A counter. It sucks.


Unlike many other BlazBlue guard point or counter-style attacks, Hakumen only parries based on how the move needs to be guarded. In {{clr|D|5D}}'s case, he'll counter attacks that hit High and Mid and lose to lows. Use this to beat slow moves that you can't just interrupt with {{clr|C|5C}}. It's slow to startup and very punishable, although it gives one magatama on hit and a decent chunk of damage, so it's not all bad.

Overview
Overview

Mr. Hero is here to show you what it's like to be a complete tool!

Perhaps the single definition of "all bark and no bite", Hakumen has a clear idea of what he wishes to accomplish in his CT debut, but is horribly incomplete. To start off on what's good about Hakumen, he has very high damage potential and decent pokes. Now for the bad. Hakumen is almost as immobile as Tager, with terrible "hop dashes" uniquely having zero frames of invincibility on either his forward or back dash. His damage output on an average hit is pathetic, with his Magatama Meter mechanic holding him back from doing any real damage unless he saves all of it up to cash out on a single hit, ultimately making his explosive damage output worthless as any other character would've killed in that time. And of course, his pressure is terrible, with his only overhead options requiring a large amount of meter and the aforementioned problems preventing him from running any kind of pressure at all.

The end result is a character thoroughly marred by mediocrity, fighting with resource management to accomplish what multiple other characters get to do for free. Although he has a great anti-air and strange low crush options, he can't actually manage to get anyone to respect him for any extended period of time. Even if he happens to find a character who needs to resort to blocking, then the question of "what's Hakumen supposed to do here" gets asked. The answer is, unsurprisingly, nothing.

So basically, Hakumen's strength in this game is lore accurate.

Hakumen Hakumen really wishes you'd get hit by 41236C, as he doesn't get any damage otherwise.

The Eight Stars of the Haku-to
Hakumen has a unique meter system. His Heat gauge is visually divided up into 8 "Magatama" stocks, which represent 12.5% heat gauge each. Hakumen must use his Magatama stocks to perform any of his special moves, in addition to the universal usages for Heat. Whilst this mostly just functions as a stylized Heat gauge (Rapid cancels still cost half of a full meter, or 4 Magatama, for example), the way Hakumen's Heat is generated is quite different; he gains Heat slowly over time without having to do anything, but on hit only gains a very low amount to offset this.

180 5 3 6 +3 HB

A very quick, plus on block jab. As you may have guessed, it whiffs on crouchers, which just makes it a glorified anti-air.

Useful for that purpose if nothing else, but only when Hakumen is in situations where he can't access his immaculate 6A, a rare situation typically the result of him getting crossed up.

620 10 2 15 0 HB

A strong mid-range poke with an awkward hitbox.

While effective at contesting other characters' buttons and remaining very safe, 5B has a bad tendency to whiff on crouchers. In these situations, it's advised to interchange it with 2B to catch people attempting to stuff or duck under this.

1110 14 2 27 -12 HBF

Kind of a terrible button, but also amazing.

5C sets the ground for the rest of Hakumen's sword normals here, dealing a ton of damage on its own, having a very large hitbox, and leading to even higher damage if Hakumen's loaded on enough resources to let it count. But at the same time, it's also quite slow to start up with terrible recovery. As such, it's best used when Hakumen has meter to spend to try and make himself safer. Has surprising use at the start of a round, and also knocks down aerial opponents.

160 ALL 6 3 8 +1 F

Probably the best crouching jab in the game.

Plus on block with huge range, the only downside is that it doesn't hit low. The reward on hit isn't stellar, as is typical of a jab, but being a 6f button with so much range makes it hard to complain about. Use it a lot.

600 LA 9 2 10 +2 F

Fantastic low poke with little recovery.

While it doesn't have as much range as 5B and won't catch jumpers, 2B does just about everything else. The advantage on block combined with the speed and low hit makes it a staple of Hakumen's mid-range presence. Not many approaches can easily circumvent this button.

1030 HL 13 3 34 -18 HBF

A very high damaging and launching anti-air, but it's not 6A so you won't want to use it often for this purpose.

Instead, 2C is more or less a combo tool, a running theme with Hakumen's sword normals. It's jump cancellable on hit for very damaging aerial combos, but on block Hakumen is nearly guaranteed to die, so get to cancelling fast.

620 HL 11 3 18 +2 HB 3~13 H

Godlike anti-air. One of Hakumen's best moves.

Plus on block and staggers on hit for combos, and is one of the few normals Hakumen has that can gatling. This gatling leads into 6B for a knockdown on hit, although 6A is sadly not special cancellable which prevents any real mixup grime from being done here. Sees use as a frametrap as well, since the reward is so high and the risk is so small.

930 LA 13 3 23 -9 F 4~15 F

A low-hitting, foot-invulnerable move.

More or less a counterpoke option and occasional low "mixup." Just gives a basic knockdown on a regular hit, but options open up significantly on a counterhit thanks to a huge bounce, ultimately being one of Hakumen's most reliable ways to get cheap, big damage. Unsafe on block, so be ready to cancel this.

Was made into an overhead in future games so Hakumen could actually open people up.

1640 ALL 17 3 30 -14 HB

Chargeable, combo filler sword swipe.

Deals a lot of damage if you can hit someone with it, but that's about it. Both slow and unsafe on block. Can be used against Tager in neutral at least, since its large range is difficult for him to contest or punish. This is also Hakumen's only move that combos into his super, Shippu, without requiring a counterhit previously. This is easy to access after Gurren, and is helpful for Hakumen spending his Magatama for damage.

A punish and nothing more. Look at that frame advantage. Using 3C and having it blocked is a historic joke among Hakumen players for just how bad it is.

That said, it's good at its one job. Great speed and range along with a knockdown. On a counterhit, it's possible to followup with a combo, with 2C yielding the best results.

A great jump-in.

Hakumen's j.B hits surprisingly deep for its speed, making it great for approaches or for pressure. Although it lacks gatlings, it can be used as a double overhead option on select characters by jump cancelling it into another, rising j.B. This will require an extensive amount of meter for a combo, but it's an option for a character who desperately needs them.

Demolishes the air. Anyone who wishes to compete with this in the air can try, but they'll usually just die.

Slow to start up so it's far from infallible, but carries a massive disjointed hitbox and a ton of damage. If it's not being used in neutral, it's Hakumen's only real air combo ender, sadly blasting them all the way to the other side of the screen with no real followup. At the very least, this is really useful in the corner, as it acts as another part of Hakumen's highly damaging corner loop.

A very strange button that only sees use in corner combos, but does a lot for them.

Bounces the opponent up on hit in an odd way, letting Hakumen easily follow up with an airdash j.C for big damage. In the corner it also leads to very easy and high damaging loops, assuming you can get them in the corner to get smacked around by this.

It's also a decent option against projectiles due to its speed, and being a jumping normal means Hakumen doesn't risk much using it to stop zoners.

The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame. ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame. RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles. Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked. AttributeSome attacks are invulnerable to attacks with specific attributes.

A counter. It sucks.

Unlike many other BlazBlue guard point or counter-style attacks, Hakumen only parries based on how the move needs to be guarded. In 5D's case, he'll counter attacks that hit High and Mid and lose to lows. Use this to beat slow moves that you can't just interrupt with 5C. It's slow to startup and very punishable, although it gives one magatama on hit, swaps sides, and a chunk of damage, so it's not all bad.

A quicker counter. Better, but still dangerous to use.

Beats lows and mids and is active immediately, although not for very long. Best used against very predictable frametraps or setups. Deals less damage than its standing counterpart, but still gets a star and swaps sides on hit.
