|content=The resident geezer with a cleaver, Kliff is a slow but devastating midrange powerhouse. Though he's sluggish, stubby, and has many extended hurtboxes, Kliff is infamous for his ability to confidently ToD most of the cast if he has the meter for it. Due to his long sword normals, he tends to work pretty well at any range closer than half a screen away. He can confirm into his combos incredibly easily, knock down without any trouble, and do OTG pickups in corner carry combos without meter. He has three good lows, multiple instant overheads ([[GGACR/Kliff_Undersn/Strategy#jH_IOH|'''including one that works meterlessly''']]), and one of the hardest standing Dusts to see coming in the game. His {{clr|1|6P}}, Charged {{clr|4|2H}}, {{MMC|input=214P > D|label=FB Hellish Charge}}, and {{clr|4|6H}} can all do enough dizzy damage to get an opponent seeing birds within a matter of seconds. All in all, Kliff is an offensive monster once he gets close, and his wide range of tricky and high-reward options means he can steal rounds with naught but single confirm.  


On the flip side, Kliff is pretty much always seconds away from death. He's the most extreme risk/reward character in the game, and some of his stronger tools come with brutal downsides. As just one example, using {{clr|5|5D}} puts Kliff closer to being stunned, and the higher this value, the higher the chance that {{MMC|input=214P|label=2-Steps Forward}} will fail and leave Kliff extremely vulnerable. His neutral is also quite tough, as while he sword normals allow him to poke from far ranges, they also extend out his hurtboxes extremely far. A lack of solid mobility and poor defensive options means that Kliff often has to take big risks to take his turns back.

Kliff on offense is very strong, but must play smart when on the defensive, as his most potent tools could end up backfiring and costing him the game. If you're looking for a character with a simple yet effective gameplan, massive damage potential, and the ability to quickly flip a match in their favor, Kliff might be what you're looking for.

|pros=
|pros=
* '''Obscene Damage With Meter''': Point for point, Kliff is the hardest hitting character in the game. His basic BnB combos deal upwards of 250 damage by themselves, ''and'' give him Oki. Kliff often needs one or two interactions in the corner to instantly end the game, and if he has a full bar to work with and  a big starter hits, he's easily capable of performing a ToD.
*'''Extremely Rewarding Offense:''' Kliff's general damage output is the highest in the game, and scales with meter excellently. Specialized routes or meterdumps are capable of ripping massive chunks of life away, and almost every combo Kliff does can end in solid Okizeme with {{MMC|input=236P|label=P Bellowing Roar}} or his Taunt.
* '''Deceptively Long Range''': Kliff's sword normals have incredibly long reaching hitboxes which can poke or even mix up from half a screen or further. Using these intelligently can allow Kliff to mount threat from far away.  
*'''Deceptively Long Range''': Kliff's sword normals have incredibly long reaching hitboxes which can poke or even mix up from half a screen or further away.  
* '''Great Corner Carry''': Kliff can put opponents in the corner very easily, even off of stray hits. His combos consistently provide him hard knockdown with generous plus frames, allowing him to mixup how he pleases.
*'''Excellent Air Control''': {{clr|1|6P}} and Scale Ripper are great reactionary anti-airs with good reward. {{clr|1|6P}} in particular leads into Kliff's BnB, while his air normals are great for contesting air space.
* '''Myriad of Mixup Tools''': {{keyword|F-Shiki}}, a fast {{keyword|IAD}}, and  {{MMC|input=j.41236S|label=Limb Severer}} (FRC) give Kliff some unusual overhead opportunities. His {{MMC|input=2D|label=sweep}} is incredibly fast for the range it offers and his {{MMC|input=5D|label=standing Dust}} has an ambiguous startup animation, so Kliff has tons of ways to mix you up no matter what you're prepared for.  
*'''Myriad Mixup Tools''': Several {{keyword|F-Shiki}} normals, a fast {{keyword|IAD}}, and  {{MMC|input=j.41236S|label=Limb Severer}} (FRC) give Kliff some unusual overhead opportunities. His {{MMC|input=2D|label=sweep}} is incredibly fast for the range it offers and his {{MMC|input=5D|label=standing Dust}} has an ambiguous startup animation, so Kliff has tons of ways to mix you up no matter what you're prepared for.  
* '''Straightforward Okizeme Plan''': {{MMC|input=236P|label=P Bellowing Roar}} is active for nearly half a second and is always plus, giving Kliff laughably easy oki setup.
*'''Unconventional Defense''': Kliff is small, has a floaty jump, and can use 2-Steps Forward to temporarily become strike-invulnerable. He can use these traits to avoid setups or maneuver his way out of bad situations if given the opportunity.  
*  '''Small, Floaty Target''': Low profile forward dashes, tiny hurtbox at neutral and floaty jump movement can make it very easy for Kliff to avoid setups or offense.
*'''Momentum Reverse''': Kliff's Gold Burst reward on hit can completely flip the round or even the entire match. A Gold Burst counterhit in the corner can allow him to route into his Instant Kill, and even failing that a fully-stocked Kliff can absolutely obliterate his opponent.  
*  '''Stun Output''': Can have the opponent dizzy off of a single good read or setup, ready to kill them from full health.
*  '''Powerful Pressure Exit Tool''': 2-Steps Forward is a dodge that is strike invulnerable until the move ends, giving Kliff easy access to an escape option out of gaps in pressure. As an added benefit, its motion allows it to be performed while blocking safely.
* '''Momentum Reverse''': Kliff's Gold Burst reward on hit can completely flip the round or even the entire match. On Counter Hit in the corner, his opponent is almost certainly dead, and even in other circumstances Kliff's metered conversion potential with a full bar is extremely scary and can be nearly as decisive.

* '''Limited Mobility''': One of the slowest set of dashes in the game, has trouble traversing quickly and escaping the corner. Kliff must either wavedash, dashjump, {{MMC|input=214S|label=Skull Crusher}} or {{MMC|input=214K|label=Nape Saddle}} to cover ground, all of which carry risks.

===Unique Mechanics===
====Self Stun====
{{card|width=4
|header=Self Stun
|content= Many of Kliff's moves raise his stun level or are affected by it.


Kliff is capable of stunning opponents within a single combo with his high damage and moves with very high base damage and high dizzy modifiers (Such as {{clr|1|6P}} and {{clr|4|6H}}). Several moves have varying interactions with his and the opponent's stun level, so that using these moves involved becomes a large consideration of risk vs reward.

