Overview

Overview

Amane is a evasive zoner with great chip damage, high range and air maneuverability, albeit with slow speed.

Amane is hard to catch in neutral due to his ability to stay airborne, poke with fullscreen normals and push his opponents away if they get close, which gives him the ability to control the pace of the game. Once they do get in however, Amane is at a significant disadvantage until he can make space again.

While Amane does not have much of a high/low mixup, his air mobility gives him plenty of crossup opportunities and his Drive has the best chip damage in the game, allowing him to create a mixup between his dangerous chip damage or high reward frame traps.

 Amane Nishiki  Amane Nishiki is an evasive zoner that uses his command jumps and full screen normals to control space and lock down movement. His Drive makes up for his lack of mixups with its high chip damage and barrier drain.

Pros

Cons

• Midrange: A strong neutral game backed up with great range on his C and D normals allows Amane to control the pace of the match.
• Great Pressure: Strong and diverse pressure with his flexible normals, Zettou, and Ginga.
• Air Control: Unpredictable air mobility with Zettou hops and j.2B. A plethora of antiair options such as 6A, 5A, 5C, 2D, and 623C make it very difficult to contest Amane's controlled space.
• Drill Pressure: Amane's Drive replaces his need for mix-up as his high chip damage and barrier drain punishes turtling, and level 3 Spiral deals obscene amounts of damage. They also disable the ability to CA at lv3.

• High recovery: Amane has high recovery on many of his moves, specially his C normals. Caution is needed when using them.
• Bad defense: Whilst having an amazing anti air and CA, his fast buttons are pretty stubby making it difficult to contest pressure.
• Weak to ODR: A lot of Amane's buttons lose to ODR/EA, including his 5B.
• Commitment: Since Amane lacks jumpcancels on almost every normal, he is forced to rely a lot on his command hop, which locks him out of blocking and can be DP'd on reaction unless he completely avoids it.

Amane's Drive attacks turn his cloth into a drill he uses to attack his opponent. Using Drive attacks will fill the Spiral Gauge for up to three levels. Different levels of Spiral Gauge grant different properties to Amane's Drive Attacks. Here are some of the specifics:

• There are a total of 3 levels of Spiral Gauge. Gauge increases upon using D attacks and decreases over time. Drill attacks last longer and do more damage with higher level. Gauge builds even on whiffed D attacks.
• Drill can overheat if charged for too long. When overheated, D moves and specials cannot be used.
• Each attack will deal more hits if the button is held down, with each hit contributing to the Spiral Gauge. Can stop holding moves at any time.
• Level 3 D moves do a very high amount of chip damage on block.

His Overdrive powers up his drill, making it much easier to get to level 3 and prevent overheat.

• Spiral Gauge continues to rapidly rise to level 3 and then stops. (Does not immediately become level 3 on activation).
• Amane's Distortion Drives become enhanced, gaining extra hits and dealing more damage.
• 6D does more hits, but gains drill gauge slower, allowing it to deal more damage for longer without overheating the drill.

Not a standard jab due to hitting twice, making it very punishable on whiff. However it's very fast which makes it useful as a situational anti-air, or linking combos after a microdash. Whiffs on most characters on crouch.

Amane's 2A requires you to press the button multiple times in order to use every version of the attack. Can cancel into all three versions on whiff, and can cancel back to the first version from the third on hit or block. Because it cancels into itself on whiff, it's better to hit stun option select combo confirms with 2A > 2B instead of 2AA. Best button to defensively mash through pressure.

• Can beat rolls by using Zettou > j.B after Gekiren, Gosei, Seijyuu
• Amane's own hurtbox includes the sash, leading to some strange counterhits.
• Cannot cancel into Zettou or choujin on block

Offers the best balance of covering space versus ease of use. You want to use this move a lot but beware of opponents counter hitting its huge hurtbox.

Due to slow startup, head invulnerability that kicks in late, no ability to cancel into anything when blocked but RC and non beneficial frame advantage, 2D should not be your go to anti air. However, it can be very beneficial in matchups against characters who stall in the air or alter their trajectory - most notably Tager - because it can be held to stay active for a long time. Ultimately, it sees most use in combos.

