* '''Tensionless | * '''Tensionless Guard Cancels''': Baiken's guard cancels allow her to act during Blockstun, forcing opponents to play cautiously even while on the offensive. Many matchups may require opponents to end pressure early or go for safer but less rewarding options, which allows Baiken to remain a threat even while on the back foot. | ||
* '''Exceptional | * '''Exceptional Damage''': With meter, Baiken can convert into extremely powerful and lengthy combos. These combos also have tend to have great corner carry. | ||

* '''Tiny | * '''Tiny Hurtbox''': Being short makes it difficult for many characters to land IOHs, fuzzies, or air to ground conversions against her. | ||
* '''Strong | * '''Strong Mixup Tools''': {{MMC|input=j.623S|label=Youzansen}} instant overhead, throw conversions, a safe {{clr|5|5D}}, and the ability to reversal out of blocking with her guard cancels give Baiken lots of mixup options. | ||

* '''Limited Meterless Conversions''': Many of Baiken's normals have limited gatlings and depend on close proximity, counterhits, or crouch confirms to convert into combos.

Revision as of 19:38, 25 June 2022
Baiken is set apart from the cast due to her guard cancels, which allow her to attack during blockstun without tension. This enables her to break out of pressure and limit the opponent's options, forcing them to play a completely different game against her.
These guard cancels can be performed during hitstop/blockstop, the period of time where characters are frozen as moves make contact to emphasize the hit effects. This means that she can punish moves which are normally safe since the GC's startup occurs during the window where the opponent's move is frozen, plus the remaining active window, plus the move's recovery frames. Each guard cancel allows her to get out of a variety of pressure situations.
Additionally Baiken comes with an excellent set of normals, some very strong conversions and damage, and has a toolkit for nearly every situation. On the flip side, her conversions are quite awkward and some of her best buttons also have very limited cancel routes. Baiken also takes much higher damage than average and can get dizzied pretty quickly, so Baiken players need to play sharp or risk losing fairly quickly. However, that shouldn't matter if she is played sharply, as her tools provide her plenty of opportunities to shut down anything the other player wants to do.
If you love to play careful turtle-characters with strong offensive responses against the right reads, consider picking Baiken up for a try.
Baiken Baiken fights in the mid-range, and bulldogs through the opponent's offense with her free guard-cancel attacks.
- Tensionless Guard Cancels: Baiken's guard cancels allow her to act during Blockstun, forcing opponents to play cautiously even while on the offensive. Many matchups may require opponents to end pressure early or go for safer but less rewarding options, which allows Baiken to remain a threat even while on the back foot.
- Exceptional Damage: With meter, Baiken can convert into extremely powerful and lengthy combos. These combos also have tend to have great corner carry.
- Powerful Hitboxes: Notably 2K, S normals, 5H, j.H, j.D, and TatamiGuardAllStartup15Recovery9Advantage-6 are very disjointed can be very difficult to contest.
- Tiny Hurtbox: Being short makes it difficult for many characters to land IOHs, fuzzies, or air to ground conversions against her.
- Strong Mixup Tools: YouzansenGuardHigh/AirStartup6Recovery15+11 after landingAdvantage-25 instant overhead, throw conversions, a safe 5D, and the ability to reversal out of blocking with her guard cancels give Baiken lots of mixup options.
- Can Seal Options and Setup: Thanks to BakuGuardMidStartup11Recovery20Advantage-3, 50 meter scores Baiken the ability to lock the opponent's buttons, and then seal their movement, set up an unblockable, or do full counter hit combos.
- Limited Meterless Conversions: Many of Baiken's normals have limited gatlings and depend on close proximity, counterhits, or crouch confirms to convert into combos. Baiken will often want to spend meter on FRC to access her high damage, or depend on difficult techniques such as Kire Tatami.
- Unforgiving Execution Barrier: Baiken's best combos require judicious use of techniques like Kire tatami, IADs, Suzuran cancels, and plenty of FRCs. Paired with her very low health and stun resistance, making mistakes as Baiken can be especially unforgiving.