*{{MMC|input=214P|label=2-Steps Forward}} is a dodge that is strike invincible for its ''entire duration''. However, each use increases Kliff's stun level, which increases the chance that the next use of this move will cause Kliff to throw out his back, leaving him free for the opponent to punish.

*{{MMC|input=214P > D|label=FB Hellish Charge}} has an offensive dizzy modifier of '''x119''', but it is extremely slow, can only be combo'd into in very specific situations, and has a horrible recovery time. It is also not guaranteed to stun the opponent in a combo based on the opponent's stun resistance, and may not work if the opponent was recently stunned already.
*{{MMC|input=214P > D|label=FB Hellish Charge}} has an offensive dizzy modifier of '''x50''' but it can only be combo'd into in specific situations. It is also not guaranteed to stun the opponent in a combo based on the opponent's stun resistance, and may not work if the opponent was recently stunned already.
All of these moves can contribute to Kliff's style of Russian Roulette. Though he can be difficult to manage defensively, Kliff is capable of dizzying and subsequently KO'ing opponents with no prior interaction, making matches very volatile and cementing Kliff's role as ''the'' glass cannon.

The slap chop. Kliff's {{clr|1|5P}} is a far reaching quick jab that fills an extremely critical role in Kliff's toolset.
{{clr|1|5P}} is commonly used for pressure situations. Due to its speed, reach, and large gatling table, it's often the beginning of Kliff's pressure sequences when he has any amount of frame advantage. Since it can be jump cancelled, combining it with Kliff's {{keyword|IAD}} is a common tactic, and with its safety on block it can also be used to end pressure sequences safely. It can also anti-air, but be warned: it extends Kliff's hurtbox upwards along his arm for the startup briefly.


==Normals==
Additionally, it boasts a huge amount of active frames, allowing it to counter-poke many moves that extend hurtboxes forward before they're active, such as {{CLabel|GGACR|Millia}}'s {{MMC|chara=Millia Rage|input=2D|label={{Clr|D|2D}}}}.

Despite appearances, Kliff's {{clr|2|5K}} is one of his most potent normals, and a key cornerstone in his combo theory. Correct usage of this creates a myriad of dangerous situations for Kliff's opponent.
==== ====
Short ranged launcher. Infrequent in neutral, but a useful tool for launching characters mid combo. Most importantly, this move can combo into partially charged {{clr|1|6[P]}} enabling Kliff to convert somewhat standard hits into his unreasonably high damage {{clr|4|6[H]}} routes.


*Can low crush and occasionally anti-air, but is sadly not throw immune. Use it to go over Slidehead.
Its most obvious use is in combos. Due to its huge amount of untechable time, {{clr|2|5K}} can allow Kliff to combo straight into {{clr|1|6{P}<!---->}}, enabling some of Kliff's best damage output. It also creates extensions into {{clr|4|j.H|}} which has a plethora of uses.  
*Mainly used to combo to {{clr|1|6{P} }} > {{clr|3|236S}} FRC > Fully Charged {{clr|4|6[H]}} for massive damage. This confirm as a general rule works on much of the cast midscreen but drops on most of the cast in the corner. This along with having other character specific variations and rules means that it's probably worth taking the time to test it out before attempting it on a new character if you are unsure.
*Useful spots to use 5k in combos include dashing up and juggling with it after a low {{clr|4|j.H}}, after an impossible dust in the corner, and picking characters back up after a ground slide from FRC {{clr|3|236S}} (On some characters this can even lead to the {{clr|1|6{P} }} > {{clr|3|236S}} route)
*Can be used at the end of longer routes to pop them in the air to enable {{clr|3|c.S}} > Taunt oki. Take note that later the {{clr|3|c.S}} gatling is delayed, the meatier the taunt will be.
*Against characters with wider sliding hurtboxes, can be linked meterlessly after {{clr|3|236S}} in the corner if you are close enough.
[[{{PAGENAME}}/Frame_Data#Gatling_Table|Gatling Options]]: {{clr|1|6P}}, {{clr|3|c.S}}, {{clr|3|f.S}}, {{clr|3|2S}}, {{clr|4|5H}}, {{clr|4|2H}}, {{clr|5|5D}}, {{clr|5|2D}}


'''Additional Frame Data:''' ''Initial prorate 90%. Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 24F).''
Much like {{clr|1|5P|}}, the jump cancel allows it to be used in pressure as well since it boasts an amazing gatling table. Where it really shines with this aspect is its properties on counter hit, where it becomes COMPLETELY untechable for its entire launch. This grants Kliff conversions from virtually anywhere, made even more ridiculous by {{clr|2|5K|}}'s tendency to trade with many normals. Even on trade, Kliff is almost always guaranteed a {{clr|3|2S|}}, which can lead to major damage in the corner.
</div>
 
</div>
Due to Kliff's hurtbox during this move, it also evades {{MMC|chara=Potemkin|input=236S|label=Slidehead}}.
 
Note: Combos into {{clr|1|6{P}<!---->}} are generally universal outside of the corner, but become weight and hurtbox specific when in the corner. Make sure you don't route into this mistakenly!

{{clr|3|c.S}} serves as another very important combo staple for Kliff, and also as a common throw OS normal and frame trap tool.
==== ====
 
Good midrange combo starter and combo ender. Knocks down on air hit, mainly for combo enders, OTG 2S extensions, or a clutch anti-air.
On air hit, this move slams opponents downward. This serves as a great way to stabilize air hits and allow for further conversions into {{clr|3|2S}}, or to set up {{keyword|okizeme}} via taunt. Additionally, this normal is fairly good at anti-airing, though a little flakier at particular distances/heights. It functions great against most IAD buttons, and it's excellent for catching people trying to jump out of pressure or tick throw attempts.
*Usually used post {{clr|1|5P}}/{{clr|2|5K}} at the end of combos to set up taunt oki.
 
**From air confirms, goes straight into OTG {{clr|3|2S}} > {{clr|3|236S}}.
Against grounded opponents, {{clr|3|c.S}} commonly works as a great frame trap tool due to its speed relative to its attack level. This pairs well with its very wide cancel window for both specials and gatlings, and the ability to jump cancel it. Great frame trap normals after a blocked {{clr|3|c.S}} include {{clr|4|5H}}, {{clr|4|2H}}, and {{clr|5|2D}}. If it counter hits, Kliff can even combo into IAD {{clr|2|j.K}} against standing opponents!
*Forms a trifecta of IAD'able normals with {{clr|1|5P}} and {{clr|2|5K}}.  
*Combos to IAD {{clr|2|j.K}} on Counter Hit, and IAD {{clr|3|j.S}} on crouching Counter Hit.