Your best way to raise your drill level. You can combo into it for 50 meter with Hariken B RC or 100 meter with Seijyuu RC. Gosei RC is possible but extremely hard. You can use this as okizeme after Ginga or as a reset in block strings and combos. Even if it's blocked, you're guaranteed level 3 drill. Don't be too predictable, however, as opponents can roll/delay tech out of it on wakeup and jump out in blockstrings, leaving you in a great deal of recovery. Many characters also have good tools for escaping 6D, like Azrael's Growler, Naoto's Divine Smasher, or the Murakumos' backdashes

This move is godlike as you can jump then do it right away and it'll connect on crouching opponents. You can keep it active almost until you land. Builds good drill meter while still applying pressure as you'll stay in. Otherwise, this is the least damaging drive normal that Amane has. Not super rewarding in combos compared to his other D moves. Combined with Zettou and high drill level, it can be used for effective chipp strings like 5D > 236A > j.D > j.236A > j.D, though remember to mix it up with frame traps (like 5D > delay 214C) to avoid abare.

One of the worst guard crushes for actually guard crushing people because the horizontal range is bad, your follow-ups are very low damage, and your opponent will be barrier blocking you anyway because you're Amane.

• Cannot hit grounded opponents
• Air unblockable even during blockstun

The hand will spawn at a fixed distance from Amane unless in the corner. The hand will never be off screen, so the range might change to accommodate this rule. Very useful for call outs if your opponent is jumping. Can be Rapid Canceled and combo'd afterwards into 2C for big damage, or can be followed up for free on counter hit.

• Active frames continue until landing
• Amane will turn around if he lands behind the opponent for the last hit

Mostly used as a knockdown from air combos as it's unsafe otherwise. Can be rapid canceled into 2C for a combo extension. If done near the corner while the opponent is relatively high to you - usually after j2C - you can actually link 2B after it recovers for a combo extension.

If you have 50 meter, consider chimping out with it in neutral as it's really fast and will be either safe or give you a combo.

A command jump that gives Amane the much needed additional mobility.

• Directional input controls the hop's direction (236 = forward, 214 = back) and the button pressed affects the angle (A = short, B = long)
• Can be done once on the ground and once in the air; Zettou uses are restored after landing (eg. whiffing a j.2B)
• Using Zettou does not consume universal air movement options; combine with double jump or airdash for extra mobility
• Cancels into all jump normals and specials (eg. does not directly cancel into double jump, airdash, or block) after a certain amount of time depending on which versions is used:
  • Ground A versions: 14F onwards
  • Ground B versions: 16F onwards
  • All Aerial versions: 7F onwards

Projectile that travels on ground level.

• Short range, big pushback on block, average overall recovery
• Launches opponent in air on hit with lots of untech time

Ginga is a new addition that helps Amane's game on all areas:

• In combos it gives an easy launch in corner for a great variety of routes. As a midscreen ender you can attempt for a 6D tech trap, hit blue beat 1C if they guess 6D and don't emergency tech, or airdash jB for a safe jump.
• In pressure it works as a safe frametrap ender with a big counterhit that combos into C normals
• In okizeme it gives a frame advantage on block or launches the opponent for a combo if they roll, quick tech, or do not tech. Note that Ginga was nerfed in this version to continue traveling past the corner if you're too close

• Base Damage is 800*8 on block, on hit it is as listed above
• 180F Heat Gauge Cooldown
• 1st hit forces opponent into standing on hit
• On hit, only possible to Rapid Cancel last attack
• Gauge immediately overheats after second attack on hit (not on block)
• Minimum damage: (Lv1: 860 Lv2: 960 Lv3: 1060)
• OD Minimum damage: (Lv1: 1020 Lv2: 1140 Lv3: 1300)

Only invincible reversal available. If blocked, it's very punishable. If whiffed (i.e. opponent jumped over it), Amane will travel a long distance that makes it hard to punish.

Important Note: If you rapid cancel this super frame 1 then it will not overheat your gauge, letting you combo into 6D for instant level 3. Holding down the rapid cancel buttons just before the super finishes will repeat the input for 4 frames and make this significantly easier to execute.

Depending on the drill level and resources available, different followups are possible.

Level 1

• Only followup possible is by using Rapid Cancel
• Possible to do Seijyuu > RC > 6D

Level 2

• Followup with 3C

Level 3

• Followup with 6C
