|content=Izayoi plays between two modes: Her defensive Normal Mode, and her offensive Gain Art Mode. In Gain Art Mode, Izayoi has a strong damage potential, powerful mixup, and amazing movement options. By balancing these two modes properly, Izayoi can switch from patient neutral play to aggressive rushdown. While Normal Mode has average movement options and relatively low damage, she reaps the reward in Gain Art Mode. One of Izayoi's trademark features is her '''huge toolset'''. From a projectile, to stance cancels, to various plus on block normals, Izayoi has a variety of tools for any given situation. | |||
While Izayoi is a strong character, she requires quick decision making and good game sense. She has many tools, but they often fit specific situations. This can make it difficult for newer players to learn Izayoi, and can give experienced players a hard time with their decision making. Generally speaking, Izayoi is '''average difficulty to pick up, but hard to master'''. Should you decide to take it up a notch, Izayoi has a high skill ceiling and rewards dedicated players with amazing mixup tools and damage. | |||

|content=Izayoi's Drive allows her to enter an alternate mode called '''Gain Art''' (GA for short) that changes her C normals, and gives her new dashes, special moves (all using the D button), and extensions to existing special moves. Izayoi changes modes by pressing {{clr|5|5D}}/{{clr|5|2D}}/{{clr|5|j.D}}. Visually, Izayoi's sword will change to a green colour (Regardless of the colour palette), and the "Eye" at the end of the zero weave gauge will open up. | |||
While | While in Gain Art Mode, Izayoi gains tremendous mix-up and pressure potential, contrasting the defensive style of her normal mode. However, there is a limit to Gain Art Mode. | ||
Izayoi has a unique gauge called the Zero Weave Gauge. This gauge has 8 stocks that Izayoi must spend in order to perform Gain Art-only specials and Gain Art extensions. Izayoi gains stocks by landing special moves during normal mode. On hit, each special generates 2 stocks. On block (Including Guard points), each special generates 1 stock. Keep in mind that Izayoi does ''not'' need any stocks in the Zero Weave Gauge to change modes. Special move extensions in GA are the foundation behind Gain Art pressure and combos. Effective usage of normal mode to generate stocks and Gain Art to spend them is the key to success! | |||

Izayoi gains new air dashes and new ground dashes. In GA, Izayoi has [[BBCF/Mechanics#Air Options|2 air options]], but '''cannot double jump after using an airdash'''. On the ground, both of her dashes become Hover dashes. Inputting a dash will cause Izayoi to immediately fly up into the air at an angle. This prevents Izayoi from microdashing her normals, but gives her unparalleled mixups. <!--Her backdash curves and takes her high up in the air, while her forward takes takes her at a slight downwards angle.--> Izayoi's ground dashes '''do not consume air options'''. This means that Izayoi can use unique movement like Backdash > djc > Airdash. Izayoi's air dashes also become Hover Dashes, and she can can use an air option to cancel them into each other, or jump. The hoverdash's trajectory can be aimed by holding '''9''' or '''3'''. Holding '''3''' after a hoverdash moves Izayoi in a manner similar to a typical instant airdash. | ||

* Whiffs on most crouching hurtboxes. | |||
Relatively standard {{clr|A|5A}}. Izayoi's fastest move, and is used to pick up from some air combos. Also useful as an anti-air in a pinch, particularly against IADs. {{clr|A|2A}} makes for a better pressure tool than {{clr|A|5A}} overall, limiting its use. | |||

* Izayoi’s main poking normal. | |||
This move is capable of tagging most characters from round start positions. It is not infallible as it can be low profiled and extends Izayoi’s hurtbox, but these are downsides that can be played around. This normal is incredible and is the core of Izayoi’s ground game alongside {{clr|B|2B}} and NM {{clr|C|2C}}. Can be confirmed into {{clr|B|236B}} or {{clr|C|236C}} at any range. Commonly cancelled into Sonic Sabre for pressure. | |||

A strong normal for confirming {{clr|B|5B}} hits in Normal mode due to its forward movement. Also used often in her combos, as it moves her close enough to end them with {{clr|C|623C}} or jump cancel into a GA transition combo. | |||

* Functionally a “close” normal. | |||
* Izayoi's only jump cancelable {{clr|C|C}} normal on block. | |||
| | |||
This normal does it all while packing a punch. Solid base damage, prorates well, and opens up a good amount of combo and pressure options. Cornerstone in Gain Art combos, usually being used to combo into {{clr|C|2C}} against crouching opponents or into an air combo on airborne ones. | |||
{{clr|C|5C}} also plays a huge role in GA pressure, allowing Izayoi to close space with an IAD if necessary. Its frame advantage being so good can let Izayoi steal a turn, especially considering the Gatling into {{clr|C|2C}}. More on that normal later. | |||

* Gatlings into itself on hit, block, and whiff. | |||
** Only two can be used per string. | |||
* Plus on block. (!!!) | |||
* Very small hurtbox at the tip of her foot. | |||
Standard speed for a {{clr|A|2A}}, but comes with good reach and a bunch of other great properties. It's also a low. Like most {{clr|A|2A}}s, this cancels into throw, but it's often better to go for {{clr|A|5A}}w> {{clr|B|B}}{{clr|C|C}} to TRM an opponent. | |||
Being +1 on block for a {{clr|A|2A}} is amazing for Izayoi’s pressure and it hitting low is the icing on the cake. It is much easier for Izayoi to threaten a throw (or a hover dash pressure reset in GA) than most other characters. | |||