Normal Moves
5P
5P is a good point-blank poke, and probably Baiken's best tick-throw poke.
- It cancels into 2K and can jump cancelled – this allows you to mixup with a low (2K) or high (Youzansen).
Gatling Options: 5P, 2P, 6P, 5K, 2K, 6K, c.S, f.S, 2S, 6H, 5D
5K
This move is only really used to hit people low in the air, especially when you aren't sure about which side they're on.
Gatling Options: 6P, c.S, f.S, 2S, 5D
c.S
- Used often in combos as it chains to f.S, 2D, 5H, and can be jump cancelled.
- This allows a 2D/Youzansen mix-up from a close blocked hit, and allows Baiken to combo from almost any c.S that hits.
- On many standing characters, you can combo c.S to a j.D immediately after jumping. This can lead to a nice knockdown or bigger damage with an FRC.
Gatling Options: 6P, f.S, 2S, 5H, 5D, 2D
f.S
Incredible normal. Has strong range and a great hitbox.
- Strong poke due to the above, and as it can also be jump cancelled.
- Only combos to tatami on counter-hit or crouching hit. Can be gatling'd between 2S as well, for extended confirmation time.
- Generally deferred to 2D for combo uses.
- Similarly to c.S, f.S also combos to a low j.D on many standing hit boxes, which is key for extended range knockdowns/confirms.
Gatling Options: 2S, 5D
5H
One of Baiken's higher damage moves due to its low GB- value.
- Though 5H is not as good as 6H, it is a faster alternative.
- Combos into Tatami on the ground and against a low airborne opponent.
- From a 5H counter-hit, Baiken can continue the combo with Kabari (chain) from quite far.
- Beware using 5H from neutral, because the move only actively hits for one frame and has a large recovery.
5D
5D with enough range that it can be difficult to punish
- Leads to full conversions, though needs an Impossible Dust for knockdown.
6P
Not a terribly strong anti-air for a 6P, so be careful using it this way against some characters.
- Combos to Youzansen/6K/623P on the ground.
- Can be used as an option select throw to catch backdashes.
Gatling Options: 6K, 5D
Additional Frame Data: 2nd hit untechable for 20F. Initial prorate 90% (both hits).
6K
- Almost always used to option select grab on the ground: 6K+HS, due to Baiken's extremely poor grab range.
- Very good meaty as it is +2 normally and can be as much as +10 if meatied perfectly. Take care in meatying this move because it loses grab invincibility during active frames.
- Hitbox can be strong against low attacks when spaced well.
Gatling Options: 5H, 2H
Additional Frame Data: Staggers opponent on ground CH (max 43F).
6H
Baiken's highest damage normal, this move also has a very low GB-, making it great for combos.
- Special AND jump cancelable (unlike 5H).
- It is very slow startup, however, and can be a challenge to place. Usually used to pick up opponent during slide or wall bounce.
- Gatlings from 5P if you wish to fish for a Counter Hit after conditioning with high/low/throw from 5P.
Gatling Options: 2D
2P
Not very useful, doesn't count as a low.
- Suprisingly, sometimes works as an anti air.
Gatling Options: 5P, 2P, 6P, 5K, 2K, 6K, c.S, f.S, 2S, 5D
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 80%.
2K
Baiken's fastest low attack.
- Disjointed hitbox. Low commital poke.
Gatling Options: 6P, 6K, c.S, f.S, 2S, 5D
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 80%.
2S
- Very good hitbox.
- Can only combo into Tatami on CH or on crouching opponents.
Gatling Options: f.S, 5D
2H
Very good for establishing pressure due to its frame advantage.
- Can only be chained into from 6K.
- Causes enough stagger on hit to convert if the opponent doesn't shake out quickly.
- Recovery is low enough that even being SB'd doesn't lead to a punish for a lot of characters unless performed point blank.
