Overview

Rushing forward with an unmatched flair, keep your opponent on their toes with an absolutely relentless offense! Just make sure they're dead before you get too tired.

Sin Kiske is an aggressive rushdown character, sporting a powerful suite of tools for closing the distance, mixing up the opponent, and then tearing their life bar to shreds. However, these tools are limited by Sin's defining mechanic, the Stamina Gauge. As long as Sin has Stamina, he can cancel his special moves into followups that can frame trap and improve his frame data on block, or into Gazelle Step, a lightning fast dash that puts him right into his opponent's face. In addition, Stamina is also very important for combos, allowing Sin to convert good hits into long combos with great corner carry, and even allowing weaker hits to combo into Tyrant Barrel for good damage and a possible wallbreak.

However, this means that when he is without Stamina, Sin's options are far more limited. He loses access to many of his pressure options, and his reward on hit is reduced dramatically. Playing Sin requires one to be considerate of when to push their advantage, and when to back off and give themselves time to recover. He has a decent enough selection of tools for handling himself on the back foot, though nothing spectacular. His 2S and 5K are solid pokes in neutral, and Beak Driver hits from very far away, though its hurtbox leaves much to be desired. He fares much better against airborne opponents, with 6P, 5P, and j.H providing stellar control over his airspace. On defense, Hawk Baker is a strong DP, though the minigame around its follow up can be bypassed completely by punishing it before the second hit.

If you want powerful rekka-esque offense, consistent damage, and a healthy helping of resource management, Sin Kiske might be the character for you!

Sin Kiske

Sin Kiske is classified as a Rush type, using an assortment of follow-up attacks to keep up the pressure and chase down his opponent.
Pros	Cons
Built for Distance: Sin's special follow-ups, blockstrings and combos all have incredible corner carry. His R.T.L super in particular can wallbreak from nearly 1/4th of the way to the corner. Always Raring: Sin gets great combos off of many of his best buttons, like 2S and 6P. Beak Driver launches from any hit and his BnBA staple combo that is simple yet effective.s are Stamina efficient, giving Sin consistently good reward. False Flags: Sin's special move overhead Hoof Stomp and the command normal low 6K are exactly the same speed and are fast enough to beat most AbareAn attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it. from common cancels, making them powerful mixup tools that are also safe (or plus) if Sin has Stamina or Tension. Runs in the Family: Elk Hunt is a very long range and low-profiling low that can turn into a terrifying Strike/Throw mixup on block by spending two Stamina. It's a threat that opponents have to be constantly aware of both in neutral and in pressure.	Too Much Muscle: The Stamina Gauge is central to using Sin's Specials and cannot be recovered any other way than waiting. This means Sin can encounter situations where he must choose to return to neutral or risk overextending his pressure without the means to keep himself safe. Odd Choice of Weapon: Sin's normals overall have lackluster startup and recovery, and while he has extremely powerful special moves this can still make midrange neutral, punishment, and scramble situations difficult. Flashy Backdash: Sin has the slowest backdash in the game, without the increased invulnerability of a slow backdash. In addition, it remains grounded, preventing some tech, and means it can easily be hit by low-hitting attacks, while still launching him in the air on hit.

Unique Mechanic: Stamina

Stamina is a unique resource that allows Sin to use Follow-ups after any of his special moves (other than Still GrowingGuard:
-Startup:
Recovery:
Total 49Advantage:
) on hit or block. The Follow-ups for each special move are unique moves themselves, and have a variety of uses ranging from combo extenders to Guard Crushing pressure extenders. He also has access to a command dash Follow-up in Gazelle StepGuard:
-Startup:
Recovery:
Total 24Advantage:
after both the special moves and their Follow-ups, opening up mix-ups, pressure resets, and combo routes.

The Stamina Gauge is comprised of 3 Bars, and performing a Follow-up uses 1 Bar. Two seconds (one second for Gazelle Step) after spending a Bar, the Gauge will begin to gradually refill, filling faster the less Stamina Sin currently has remaining. If the Stamina Gauge does not have at least 1 Bar filled, Sin will be unable to cancel his special moves, weakening his offense or leaving him open to punishment.

The First Bar is the closest to the flag icon, while the Last Bar is the farthest from it.

Each bar consists of 5000 units, for a total of 15000 units.

After 120 frames (60 frames for Gazelle Step), the Gauge will begin to gradually refill.

Regeneration rates are different for each bar of Stamina.

First Bar refills at a rate of 40 units/frame (125 frames to full).

Middle Bar refills at a rate of 70 units/frame (72 frames to full).

Last Bar refills at a rate of 100 units/frame (50 frames to full).

A high recovery, long startup, mid poke that is easily low profiled, whiff punished, and generally made to look foolish.