A bit similar in usage to {{clr|A|2A}}, but comes with a bit more startup and extra range. {{clr|B|2B}} is an excellent button overall and is useful in both modes. It will go under a surprising amount of pokes, as well as being a passable anti-air. {{clr|B|2B}} leads to combos that are about the same as {{clr|A|2A}} due to them both being S starters, but {{clr|B|2B}} will lead to better damage due to better scaling. | |||

* Forces Fatal Counter on counterhit. | |||
** Staggers on counterhit. | |||
A staple of Izayoi's ground game in Normal mode. Extremely good disjointed hitbox, low hurtbox, and a high amount of active frames makes this move very difficult to whiff punish. A bit on the slow side for a neutral poke, but controls space extremely well and maintains a good frame disadvantage with a Stance cancel. Wins trades for free and is a great counterpoke to boot. The stagger is long enough that Izayoi can switch modes and hoverdash in at pretty much any distance. | |||

* Vacuums opponents on block. | |||
* Fatal Counter | |||
< | |||
Izayoi’s scariest normal by far. {{clr|C|2C}} is always plus, no matter what defensive option the opponent picks. She can use it quite often as it frame traps both from ''and into'' {{clr|C|5C}}. Being two hits, keen opponents will be able to react to the first hit and IB the second. If that happens Izayoi can still frame trap with {{clr|A|2A}}, as {{clr|B|5C}} will lose to 5 and 6 frame jabs. | |||
</ | |||
{{ | |||
| | |||
| | |||

|} | |||
{{clr|C|2C}} is also amazing as a combo tool as it deals huge damage and scales only once. Izayoi can easily combo into it with a counterhit or if {{clr|C|5C}} hits a crouching opponent, which helps her hoverdash mixup damage. If they got hit, they were crouching! | |||

*Forces crouch on hit. | |||
*Jump cancelable on hit or block. | |||
{{clr|A|6A}} is a relatively situational normal. It’s best used early in a blockstring as an automatic frame trap from {{clr|A|2A}}. This gap is small enough that it will crush OD OS attempts into a juicy counterhit. {{clr|A|6A}} also makes for a good non-CH punish (should it come up) as it’s forced crouch state enables strong combos in GA mode with {{clr|C|5C}} > {{clr|C|2C}}. | |||

Izayoi's command overhead. Cancelable into air special moves and can be feigned, although feigning is vulnerable to fuzzy block/jump. Only gatlings from {{clr|C|2C}} and GA {{clr|C|5C}}. Not very useful as a mixup tool but makes up for that with its bonus proration. | |||

This move can close a lot of space mid pressure, especially in conjunction with {{clr|C|5C}}. {{clr|C|6C}} is Izayoi’s only normal that is plus (+1 specifically) on normal block after being stance cancelled and is a natural frame trap after her {{clr|B|B}} and {{clr|C|C}} normals. This normal also makes for a decent combo starter, but it’s more useful for gaining Zero Weave stocks than going for max damage. | |||

Not very useful. It’s an extra low but using it ends Izayoi’s turn as her only option is to special cancel it afterwards. The knockdown also hurts her combos after as {{clr|B|236B}} loses the hard knockdown needed to continue the combo after. | |||

</ | {{clr|C|3C}} is long ranged slide kick and a high risk, high reward combo starter.

It’s also the exact same startup as her fastest possible 66j.{{clr|A|A}} which can trip up opponents that are expecting the overhead. | ||

j.{{clr|A|A}} is a staple air-to-air tool, boasting only 9 frames of recovery alongside amazing range. This normal is great, and even cancels into airthrow for TRM setups. Doesn't turn into a lot of damage as a starter, but can create a great situation for very low risk. | |||

Amazing space control, and serves well off single jumps, superjumps, airdashes, backwards airdashes, you name it. Crossups, F-Shikis, neutral, this normal is all purpose. Takes a bit of respect to get going on offense due to speed, but can open up a ton of approach and mixup options. Make your opponent respect this, you won't regret it. Used in conjunction with air Sonic Sabre and other movement options, this normal is what makes Gain Art so threatening. | |||

5D and 2D are a bit similar on the surface, but there are 2 major things that may make you want to use one over the other. Firstly, the hurtboxes vary. 2D produces a longer horizontal hurtbox, and 5D a longer vertical hurtbox. This also comes into play with mode change combos, where you may increase frame advantage during D saber combos by moving your opponent's hurtbox in a certain way by either standing or crouching. This is hurtbox-specific, so mess around with it! Secondly, 5D cuts all grounded momentum and 2D preserves it, meaning a Mode Change combo into a pickup will prefer to use dash 2D to close space, or maybe even 5D to retain it. | {{clr|5|5D}} and {{clr|5|2D}} are a bit similar on the surface, but there are 2 major things that may make you want to use one over the other.

