GGXRD-R2/I-No

From Dustloop Wiki

Overview

Overview

I-No is a mixup monster, whose strength lies in her unique Morrigan-style hoverdash that leaves her airborne, allowing her to use her aerial overhead moves very low to the ground. Hoverdash pressure is relentless, painful, and hard to block, with quick overheads, deceptive lows, and delayed or fake overhead strings. On knockdown I-no becomes extremely threatening, as her Note and Vertical Chemical Love YRC can stuff many of the opponent's reversal attempts.

Combined with the natural safe-jumps provided by her hoverdash, she can freely rush in and force some of the safest, easiest, and most dangerous okizeme in the game. With her impressive damage output (especially in the corner), she can very easily take rounds just off a single knockdown.

However, I-no possesses a few crucial weaknesses to offset her stellar setplay, the biggest one of which is her lack of a ground run. While her hoverdash is amazing for high/low mixups, it is stiff for moving and repositioning. Combined with normal attacks that are generally unimpressive for footsies, she can struggle to stay safe at mid range while planning her next approach. Some characters with high, fast pokes can stop her from getting in at all.

I-No has ways around basically any defense thanks to her Horizontal Chemical Love projectile and her low profile Stroke the Big Tree, but those attacks do have clear answers: HCL loses to most airdashes, and Stroke loses to most low pokes. Overall, I-No is an oppressive, explosive character who can always rely on her smothering setplay to run away with entire rounds. Anyone not prepared to stop her is going to pay the price.

 I-No is a fragile aerial rushdown character who wrecks the opponent with mind-blending 50/50 mix-ups and low-profile moves.

Pros
Cons
  • Hoverdash Mixup: I-No's hoverdash gives her incredible high/low mix-up options and cross-up options with the j.D FDC This keyword does not have an entry in the Glossary technique. She be very difficult to keep out once she's gotten in.
  • Great Projectiles: NoteGGXRD Ino AntidepressantScale.pngGuardAllStartup18RecoveryTotal 50Advantage-12 doubles as both a great okizeme tool and a solid way to begin your mixup game from fullscreen, while YRC Chemical LoveGGXRD Ino ChemicalLoveK.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery13+8 After LandingAdvantage+3 can snipe unsuspecting opponents with ease.
  • Great Supers: Longing Desperation is an invincible super that's safe on block. Ultimate Fortissimo is a powerful Air Super that has 0 frames of startup after the super flash and has enough frame advantage to follow with a mixup if blocked.
  • Burst Damage: While I-No is mostly known for her 50/50 blender, she can put out surprisingly high damage off of specific confirms.
  • Aerial Escape Denial: High air throw range and has an anti-air command throw that makes it difficult to jump out of I-No's mixup situations.
  • Low Health and Stun: Below average health and poor stun make I-No a glass cannon.
  • Hoverdash Awkwardness: Her unique ground dash makes it hard for I-No to reposition and move without going into the air, which can be painful in certain matchups.
  • Poor Defensive Options: I-No has no meterless reversals, and her reversal super can lose to even throws and other invulnerable moves on reaction. Her height and lack of a run can also make it difficult to escape situations that other characters can run under and opens her up to easier F-Shiki Sometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters.s and IAD pressure resets.

Unique Mechanics

Hover Dash
I-No's dash does not behave like a normal run. I-No's ground dash puts her airborne which allows her to perform high/low mixups without having to actually jump.
She can also alter the direction of the hoverdash by holding 3 while dashing, which causes her to rise at a more sharp vertical angle.

Decent standing poke and solid combo/pressure tool when 5P and 6P wouldn't reach.

With 2S not hitting low, 2D not leading to very much without spending meter, you'll have to learn j.D FDC to make use of mixup out of this move. However, once learned, I-No's mixup options improve dramatically. Should be used from time to time in block strings to avoid being too predictable, and you'll need to combo into it in some situations (such as a j.D FDC mixup out of block pressure) since I-No may push herself out too far to link into 6P against skinny characters like Venom, Zato, I-No, Millia.

It's also good for catching back dashes thanks to its long range and active frames.

A slow but highly disjointed and active poke that staggers on CH.

Despite its strengths, f.S is overall a highly situational button. 2S is a better option in most situations as it has faster startup and recovery, more range, and combos into HCLGGXRD Ino ChemicalLoveK.pngGuardAllStartup11Recovery13+8 After LandingAdvantage+3 for a knockdown more consistently on regular hit.

Universal grounded overhead that is fully disjointed with incredible horizontal range.

Not very useful for I-No as she has much stronger high/low mixup options, so it's usually used to take advantage for its range as a pseudo zoning tool. You can try to catch people running in under a note or something - in a situation like that, most players are likely to crouch block and get tagged by this. Otherwise, throw it in from time to time in the corner when you're at a distance and expecting the opponent to mash.