{{clr|3|f.S}} serves as a pivotal poke for maintaining ground control, and a tool in corner pressure.
<gallery widths="210px" heights="210px" mode="nolines">
 
GGXXACPR_Kliff_fS-Hitbox.png
{{clr|3|f.S}} boasts some of the best range Kliff has to offer, allowing for confirms into {{clr|4|2H}} at any range, and {{clr|3|214S}} at many ranges. With meter, said {{clr|4|2H}} turns into a full conversion with {{MMC|input=236236H|type=Super|label=Reflex Roar}}. If you're sharp, you can even confirm straight from {{clr|3|f.S}} itself into Reflex Roar! This is particularly useful if you nab an air hit from afar.
</gallery>
 
</tabber>
In corner pressure, {{clr|3|f.S}} shines as a strong tool to keep people from freely jumping out. As its hitbox is fairly high reaching at the base of the blade, it's great at tagging people trying to escape too late. It's also only -4 on block on its own, leaving Kliff pretty safe if it's blocked from a distance.
</div>
 
<div class="attack-info">
A powerful aspect of {{clr|3|f.S}} that elevates it over Kliff's other pokes is the lack of extended hurtbox on recovery. Combined with its brief active frames, this allows Kliff to safely swing this normal into all sorts of invincible moves if timed correctly.

Kliff's main ranged ground poke and harassment tool. Great reach and easy confirmation to {{clr|4|2H}} or {{clr|3|214S}}.
*Very safe when blocked at range.
*Usually cancelled into either {{clr|4|2H}}, {{clr|5|2D}}, or {{clr|1|236P}} on block for pushback or frame advantage.
*Can confirm from midscreen launches that are too far away to convert into closer buttons.
**(e.g. from far {{clr|5|j.D}}, {{clr|1|6P}} against extended hurtboxes, etc.)
*Be careful, as a good portion of the blade becomes part of Kliff's hurtbox.

Kliff's {{clr|4|5H}} is his highest risk anti-air, but it yields the absolute best reward when used correctly. A tool that can decide entire rounds.
==== ====
 
Massive and high damage, but slow, multi purpose normal. Big damage, meterless combo starter and extension to {{clr|3|214S}} from close.
The most standout aspect is the coverage this button provides. It touches the ground in front of Kliff, and then rotates entirely around him. While its initial anti-air hitbox is serviceable, the back hitboxes on the later frames reach incredibly high, making this move particularly good at hitting opponents both above and behind Kliff. Utilizing Kliff's {{MMC|input=66|label=Step Dash}} to get underneath opponents allows for convenient usage of the back hitboxes.  
*Large coverage Anti-Air. Hits behind Kliff.
*Can be canceled into specials/gatlings during recovery frames.
*Vacuums on air hit for tech traps or {{clr|4|623H}}xN to tack on as much damage as possible.
*Staggers on ground CH, untechable float on CH. Leads to big stuff.
*Slow startup can be beneficial for frame traps after P and K normals.
*Can convert to big extensions after an air hit {{clr|3|236S}}.
[[{{PAGENAME}}/Frame_Data#Gatling_Table|Gatling Options]]: {{clr|5|5D}}, {{clr|5|2D}}


'''Additional Frame Data:''' ''Pulls in opponent on air hit. Staggers opponent on CH (max 37F).''
The rewards on air hit can be huge. It vacuums inward towards Kliff, and if it counter hits, it's completely untechable, allowing for a huge suite of combos and extensions afterwards depending on the height and positioning, on top of dealing a huge chunk of damage to both health and stun.
</div>
 
</div>
The other prime uses of {{clr|4|5H}} are for setting up tech traps or combos after {{clr|3|2S}}, and frame traps and combos against grounded opponents. Adding a {{clr|4|5H}} to a combo after a {{clr|2|2K}} starter against a grounded opponent adds a huge chunk of damage. Misuse of this normal can and will get you killed, as Kliff is in counter hit state for a substantial amount of time (all of the active frames and all of its startup), so be judicious.

An anti-air that strikes a balance between other useful anti-airs. Despite its relative slowness and lack of horizontal range, its hitbox and reward balance out its weaknesses.
{{AttackVersion|name=Partial Charge}}
 
{{#cargo_query:tables=MoveData_GGACR
{{clr|1|6P}} has a huge stun modifier, so counter hits can be lethal. Its allowance for gatlings is particularly useful, as you can simply input {{clr|3|c.S}} and react accordingly to if it's hit or it's blocked. This also turns Kliff around, so even if you anti-air someone behind you, you can convert pretty reliably.
|fields=damage,guard,startup,active,recovery,onBlock,invuln,level
 
|where=chara="{{SUBPAGENAME}}" and input="6P Lv2"
Worth noting that this move also functions as a powerful predictive counter-poke if you're willing to take the risk. When it's active, it blows through many moves, and if it counter hits a grounded opponent, the launch is completely untechable, granting pretty flexible conversions.

Huge stun anti-air. Slow, high recovery, and almost completely vertical, but great right above you.
*Very high stun damage, will probably dizzy in two counterhits.
*Combos into {{clr|3|c.S}} to knock down, which converts to {{clr|3|2S}}.
*Fully untechable knockdown on CH and leads to {{clr|3|236S}}, meaning you get '''huge''' damage with an FRC.
*''Combos to {{clr|3|236S}} meterlessly on ground hit against most midweights''. Leads to frame perfect {{clr|3|236S}} FRC {{clr|4|6[H]}} near the corner.
*Only gatlings if not charged.
[[{{PAGENAME}}/Frame_Data#Gatling_Table|Gatling Options]]: {{clr|3|c.S}}, {{clr|3|f.S}}, {{clr|3|2S}}, {{clr|4|5H}}, {{clr|4|2H}}, {{clr|5|5D}}, {{clr|5|2D}}
----
----
When partially charged, it gets fully untechable launch on hit, leading to guaranteed conversions. Will autocorrect if released properly. Kliff's real dizzy punish starter.
Partial charge turns this move into an absolute staple of Kliff's metered combo routing. This is generally the best post-stun punish starter as a result. While it lacks the gatling options of the uncharged version, it holds many advantages over it.
*Still upper body invul during the charge, can be useful to hold it to go under moves like Order Sol's Rock It.
 