In normal mode, throw | Izayoi's throws are a bit awkward to combo from, as their wallbounce is influenced by screen position. Izayoi throws the opponent to the edge of the screen to wall bounce, so when you're near the corner they won't go fullscreen. Therefore, you end up with a lot of ways to adjust throw combos that you need to know. In normal mode, throw tends to yield poor reward as a midscreen starter, requiring Izayoi to sacrifice a knockdown or stocks compared to her usual starters. In corner, however, throw reward is generally better than what she gets from other common starters with a little optimisation. | ||
The first hit of throw can be RC'd for huge damage and amazing proration, not to mention an incredibly flexible hit state, making throw an extremely dangerous option with various resources. | |||
Her back throw is almost entirely the same as forward throw, but allows you to adjust your spacing properly. Certain spacings in relation to the corner will yield a good combo off backwards throw, but not forward throw! Interestingly enough, delaying your RC before the second hit can allow you to side swap to create better positioning for a followup combo. | |||

Grabs the opponent and dive bombs them. Has great corner carry depending on the height at which you catch them. Because Izayoi always dive bombs and ground bounces, this air throw is very consistent. Compliments Izayoi's air normals thanks to its high hitbox. However, it comes with a lot more recovery on whiff. Does have a bit of landing recovery, but landing during the startup or active can negate it.

One of the best Counter Assaults in the game, this move has great horizontal and vertical range. The animation mirrors her GA 6C, but with a slightly shorter step. This is very useful, as it can catch someone attempting to jump on their pressure instead of going underneath. Coupled with its high vertical range, sometimes it can be difficult to punish. Additionally, it'll send the opponent flying regardless of CH state. This gives Izayoi amazing breathing room regardless of the mode she's in. | One of the best Counter Assaults in the game despite it being one of the slowest, this move has great horizontal and vertical range.

Pretty difficult to combo into without spending lots of resources, and those confirms usually only yield an increase of around 400 to 500 damage. However, when CT is comboable easily, the increase in damage is significant and is almost always worth the meter, usually increasing the damage by about 1000.

* Cancellable into {{clr|D|214D}} from Frame 19 in Gain Art mode. | |||
Izayoi's signature projectile. A small, fast moving shot that flies straight ahead. Plays a huge role in her neutral game. Like the rest of her specials in normal mode, Sonic Sabre generates one Zero Weave stock on block and two on hit. Reasonably safe on block at point blank, making it a solid pressure reset, but its startup can get stuffed by fast normals on IB. Notably, Izayoi's shooting animation can make her evade some reversals. | |||
{{ | |||
While in Gain Art mode, this move sees less use since it won't gain any stocks and doesn't do much in combos, however it can still be used as a cheaper version of using {{clr|D|236D}} to activate {{clr|D|214D}} from. | |||

* Cancellable into {{clr|D|214D}} from Frame 16 in Gain Art mode. | |||
The air version of Sonic Sabre. Has a slightly faster startup, stopping Izayoi's momentum and making her rise while shooting the projectile. After the recovery, Izayoi can move freely, but still carries the landing recovery until she hits the floor. It is possible to be blocking on the way down and still be punished on landing, so cancel the falling animation with something if possible. Great for stuffing anti-airs and approaches while gaining stocks, but still has the same small hitbox as the grounded version. | |||

Izayoi's only dedicated anti-air and decent for space control against jumps. She moves forward a little bit, so there's a bit of a deadzone right above her head when attempting to use the head invulnerability to attack. Generally, its usage is going to revolve around controlling space at its max range, though neglecting it while on defense is a big mistake. A bit difficult to use as an anti-air thanks to needing a 623 motion, but still very plausible thanks to how quickly the head invincibility kicks in. | |||
In normal mode, {{clr|B|623B}} lacks combo options unless the opponent is cornered or Izayoi scores a counterhit. Its speed and angle also allow her to score stocks late in a combo when a jump cancel or {{clr|C|623C}} ender aren't available. | |||
{| | |||
{{ | |||

In Gain Art, she can convert from it relatively easily thanks to moves like Strike Fall and {{clr|D|D}} Mirage Thruster. Also functions as a late combo tool, opening up Strike Fall confirms when otherwise impossible. | |||
---- | ---- | ||
'''Cancel''' | |||
* | Technically a longer cancel animation than that of {{clr|B|236B}}/{{clr|C|C}}, but cancels earlier than them for the same total minimum duration (17F total). The short duration of the stance cancel can be used to sneak in pressure resets and cancel certain moves (such as throw) to enable combos. The following list shows all normals that benefit from the fastest possible cancel and the resulting frame (dis)advantage: | ||
* | |||
* | * {{clr|C|6C}}: +1 | ||
* {{clr|C|5C}}, {{clr|C|2C}}, {{clr|C|3C}}: -1 | |||
* {{clr|B|5B}}, {{clr|B|2B}}: -4 | |||
GA by default has great frame data and generally doesn't need to stance cancel for this purpose, but it is still useful for tricky offense by stance cancelling {{clr|C|2C}} to mess with people trying to IB or barrier the second hit. | |||

