Profile

Kurumi Mirumati appeared in the wreckage of a plane crash without any answers as to how or why. She lacks basic fighting skills, but is said to hold a massive amount of hidden power.

Kurumi fights in support of the assist characters.

Guts Factor: 33.3%

Total Effective Health: 1020

Move List

Note: Kurumi's assist meter will freeze if she is a fullscreen away from the opponent and has at least 4 levels except when in the corner. Kurumi will need to move forward to restart assist meter regen. Returning to neutral, neutral jumping, and performing most attacks in place will not restart the assist meter regen.

Movement

66: Short dash.

44: Short back hop.

	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	Yes	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	25	- / Increased Hitstun	+15%
	Weird midair split kick, the hit box is too high up to be used as a jump in. Awful, don't use this normal. Can link into 5A, 2A, or 6A if it actually lands.

	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	Yes	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale

	High	Yes	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	83	- / Increased Hitstun	+15%
	Aerial roundhouse kick. Decent for air to air, sucks as a jump in because of its high hitbox, and can be used as a cross up but timing is strict.

	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	High	No	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	120	Knockdown	+50%

	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	-	-	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	-	- / -	+0%
	A roll, possesses upper body invincibility, but can be grabbed. Useful for ambiguous crossups with assists.

	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Low	No	Yes
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	75	Knockdown	+20%
	Kurumi face-plants into the ground. Increases Kurumi's stun meter. Can crossup during opponent's wakeup. It's possible for this to crossup the same way even if the opponent is in the corner.

22+B with Eko
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	No -> Yes	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	40 +60 (2Hits 128)	Butt Plant with 2Hits	+20%
	Eko will trip Kurumi and pony over her to kick the opponent. Kurumi's trip will hit the opponent and lock them in place, creating a 2-hit combo. Is very fast. The 2nd hit does more damage if the first hit lands. Kurumi can complete the combo with a 623X, 2C, or Super. (Consumes 1 Level)

22+B with Juliet
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	Yes	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	181	Knockdown / Spinning Wall-Bounce	+40%
	Juliet will hurl Kurumi at the opponent. (Consumes 2 levels)

22+B with Sierra
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Low	-	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	85	Knockdown	-
	Sierra will lift up Kurumi and let go. Then Kurumi can do any aerial attack; otherwise, she will do a slide kick on landing. Whiffing near the ground will go to neutral state. Basically a mixup attempt.

Liberty Arts

214+BC: Super {Something about destruction} Boisterous Dance
	Guard	Air Guard	Support
	Mid	Yes	No
	Damage	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	256	Knockdown	+20%
	Starting with the 5B palm strike animation Kurumi goes into a series of attacks and ends with her 623A/B/C kick. Can be linked into from a close 5B. Does about 25-30% and has a nearly instant startup (cannot be guarded on reaction), but very poor range.

236+BC: Union Arts
	Guard		Air Guard		Support
	Mid		Yes		No
	Assist	Damage	Recovery	Hit / Counter Hit	Counter Scale
	Eko	336	136	Knockdown	-
	Juliet	469 (when close)	56
	Sierra	372	56
	Kanae	296	56 or 150
	Kurumi fuses with her assist and unleashes an instant, full-screen attack. Invincible startup. Needs full assist meter to activate and consumes all 5 afterwards. Effects vary depending on the assist. The move itself has a slight startup but once the super pause activates, the opponent is unable to move or block until the attack initiates (even if they were in a neutral position when the hitpause activated). It recovers a bit of Kurumi's life whether it hits or not. Eko: Somewhat like Kos-Mos, proton cannon laser, 10 hits. Juliet: Turns into a super Knight, does Lightning Storm. Damage depends on how close you are, at throw range it does 12 hits. Sierra: Massive screen filling mech girl, shoots lasers, 19 hits. Kanae: Some Touhou looking shit, shoots fireworks/Jubilee glitter, 12 hits. Drains a little more than half of the opponent's special bar. Hilda: Does absolutely nothing. Super does not even work.

Strategy

At first Kurumi seems like a flawed character, having only one special move and fairly weak normals. However, her strength lies in the fact that her assist gauge fills very fast up until it hits 4. Kurumi is able to use assists much more frequently than other characters. As well as this, her normals are all very fast and she can chain them together into natural combos which deal substantial damage with only minor support.

Anti Air

5B and 5C are your best friends, especially 5B. When timed correctly 5B will beat out most jump ins if not trade. Opponents should have a real hard time jumping in on Kurumi when you're being cautious of it.

Dead Body Cross Up

Kurumi's 6B can be used to cross up a knocked down opponent. Timing 6B just before the opponent wakes up, you'll land on the opposite side, add assist to make it more effective.

Corner Throw

In the p1 corner. If you throw into the corner then walk back, you will crossup your opponent and be in the corner. if you dont walk back, you wont crossup. Possible 3/4 way mixups. In p2 corner if you throw into the corner, even if you walk back you wont crossup, but if you immediately jump your sprite will looked to have crossed up. A meaty air attack will hit crossup (need verification) and you will land out of the corner even though your sprite was turned around in the air. More 3/4 way mixup possibilities.