*Most often used post dizzy to do stronger conversions from {{clr|3|236S}} FRC.
Unlike the uncharged version, this version has an untechable launch on normal hit, whether it's air or ground. As a result this enables a lot of combos, namely {{MMC|input=236S|label={{clr|3|236S}}}} FRC > {{clr|4|6[H]}}, whether on its own against lightweights or on air hit, or after {{clr|2|5K}} > {{clr|1|6{P}<!---->}} in applicable situations. You can even opt to not FRC the {{clr|3|236S}}, and simply link a dash normal afterwards, most commonly {{clr|2|5K}} or {{clr|2|2K}} in the case of corner combos.
*Loses the ability to gatling when charged, but can still special/super cancel.
*Occasionally still useful as an anti-air, but it has significantly more recovery than uncharged.
*Combos from {{clr|2|5K}} midscreen, leading to {{clr|3|236S}} FRC {{clr|4|6[H]}} confirms. Also works in the corner, but is far more character limited. (Check the combo section for more on this)


Most importantly, this move does a TON of stun. With a x4 modifier, it belts out more stun than a number of moves in the game. Combine this with the many ways for Kliff to route into this, and you have a key tool for building stun very fast, and a means to set up dangerous okizeme scenarios for relatively low meter investment.
As an additional note, Kliff retains upper body invincibility while charging. You can use this to go under certain moves, like {{MMC|chara=Order-Sol|input=236S Lv1|label=Rock-It}}
----
----
If it weren't for FB Chop, then max charged 6P would be the highest stun damage move in the game.
The highest stun modifier on a move Kliff has that isn't one of his Force Breaks. Beyond the damage increase and additional stun multiplier, this is functionally the same as the partial charged variant.
*4.5 dizzy modifier and 40 base damage means a pretty high dizzy chance.
 
*Otherwise functionally identical to partial charge {{clr|1|6{P}<!---->}}.
While there are means to combo into this, it's generally either not worth it or too situational. That being said, if you get a stun and you have time to fully charge this, no point in not doing it.

===<big>Step Dash</big>===
{{GGACR_Move_Card
|input=66
|description=
Kliff's replacement for a standard character's dash. An incredibly important tool for Kliff with unique properties that give it use cases in every matchup.
For starters, unlike the Step Dash that {{Character Label|GGACR|Johnny|label=Johnny}} has, Kliff's can be cancelled into attacks at any point. This allows Kliff to incorporate dash momentum into grounded combo starters and aids in his approach as well. Important to note, if Kliff's dash is cancelled into an attack before he begins to move forward, he will not gain momentum on the ground, so timing is key for certain corner combos!


'''Additional Frame Data:''' ''Forced prorate 50%. Blows back opponent on hit (untechable for 60 frames).''
Even more importantly, Kliff's dash has a large amount of {{Keyword|low profile}}, the exact same amount of it as {{Character Label|GGACR|Faust|label=Faust}} crawling! This allows Kliff to slip under many projectiles and attacks, and gives him a lot of ways to anti-air and sneak under his opponent's offense.
</div>
 
</div>
'''Advanced Usage''': Utilizing the low profile that Kliff's Step Dash provides combined with Slashback can allow Kliff to automatically time Slashbacks out of it! This is a powerful technique against moves like {{Character Label|GGACR|Baiken}}'s {{MMC|chara=Baiken|input=41236H|label=Kabari|hitboxMode=true}}, where Kliff can dash under the initial active frames just fine, but the late frames frequently hit him out of the recovery of his dash or the startup of another normal. By Slashbacking out of the dash instead, Kliff will stand up and it will automatically time itself. This can also be used against slow and/or large lingering projectiles, and against higher jump-ins.

Kliff's main air combo knockdown tool. Strong all around move, both as a combo starter and ender.
*Hits overhead, can cross up while cutting Kliff's horizontal momentum, and stalls in the air for occasional fakeouts.
*Leads to a safejump with fuzzy guard setups. Has four(?) different shockwave sizes, growing larger the higher Kliff is when he initiates the move.
*Leads to big damage, or guaranteed dizzy setups in the corner on hit with meter.
*Can be difficult to punish due to pushback.
*The second hit can cancel out other projectiles, keeping Kliff safe against things like Eddie's drills.
*FRC right before it goes active to fake out into a throw or low.
*Comes with the weakness of being out prioritized by {{clr|3|j.214S}} if you get crossed under, which is *horribly* unsafe on whiff. Always keep the opponent's position in mind.
*Can be punished by having the first hit air blocked and the second hit jumped over.

Overview

Overview

The resident geezer with a cleaver, Kliff is a slow but devastating midrange powerhouse. Though he's sluggish, stubby, and has many extended hurtboxes, Kliff is infamous for his ability to confidently ToD most of the cast if he has the meter for it. Due to his long sword normals, he tends to work pretty well at any range closer than half a screen away. He can confirm into his combos incredibly easily, knock down without any trouble, and do OTG pickups in corner carry combos without meter. He has three good lows, multiple instant overheads (including one that works meterlessly), and one of the hardest standing Dusts to see coming in the game. His 6P, Charged 2H, FB Hellish ChargeGGAC Kliff 214PP 1.pngGuardMidStartup22Recovery68Advantage-56, and 6H can all do enough dizzy damage to get an opponent seeing birds within a matter of seconds. All in all, Kliff is an offensive monster once he gets close, and his wide range of tricky and high-reward options means he can steal rounds with naught but single confirm.

On the flip side, Kliff is pretty much always seconds away from death. He's the most extreme risk/reward character in the game, and some of his stronger tools come with brutal downsides. As just one example, using 5D puts Kliff closer to being stunned, and the higher this value, the higher the chance that 2-Steps ForwardGGAC Kliff 214P.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 48Advantage- will fail and leave Kliff extremely vulnerable. His neutral is also quite tough, as while he sword normals allow him to poke from far ranges, they also extend out his hurtboxes extremely far. A lack of solid mobility and poor defensive options means that Kliff often has to take big risks to take his turns back.