In Normal Mode, air Alpha is usually seen as an alternate combo ender to {{clr|C|j.C}} that sacrifices a knockdown for two guaranteed stocks. Typically used in place of {{clr|B|j.236B}}/{{clr|C|236C}} as it technically does the most damage of the three. It can also function as a niche air-to-air as it covers space that Izayoi's other attacks, including grounded {{clr|B|623B}}, would not. It's almost impossible to combo after hitting this move in Normal Mode, and she'll only get conversions from CHs very close to the corner. | |||

{{clr|B|236B}} functions mainly as a pressure tool and a combo part. In pressure, it is used to create respect, functioning as a very good frame trap. Off of {{clr|B|5B}} and {{clr|B|2B}} on block, it catches jump startup after both normal block and IB. In conjunction with being a low, it's relatively easy to make your opponent stay on the ground. The threat of this move can go a long way, carrying the same animation as {{clr|C|236C}} on charge, making feints very deceptive. Relatively negative on block but can be canceled into teleports and Astraea. | |||
As a combo tool, {{clr|B|236B}} allows Izayoi to transition into another special move for stocks in Normal Mode and into an air combo in Gain Art using teleport cancels. Getting used to {{clr|B|236B}} > ''214X'' is vital to dealing any consequential damage for Izayoi in either mode. Also keep note that both distance and combo starter change what teleport between {{clr|A|214A}} and {{clr|B|214B}} she needs to use. | |||

Great combo tool in the corner as many of Izayoi's routes implement {{clr|B|6B}} to keep them close to the ground and avoid having to spend stocks for damage. Also used to convert off of {{clr|A|j.A}} {{keyword|F-Shiki}} as it's the only cancel from that normal that will actually combo. | |||
{{clr|B|j.236B}} is exceptionally useful after backdashing in Gain Art as it's Izayoi's fastest way to punish whiffs from that position. Like {{clr|C|j.236C}}, it can either lead to a knockdown with Strike Fall or a combo with {{clr|D|j.214D}}, although these both require a Zero Weave stock. | |||

Izayoi's staple combo ender, teleports Izayoi above her opponent and does a falling slash straight downwards. Strike Fall serves as a follow up to Crusade Seraphim Alpha and Aegis Blade while in Gain art. It is only possible to do Strike Fall on hit, which allows option select confirms into Strike Fall with another cancel option on block or whiff. On hit, has an enormous amount of untechable time, usually leading into some kind of workable knockdown or combo extension. Izayoi has plenty of time to safejump with her normal jump or hoverdash. | |||
Strike Fall is more advantageous the higher Izayoi does it from. From {{clr|B|623B}} and {{clr|C|623C}}, Strike Fall will only be able to link into {{clr|A|5A}} and Phorizor. After a j.{{clr|B|B}}{{clr|C|C}} staircase combo, Strike fall will link into {{clr|A|6A}}, {{clr|B|5B}}, and {{clr|C|5C}}.

Izayoi teleports a preset distance to a location based on whichever button you use to activate the move. {{clr|A|A}} teleports in place, {{clr|B|B}} teleports forward and {{clr|C|C}} teleports backwards. The {{clr|A|A}}, {{clr|B|B}}, and {{clr|C|C}} teleports are usable in both Normal Mode and Gain Art, and are cancellable into most attacks before fully recovering, so teleport cancels (mostly the {{clr|A|A}} version) can allow her to link buttons off moves like {{clr|B|236B}}. | |||
The {{clr|D|D}} version of the teleport is usable only in Gain Art and requires 1 Zero Weave stock, but is also available in the air. {{clr|D|214D}} tracks the opponent and always puts her behind them whether on the ground or in the air, but will only meet airborne opponents in the air above a certain height (usually just above normal jump height); below this height, Izayoi will simply teleport to the ground beneath them. It's also significantly faster than the normal teleports but not cancellable into attacks towards the end. | |||
Note that {{clr|A|A}}/{{clr|B|B}}/{{clr|C|C}} teleport cancels are very negative (even if they build a lot of space) and can be punished by opponents who are ready for them. Use Astraea in Gain Art to discourage this. | |||

Izayoi lunges forward during the startup which give it its amazing range and combined with the high pushback of EAs makes it harder to punish than others.

Overview
Izayoi plays between two modes: Her defensive Normal Mode, and her offensive Gain Art Mode. In Gain Art Mode, Izayoi has a strong damage potential, powerful mixup, and amazing movement options. By balancing these two modes properly, Izayoi can switch from patient neutral play to aggressive rushdown. While Normal Mode has average movement options and relatively low damage, she reaps the reward in Gain Art Mode. One of Izayoi's trademark features is her huge toolset. From a projectile, to stance cancels, to various plus on block normals, Izayoi has a variety of tools for any given situation.
While Izayoi is a strong character, she requires quick decision making and good game sense. She has many tools, but they often fit specific situations. This can make it difficult for newer players to learn Izayoi, and can give experienced players a hard time with their decision making. Generally speaking, Izayoi is average difficulty to pick up, but hard to master. Should you decide to take it up a notch, Izayoi has a high skill ceiling and rewards dedicated players with amazing mixup tools and damage.Health |

