Overview

Overview

Lowain is an oddball character who makes use of funny gags to befuddle his opponent. He relies on his Katerpillar and his fellow Brofams to control neutral and also setup mixups. With full meter he can initiate his ultimate gimmick the HPA (Human Pyramid Attack) or call upon the mighty Yggdrasil to easily kill off unprepared opponents.

"Might just be time to bust out the formation that knocked 'em all dead back home!"
Lore:	A free spirit who was all about his part-time job, a good gab sesh with the boys, and a dash of adventure every now and then. That all changed when Katalina visited the restaurant where he worked. It was infatuation at first sight. Determined to follow her, he quit his job and began a new life as the cook on Gran's crew. He's a fair hand with a dagger, but with his buddies Elsam and Tomoi there to run interference and baffle opponents, he can really ruin an enemy's day... probably.
Voice:	English: Greg Chun/Japanese: Minoru Shiraishi

 Lowain  Lowain is a gimmicky character who summons allies to attack for him.

Pros

Cons

• Strong Okizeme options including access to unblockable setups
• Able to heal life and build up meter quickly
• Requires a lot of knowledge to fight against (scrub killer)
• Summoning playstyle allows him to throw more targets onto the screen for your opponent to deal with.
• Has two normals that are excellent for low profiling (2U, 2M)
• Has by far the best voice acting in the game, no matter which language you pick.

• Stubby normals and below average frame data
• Parry is a weak defensive option in most situations
• Difficult matchups (struggles against characters with beams or strong projectiles)
• Yggdrasil and HPA become less effective at high level play.
• It is possible to avoid almost anything Yggdrasil uses on reaction (except for Spikes)
• 22X is easily stuffed
• 214X is his only special that combos from a normal. Once this is on cooldown it's extremely difficult to finish combos.

Neutral whiff punish/poke. Has fairly long reach and only punishable by jabs (very safe poke). Can cancel into specials for additional pressure. At max range you can cancel into 214L to become + on block (usually about +1 or +2).

Combo Tool and situational anti air, but you probably want to use 2H instead. Doesn’t extend his hitbox much so it can also be a good whiff punish tool.

Anti air that leads into big punishes on hit. Has good vertical range but not much horizontal range in front of him which makes some jump in arcs a bit awkward to anti-air. It does surprisingly anti-air cross ups well. Facilitates a lot of optimal air juggle combos with 2H > 214L. On airborne opponents, this is the only normal that will combo into HPA on it's own. It's usage is very important.

Long range sweep that can lead to oki. When spaced correctly the slide is very hard to punish it will become safe at max range. The slide also has a low profile hurtbox from start to finish and is special cancelable on block and hit.

Multihitting happy feet attack. Good for mixups/pressure since every hit counts as an overhead. It also changes the trajectory of your jump a little bit due to increased floatiness. Note that it can only hit an opponent up to 6 times before the active frames are forced to run out.

Forward throw is Lowain's best throw. Gives him enough time to set up oki. His backwards throw leaves him plus but he cannot set up any summons. You cannot summon the boys when they're on screen during the throws either.

Typical air throw. The distance from which your opponent ends up after the throw varies slightly if you throw them from a higher distance. Air throwing at superjump height will put them further away and some oki setups won't work as well. This throw also has an interesting property where if you air throw an opponent into a summon the summon will hit them during the throw animation and damage them.

Can be used in unblockable setups or just a general overhead option/throw bait to keep your opponent on their toes. It has foot invul on frame 23 which makes it extremely poor as a low crush option but has the same universal frame 4 throw invul as every other universal overhead.

Projectile moves (for some reason) Calls in Sammy/Elsam or Tommy/Tomoi depending on the button you press.

• L version: Elsam slides in with a low-hitting attack.
• M version: Tomoi jumps in and splashes on the foe.
• H version: Calls both at the same time.

This is the key move for setting up unblockables. The slide hits low and Lowain is able to move around before it hits allowing him to setup a jump in or universal overhead to hit his opponent just when Elsam slides. The brofams are very susceptible to active hitboxes. Any hitbox will hit a brofam and their attack will be negated. However, on hit, the brofams will soak up 1 hit of a projectile. Brofams will continue to attack even if Lowain is hit or blocking which makes some trade situations possible. The brofams' attacks come out faster the closer Lowain is to the edge of the screen.

The brofams will despawn when performing either of Lowain's supers.

Parry.

• L version: Counters highs and mids.
• M version: Counters low hits.
• H version: Counters everything but throws.

Note that he cannot parry unblockable attacks. His parry is also a guard point type parry which means your opponent can cancel the attack that triggers the parry if they are able to. An aware opponent can protect themselves by cancelling their normals into spotdodge or DP to avoid the parry followup. If they spotdodge, Lowain is left negative but not punishable.

He can also combo off of his parries near the corner. You can only combo from parry if they land a high jump in for his L and H parries. M Parry will always give you a chance to follow up if you land it near the corner.

Advancing move. Performs a quick slash attack with fast recovery. This is your major combo extender/ender.

• L version: Has a slower start-up. This is plus on block if spaced/Meaty (up to +5) and in general is unpunishable from any range. As well if done meaty last frame can block 11f DPs
• M and H version: Has a fast start-up and extra attacks. Your primary damage ender if you can combo into it.
• H version also has a fast recovery and can wall bounce. Extremely important for extended combos.

All versions become airborne after startup allowing you to go over some low hitting attacks.

Summons the mighty (and imaginary) Lady Katapillar into battle. One of your major sources of neutral and okizeme.

• L version: Does small punches forward. The punches can clash projectiles if you're lucky.
• M version: Fires a thin Aether Beam at slightly upward angle. Opponent can duck under it at max range. Excellent for zoning and to answer your opponent's projectiles.
• H version: Performs a rocket barrage. This can instantly give you a free chance to get in if the missiles come out.

Listed startup is how long it takes Katapillar to actually do the attack. Lowain can act 34F after inputting the move. The Katerpillar is very susceptible to active hitboxes. Any hitbox will hit Katerpillar and her attack will be negated. Katerpillar will continue to attack even if Lowain is hit or blocking which makes some trade situations possible.

Unleashes the final form of the Lowain Bros. Enters Pyramid stance which grants boosted movement speed but you cannot block in this stance. This has a time limit (shows up as a gauge under Lowain's health bar) before he reverts back to normal. HPA has unlimited armor and he is completely immune to throws of all kinds. Note that if your HP drops to zero Lowain will die.

HPA is most safely used to end corner combos. If your opponent is unprepared you can use the high and low options to mix up your opponent or to chip them out.

Note the activation has no armor until after the flash (cannot be used as reversal).

Summons (an imaginary) Yggdrasil into battle in place of Lowain for a time period (a gauge will show up under Lowain's health bar). Also comes with her own moves (see below). Attacks hitting Yggdrasil have 50% of their damage reduced, and she can't be knocked out. Her skills deal big damage at just about any range, so give her a call when it's about time to finish off the foe. All of her attacks can be spotdodged individually or avoided. When the timer runs out Lowain has punishable recovery frames. Make sure you finish them off or you push them far enough to avoid being punished.

Since it's a knowledge check instead of guaranteed damage, it's slightly less useful against experienced players (you still deals ridiculous chip damage) However, Lowain disappears when this move goes active. So it can be used as a very expensive get-out-of-jail-free card if you're in a pinch since it does have frame 1 invincibility.

Note that using the easy input (236S+U) will result in 10% less damage on all moves.