Sin is usually better off using his 5P and 5K to check approaches or challenge in up close scrambles, and his 2S is far better suited for use as a midrange poke in neutral. Though it is slightly longer range than 2S, it can often be low profiled and 6Ped. Can hitconfirm into 2H for a launch or 5H for a safer option on block.

Combo filler and blockstring ender.

Usually combos into 623S unless a combo is very scaled, and is a useful gatling from f.S and 2S in blockstrings due to being only -4 on block. Just a bit too slow for use in most neutral situations. The fact that it has two hits, both of which are special cancellable, allows you to vary your tempo and keep your opponent guessing on defense. You may be able to surprise your opponent by cancelling into 214S for an overhead or 236K for a low on either hit.

Uncharged Dust

Universal overhead attack that's pretty fast. It can gatling from 5K, 2K, or c.S for an unsafe mix-up that can be made safe on block or converted into a full combo on hit by using Roman Cancel. 214S is overall more useful as an overhead due to it's speed and low crushing properties.

Charged Dust

Holding any upwards direction during the hitstop of Charged Dust will perform a Homing Jump:
- Performing a Homing Jump puts the opponent into a unique high damaging air combo state and will cause an Area Shift afterwards, resetting character positions to neutral at slightly farther than round start distance.
- Pressing any attack twice in a row without jump/dash canceling will perform a unique Finishing Blow attack, causing a hard knockdown and leaving Sin at +23 instead of neutral (+-0).

Similar to uncharged Dust but is slow enough for opponents to reliably react to. On raw hit, it results in a very high damage Homing Jump combo. Due to its slow startup Charged Dust is primarily used for juggling during combos to add damage after a Red Roman Cancel launch or Counter Hit c.S, but can also be used for simple punishes on extremely unsafe moves.

The low-reaching complement to f.S in Sin's suite of pokes. Don't be fooled by its appearance - this is not a low attack, and can be blocked standing. Its relatively fast startup, large amount of active frames, low recovery, and the fact it can't be low profiled make it a strong choice of pokes when its slightly shorter range isn't a concern. As with f.S, can hitconfirm into 2H for a launch or 5H for a safer option on block (though given it's only -5, this move doesn't usually need to be cancelled at all to be safe on block)

Combos from c.S, f.S, and 2S. Deals less damage than 5H, but its launch and forward movement make it a good tool for combos, comboing into 214S up close and 236K from farther away. In blockstrings, this move is very unsafe. It's -16 on block and advances forward, so it must be cancelled to be safe. All special cancel options except 236H and 623S have large mashable gaps, and 236H and 623S are themselves very unsafe on block unless cancelled into their followups at the cost of the stamina bar.

6K's good meterless reward on hit and plus frames on block make it a strong meaty option. The fact that it gatlings from 5K and c.S mean that it can be used as a pressure reset or stagger option against overly cautious opponents.

Large poke and pressure extender. Comes with an extended hurtbox during recovery and is vulnerable to 6Ps, but that's all part of the plan. Just don't whiff it and Sin will take care of the rest.

Beak Driver should never be used without a bar of stamina ready, as without the followup it's punishable on hit (unless used as an anti-air), and the extended hurtbox during recovery means it can't be spaced to be safe.

Launches into a Rolling Tumble on air hit.

Massive, advancing strike, able to frametrap opponents and confirm on hit from almost any range. Makes Beak Driver safe on block and allows Sin to threaten with Gazelle Step off Beak Driver in neutral.

Sin will eat a random food item, granting a random effect, with a random potency and a duration from 2-6 seconds. A freebie for your hard work getting good oki.

The effect of the food varies from irrelevant to fairly decent. Due to the atrociously long recovery, this can only be safely received from very favourable okizeme, such as from 2D, or after launching opponents full-screen with one of his many Stamina-consuming follow-ups. Due to usually receiving the weakest strength benefits, it is rarely worth using unless completely free of risk.

Meat on the Bone: increases Damage for a short time.
Lobster: reduces Damage taken for a short time.
Fish: increases Movement Speed.
Ice-Cream: grants Tension.
Lizard: restores Health

Particularly good on wall break or for confirming off pokes if lacking the Stamina to do so, as it can be used even from grounded hits. The initial strike hits into the ground, meaning it can sometimes whiff on high launches.

Releasing after the first hit of Tyrant Barrel performs a powerful follow-up strike. The damage increases the closer the release input is to the Perfect Hit. If the button was not held before Tyrant Barrel hit, it may be pressed and released a second time to get the input. If the button is simply tapped during this period, it is often not possible to land a Perfect Hit, especially on Counter Hit and on a high wallsplat.