Izayoi's Drive allows her to enter an alternate mode called Gain Art (GA for short) that changes her C normals, and gives her new dashes, special moves (all using the D button), and extensions to existing special moves. Izayoi changes modes by pressing 5D/2D/j.D. Visually, Izayoi's sword will change to a green colour (Regardless of the colour palette), and the "Eye" at the end of the zero weave gauge will open up.
While in Gain Art Mode, Izayoi gains tremendous mix-up and pressure potential, contrasting the defensive style of her normal mode. However, there is a limit to Gain Art Mode.
Izayoi has a unique gauge called the Zero Weave Gauge. This gauge has 8 stocks that Izayoi must spend in order to perform Gain Art-only specials and Gain Art extensions. Izayoi gains stocks by landing special moves during normal mode. On hit, each special generates 2 stocks. On block (Including Guard points), each special generates 1 stock. Keep in mind that Izayoi does not need any stocks in the Zero Weave Gauge to change modes. Special move extensions in GA are the foundation behind Gain Art pressure and combos. Effective usage of normal mode to generate stocks and Gain Art to spend them is the key to success!
Izayoi's Overdrive provides several buffs: Izayoi passively gains stocks, her Distortion Drives become stronger, and her Gain Arts specials receive several buffs.
Depending on Izayoi's mode, she gains stocks at different rates. Remember, In OD Izayoi can still generate stocks by hitting an opponent with a special, or forcing them to block a special.
- In Normal Mode, Izayoi gains 1 stock/ ~.67 seconds (~40F)
- In Gain Arts, Izayoi gains 1 stock/ ~1 second (~60F)
Like other characters, her Distortion Drives become stronger during Overdrive as well:
- Justice Phorizer increases in range and damage
- Slaver Trans-am lasts approximately twice as long.
Normal Moves
5A
- Whiffs on most crouching hurtboxes.
Relatively standard 5A. Izayoi's fastest move, and is used to pick up from some air combos. Also useful as an anti-air in a pinch, particularly against IADs. 2A makes for a better pressure tool than 5A overall, limiting its use.

- Izayoi’s main poking normal.
This move is capable of tagging most characters from round start positions. It is not infallible as it can be low profiled and extends Izayoi’s hurtbox, but these are downsides that can be played around. This normal is incredible and is the core of Izayoi’s ground game alongside 2B and NM 2C. Can be confirmed into 236B or 236C at any range. Commonly cancelled into Sonic Sabre for pressure.

- Functionally a “close” normal.
- Izayoi's only jump cancelable C normal on block.
This normal does it all while packing a punch. Solid base damage, prorates well, and opens up a good amount of combo and pressure options. Cornerstone in Gain Art combos, usually being used to combo into 2C against crouching opponents or into an air combo on airborne ones.
5C also plays a huge role in GA pressure, allowing Izayoi to close space with an IAD if necessary. Its frame advantage being so good can let Izayoi steal a turn, especially considering the Gatling into 2C. More on that normal later.

Standard speed for a 2A, but comes with good reach and a bunch of other great properties. It's also a low. Like most 2As, this cancels into throw, but it's often better to go for 5Aw> BC to TRM an opponent.
Being +1 on block for a 2A is amazing for Izayoi’s pressure and it hitting low is the icing on the cake. It is much easier for Izayoi to threaten a throw (or a hover dash pressure reset in GA) than most other characters.

- Strong non-attribute low-profile.
A bit similar in usage to 2A, but comes with a bit more startup and extra range. 2B is an excellent button overall and is useful in both modes. It will go under a surprising amount of pokes, as well as being a passable anti-air. 2B leads to combos that are about the same as 2A due to them both being S starters, but 2B will lead to better damage due to better scaling.

- Forces Fatal Counter on counterhit.
- Staggers on counterhit.
A staple of Izayoi's ground game in Normal mode. Extremely good disjointed hitbox, low hurtbox, and a high amount of active frames makes this move very difficult to whiff punish. A bit on the slow side for a neutral poke, but controls space extremely well and maintains a good frame disadvantage with a Stance cancel. Wins trades for free and is a great counterpoke to boot. The stagger is long enough that Izayoi can switch modes and hoverdash in at pretty much any distance.

Izayoi’s scariest normal by far. 2C is always plus, no matter what defensive option the opponent picks. She can use it quite often as it frame traps both from and into 5C. Being two hits, keen opponents will be able to react to the first hit and IB the second. If that happens Izayoi can still frame trap with 2A, as 5C will lose to 5 and 6 frame jabs.
2C is also amazing as a combo tool as it deals huge damage and scales only once. Izayoi can easily combo into it with a counterhit or if 5C hits a crouching opponent, which helps her hoverdash mixup damage. If they got hit, they were crouching!

6A is a relatively situational normal. It’s best used early in a blockstring as an automatic frame trap from 2A. This gap is small enough that it will crush OD OS attempts into a juicy counterhit. 6A also makes for a good non-CH punish (should it come up) as it’s forced crouch state enables strong combos in GA mode with 5C > 2C.

This move can close a lot of space mid pressure, especially in conjunction with 5C. 6C is Izayoi’s only normal that is plus (+1 specifically) on normal block after being stance cancelled and is a natural frame trap after her B and C normals. This normal also makes for a decent combo starter, but it’s more useful for gaining Zero Weave stocks than going for max damage.

j.A is Izayoi’s fastest air normal out of her GA hoverdash and the only way she can get two overheads out of the shortest possible dash. Mixing between j.AA and j.A > 2A is very difficult to block consistently, especially if Izayoi uses her other air normals alongside it.