- Can be used to force the opponent to cross over during untech time
Additional Frame Data: Staggers opponent on hit (max 24F). 1st and 2nd hits pull in opponent on hit or block. Hitstop 6F. Pulls in opponent in air. Untechable for 26F
2D
Amazing normal which reaches far both horizontally and vertically, hits low, can be jump canceled into combo conversion or Yozansen for a mixup tool, and is generally great in any situation. Hardly unsafe on block since it cancels into Tatami.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 80%.
j.P
Extremely fast air poke.
- Very poor GB-, use sparingly in combos.
Gatling Options: j.P, j.K, j.S, j.H, j.D
j.K
Baiken's only jump cancelable air normal, but with an overly generous 25F of hitstun, allowing her to jump cancel and still combo into a j.H > Tatami. Even launches on hit against a grounded opponent. Staple for combos.
Gatling Options: j.P, j.S, j.D
Additional Frame Data: Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 25F).
j.S
Very generous hitbox, great for zoning in the air.
Gatling Options: j.P, j.H, j.D
j.H
- Favorable GB-, using this move as much as possible in combos is key.
- Can also be good to use as a meaty.
- Active for as many frames as it takes for Baiken to reach the ground
Additional Frame Data: Untechable for 20F.
j.D
Commonly used for corner damage and loops with FRC.
- Scores ranged knockdowns on standing hit immediately out of f.S.
- Works in conjunction with j.S for a fuzzy, especially since it can be heavily delayed.
- Can be FDC'ed to flutter in the air, which is useful for baiting anti airs. (Messing up the input can cost you your burst, so be careful!)
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 90%. Blows back opponent on hit (untechable for 35F). FRC timing 9~11F.
Universal Mechanics
Ground Throw
Poorly ranged throw that leads to corner damage and knockdown.
- Second worst grab range in in the game (tied with Millia, second worst to Chipp).
Additional Frame Data: Untechable for 60F, ground slides for 46F. Forced prorate 50%.
Air Throw
Only leads to combo in the corner. Puts the opponent opposite the direction you threw them.
Additional Frame Data: Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 60F). Forced prorate 50%.
Dead Angle Attack
Yes, Baiken has a Dead Angle.
- Despite the prorate, jump cancel-ability keeps it safe on block and converts into minute damage or knockdown.
- Not as good as Baku so you'll almost never use it, but it's there.
Additional Frame Data: Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 28F). Max 1 hit. Jump cancelable from 2nd hit onwards. Initial prorate 50%.
Special Moves
Tatami Gaeshi
236K (Air OK)
Staple move which is just as important as Baiken's guard cancels. These control space, end blockstrings from a distance, and start combos in the corner or with an FRC. Despite being -6, it's generally very difficult to punish this move unless IB'd/SB'd due to how far the opponent gets pushed away. Depending on the spacing when you use it, this move won't make contact immediately, but players who attempt to jump or IAD over it will have difficulty due to how high the initial hitbox reaches.
Additional Frame Data: Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 32F, on CH for 100F). On ground hit launches only if it hits during 1~6F of Active Frames. FRC timing 23~26F. Tatami disappears immediately if Baiken is hit.
The air version has some slight variation in use compared to the ground version in neutral, but still the same in combos. Tatami will drop straight down when done in the air, lacking the ground version's blowback, but still serving to cover a large portion of the screen and prevent opponents from rushing in.
In combos, it will still wallbounce if combo'd into properly, and with the FRC, it tends to lead to some of Baiken's most damaging combo strings.
Additional Frame Data: Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 36F). On ground hit launches only if it hits during 1~6F of Active Frames. Hitstop 6F if it hits during 1~6F of Active Frames. FRC timing 18~19F. Tatami disappears immediately when Baiken is hit.
Youzansen
j.623S
Frighteningly fast overhead when Tiger Knee'd, leading to Baiken's extensive corner damage and knockdown when RC'd. The ability to go into this out of any jump cancellable normal, particularly her 2D, gives you an extremely powerful mixup tool whenever the opponent is in blockstun.
- Done higher in the air, it can be used to delay her fall and bait the opponent into attempting a punish. It has landing recovery frames when you do eventually come down from stalling in the air, but these can be cleared by double jumping after a Youzansen if you still have it available.