Worthless on air hit, so be cautious given the risk of using it. Very active, allowing it to be plus on block if hit very late, so you can meaty it on oki and use the frame advantage to score a counter hit.

On YRC, the projectile remains active but is instead converted to a mid attack.

6S is f.S angled upward, with worse startup and recovery. While 6S looks like it could be used an anti-air, it has very low reward on hit and there is little reason to use it over her other options. 6S is only useful for corner pressure at distances where it would hit either standing or jumping opponents.

Frametrap and combo tool used to fish for jump outs or score counter hits.

6H causes blow back on hit, and I-No can't dash cancel this move unless the first hit connects, though it can be special canceled at any point or hit. This really limits I-No's options when using the second hit to fish for an anti air Counter Hit.

This move is great when attempting a throw, as the anti air hitbox will catch people who try to jump away, and special cancel on block give I-No options to maintain pressure.

I-No's main knockdown tool from her normals.

Can be difficult to knock down from about max 5K range (with f.S and 2S having more range than that). Knocks down, but floats a little bit on hit, which is used in some HCL setups. This move is a low without proration, so there may be situations in which you'll take the risk on using this as a low and then spend meter (such as on a super) to do big damage in the corner.

The hitbox is rather high up for a sweep, but the hurbox is also raised, allowing it to outright beat certain lows that have very thin hitboxes, such as Ky 2DGGXRD Ky 2D Hitbox.pngGuardLowStartup7Recovery12Advantage-10 at the appropriate spacing.

An overhead that alters I-No's air momentum; she'll fall when rising, and float when falling. Used at the end of air block strings before landing for mixup. Can jump cancel for combos or continued block pressure.

16 frames of startup means that any air string you use will leave a gap, so don't get predictable with this mixup or you'll get counter hit. Sets up meterless combos nicely when going into delayed VCL.

Can be faultless defense canceled (FDC This keyword does not have an entry in the Glossary) on startup for the altered momentum effect.

Abbreviated either "Stroke" or "STBT". A rapidly advancing, low profiling low used to gap close and for grounded movement complementing I-No's air approaches.

I-No can YRC at any time during Stroke, allowing all kinds of baits - Stroke YRC into mixup is an effective tool, and the time slow allows you to chase people who jump in fear of throws with an air throw. If you YRC either version during the travel frames, I-no will retain the forward movement of the move in neutral, creating kara throw situations and clever movement techniques in her neutral game.


S version

Staggers on ground hit and can be linked into 5K if close enough. If the opponent doesn't mash out of stagger fast enough though, you can use this opportunity to knock down or attempt a reset. If you're deep in the corner when you get a S stroke CH, you can 6P > 5H > IAD combo for unprorated damage, but if you're too far away on CH you'll still only get a knockdown.

Faster than H stroke, so generally preferred when using STBT as a movement option.


H version

Knocks down on normal ground hit. On counter hit, launches ridiculously high mid screen, and you can set up full combos in the corner because it wall splats. It's a risky move to use given the start up time, but you can low profile under a lot of moves with it, making H stroke an excellent call out option, especially if the opponent is contitioned to mash against airdash approaches.

With j.D FDC (you can hide the FD input during the YRC and go for the Stocked-Burst version) you have both an unreactable mixup tool and a way to stomp counter 2D attempts when you H Stroke at mid screen.

Also known as "Dive", Sultry Performance is an air movement option, an air stall move, and an anti-anti air, also used in combo routes to juggle or secure knockdowns.

The button for Dive can be held to change the startup time and alters the on-hit properties on certain max charge dives.


P dive

Combo tool with plenty of untech time. Can be canceled into an airdash or into specific special moves (like more dives or note) after frame 9. If it hits low enough, I-No will land and can link into 5H.


K dive

Knocks down with plenty of untech time. Hits overhead, but can't be used as a starter even with RC when it's a normal ground hit. Ground bounces on CH, pushing the opponent closer toward the corner and allowing I-No to RC for a combo. Really expensive for a heavily prorated combo (85% + 80% forced from the RC) that you only get on CH, so generally not worth doing.

On max charge, causes a floor bounce that you can combo off of. If the fully charged version scores a counter hit, you get the charged properties instead of the CH properties.


S dive

Knocks down, but wallbounces on air hit in the corner. Like K dive, it can't be used as a starter on a normal ground hit outside of the corner even with RC. Causes an extra little bounce on grounded CH that pushes the opponent toward the corner, and if they're already in the corner you'll get the wallbounce. I-No can RC to combo off of a CH at mid screen, but since this is even more prorated than K dive and scales even harder, you're going to get even less damage.