Strong mixup tool while still reaping the rewards of a good combo starter rating. Gatlings back into j.A for a falling 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. on grounded opponents. Its usage is slightly limited by how good her other air normals are, but is still one of the better options for hitting opponents higher up in the air than Izayoi.

j.C is a great jump in, hitting crouching hitboxes when done immediately off of an IAD. Against anti airs, it can tag a lot of AA's on their startup before invulnerability kicks in, forcing pre-emptive action. Both of these uses play a big part in Izayoi's neutral, making j.C a big part of Normal Mode play. Midcombo, it can set up a knockdown or relaunches.

This normal is THE staple in Izayoi's GA approach. Huge, very hard to disrespect. Beats a ton of anti airs, air to airs, movement options, and other extended hitboxes. Amazing space control, and serves well off single jumps, superjumps, airdashes, backwards airdashes, you name it. Crossups, F-Shikis, neutral, this normal is all purpose. Takes a bit of respect to get going on offense due to speed, but can open up a ton of approach and mixup options. Make your opponent respect this, you won't regret it. Used in conjunction with air Sonic Sabre and other movement options, this normal is what makes Gain Art so threatening.

- Changes from Gain Art to Normal Mode, or vice versa
- Mode Switch on 11F
5D and 2D are a bit similar on the surface, but there are 2 major things that may make you want to use one over the other. Firstly, the hurtboxes vary. 2D produces a longer horizontal hurtbox, and 5D a longer vertical hurtbox. This also comes into play with mode change combos, where you may increase frame advantage during D saber combos by moving your opponent's hurtbox in a certain way by either standing or crouching. This is hurtbox-specific, so mess around with it! Secondly, 5D cuts all grounded momentum and 2D preserves it, meaning a Mode Change combo into a pickup will prefer to use dash 2D to close space, or maybe even 5D to retain it.
If Izayoi is hit before the mode change, she will stay in her current form. However, this move is very fast so it's likely that Izayoi will change modes and then get hit.

A bit more useful than 5D or 2D, jD falls in between the two in terms of their properties. Because it halts momentum to a degree, you can use it to stall in the air and come down with a normal. Useful for punishing pre-emptive anti airs.

Izayoi's throws are a bit awkward to combo from, as their wallbounce is influenced by screen position.

Therefore, you end up with a lot of ways to adjust throw combos that you need to know. In normal mode, throw tends to yield poor reward as a midscreen starter, requiring Izayoi to sacrifice a knockdown or stocks compared to her usual starters. In corner, however, throw reward is generally better than what she gets from other common starters with a little optimisation.
The first hit of throw can be RC'd for huge damage and amazing proration, not to mention an incredibly flexible hit state, making throw an extremely dangerous option with various resources.
Her back throw is almost entirely the same as forward throw, but allows you to adjust your spacing properly. Certain spacings in relation to the corner will yield a good combo off backwards throw, but not forward throw! Interestingly enough, delaying your RC before the second hit can allow you to side swap to create better positioning for a followup combo.

- 100% minimum damage
- Great rising Air to Air
- Consistent combos regardless of height
- Ground bounces
Grabs the opponent and dive bombs them. Has great corner carry depending on the height at which you catch them. Because Izayoi always dive bombs and ground bounces, this air throw is very consistent. Compliments Izayoi's air normals thanks to its high hitbox. However, it comes with a lot more recovery on whiff. Does have a bit of landing recovery, but landing during the startup or active can negate it. Pretty similar to her ground throws in terms of comboability, but sacrifices good spacing in exchange for consistency and shorter combo time. Unfortunately, can't be RC'd on the first hit like its grounded counterparts.

- Amazing vertical hitbox
- Great positioning on hit for tech option cover
- Launches the opponent
- Longer untech time on CH, but opponent can still air tech
One of the best Counter Assaults in the game despite it being one of the slowest, this move has great horizontal and vertical range. The animation mirrors her GA 6C, but with a slightly shorter step. This is very useful, as it can catch someone attempting to jump on their pressure instead of going underneath. Coupled with its high vertical range, sometimes it can be difficult to punish. Additionally, it'll send the opponent flying regardless of CH state. This gives Izayoi amazing breathing room regardless of the mode she's in.

Pretty standard Crush Trigger, but carries extremely short horizontal range. Pretty difficult to combo into without spending lots of resources, and those confirms usually only yield an increase of around 400 to 500 damage. However, when CT is comboable easily, the increase in damage is significant and is almost always worth the meter, usually increasing the damage by about 1000. Funnily enough, can stuff a significant amount of air approaches.