- Has an extremely early and difficult FRC point which comes before the moves goes active, but will slow and change the direction of Baiken's aerial momentum, and has its uses in corner combos.
- Extremely unsafe on block, and when TK'd, will leave you wide open if it is blocked. However, you generally won't be getting any reward off of this without meter anyway, so you'll likely be saving this for when you can convert.
Additional Frame Data: Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 28F). Baiken is in CH state during move. Baiken is in crouching state during landing recovery. FRC timing 3~4F. Fastest possible TK Youzansen has startup 9F.
Youshijin
623P
Formerly her P Guard Cancel, Youshijin's main purpose is to launch on grounded hit after a hit confirmation, leading to combos pretty easily. It can serve as an early anti air since its hitbox extends very high, but using it on reaction will get you counter hit. Save it for when you've already established a hit up close.
Additional Frame Data: Hitstop 6F. Initial prorate 70%. Floats opponent on hit (untechable on ground hit for 48F, on air hit for 36F). Attack is fully extended on 15F.
Zakuro
While Guarding: 412P
Despite being a guard cancel, this is your main combo ender after corner combos, as Baiken will usually cross herself up in the corner, use the extensive hitstun of 6P > Suzuran > Zakuro to score the knockdown, and cross them back up with another jumping Tatami.
It's also Baiken's main answer to large hitbox jump ins like Johnny, Justice, or Baiken's j.H. Against airdash buttons or opponents performing a very deep jump-in, this will mostly likely whiff, leaving Baiken wide open. Zakuro is best suited to obviously high jump-ins and combos.
Additional Frame Data: 1st hit has initial prorate 75%. 2nd hit has forced prorate 75%. Baiken is in CH state 1~11F. FRC timing 12~13F.
Mawarikomi
While Guarding: 412K
Excellent Guard Cancel which crosses up the opponent if performed close enough. Best used against moves with a lot of recovery, allowing Baiken to step in and throw or punish if given enough time. This is her only meterless GC with startup invincibility, meaning that it can be very useful, but you'll need to exercsise judgment since it doesn't actually have a hitbox.
Additional Frame Data: Can pass through opponent during move. FRC timing 21~23F.
Sakura
While Guarding: 412S
One of Baiken's most rewarding GCs, despite lacking invincibility.
- Hits straight in front of her. Best between slow, beefy hits.
- Relatively fast, staggers on hit.
- Leads to damage with the FRC, extended stagger on CH.
- A good option when the opportunity is recognized, just don't get it baited, though.
Additional Frame Data: Staggers opponent on ground hit (max 50F). Wallstick opponent on air hit (untechable for 40F, sticks for 20F). FRC timing 10~11F.
Ouren
While Guarding: 412H
A far reaching somersault which catches opponents going for far reaching attacks with high recovery, or trying to cancel into something else on reaction. The only meterless guard cancel with invincibility before and during its active window.
- Will cross up the opponent depending on the distance, netting an overall good reward.
- Launches high and very untechable on CH, will net a huge reward.
- Launches forward fast on FRC, can be used as a risky approach or escape tool.
Additional Frame Data: Floats opponent high on CH (untechable for 70F). Initial prorate 70%. FRC timing 4~6F.
Suzuran
63214K
Command dash with upper body autoguard for most of its duration, can be cancelled into GCs without having to block anything.
- Lets Baiken access GC tools in neutral.
- Vulnerable to lows and throws, autoguard ends 5 frames before the move finishes.
- Blockstop allows opponents to react and cancel hits into a low, jump, or RC to block anything that you wish to follow with.
- Suzuran > Throw attempts can be easily jumped out of.
Additional Frame Data: Can cancel into Mawarikomi, Sakura, Ouren, Zakuro or FB Baku after guarding an attack. Can cancel into Mawarikomi, Sakura, Ouren, Zakuro or FB Baku 9~24F.