Combos

Note: Kurumi can replace most 6A>5C and 5B>6B enders with 214B+C

Without Assist

6A > 6B / 2C / 5C (10%)
   6B will whiff on crouchers and Lilith

6A > 5B > 2C (14%-16%) / 6B (13%-15%)

• 6A combos can start off of 5A if you are really close

j.B > 214BC (30%-38%) / 6A > 5B > 6B (19%-20%) / 2C (18%-20%)

j.C > 214BC (32%-41%) / 6A > 5B > 6B (21%-24%) / 2C (20%-23%)

• The 5B in 6A > 5B combos is optional, but it'll do less damage and it will cause 6B to wiff against Lilith

j.22 > 214BC (30%-40%) / 6A > 6B (16%)

CH 2B > 6A > 6B (13%-15%)
   Replace 6B with 5B when against Lilith

CH 5B > 214BC (31%-40%) / 2C (13%-15%) / 6A > 6B (16%-18%)
   Against Kurumi walk forward then attack after CH 5B

CH 5C > 214BC (32%-41%) / 6A > 6B (18-20%)
   214BC does not work against Kurumi

Corner: j.B > 5B > 214BC (33%-41%)
   This combo can be used midscreen against Kurumi only

Corner: j.C > 5B > 214BC (38%-45%)
   This combo can be used midscreen if you cross-up with j.C

Corner: 623X > 214BC (36%-45%) / 6A > 6B (21%-23%)

Eko

22B > 623X or 214B+C or walk 6A > 5B > 2C

6A+D > 5B > (6D hits) > 623X

6A+D > 5C > (6D hits) > 6A > 5B > 2C

6A+D > 5C > (6D hits) > 5B > 6B

6A+D > 2C > (6D hits) > 5B > 6B

• Useful against Lilith, who can crouch under 5B.

6A > 2C > 2D > 6A > 5C

j.22 > 6A+D > 6B > 5B > 6B

Corner: 6A~5D~5B > (dash 6A~5D~5B)xN

Corner: 6A > 5B > 2C > 2D > 6A > 5C

Corner: 6A+D > 5B > (6D hits) > 623X > 6A > 6C+D > [6]9 (walk then jump) > j.B > 214B+C

• Harder to do than in previous versions due to increased pushback and 5C possibly being nerfed

Corner: 6A+6D > 5B > (6D hits) > 623X > 6A > 6B > 2D > [6]9 (walk then jump) > j.B > 214B+C

• Alternate version of above combo, tiny bit more damage

Corner: 6A+D > 5B > (6D hits) > 623X > 6A+D > 6B > 6A > 5C

Corner: 6A > 5B > 6D~6B > 6A+D > 5C > (6D hits) j.B > 214B+C

Sierra

6A > 5B~5D > 623X

j.22 > 6D > 6A > 6B > (6D hits) > 5B > 6B

Corner: 6A+D > 5B > 6B > (6D hits) > dash up 5B > 6B

Corner: 623X > 6D > 5A > (6D hits) > 5B > 6B

Corner: 6A > 5B+D > 623X~6D > 2A > j.B > 5C/214B+C

Corner: 6A > 5B+D > 623X~3D > 6B > j.B > 5C/214B+C

Juliet

6A~6D > 5B > 2C > 6D hits

• Can end with 214B+C, 6D needs to be done as late as possible before 5B, 5B>2C needs to be chained immediately

6A > 5B > 2D~2C > (2D hits) > 5C (or 214B+C)

6A > 5B > 3D+2C > (3D hits) > delay 6A > 5C

Corner: CH 22B > 6A > 5C

Corner: 6A > 5B~5D > (5D hits) > j.B > 6A > 5B > 2C+3D > 6A > 5C

• Pretty hard to do, use combo below instead unless you really wish to preserve support meter

Corner: 6A > 5B~3D > (3D hits twice) j.C > 6A > 5B > 2C+3D > 6A > 5C

• Can replace first 5B with 5C for more damage, though you will have to walk a forward a bit during 3D's pushback before jumping into j.C

Kanae

Note: All 623X enders can be replaced with j.B > 5C/214B+C

623X~6D > 6A > 5C

5A+5D > 5B > 2C > 5C

2D > 623X

• Timing for 623X is right when the dog spits them out

2D > 6A > 5B > (2D dog eats/spits) > 2D~623X > (opponent grabbed by dog) > 623X

• Requires nearly full support meter
• Low start

2D~623X > 2D~623X > (2D dog eats/spits) > 623X

• Requires nearly full support meter
• Overhead start

3D > 6A > 5B > 2D > 5B > (2D dog eats/spits) > 6D > dash 5B > (6D ghost hits) > 6A > 5C

• Requires nearly full support meter
• Unfortunately doesn't do much damage for the work put in it (even ending with Liberty Art still does only about 49%) but it at least lands a free ghost and looks cool

6A+6D > 5B > 2C > 3D > 623X

• This is a reset. On wakeup, the opponent will be forced to take either the ghost or the manhole either way. Some characters can escape the follow up by doing a backdash but will still be tagged by the ghost.