236A
- Versatile neutral and pressure tool.
- 0 on block at max 5B range.
- Cancellable into 214D from Frame 19 in Gain Art mode.
Izayoi's signature projectile. A small, fast moving shot that flies straight ahead. Plays a huge role in her neutral game. Like the rest of her specials in normal mode, Sonic Sabre generates one Zero Weave stock on block and two on hit. Reasonably safe on block at point blank, making it a solid pressure reset, but its startup can get stuffed by fast normals on IB. Notably, Izayoi's shooting animation can make her evade some reversals.
While in Gain Art mode, this move sees less use since it won't gain any stocks and doesn't do much in combos, however it can still be used as a cheaper version of using 236D to activate 214D from.
j.236A
- Great air-to-ground neutral tool.
- Cancellable into 214D from Frame 16 in Gain Art mode.
The air version of Sonic Sabre. Has a slightly faster startup, stopping Izayoi's momentum and making her rise while shooting the projectile. After the recovery, Izayoi can move freely, but still carries the landing recovery until she hits the floor. It is possible to be blocking on the way down and still be punished on landing, so cancel the falling animation with something if possible. Great for stuffing anti-airs and approaches while gaining stocks, but still has the same small hitbox as the grounded version.

Shoots three Sonic Sabers in a fan pattern. The projectiles hang in place for a bit longer than the A version, making it more advantageous on hit or block from further away. Much harder to avoid in general, allowing her to force the opponent to block and/or eat a mixup.

Izayoi's only dedicated anti-air and decent for space control against jumps. She moves forward a little bit, so there's a bit of a deadzone right above her head when attempting to use the head invulnerability to attack. Generally, its usage is going to revolve around controlling space at its max range, though neglecting it while on defense is a big mistake. A bit difficult to use as an anti-air thanks to needing a 623 motion, but still very plausible thanks to how quickly the head invincibility kicks in.
In normal mode, 623B lacks combo options unless the opponent is cornered or Izayoi scores a counterhit. Its speed and angle also allow her to score stocks late in a combo when a jump cancel or 623C ender aren't available.
In Gain Art, she can convert from it relatively easily thanks to moves like Strike Fall and D Mirage Thruster. Also functions as a late combo tool, opening up Strike Fall confirms when otherwise impossible.
Cancel
Technically a longer cancel animation than that of 236B/C, but cancels earlier than them for the same total minimum duration (17F total). The short duration of the stance cancel can be used to sneak in pressure resets and cancel certain moves (such as throw) to enable combos. The following list shows all normals that benefit from the fastest possible cancel and the resulting frame (dis)advantage:
- 6C: +1
- 5C, 2C, 3C: -1
- 5B, 2B: -4
GA by default has great frame data and generally doesn't need to stance cancel for this purpose, but it is still useful for tricky offense by stance cancelling 2C to mess with people trying to IB or barrier the second hit.
j.623B
- Cannot be held.
- Cancelable into Strike Fall on hit.

- Additionally cancelable into 214D on startup/whiff/block during OD.
- Counterhit is untechable until the opponent hits the ground.
- Halts air momentum when used and drops Izayoi straight down during recovery.
In Normal Mode, air Alpha is usually seen as an alternate combo ender to j.C that sacrifices a knockdown for two guaranteed stocks. Typically used in place of j.236B/236C as it technically does the most damage of the three. It can also function as a niche air-to-air as it covers space that Izayoi's other attacks, including grounded 623B, would not. It's almost impossible to combo after hitting this move in Normal Mode, and she'll only get conversions from CHs very close to the corner.

236B functions mainly as a pressure tool and a combo part. In pressure, it is used to create respect, functioning as a very good frame trap. Off of 5B and 2B on block, it catches jump startup after both normal block and IB. In conjunction with being a low, it's relatively easy to make your opponent stay on the ground. The threat of this move can go a long way, carrying the same animation as 236C on charge, making feints very deceptive. Relatively negative on block but can be canceled into teleports and Astraea.
As a combo tool, 236B allows Izayoi to transition into another special move for stocks in Normal Mode and into an air combo in Gain Art using teleport cancels. Getting used to 236B > 214X is vital to dealing any consequential damage for Izayoi in either mode. Also keep note that both distance and combo starter change what teleport between 214A and 214B she needs to use.
Fastest possible stance cancel is 17 frames total. See 623B for an overview of how to use the stance cancel.
j.236B
- Cannot be held.
- Cancelable into Strike Fall on hit.
- Cancelable into 214D on hit only.
- Additionally cancelable into 214D on startup/whiff/block during OD.
- Counterhit is untechable until the opponent hits the ground.
- Halts air momentum when used and drops Izayoi straight down during recovery.
Great combo tool in the corner as many of Izayoi's routes implement 6B to keep them close to the ground and avoid having to spend stocks for damage. Also used to convert off of j.A 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. as it's the only cancel from that normal that will actually combo.
j.236B is exceptionally useful after backdashing in Gain Art as it's Izayoi's fastest way to punish whiffs from that position. Like j.236C, it can either lead to a knockdown with Strike Fall or a combo with j.214D, although these both require a Zero Weave stock.

Very handy for catching the opponent off guard in neutral, frame trapping opponents in pressure, and is an important tool for a lot of your combos. Enables 6B in corner combos which boosts Izayoi's damage output. Aside from being a frame trap, Astrea RC has enough blockstun to cover a 3C/66j.A 50/50.

