Under Night In-Birth/UNIST/Waldstein

“

He rages. In order to protect his master, the beast will raze buildings and crush trees with his own two hands. To stand by his master's side, he takes on the curse of eternity, transcending the power of mankind. On this quiet night, he thinks about his master, and how he may die on the battlefield one day...

”

Story

A mysterious old beast, who has lived centuries. With ties to the "Night Blade", he operates by the Princess's side. Speaking of the princess, she has recently taken a somewhat useless high school student under her wing, leaving the beast perplexed. All the while, Wald and his comrades are under attack from a mysterious organization, Amnesia. "The Hollow Night is upon us, and we will settle this", says a high ranking member of said organization. In hopes that he may protect his master, Wald decides to head into the belly of the lion's den, alone. Fulfilling his promise to Linne's brother, Kuon.

“

Battles are cruel...? The words of pansies with no strength. You can only curse your own weakness!

”

Gameplay

Though cursed with possibly the worst ground movement to ever grace a 2D fighter, Waldstein still gets surprising mobility through the universal Assault mechanic, and is able to more than make up for his lack of speed with the absurd range of his normals. Waldstein is more than capable of switching between halfscreen pressure, grappler, and zoning through his normals as the situation dictates, though he still has issues with more dedicated long-range characters such as Merkava and Vatista.

From brkrdave's Waldstein Primer

Strengths	Weaknesses
Huge normals. Strong offense. Best command throw in the game. Many defensive options with meter.	Bad mobility on the ground. Slow normals.

Frame Data Help
Header	Tooltip
Damage	Damage done by this attack. (x) denotes combined damage [x] denotes minimum damage
Guard	The way this move must be blocked. High = Can block standing Low = Can block crouching Mid = Can block standing or crouching Air = Can block in the air Air Shield = Can block in the air while shielding Unblockable = Cannot be blocked
Cancel	Actions this move can be canceled into on hit or block, unless specially noted. N = Normal Cancelable SP = Special Cancelable EX = EX/IW Cancelable CS = Chain Shift UNQ = Unique (See description) TH = Throw Cancelable X [hit only] = Hit canceleable only X [whiff OK] = Can additionally be cancelled during whiff
Property	Special properties this move has. Click on the property to navigate to an explanation.
Cost	The resources this move costs to use. GRD = GRD Blocks EXS = EXS Meter Vorpal = Vorpal GRD Break = Causes GRD Break
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).
Invul	The frames where this move cannot be hit by an attribute. Full = Fully invincible Strike = Strike invincible Throw = Throw invincible Head = Head invincible Foot = Foot invincible Dive = Dive invincible Projectile = Projectile invincible

Normal Moves

Standing Normals

5A

5A	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 210 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 8 3 19 29 -6 - Waldstein performs an elbow drop. Despite appearances, this hits mid, not overhead. Tied with 2A as Waldstein's fastest normal, 5A lacks the horizontal range of its counterpart but has a surprisingly high hitbox for catching jumpers.

5B

5B

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 610 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 13 3 21 36 -6 - Waldstein does a standing horizontal swipe with his claws. This is the longest-reaching normal in Waldstein's moveset, and it is the only one capable of reaching opponents from round opening positions. However, it hits at a rather middling height, and will tend to miss against jumps and air Assaults.

5C

5C

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 720 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 2 22 38 -5 13~16 Null Projectile Waldstein slashes with his claw upward at full length. Fairly strong for generic zoning, 5C has solid range both horizontally and vertically, along with being one of the normals capable of slashing away projectiles. Slower than 2C but with better horizontal reach, 5C is good as an early denial to all manner of approach attempts but quickly loses effectiveness when already on the defense.

Crouching Normals

2A

2A

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 210 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 8 2 18 27 -8 - Waldstein performs a crouching, slightly upward-angled swipe. Has much better horizontal reach than 5A, but tends to miss most aerial opponents even with its upward curve. It's important to note that Waldstein has a 1A, so you will need to release the back input lest you accidentally get that instead.

2B

2B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 520 Low - - - Strike, Foot Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 11 4 17 31 -5 - Waldstein punches downward at the opponent's legs. Has almost as much reach as 5B, and is Waldstein's only low-hitting attack. Good for forcing players to sit still or get tagged trying to back off. Misses against pretty much anyone in any proper aerial state.

