GGACR/Anji Mito

From Dustloop Wiki
Overview
Overview

Anji is an all-around character whose main mechanic is his autoguard, which allows him to block during portions of some of his attacks. He can work at close to mid range with varying degrees of effectiveness. His tools, while each strong in specific situations, don't fit any "jack of all trades scenarios", making Anji tricky both to play and to deal with.

Anji has an extensive mixup game with a variety of lows, overheads, and throws which can break open opponents who don't know what to do. His most unique tools include Fuujin, Autoguard, Late Cancelling, and 3S Cancel, all explained below. Unaware opponents can be run over by him quite soundly, while experienced foes will force Anji to mix up which autoguard he uses with his other tools to greater effect.

Players who enjoy hard reads, strong offense and solid defense will love Anji and his fanciful fighting style.

 Anji Mito  Anji Mito is an all-rounder character who revolves around countering his opponents offense with autoguard and the infamous Fuujin.

Pros
Cons
  • Fuujin: Has access to a partly invincible rekka starter that covers lots of horizontal space, and leads to damage and setplay on hit and mixups on block.
  • Potent Okizeme: When given a butterfly setup, Anji gets access to strong mixup and an unblockable setup with meter.
  • Tricky Mixup Tools: 3P, Fuujin followups, and his oki setups give Anji great tools for opening up targets.
  • Autoguard: Several normals allow Anji to proceed unimpeded through abare attempts, and cancel his blocks into even stronger options.
  • Strong Aerial Mobility: Air stalls, On, and a unique super jump give Anji some good aerial tools.
  • High Guts Rating: Despite an average defense modifier, his guts level lets Anji survive longer than expected.
  • Fuujin isn't Foolproof: Spamming Fuujin can be turned around on Anji due to its vulnerability in its later frames. All the followups have weaknesses and counters, so a good opponent will take advantage of careless attacks.
  • Shut Down by Butterfly Oki Counters: Reversals and characters with means around it can put Anji in a struggle.
  • Very Specialized: Anji has a wider moveset than normal, and each move is necessary for specific situations.
Several of Anji's moves have a property where they will automatically block moves that make contact, depending on the type of move: Low Autoguard will only block lows, and High Autoguard will block mid, high, and projectile attacks. He can cancel his move into one of four Autoguard Followups if he blocks something during autoguard, and these are very fast and in some cases are guaranteed to connect.

A fast frame trap with early autoguard frames.

  • Has autoguard on FRAME 1, meaning instant access to Anji's autoguard moves.
  • Potentially unsafe to throw out if left uncancelled.
  • Has no true gatlings besides 3P which acts as a frame trap to discourage punishment when 6K is not cancelled.
  • Can be late cancelled into 5K on hit, block or whiff during the final 10 frames.
    • A 5F gap on block between 6K and 5K provides another frame trap discourage mashing.
    • At Level 3 Stagger, on 6K CH, the 5K will link and provide a combo.
  • FRC or RC can be used to further make 6K safe with FRC leading to good combos or the ability to continue your pressure.

Gatling Options: 3P

Additional Frame Data: Staggers opponent on ground CH (max 37F). FRC timing 11~12F. Can be late cancelled into 5K from 24F onwards.

34 Mid 13 4 17 -7 7~12F High Guardpoint 3

An extremely far poke covering a large portion of the screen in front of Anji.

  • Can catch people jumping in or out, trying to approach, trying to poke, and potentially airdashing while still having a good autoguard just in case.
    • Unfortunately, 6S's hitbox is deceptive and only hits on the ends of the fans. This makes using 6S up close a risky option.
  • Has many gatling options.

Note: Anji does not have a f.S. 5S will activate at any range. However, 5S will automatically gatling into 6S if S is pressed again on contact.

28 High/Air 7 9 18 3

j.S is a pretty good move for most aerial scenarios.