Izayoi's DP. Great vertical hitbox but poor horizontal range. Be careful of opponents trying to keep their distance to bait it. However, using a 0f microdash will extend its effective horizontal range as a reversal. It's great vertical range that can help cover angles which Izayoi's other anti-airs might not. Besides being a reversal, Aegis Blade is a great combo ender for gaining stocks in Normal Mode and conserving stocks in Gain Art. Hitting an airborne opponent at around Izayoi's head height will give her an IAD safejump.
Cancel
- Remains cancelable into 214D during OD.
Has a much longer total duration than other stance cancels, clocking in at 35 total frames for the fastest possible stance cancel, making its only practical use to cancel an attempted Aegis Blade. Also has a less practical use of being instantly invulnerable for 11 or 12 frames without needing to commit to the hit or the longer recovery after it, making it able to potentially avoid and punish very specific options that a backdash or actually doing the attack may not.

Izayoi's staple combo ender, teleports Izayoi above her opponent and does a falling slash straight downwards. Strike Fall serves as a follow up to Crusade Seraphim Alpha and Aegis Blade while in Gain art. It is only possible to do Strike Fall on hit, which allows option select confirms into Strike Fall with another cancel option on block or whiff. On hit, has an enormous amount of untechable time, usually leading into some kind of workable knockdown or combo extension. Izayoi has plenty of time to safejump with her normal jump or hoverdash.
Strike Fall is more advantageous the higher Izayoi does it from. From 623B and 623C, Strike Fall will only be able to link into 5A and Phorizor. After a j.BC staircase combo, Strike fall will link into 6A, 5B, and 5C. Using j.214D after an air Slash into another staircase will let it link into even slower things like 3C. Experiment with it!

Izayoi teleports a preset distance to a location based on whichever button you use to activate the move. A teleports in place, B teleports forward and C teleports backwards. The A, B, and C teleports are usable in both Normal Mode and Gain Art, and are cancellable into most attacks before fully recovering, so teleport cancels (mostly the A version) can allow her to link buttons off moves like 236B.
The D version of the teleport is usable only in Gain Art and requires 1 Zero Weave stock, but is also available in the air. 214D tracks the opponent and always puts her behind them whether on the ground or in the air, but will only meet airborne opponents in the air above a certain height (usually just above normal jump height); below this height, Izayoi will simply teleport to the ground beneath them. It's also significantly faster than the normal teleports but not cancellable into attacks towards the end.
Note that A/B/C teleport cancels are very negative (even if they build a lot of space) and can be punished by opponents who are ready for them. Use Astraea in Gain Art to discourage this.

Extremely fast startup, great active window and a ton of invincibility. During Overdrive, Justice Phorizer gains range (reaches almost fullscreen), damage, and untechable time and can even be cancelled into 214D to be made safe.

Bit Attack | 200 per hit | All | 8 | P1 |
A powerup move: Izayoi activates two floating "bits" that float behind her. For a period of time after activation, the bits will attack whenever Izayoi uses her normal moves.
A move that allows you to take command of close range neutral games, giving you considerable safe pressure. The extra hits this can allow can allow certain combos that normally would not work as well as making basically every normal move safe. With constant attacking, you can get a max of 4 attacks out of the bits before they disappear (8 in Overdrive), so it's not worth activating this if you have to cover some distance to get to your opponent. While it has a long superflash animation and is invulnerable during the superflash animation only. It can still be used as a pause button for certain situations.
- Only can be activated during Gain Art. But Gain Art can be switched off and on afterwards as normal if desired.
- During Slaver Trans-Am, attacking with any normal move will also attack with the shield bits. Special, distortion and universal mechanic moves (Except Counter Assault) do not trigger the bit attacks.
- Timer normally lasts 6 seconds, but decreases at half the speed while overdrive is active. Whether this move was activated during overdrive is irrelevant.
- Technically invulnerable on frame 4, but invuln ends during the superflash meaning Izayoi is invulnerable for less than 1 frame. The shield bits are summoned during superflash before the invuln runs out, so they will still be successfully summoned if an attack connects on what is effectively frame 4.
- Bit attacks cover a distance similar to 5B, but aim diagonally downwards from their start point of hovering behind Izayoi at about head height.
- Shield bits will only attack if they have completely recovered from any previous attack.
- Bit attacks are active the moment they move, but take approximately 10 frames to reach full distance to hit your opponent
- Bit attacks only start when the normal move triggering it goes active. For multi hit moves, the attack only starts when the final hit goes active.
- Interrupting the normal move in any way before the bits attack will prevent the attack.
- Bit attacks uniquely have 100% P1 and P2, meaning they will always increase combo damage when used.

On startup, Izayoi thrusts her blade forward. If it connects, she commands her bits to attack her opponent, ending with a cross attack. On Active Flow, the bits attack more times.
Izayoi lunges forward during the startup which give it its amazing range and combined with the high pushback of EAs makes it harder to punish than others. Some characters can still punish it from all but max range such as Hakumen with 4c, but for most the only chance is instant blocking it at very close range.

Izayoi's Astral. She first charges towards the opponent, and upon successfully connecting proceeds to throw a lance in a very Super Robot Wars-Esque cutscene. Extremely comboable, working off of C normals, all throws...the list goes on. With such quick startup, it is arguably one of the better and more practical Astral finishes in the game.