Kliff on offense is very strong, but must play smart when on the defensive, as his most potent tools could end up backfiring and costing him the game. If you're looking for a character with a simple yet effective gameplan, massive damage potential, and the ability to quickly flip a match in their favor, Kliff might be what you're looking for.

 Kliff Undersn is the risk/reward king, a slow mid-range tank that can obliterate his opponents with one good hit, but also capable of completely throwing the round with one bad decision.

Pros
Cons
  • Extremely Rewarding Offense: Kliff's general damage output is the highest in the game, and scales with meter excellently. Specialized routes or meterdumps are capable of ripping massive chunks of life away, and almost every combo Kliff does can end in solid Okizeme with P Bellowing RoarGGAC Kliff 236P.pngGuardAllStartup16Recovery4Advantage+3 or his Taunt.
  • Deceptively Long Range: Kliff's sword normals have incredibly long reaching hitboxes which can poke or even mix up from half a screen or further away.
  • Excellent Air Control: 6P and Scale Ripper are great reactionary anti-airs with good reward. 6P in particular leads into Kliff's BnB, while his air normals are great for contesting air space.
  • Myriad Mixup Tools: Several 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. normals, a fast IAD An air dash performed from a standing position as quickly and as low to the ground as possible from a jump. Done by inputting 956 754, and depending on the game, using a dash macro right after a jump., and Limb SevererGGAC Kliff j41236S.pngGuardHigh/Air, AllStartup14Recovery26Advantage-6 (FRC) give Kliff some unusual overhead opportunities. His sweepGGAC Kliff 2D.pngGuardLowStartup7Recovery21Advantage-14 is incredibly fast for the range it offers and his standing DustGGAC Kliff 5D.pngGuardHighStartup27Recovery19Advantage-6 has an ambiguous startup animation, so Kliff has tons of ways to mix you up no matter what you're prepared for.
  • Unconventional Defense: Kliff is small, has a floaty jump, and can use 2-Steps Forward to temporarily become strike-invulnerable. He can use these traits to avoid setups or maneuver his way out of bad situations if given the opportunity.
  • Momentum Reverse: Kliff's Gold Burst reward on hit can completely flip the round or even the entire match. A Gold Burst counterhit in the corner can allow him to route into his Instant Kill, and even failing that a fully-stocked Kliff can absolutely obliterate his opponent.
  • Limited Mobility: One of the slowest set of dashes in the game, has trouble traversing quickly and escaping the corner. Kliff must either wavedash, dashjump, Skull CrusherGGAC Kliff 214S.pngGuardAllStartup10Recovery25Advantage-8 or Nape SaddleGGAC Kliff 214K.pngGuardHigh/AirStartup28Recovery4+8 after landingAdvantage-6 to cover ground, all of which carry risks.
  • Extended Hurtboxes: Many of Kliff's long range buttons greatly increase his hurtbox size, exposing him to potential counter poke opportunities.
  • Struggles Against Zoners: Despite his strong toolset, Kliff must work extremely hard to get in against characters with superior screen control. Zoners in particular give him a hard time, as he must take big risks to successfully close the gap.
  • Risky Defensive Options: No frame 1 invincible Dead Angle AttackGGAC Kliff 5K.pngGuardAllStartup12Recovery12Advantage-2 and two reversal options, both with random elements tied to them, force Kliff to either hold the pressure or bet on high-risk, high-reward options.
  • Gets Stunned Easily: Tied for the lowest dizzy resistance in the game, Kliff has to factor this in when using 2-Steps Forward or 5D, as they raise his own stun meter which can lead to disaster later on.

Unique Mechanics

Self Stun

Self Stun

Many of Kliff's moves raise his stun level or are affected by it.

Kliff is capable of stunning opponents within a single combo with his high damage and moves with very high base damage and high dizzy modifiers (Such as 6P and 6H). Several moves have varying interactions with his and the opponent's stun level, so that using these moves involved becomes a large consideration of risk vs reward.

  • 5D is a strong dust that is safe on block, but it raises Kliff's own stun level on each use.
  • 2-Steps ForwardGGAC Kliff 214P.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 48Advantage- is a dodge that is strike invincible for its entire duration. However, each use increases Kliff's stun level, which increases the chance that the next use of this move will cause Kliff to throw out his back, leaving him free for the opponent to punish.
  • FB Hellish ChargeGGAC Kliff 214PP 1.pngGuardMidStartup22Recovery68Advantage-56 has an offensive dizzy modifier of x50 but it can only be combo'd into in specific situations. It is also not guaranteed to stun the opponent in a combo based on the opponent's stun resistance, and may not work if the opponent was recently stunned already.
All of these moves can contribute to Kliff's style of Russian Roulette. Though he can be difficult to manage defensively, Kliff is capable of dizzying and subsequently KO'ing opponents with no prior interaction, making matches very volatile and cementing Kliff's role as the glass cannon.

The slap chop. Kliff's 5P is a far reaching quick jab that fills an extremely critical role in Kliff's toolset.

5P is commonly used for pressure situations. Due to its speed, reach, and large gatling table, it's often the beginning of Kliff's pressure sequences when he has any amount of frame advantage. Since it can be jump cancelled, combining it with Kliff's IAD An air dash performed from a standing position as quickly and as low to the ground as possible from a jump.

It can also anti-air, but be warned: it extends Kliff's hurtbox upwards along his arm for the startup briefly.

Additionally, it boasts a huge amount of active frames, allowing it to counter-poke many moves that extend hurtboxes forward before they're active, such as  Millia's 2DGGAC Millia 2D.pngGuardLowStartup13Recovery12Advantage-1.

Despite appearances, Kliff's 5K is one of his most potent normals, and a key cornerstone in his combo theory. Correct usage of this creates a myriad of dangerous situations for Kliff's opponent.

Its most obvious use is in combos. Due to its huge amount of untechable time, 5K can allow Kliff to combo straight into 6{P}, enabling some of Kliff's best damage output. It also creates extensions into j.H which has a plethora of uses.

Much like 5P, the jump cancel allows it to be used in pressure as well since it boasts an amazing gatling table. Where it really shines with this aspect is its properties on counter hit, where it becomes COMPLETELY untechable for its entire launch. This grants Kliff conversions from virtually anywhere, made even more ridiculous by 5K's tendency to trade with many normals. Even on trade, Kliff is almost always guaranteed a 2S, which can lead to major damage in the corner.

