Introduction

Bishamon (ビシャモン), the Cursed Armor

When browsing a shop selling antiquities, Bishamon uncovered a curious sword and armor that appeared to call to him. He was then surprised to find himself back in his home with the sword and armor beside him and with no recollection of forcing the shop keeper to give them to him. Letting his intrigue get the better of him, Bishamon donned the armor and immediately became lost to the bloodthirsty magic of the sword, Kien, and the armor, Hannya. After the arrival of Pyron, Bishamon overcame the grasp of the objects. After learning the origins of Hannya and Kien, Bishamon dedicated himself to preventing the items from ever taking another soul. In order to finally stop the malevolent objects, Bishamon confronted them in Jedah's Majigen.

Bishamon has link combos, Renda combos, unblockables, effective bugs, and big damage. Bishamon is recommended for players with great execution & who enjoy training - lab monsters excel with Bish! He can compete with the entire roster.

Gameplay

Primary objectives:

• Defensively control space leveraging Iai Giri, Karame Dama, jump attacks & 66MP
• Gain meter with defensive normal attacks
• Start offense with dashing light attacks
• Confirm dashing light attacks into big combos for damage & meter gain
• Once inside use regular throws, frame-traps, low attacks, & instant overheads to open up your opponent
• Anti-air with Iai Giri > Togakubi Sarashi for big damage
• Use the proper input/strings/spacing to set UBs/UB loop & maximize damage

Strengths

Weaknesses

Amazing space control with Iai Giri, 66MP, & crouching attacks Lots of opportunities to convert damage using Slap-Chop Effective unblockable setups against most of the cast - most can loop Numerous ways to open-up the opponent, once inside Effective ground dash which links into a full combo High combo damage without meter Above average health Effective Dark Force that can avoid UBs & Cheap Kills

UB loops are meter dependent & can often be avoided by 1f DF Tall while standing: vulnerable to jump-in offense Tall while crouching: vulnerable to various instant overheads Wide while standing & crouching: vulnerable to cross-ups Play style makes him more susceptible to Guard Cancels Although he does have a few effective anti-airs, he does have dead zones, so he often relies on Guard Cancel to anti-air & struggles against opponents who own the skies No UBs against crouching Morrigan or Lilith

Can be used as a situational Anti-air, but is mostly used at mid-range with dashing MP as it beats Ireppa and also Anti-airs. This Anti-air spacing is ideal because it enables UB or effective dashing Okizeme. This move is weak to Guard Cancels and hits fewer times when the opponent crouches

This move covers more vertical distance, so it's a better dashing anti-air solution against Gallon, Felicia, Jedah & Lei-Lei. Dashing HP can be especially effective when used in the corner. This move is weak to Guard Cancels.

An important normal. Comes out fast, recovers quickly and has frame advantage when it connects. Close HK will space you at the correct distance for an unblockable ES fireball against most characters. Builds good amount of meter, mixing this with the charged slash (Iai Giri) will quickly gain meter. Go-to normal for mid-far range meter building.

Has a long reach for a crouching jab. Its reach and speed makes it excellent for poking during both offense and defense. A useful pressure/combo starter due to the extra frame advantage provided by the rapidfire/renda bonus. When you miss a Tech-Hit & this move connects, you can still link into a full combo. It's very strong.

Slower than most of Bishamon's pokes but provides a lot of reach. Great for spacing and poking from a mid-far distance. Canceling this with 5HK regardless of hit or block will offer quicker recovery plus a bit of meter building. Use this to beat or trade with ground fireballs. You can use this to punish the opponent at mid-far range when they would usually be relatively safe - like a whiffed DP that is away. It's an effective tool.

Knockdown move. Quite slow, range is not great either. Strangely enough, the second slash does less damage. This move is rarely used. It is only worth doing if you cannot link into ES KD. A realistic example would be fighting a short crouching opponent, by chaining into 2HK you enable a Slap-Chop.

The angle & disjointed box makes it a very effective jump-in, beating out lots of traditional anti-air normals. Great IOH tool with an instant ascending 9J.MK.

Outside of the 6LP, 6MP chain advantages listed above, 6MP is a great poke used at mid-range when you have a slight advantage. This occurs often after a 66MP or Karama Dama on block. From this 6MP, effective Bishamon's like to cancel to 5MK then confirm the hit/block into more offense. If the 6MP catches the opponents jump start-up, Bishamon is likely in a position to setup a UB Karame Dama.

Can be input twice for an additional slash. The first slash can be used as an anti-air if spaced properly. It's a decent anti-air but has some start-up, so you need to look for the opportunity ahead of time. It is also used to setup proximity block in Dizzy Bug setups against select opponents like Zabel. lastly, This is a great grounded unblockable attack in the corner that enables UB ES KD spacing too.

Bishamon's go to combo tool. Be careful as it requires most opponents to be standing to connect. Outside of combos, it can be a great zuurashi / frame-trap when canceling cr.LK into a the LP or MP version. If the opponent trades on the hit, Bishamon gains full control for huge damage potential.

ES KD is an effective mid-range poke due to it's high damage potential, disjointed box & overall speed. It also has some unblockable frames when standing set distances away from your opponent's hurtbox. There are numerous character specific setups to enable it. After an unblockable fireball, quickly followup with 236P (untechable) , then dash back to the unblockable distance again and do a meaty ES fireball. This can be looped.