  • Hits a good bit in front of Anji.
  • Great for SJC combos.
  • Can be used as an air-to-air or as a jump-in.
  • Frames 3-4 of start-up are affected by a unique bug with the following properties:
    • When done low enough to the ground, these frames will gain high autoguard.
    • Even when not done low to the ground, Anji will still get hit normally during those frames, but the subsequent on hit effects will treat Anji as if he blocked the attack.
    • The primary effect of being hit at a higher height is that Anji no longer is in counter hit state from frames 3-4, but it also leads to strange interactions such as:
      • No meter gain on Gold Burst.
      • No burst refill on Blue Burst.
      • No level up from Johnny's coin.
      • No follow-up animation from cinematic supers and instant kills.

Gatling Options: j.P, j.H, j.D

Additional Frame Data: High autoguard 3~4F when low close to the ground. This is a bug. See notes on bug above.

j.D is a powerful button with a few uses.

  • Can stop Anji's aerial momentum.
  • Can be used as a good air to air.
  • A pretty decent combo ender, especially in the corner where Anji can go into j.214P for a knockdown.
  • Blows back opponent on hit.

Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 90%. Blows back opponent on hit (untechable for 30F). Wallsticks opponent on CH (untechable for 84F, wallstick for 30F). Can be canceled into any jump attack except another j.D 23F onwards.

A slow moving projectile with two parts to it.

  • Once the projectile comes out and touches something, either a opponent or another projectile, it will transform and come down for two hits.
  • Allows a lot of Anji's oki game, forcing the opponent into situations weighed in Anji's favor.
  • Disappears if it doesn't touch anything in the first part for long enough or if Anji is hit at any point.

Additional Frame Data: Projectile disappears immediately if Anji gets hit. Falling butterfly has Chip damage x2. Falling butterfly: Startup of 1F after original projectile hits or is blocked, or 20F after nullifying a projectile.

236H 46 Mid 20 3 27 -16 1~12F Strike 3

Anjis's main way to get into his Fuujin followups.

  • Used in combos especially for 236S > D extensions.

Additional Frame Data: Slides opponent on air hit (untechable for 40F, slide for 20F). Can cancel into followup attacks 28F onwards.


A extremely useful tool in Anjis neutral playbook to cover opponents infront of Anji.

  • Strike invul for the first 12 frames allows Anji to go through some projectiles and moves, but can be extremely risky as the invul ends before the move is active.
  • Launch on hit allows for most of his routes, typically using 236H > D.

Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 80%. Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 38F). Fully untechable on CH. Can cancel into followup attacks 33F onwards.

A decently safe followup to Fuujin.

  • Can be airdashed out of, making it harder to punish after it hits and allowing for possible conversions.
  • FRC makes it completely safe.
  • Has a long startup making it possible to punish if the opponent is quick to react or read it. Working it in with other followups is key.

Additional Frame Data: Anji is airborne 4F onwards. FRC timing 6~8F. Auto Jump Install. Listed Frame Adv is for a standing opponent in the corner (Tested on Sol).

1~22F Throw
5

Slow overhead followup from Fuujin, all to setup some solid oki... or to fish for a disgusting counter hit. Even then, it's a way to transition into his autoguard moves during pressure with Fuujin in general.

  • A lot of overhead autoguard frames and is a fat Level 6 move on block; also neutral on block unless it's been slashbacked.
  • Works well to catch opponents off-guard, but can be beat out with a low.
  • Throw invincible helps to make opponents have to understand how to beat it.

Additional Frame Data: Slams down and knocks down opponent on hit. Groundbounces opponent and fully untechable on CH. Listed Frame Adv is when opponent blocks standing (tested on Sol). Startup to hit a crouching opponent is 31F. Blockstun 21F.

214K 50 High/Air 32 10 8 after landing +1 32~41F Feet 4

A short range overhead that can crossup.

  • Is slightly plus on block, but the number of frames depend on opponents height.
  • Can be airthrown if they predict it.

Additional Frame Data: Anji is airborne 4~27F. Feet invincible 22~27F. Knocks down opponent on hit.


Less safe and easier to react to since Anji jumps higher.