Due to Kliff's hurtbox during this move, it also evades SlideheadGGAC Potemkin 236S.pngGuardLow, UnblockableStartup23Recovery25Advantage-11.

Note: Combos into 6{P} are generally universal outside of the corner, but become weight and hurtbox specific when in the corner. Make sure you don't route into this mistakenly!

c.S serves as another very important combo staple for Kliff, and also as a common throw OS normal and frame trap tool.

On air hit, this move slams opponents downward. This serves as a great way to stabilize air hits and allow for further conversions into 2S, or to set up okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups. via taunt. Additionally, this normal is fairly good at anti-airing, though a little flakier at particular distances/heights. It functions great against most IAD buttons, and it's excellent for catching people trying to jump out of pressure or tick throw attempts.

Against grounded opponents, c.S commonly works as a great frame trap tool due to its speed relative to its attack level. This pairs well with its very wide cancel window for both specials and gatlings, and the ability to jump cancel it. Great frame trap normals after a blocked c.S include 5H, 2H, and 2D. If it counter hits, Kliff can even combo into IAD j.K against standing opponents!

f.S serves as a pivotal poke for maintaining ground control, and a tool in corner pressure.

f.S boasts some of the best range Kliff has to offer, allowing for confirms into 2H at any range, and 214S at many ranges. With meter, said 2H turns into a full conversion with Reflex RoarGGAC Kliff 236236S.pngGuardAllStartup7+1Recovery26Advantage-17. If you're sharp, you can even confirm straight from f.S itself into Reflex Roar! This is particularly useful if you nab an air hit from afar.

In corner pressure, f.S shines as a strong tool to keep people from freely jumping out. As its hitbox is fairly high reaching at the base of the blade, it's great at tagging people trying to escape too late. It's also only -4 on block on its own, leaving Kliff pretty safe if it's blocked from a distance.

A powerful aspect of f.S that elevates it over Kliff's other pokes is the lack of extended hurtbox on recovery. Combined with its brief active frames, this allows Kliff to safely swing this normal into all sorts of invincible moves if timed correctly.

Kliff's 5H is his highest risk anti-air, but it yields the absolute best reward when used correctly. A tool that can decide entire rounds.

The most standout aspect is the coverage this button provides. It touches the ground in front of Kliff, and then rotates entirely around him. While its initial anti-air hitbox is serviceable, the back hitboxes on the later frames reach incredibly high, making this move particularly good at hitting opponents both above and behind Kliff. Utilizing Kliff's Step DashGGXXACPR Kliff Dash.pngGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 34Advantage- to get underneath opponents allows for convenient usage of the back hitboxes.

The rewards on air hit can be huge. It vacuums inward towards Kliff, and if it counter hits, it's completely untechable, allowing for a huge suite of combos and extensions afterwards depending on the height and positioning, on top of dealing a huge chunk of damage to both health and stun.

The other prime uses of 5H are for setting up tech traps or combos after 2S, and frame traps and combos against grounded opponents. Adding a 5H to a combo after a 2K starter against a grounded opponent adds a huge chunk of damage. Misuse of this normal can and will get you killed, as Kliff is in counter hit state for a substantial amount of time (all of the active frames and all of its startup), so be judicious.

Ranged, safe on block 5D that confirms to knockdown and damage from anywhere. Roughly the first half of the startup reuses Kliff's crouching sprite, making this move borderline unreactable despite its actual frame data. A critical mixup tool against characters that are too short to get proper fuzzies against.

  • Airborne on frame 18, allowing Kliff to use it to bait wakeup throws.
  • Impossible dust leads to guaranteed stun against the majority of the cast in the corner if Kliff has 50 meter for FB chop routes.
  • The latter end of the active frames can be low profiled if too far away.
  • Increases Kliff's stun by 10 every use.

An anti-air that strikes a balance between other useful anti-airs. Despite its relative slowness and lack of horizontal range, its hitbox and reward balance out its weaknesses.

6P has a huge stun modifier, so counter hits can be lethal. Its allowance for gatlings is particularly useful, as you can simply input c.S and react accordingly to if it's hit or it's blocked. This also turns Kliff around, so even if you anti-air someone behind you, you can convert pretty reliably.

Worth noting that this move also functions as a powerful predictive counter-poke if you're willing to take the risk. When it's active, it blows through many moves, and if it counter hits a grounded opponent, the launch is completely untechable, granting pretty flexible conversions.

Gatling Options: c.S, f.S, 2S, 5H, 2H, 5D, 2D


Partial charge turns this move into an absolute staple of Kliff's metered combo routing. This is generally the best post-stun punish starter as a result. While it lacks the gatling options of the uncharged version, it holds many advantages over it.

Unlike the uncharged version, this version has an untechable launch on normal hit, whether it's air or ground. As a result this enables a lot of combos, namely 236SGGAC Kliff 236S.pngGuardAllStartup22Recovery48Advantage-32 FRC > 6[H], whether on its own against lightweights or on air hit, or after 5K > 6{P} in applicable situations. You can even opt to not FRC the 236S, and simply link a dash normal afterwards, most commonly 5K or 2K in the case of corner combos.

Most importantly, this move does a TON of stun. With a x4 modifier, it belts out more stun than a number of moves in the game. Combine this with the many ways for Kliff to route into this, and you have a key tool for building stun very fast, and a means to set up dangerous okizeme scenarios for relatively low meter investment.

As an additional note, Kliff retains upper body invincibility while charging. You can use this to go under certain moves, like Rock-ItGGAC OSol 236S.pngGuardMidStartup16Recovery10Advantage+3


The highest stun modifier on a move Kliff has that isn't one of his Force Breaks. Beyond the damage increase and additional stun multiplier, this is functionally the same as the partial charged variant.

While there are means to combo into this, it's generally either not worth it or too situational. That being said, if you get a stun and you have time to fully charge this, no point in not doing it.

Big, slow overhead that hits more often than it should. Head-splitting damage combo starter and occasional mixup normal. People will forget to air FD against this.

  • Staggers on hit, special cancellable for conversion or to make it safe with 236P.
  • Leads to extensive damage and will drastically raise their dizzy level even with its slight prorate.
  • Will sometimes come in clutch if you don't OS your throw with another normal.
  • Don't whiff this move.

Partial charge is a dizzy punish starter which offloads damage immediately as opposed to 6{P, but generally leads to less damage overall.