2C

2C	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 710 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 12 5 27 43 -14 10~13 Head, 10~16 Null Projectile Waldstein performs a crouching, extremely vertical upward slash. 2C has uses for possessing greater vertical reach than 5C and hitting earlier as well, but is unable to catch opponents from as far away. Can cut projectiles.

Air Normals

j.A

j.A	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 210 High, Air Shield - - - Strike, Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 9 3 16 [2 on landing] 27 Varies - Waldstein slashes slightly downward with a claw. Marginally faster than j.B, but more horizontal as well. Done immediately from an Assault, will whiff most grounded opponents and allow for a clean 360 mixup, or an "empty" jump low.

j.B

j.B	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 410 High, Air Shield - - - Strike, Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 6 13 [3 on landing] 28 Varies - Waldstein punches downward with the claw opposite his j.A. Fairly decent as a jump-in attack. Done early from an Assault, doesn't give combos from non-counterhit but is very difficult to anti-air on reaction.

j.C

j.C

j.C Normal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 610 High, Air Shield - - - Strike, Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 3 14 [4 on landing] 31 Varies 14~17 Null Projectile j.[C] Increase Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 810 High, Air Shield - - - Strike, Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 26 3 15 [4 on landing] 43 Varies 25~28 Null Projectile Waldstein turns sideways and performs a huge downward slash with his claw. More general-purpose as an air-to-ground and air-to-air attack than j.B, but also much slower, making him vulnerable to shield punishes and anti-airs. Can cut projectiles. Increase version will ground-slam the opponent on hit.

Command Normals

1A

1A

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 456 Mid - - - Foot Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 9 2 14 24 +2 - Waldstein performs a crouching elbow drop. Once again, despite appearances, this does not hit low. Causes staggered down on hit. Due to being a command normal, it cannot cancel into normals, though it can link into 2A/5A and cancel into specials, if you're quick enough. Somewhat usable to frame-trap with if not for all of Waldstein's attacks being so slow anyway.

4B

4B

4B Near Grab Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1210 2-hit Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 22 5 8 42 +2 - 4B Far Shockwave Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 400 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 27 8 8 42 +4 - Waldstein slams his claw downward. On hit, Waldstein picks up the opponent, then headbutts them and causes staggered down state. On whiff, the downward slam still produces a shockwave that causes the same effects.

6C

6C

6C Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1400 Punch only: 1700 Mid Punch only: High - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 11 Punch only: 47 5, (31), 8 13 67 +5 - Waldstein swipes forward with his claw for a (blockable) grab. On whiff or block, he continues with the swipe to wind up for a secondary, huge punch that covers more distance than even his 5B and hits overhead. The grab causes him to throw the opponent upward and forward for a relatively high wallbounce that typically leads into 4B or 3C. The punch causes a more horizontal wallbounce that is difficult to follow up from.

3C

3C

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1500 Unblockable - - - Throw Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 2 27 38 +13 (hit) 8~11 Head Waldstein reaches upward in front of him with both claws for an anti-air grab. If he is able to catch, he crushes them in his claws, then throws them against the ground for a groundslam hit. While this would be an amazing neutral anti-air in many circumstances, Waldstein already has access to air-unblockable 2C and 5C, both of which have a much less avoidable hitbox and provide more follow-up potential. As it is, this is typically just seen as either a combo filler or a combo ender.

j.6C

j.6C "HOAAA!"	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 710 High, Air Shield - - - Strike, Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 4 11 [4 on landing] 24 Varies - Waldstein does a big forward punch. Wall-slams on hit. Usually combo filler for the standard re-jump BnB, though it has some merit as a very fast, horizontal air attack.

j.2C

j.2C

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 510 Mid, Air Shield - - - Strike, Head Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 7 Until Land [23 on landing] 44 -20 - Waldstein turns completely horizontal in the air and then launches himself with the momentum slightly for your typical grappler body splash. Extremely unsafe on whiff or block without Chain Shift. There might be some uses with the extra momentum bounce to get around certain kinds of zoning, but without Chain Shift it's still not worth the risk (or the minimal reward on success). Frame advantage is -20 on a standing Hyde.

Dash Moves

66B

66B

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 810 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 10 2 23 34 -13 - Waldstein slides forward slightly while swinging with a claw in a big horizontal slash. Deals good damage and can cancel into things such as 214B. Doesn't cover much distance, but at a range where Waldstein's normals are already a threat, 66B can push you even further in where things such as 2B and 5B would force you out of range. Fairly good to extend pressure with after blocked 214B.

