Strike/Projectile 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. j.22 Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul - - - 28 - - Air Sazanami functions much the same as the ground version, but gains 16f invul on successful dodge in addition to the 15f pause.

Sougetsu Ittou-Ryu Ougi: Kashou 双月一刀流奥義：華生 41236D First First Second Second Third Third

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 3033 [Min: 1023] Mid, Air - - 200 EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+12 3(20)3(31)6 72 147 -30 1~31/61~92 Full 32~60/93~99 Strike 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.

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.