  • Same stagger as uncharged, but 20% more damage means more dizzy and greater output.
  • Even a basic 6{H} > 236S will deal a huge chunk.
  • Used post 236S, won't connect to anything else unless you use point blank 623H or Reflex Roar, or you're against Johnny. Best used here if it'll kill.

Max charge is 200 base damage. Will generally score 80-180 damage mid combo. Possible to get 1-3 per combo with meter. Touch of Death Time >:)

  • Almost fully untechable floor bounce on hit for (delayed) 214K or 236S followups.
  • Requires an air hit/floated 236S FRC that leads to the corner in order to combo into, but is always desirable if possible.
    • Most commonly done post-dizzy.
  • Too slow to be used as a combo starter out of a FB Chop against players who mash out, but might work if you score a dizzy off of a stray hit.
    • Post FB Chop, if you have 50% meter, you can FRC and do this immediately if it'll kill and they still have a burst.
  • (Generally) Don't use this in neutral.

  • Shifts Kliff's hurtbox and hitbox forward away from his collision box, letting him go *around* some moves.

Great, low-reaching normal used for hitting right below Kliff, safejumps, instant overheads, and fuzzy guards. The staple Kliff mixup tool.

  • Go-to normal out of airdashes and leads to some nasty mixup situations. It doesn't have much horizontal range, so it's mainly used when you've already conditioned or forced the opponent to block.
  • Sometimes used for air confirms, particularly to lead into j.41236S or j.236D confirms.
  • Leads to significant damage out of IADs (and IOHs with meter).

Decent air-to-air normal at range. Can hit deceptively deep. Combos into j.H for big conversions.

  • Works as a safejump (off j.41236S), fuzzy setup, and sometimes an IOH after j.D FDC right off the ground.
  • Big hurtbox extension. Avoid using it too closely if they're not already blocking.
  • Due to Kliff's slow fall speed, combined with this move's more subtle startup animation, you can hit after a somewhat deep j.K right before hitting the ground, and it becomes very ambiguous between it and 2K.

Large, slow attack which can launch and cross up, hitting mainly behind Kliff on startup. Extremely strong as an air to air and as an air to ground because of its large hitbox, and a vital part of many important confirms. Due to its massive bully potential but specific weaknesses and counterplay, this button is overall one of Kliff's most important air normals to understand both for the Kliff player and the opponent.

  • Launches during the latter half of its active frames. This is when the hitbox is generally between directly below Kliff or in front of him.
  • Big rewards on hit, and you almost always get some sort of confirm, but there are many different routes and they can change significantly based on how the move connects.
  • Extremely large extended hurtbox. This allows many characters to tag it with a relatively long range 6p at neutral so be careful when using this move against players that know how to work around it. Additionally, if you are concerned about getting whiff punished for missed airgrabs, make sure to OS your airthrow with j.P.
  • Will always have a gap when chained into on block that can be reversal'd through (e.g. j.S > j.H is not airtight.) This window can actually work in your favor as it may tag players who buffer inputs during blockstun.
  • Can also be used as an instant overhead, despite appearances. If executed perfectly, it hits at a blazing fast 13 frames, and sets up all sorts of damaging conversions with or without meter. See here for an overview of how it works.

Requires some situational awareness for optimal use:

  • Hit as a crossup or early: keeps the opponent grounded. Confirm into 5P/c.S on landing for grounded confirms or 5K for a launch if close enough.
  • Hit later or at the launch side during a combo: launches opponents for generally big damage. Huge damage when hit as low as possible.
  • Counter hit: Fully untechable launch. You can confirm an OTG 2S from any height air counter hit, making counter hit air to air confirms extremely consistent. If you can manage to confirm into a juggle instead and thus avoid the OTG 2S proration, prepare to watch your opponent melt.
  • Non-launch grounded Counter hit: Gains a large amount of untechable time, making the followup confirm much easier.

Stalls Kliff's air momentum before plummeting. Used to bait anti airs, throws, and some reversals. Nearly uncontestable, but horribly unsafe if you miss.

  • Easy damage confirms in the corner, smaller things midscreen. Can begin 6[H] confirms.
  • Can be FRC'd or FDC'd before it starts. The FRC will maintain downwards momentum, but FDC will cause Kliff to float upwards very slowly.
    • This FDC can be done with a j.D right off the ground into a minimum 15f .S IOH.
  • Will always retain its landing recovery unless you (F)RC and use a different jumping special move before you hit the ground.
    • This means it's better to (F)RC and airdash and/or use j.41236S and then do something on landing if they're not conditioned to attempt an Anti-Air.

Step Dash

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
Total 34 3~19F Low Profile

Kliff's replacement for a standard character's dash. An incredibly important tool for Kliff with unique properties that give it use cases in every matchup.

For starters, unlike the Step Dash that  Johnny has, Kliff's can be cancelled into attacks at any point. This allows Kliff to incorporate dash momentum into grounded combo starters and aids in his approach as well. Important to note, if Kliff's dash is cancelled into an attack before he begins to move forward, he will not gain momentum on the ground, so timing is key for certain corner combos!

Even more importantly, Kliff's dash has a large amount of low profile When a character's hurtbox is entirely beneath an opponent's attack. This can be caused by crouching, certain moves, and being short., the exact same amount of it as  Faust crawling! This allows Kliff to slip under many projectiles and attacks, and gives him a lot of ways to anti-air and sneak under his opponent's offense.

Advanced Usage: Utilizing the low profile that Kliff's Step Dash provides combined with Slashback can allow Kliff to automatically time Slashbacks out of it! This is a powerful technique against moves like  Baiken's KabariGGACR Baiken 41236H Hitbox 1.pngGuardMidStartup20Recovery15Advantage+2, where Kliff can dash under the initial active frames just fine, but the late frames frequently hit him out of the recovery of his dash or the startup of another normal. By Slashbacking out of the dash instead, Kliff will stand up and it will automatically time itself. This can also be used against slow and/or large lingering projectiles, and against higher jump-ins.

Transport attack, good in combos and as a (whiff) punish due to its large hitbox, speed, and range. Very difficult to punish.

  • Will beat many specific moves because of multiple hits, breaking through armor and riskier long range moves (e.g: Potemkin's slidehead and hammerfall).
  • Airborne from frame 7, will go over some things.
  • Unsafe on block, and in counterhit state for almost the entire duration, but you can still get away with this on block fairly frequently.