Kabari
41236H
Grappling chain which pulls the opponent in on contact. Good if the opponent is already staggered, sliding, or for ending blockstrings ocassionally as it will catch opponents who are unprepared. Do note however that its speed will leave an opening, and those aware can low profile and punish it. Can work as a janky, predictive anti-air since Baiken's hurtbox lowers a bit.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 80%. Staggers opponent on ground hit (max 33F). The chain stops when it hits; Recovery begins 3F after the move hits. Pulls opponent in on hit or block. Can cancel into Tetsuzansen from 32~38F when whiffed, or from 3~8F after hit or block. Fully extended on 28F. Slides opponent and pulls in on air hit (untechable for 36F, slides for 27F).
Tetsuzansen
Kabari -> S
Powerful followup to Kabari, best for people trying to jump-in at you if Kabari whiffs. Has a decent chunk of startup invul, leads to combos on ocassion, and generally a good option for those who are trying to get around the chain. Be cautious as it's very unsafe if baited.
Additional Frame Data: Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 32F). 1st hit has forced prorate 90%, 2nd hit 80%. FRC timing 12~13F. Listed Frame Adv is when 2nd hit misses.
Force Breaks
Baku
While Guarding: 412D
Your absolute best tool for getting out of pressure. Except for the first frame, it's invincible until startup. Huge hitbox. Leads to an overwhelming number of options on hit, including simple combo conversion, followups, etc. Extremely difficult to punish unless IB'd/SB'd.
Additional Frame Data: Hitstun 27F. Opponent's Burst is disabled on hit. Baiken is in CH state during move. Can cancel into followup attacks from 12F onwards.
Baku: XXX
Baku -> P or K or S
Followup move to Baku which applies some kind of effect to the opponent based on which button you press. All effects disappear after a set amount of time.
P Version - Sakura: Opponent loses the ability to dash, backdash, and jump. Opponent flashes dark blue. Forced prorate 50%.
K Version - Tsuki: All hits are CH while opponent is flashing. Opponent flashes yellow. Forced prorate 30%. A forced prorate of 75% is applied by the first hit of all combos while the opponent is flashing.
S Version - Tsuru: Opponent loses the ability to block the next hit. Effect disappears if Baiken is hit. Forced prorate 30%. A forced prorate of 50% is applied by the first hit of a combo while the opponent is flashing.
Additional Frame Data: Opponent's Burst is disabled on hit. Can cancel into followup attacks 25~36F.
Baku Followups
Baku:XXX -> P or K or S or H or D
The second follow-up to Baku. Whichever follow-up is used, the opponent is locked out of using the corresponding button for the duration of the applied curse, i.e. using the P follow-up prevents the opponent from using the P button.
- The S follow up will cross up.
- The D follow up is useful as it locks the opponent out of their Burst.
- The H follow up can also be used to prevent the opponent from using standard throws and from teching throws, which is quite effective when applied with the "no jump/dash/backdash" debuff. The opponent will then be prevented from using reversal backdash and reversal throw, and will also be unable to jump out of throw setups or tech throws, massively crippling their defense.
Triple Tatami Gaeshi
236D
Tool for hitting opponents from far away or simply building some damage with a bit of meter when close. Has some slightly different utility from regular Tatami, but good nonetheless.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 90%. Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 32F, on CH for 100F). Baiken is in CH state 1~22F. 1st and 2nd hit have hitstop 0F. FRC timing 20~22F. Frame Adv. is when the 3rd Tatami is blocked. 1st Tatami has 6 active frames. Tatamis disappears if Baiken is hit.
Overdrives
Tsurane Sanzu Watashi
236236S
Strong reversal and damage tool. Easily confirmed into out of something like 5H or 2D. Very difficult to punish unless SB'd. A pretty good super overall.
Additional Frame Data: Untechable for 40F. 1st hit dizzy modifier x0, 2nd = x0.5, 3rd = x1.0.
Instant Kill
Garyou Tensei
During IK Mode: 236236H
Actually not too bad of an IK, active during the entire run, covering a great bit of the stage.
Additional Frame Data: IK Mode preparation time 84F. Active frames are cut short and enters recovery on block. Recovery on whiff is 6F.