66C

66C

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1110 2-hit Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 9 10, (2), 7 9 36 +7 First Hit Only: -10 - Waldstein leaps forward while thrusting a claw clenched into a fist forward that almost looks like an Assault j.6C. Like j.6C, it causes wallbounce on hit. Unlike j.6C, there's an initial hit before the punch and the attack cannot be air-shielded. *This is almost guaranteed to whiff on any grounded opponents, but has some great anti-air coverage. If you somehow get it to connect on the ground, you have significant advantage on block. Otherwise, you can use it kind of like j.A as an "empty jump" mixup, but it's much easier to get mashed out attempting such.

Universal Mechanics

Force Function

Ferzen Volf フェルゼンヴルフ B+C

B+C Normal Rock Pull Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1426 2-hit Rock: 810 Mid, Air - - 1 GRD Strike Rock: Projectile Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 13 3, (15), Until Rock Lands 31 66 -36 7~15, 34~35 Null Projectile B+C Vorpal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1563 2-hit Rock: 980 Mid, Air - - 0.5 GRD Strike Rock: Projectile Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 11 3, (15), Until Rock Lands 29 59 -31 Rock: Varies 6~13, 29~30 Null Projectile Waldstein picks up and then throws a rock. The rock has a hitbox when Waldstein picks it up, and then another one when he throws it. Hold 4 or 6 to make him throw the rock closer or farther, respectively. Causes wallbounce while in vorpal allowing free conversion. Counts as a special, for the purposes of canceling into. Has a bit of shock value and can steal rounds off of low health stalemates, but is otherwise just a random gimmick that doesn't have much use. As Force Functions universally cost GRD, it's also a terrible idea to use this as in any sort of projectile spamming tactic.

Throw

Throw A+D	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1770 Unblockable - - - Throw Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 4 1 22 26 +42 (hit) - Has more range than most normal throws. Causes hard, uncomboable knockdown. Sends a relatively far distance midscreen, making it difficult to set up oki off of unless throwing into the corner.

Guard Thrust

Guard Thrust ガードスラスト 214D

214D Normal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid - Launch 100 EXS, GRD Break Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 15 5 26 45 -12 1~15 Full, 16~45 Full on hit 214D Vorpal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid - Launch Vorpal Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 12 5 26 42 -12 1~15 Full, 16~45 Full on hit Blows the opponent away on hit. Usable only during blockstun. Generally better to use while in Vorpal as it's faster and costs less resources.

Veil Off

Veil Off ヴェールオフ A+B+C

A+B+C Normal Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch, Wall Bounce, GRD Break 100+ EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 20 2 [7 (3 on hit) on landing] 58 (54 on hit) -13 1~30 Full A+B+C Full Charge Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 0 Mid, Air - Launch, Wall Bounce, GRD Break 100+ EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 68 2 [7 (2 on hit) on landing] 108 (103 on hit) -14 1~91 Full Universal reversal that blows the opponent back on hit. 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. Airborne: 1~25. CVO cancel is treated the same as EX cancel, you can only CVO when you can EX and the opponent is in hit/blockstun. 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. 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.

Special Moves

Eisen Nagel

Eisen Nagel アイゼンネーゲル 236X Iron Claw Iron Claw

236A Fast Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1520 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 17 3 29 48 -20 - Waldstein does a downward circular slam with his claw, causing groundslam on hit. A version strikes quickly but is quite unsafe on block. 236B Overhead Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1520 High - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 26 3 25 53 -16 Strike Waldstein does a downward circular slam with his claw, causing ground-slam on hit. Has some use in combos, though almost always forces meter usage to continue afterward. B version is slower and hits overhead. This is quite unsafe on block. 236C EX Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1750 Mid - - 100 EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+17 3 21 41 -6 1~3 Throw C version wallbounces instead. C version is about the same speed as B version (in addition to having a long super flash), and only hits mid, but is much safer on block, in exchange for the meter usage.

Wirbelwind

Wirbelwind ヴィルベルヴィント 623X Whirlwind Whirlwind

A and B versions each have 3 hits, while C version has 4 hits. B version hits slightly sooner, but A starts with a higher hitbox. C version has some use as a reversal option due to its startup invulnerability.