  • Will vacuum even when they tech and requires FD to airblock, so it can repeatedly reset unaware opponents.
    • If you're on the receiving end of this move, tech and hold FD until you safely touch the ground.

NOTE: This attack groups hitboxes in trios.
E.G: [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,1,2]...
Minimum number of hits is 7 (42F).
The "finishing attack" is hitbox #3.

Total 48 1~48F Strike
Total: 48

One of Kliff's defining moves in which he just steps to the side. Is strike invul for its entire duration. Can only be punished with throw.

  • Can either be followed up with Hellish Charge to put a hitbox out, or you can just wait for the recovery to end and grab or smack a button.
  • Works as a very risky reversal on wakeup, or use on oki to bait the reversals.
  • Great against lengthy moves you can react to, like supers, and can follow up with Chop or FB Chop for a huge punish.
  • Can be OS'd against and will lose to safejump > land > throw OS.
  • The closer you are to being dizzied and the more often you use it, the more chances it has of failing, which will get you killed.
  • This move cannot be canceled into.
  • Kliff 214P adds 10.24 stun to Kliff, regardless of whether or not you do a follow-up.
    • Kliff 214P does not increase Kliff's stun when it triggers Back Break state. It only increases stun when Kliff successfully dodges.

Throwing out Kliff's back
Under normal conditions, that is to say, you only input 214P in that order:

  • When Kliff's stun is less than 25% of his max stun, 214P is guaranteed to work
  • When Kliff's stun is between 25% (inclusive) and 50% (exclusive) of his max stun, he has a 12.5% chance to fail and break his back
  • When Kliff's stun is between 50% (inclusive) and 75% (exclusive) of his max stun, he has a 25% chance to fail and break his back
  • When Kliff's stun is greater than or equal to 75% of his max stun, he has a 50% chance to fail and break his back

Under abnormal conditions, and the condition appears to be whether or not you kara-cancel into 214P.

  • When Kliff's stun is less than 25% of his max stun, 214P is guaranteed to work
  • When Kliff's stun is between 25% (inclusive) and 50% (exclusive), 214P has a 25% chance to fail and break his back
  • When Kliff's stun is between 50% (inclusive) and 75% (exclusive), Kliff has a 50% chance to fail and break his back
  • When Kliff's stun is greater than or equal to 75% of his max stun, Kliff has a 75% chance to fail and break his back

Note: The reason "Max Stun" is used here instead of Kliff's default stun rating of 50, is because the dodge checks the maximum value, which can be modified. Check out the Bear Stun explanation for more details.

Pseudo-DP followup to dodge done as a manzai routine smack. Strike invuln until startup.

  • Staggers on hit, allowing for a throw followup if they don't mash out.
  • Tags a hit against players who do not know to safejump > throw against dodge.
  • Better conversions when RC'd, eliminates it being unsafe.

40, 32 High/Air, All 14 Until landing+12 26 -6

Kliff's main air combo knockdown tool. Strong all around move, both as a combo starter and ender.

  • Hits overhead, can cross up while cutting Kliff's horizontal momentum, and stalls in the air for occasional fakeouts.
  • Leads to a safejump with fuzzy guard setups. Has four(?) different shockwave sizes, growing larger the higher Kliff is when he initiates the move.
  • Leads to big damage, or guaranteed dizzy setups in the corner on hit with meter.
  • Can be difficult to punish due to pushback.
  • The second hit can cancel out other projectiles, keeping Kliff safe against things like Eddie's drills.
  • FRC right before it goes active to fake out into a throw or low.
  • Comes with the weakness of being out prioritized by j.214S if you get crossed under, which is *horribly* unsafe on whiff. Always keep the opponent's position in mind.
  • Can be punished by having the first hit air blocked and the second hit jumped over.

This move is overall one of Kliff's more important ones. Can be very frustrating to deal with if the opponent is not familiar with it.

Big hitbox projectile which covers a huge amount of horizontal airspace. Feasts off of other projectiles.

  • Blows Kliff back on use, helping him get out of dodge, particularly when Tiger Knee'd.
  • Untechable blowback and wallbounce on hit, giving Kliff ample time to convert as they fall back towards him.
  • Recovers as soon as the active frames fade, letting Kliff airdash back in and go for something like a falling j.H for an immediate ground pickup.
  • All around strong move. Never a bad use of meter.

Almost guaranteed stun move (x50 modifier!). Getting tagged by this is one of the most frustrating things in the game. First you stun them, then you win.

  • Too slow to use at neutral, but can be combo'd into. Can work as a very slow punish in some instances.
  • Significantly less invuln than the meterless version.
  • Despite the ludicrously high dizzy modifier, there are many instances where the dizzy is not guaranteed. Use as early in a combo as possible when setting up.
    • Tends to work best near the corner, out of throw, airthrow, j.41236, Impossible Dust, and CH Gold Burst.
  • Becomes riskier to attempt the more you've been hit or attempted to dodge/214P. Be absolutely certain that you won't throw out your back when combo'ing into this.
  • Will perform the coughing animation regardless of hit or block/whiff. Won't give you enough time to start a combo with 6[H] unless you RC it. Kliff will still get ridiculous punishes afterwards regardless.

Quick, full screen, high damage answer that blows through everything else. Enter the Dragon.

  • Will destroy other projectiles on screen.
  • Active for a huge amount of time, but won't fully extend until later in its active frames.
  • Often used to hitconfirm max ranged pokes into good damage. Can end combos or continue them.
  • Can be FRC'd to bait bursts, or follow with a whiffed 214K for good corner carry and a combo.
  • Wallsticks when close enough to the corner. Can do meterless confirms if close enough or if Reflex Roar hits later in its active frames.
  • Not fully invul. Kliff will get tagged before it goes active if he sticks his hand into a hitbox. Otherwise one of Kliff's best uses of 50 meter.

Extremely slow reversal that's invincible until it starts, but is very hit or miss if it connects.

  • Can be charged after the flash for more hits. Charging will also extend its throw invincibility until the button is released.
  • 0F after the first hit, so good in gaps against moves with a lot of recovery.
  • Hits at random and can knock them any given distance away from you. Can knock targets out of the hit zone and make itself completely vulnerable on hit.
  • If the opponent is sucked in on the last hit, it can combo into 2S > 236S after the knockdown.