  • FRC leads to much stronger and more unpredictable mixups and is safer.

Additional Frame Data: Anji is airborne 9F onwards. Groundbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 40F). High groundbounce and fully untechable on CH. FRC timing 22~30F. Listed Frame Adv is for a standing block (tested on Sol). Auto Jump Install. Anji automatically turns to face the opponent after FRC.

Similar to normal Shitsu but the second part is now an overhead.

  • Allows Anji to perform unblockable setups.
  • Has more recovery, more range, and travels faster compared to normal Shitsu.
  • The increased range and speed make it a situationally useful move to control space.

Additional Frame Data: The falling part has Chip Damage x2. Projectile disappears instantly if Anji gets hit. Goes through other projectiles. Falling butterfly startup is 1F after hit or blocked, or 20F after nullifying a projectile.

Anji's main use of meter.

  • Ground bounces, OTGs, and does a metric ton of damage.
  • Main combo extension after H Fuujin.
  • Effectively fully throw invul since they will likely still be in block stun from the Fuujin before the followup.
  • Can be used for mix ups but the FB flash will likely give away what you're doing to an opponent who knows Anji's options.

Additional Frame Data: Ground bounces opponent on hit (untechable for 60F). Listed Frame Adv is for standing block (tested on Sol). Startup is 25F to hit a crouching opponent (tested on Sol).

Like the normal version, it is used as a response to an anti-air autoguard.

  • Trades meter build for damage and for it to be safe on block since you can air dash out.

Additional Frame Data: 1st-7th hits float opponent (2nd hit untechable for 20F, rest for 60F). 2nd-7th hits have hitstop 5F. 8th hit slams down opponent and fully untechable. Anji is in CH state until landing. FB Kou can only be used during the hitstop of an autoguarded attack.

Situationally useful when your opponent likes to stall on the top of the screen.

  • Can be air dashed out of.
  • Its start up makes it hard to combo into compared to normal ON.
  • FRC works similar to normal ON, but spending 25 meter before the FRC makes it hard to justify.

Additional Frame Data: Knocks down opponent on hit (untechable for 120F). Anji is in crouching state during landing recovery. FRC timing 19~20F. Anji can move before landing.

Useful way to tack on some extra damage in a combo.

  • Works after On.
  • Has some slight invincibility but not enough to make using it as a reversal worthwhile.
  • FRC allows you to combo out of it for some more damage.
  • If you are hit after the very start the move will still come out but you can move and follow up for free.

Additional Frame Data: Anji is in CH state during move. Dizzy modifier x0. Can pass through projectiles. FRC timing 66~70F. Projectile guranteed to activate after 10F. Giant fan will activate on 53F if the 11th hit hits (not blocked).

30, 14×13 High/Air 18+0 10 20 after landing -11 4~20F Strike 5, 3×13

A super version of Kai.

  • Because of it going into the air, it can allow you to get out of the corner.
  • It's unreactable after the super flash, meaning the opponent would already have to be blocking or invincible before it starts, but it takes a while for the flash to start.
  • Can do some ambiguous cross ups but the steep meter cost makes it not worthwhile.
  • Has some invincibility, but other moves are more useful for that.

Additional Frame Data: Opponent cannot input anything from after super flash until the 3rd active frame. Listed Frame Adv is for standing block (tested on Sol). For the follow up strikes after the knockdown (1st hit), if the opponent was ground bounced, the spin will hit them in the air, else they'll take the hits on the ground.

Unburstable super after autoguard.

  • Guaranteed to connect after the first hit.
  • Can FRC before the last hit to get some extra damage, though if it's not going to kill, taking the knockdown would be better in most cases.
  • Can be special cancelled into if attack with autoguard connects provided autoguard itself was triggered.

Additional Frame Data: 1st-3rd hits stagger opponent on hit (max 65F). Opponent's inputs are frozen until the 2nd active frame of the 1st hit. Anji is in CH state during move. Dizzy modifier x1.5. FRC timing 63~65F.