Durchbohren

Durchbohren ドレーエン ドルヒボーレン 360X/720X Spinning Drill Spinning Drill

360A Close Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1910 720: 2010 Unblockable - - - Throw Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 3 1 29 32 +24 (hit) 1~3 Throw All three of these will always whiff against aerial opponents, and will be gold throws if done to an opponent while they're still in blockstun or recovering from staggered down state. Doing a 720 instead of 360 will make the grab deal more damage. Waldstein's standard grappler SPD-esque command throw. A version has fairly low reach comparable to his normal throw, but also has faster startup than a normal throw, by a two frames. 360B Far Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1910 720: 2010 Unblockable - - - Throw Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 6 2 36 43 +24 (hit) 1~7 Throw The B version. Will always be a gold throw when used in neutral. Rivals the reach of his B normals. Unless done in a combo, will always be a gold throw. 360X EX Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 2332 720: 2410 Unblockable - - 100 EXS Throw Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+8 2 29 39 +24 (hit) 1~10 Full C version has startup invulnerability along with the reach of B version. The slowest of the versions, and can be jumped AFTER the super flash.

Verderben

Verderben フェアデルーベン 214X

214A Fast Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1220 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 16 5 12 32 +1 15~20 Null Projectile Waldstein slams both claws together in a thunderclap that produces a "projectile" of sorts. The A version is too slow to get a completely tight blockstring out of from any normals, but is also + on block, and launches on hit. 214A and 214B are great for applying pressure due to their advantage on block, though with the long startup being predictable about when you throw them in will lead to getting mashed out before the clap happens. 214B Slow Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1410 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 22 4 10 35 +4 20~25 Null Projectile Waldstein slams both claws together in a thunderclap that produces a "projectile" of sorts. B version is sitll too slow to get a completely tight blockstring out of from any normals, but is + on block, and launches on hit. 214[B] Increase Slow Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 1620 Mid - - - Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 29 4 10 42 +7 27~32 Null Projectile Waldstein slams both claws together in a thunderclap that produces a "projectile" of sorts. B version is sitll too slow to get a completely tight blockstring out of from any normals, but is + on block, and launches on hit. 214C EX Fast Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 2150 Mid, Air - - 100 EXS Strike Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 7 6 13 25 -1 5~12 Null Projectile, 1~3 Throw Waldstein slams both claws together in a thunderclap that produces a "projectile" of sorts. The C version is extremely fast, but is air-blockable. On hit for the C version, Waldstein grabs the opponent and slams them into the ground, then performs a belly-to-back suplex for a side-switch.

Verderben (Air)

Both A and B versions result in a somersaulting piledriver on catch. The j.214 series don't do much damage on their own, and are typically seen as simple combo enders, but on a hard read j.214 starter can lead to very damaging Chain Shift combos. Aerial C version leaves Waldstein suspended in the air for an additional 14 frames before landing In the air, the C version causes him to pause briefly in the air as he grabs. The C version has Waldstein fall to the ground and go through the same motions as his grounded C version on hit.

Sturmangriff

Minimum charge time is 38 frames Able to catch airborne and knocked down opponents during a combo On whiff, Waldstein bounces off the wall and is left in a very punishable state. On hit, the A and B versions slam the opponent into the wall, then Waldstein turns around and carries them all the way to the other wall. Waldstein moves with a surprising amount of speed with this move, and can catch people off guard in neutral, but it is still typically a very risky option in neutral. As a combo ender, the guaranteed full corner carry is good, but always allows the opponent an air-tech, sometimes even allowing them to air-tech past you out of the corner. For that reason, Chain Shifting into a 3C or 4B helps maintain advantage afterward. The C version adds one more full screen carry, slamming them against the original wall for a third hit. Notably, this grab is still able to catch opponents in an aerial juggle state or off a groundslam.

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute 3115 Unblockable - - 200 EXS Throw Startup Active Recovery Overall Advantage Invul 1+12 2 36 50 +45 (hit) 1~14 Full, 15~31 Throw A huge command throw that costs all 200 meter. Able to catch airborne and knocked down opponents during a combo Easier to combo into than 360C since, like the [4]6 series, it is able to catch opponents in ground-slam or aerial juggle state. Always ends with both characters in roughly round starting positions, regardless of where the move originally connected. Still typically inefficient for the meter cost, unless done at the end of a Veil Off combo. Like 360C, this move has startup invulnerability. It's also 3 frames slower and has three times as many freeze-frames to give the opponent time to think about it if you made a wrong call and they were just sitting and baiting for a reversal.

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.