Causes a tumble when fully charged, and it lasts long enough that you could combo into H STBT with good timing. Damage is still poor, but at least there's a reason to charge dives. When a fully charged version scores a CH, you get the charged properties instead of the CH properties.


H dive

Low damage, but multi hit. Can be used in character-specific combos that emphasize meter gain over damage or as an approach tool in certain situations since it's the fastest dive and travels directly forwards.

Also has a use in neutral when you want to take a big risk from just the right distance away. If you catch the opponent off guard and hit them, you can sometimes combo, but at this spacing you wont get substantial damage. On CH with perfect spacing, you can potentially combo into c.S for a more substantial combo. Usually though, you'll just get a knockdown (or they'll tech). If the opponent reacts too slow to AA I-No and they block, she will be safe if spaced right. Great in certain matchups for dealing with specific tools, like Potemkin's Slide HeadGGXRD Potemkin SlideHead.pngGuardLow[Unblockable]Startup25[29]RecoveryTotal 54Advantage-11.

214K > 214S 25 All 13 9 After Landing

Abbreviated as HCL (Horizontal Chemical Love). An important pseudo projectile move used in combos and neutral.

I-No flips and sends out a beam that reaches fairly far horizontally, but can be crouched under. It also leaves her in counterhit state on recovery, making it very dangerous if the opponent crouches or runs under it. The hitbox takes longer to come out starting around max f.S range which can cause some combos to drop (you'll lose the knockdown from HCL).

HCL has a lot of hitstun, which means it can be used in some corner combos, and is very good when YRC'd in neutral.


214S Followup

Also known as HCL~D, short for "Derivative followup"

The derivative follow up can be used with both the ground and air versions of this move, but only on hit or block. Knocking down with derivative gives less advantage time for oki than a dive knockdown, but being able to confirm a fullscreen poke into any knockdown at all without spending any meter is strong and allows I-No to start pressure off of a very long ranged poke.

j.214S 40 All 11 11 8 After Landing

I-No flips in place and sends out a beam like HCL, except it's vertical (duh). Highly damaging corner combo tool and oppressive Okizeme option with YRC.

Hits hard and has little landing recovery, meaning it can be used in corner loops for big damage. When used during active airdash frames, this move will cause I-No to fast fall, which improves follow up options. There's just enough time in I-No's air dash to link j.K > j.S > VCL and still fast fall.

When YRC'd, VCL is one of the most oppressive oki tools in the game. 11 active frames means that if timed right, the majority of characters can't back dash out without getting hit. If they try to reversal out, you can use the flash from the YRC to react and FD block as soon as game play resumes. If they commit to blocking, I-No is in the air and can do an overhead or land and immediate low while they're in block stun for an unreactable 50/50 mixup. If they reversal Blitz and absorb the projectile, I-No can land and throw.

VCL (and VCL YRC) is sometimes used as a reversal because of its low crush properties, but well timed meaty lows will counterhit I-No on frame 1.

I-No's main invincible reversal super. It's also a projectile.

Starts 2 frames after the flash so it's possible to FD on reaction to the cinematic, or even beat it clean with an uppercut (Volcanic ViperGGXRD Sol VolcanicViper.pngGuardMidStartup5Recovery29+8 after landingAdvantage-41) or some low profile moves (Grand ViperGGXRD Sol GrandViper1.pngGuardLowx2~6,

Startup17Recovery37+10 after landingAdvantage-56
). While Longing Desperation is not throw invuln and thus can be grabbed, throwing it on reaction is hard when it's used as a reversal because of throw invulnerability when waking up. Unlike most invincible reversals in the game, this one is safe on block even if instant blocked.

It can also be used as a combo finisher or starter, but Ultimate Fortissimo is usually a better option for that due to its higher base damage and better initial scaling. However, Longing Desperation can be done on the ground, unlike Ultimate Fortissimo, so it can be worthwhile to use for better damage off a grounded low starter.

A strong contender for one of the game's best supers: starts and extends combos, is frame 0 after super flash, and partially strike invuln to boot. It's also plus on block just in case your opponent somehow managed to block it.

Because the invuln only covers the startup, Fortissimo will trade with or lose to most 6P attacks (on paper, anyway) and will lose to other reversals depending on timing and how much invuln they have. It's pretty much guaranteed to lose to DPs like Vapor ThrustGGXRD Ky VaporThrust.pngGuardMidStartup11Recovery35+9 LandingAdvantage-34 and Volcanic ViperGGXRD Sol VolcanicViper.pngGuardMidStartup5Recovery29+8 after landingAdvantage-41, though it may beat other supers if it goes second.
