|content = Baiken is a versatile, aggressive samurai wielding a deadly blade that allows her to switch seamlessly between oppressive mid-range pokes and terrifying close-range mix-ups. The Unfaltering Samurai has returned, as formidable as ever.   


Baiken’s varied and well-balanced kit makes her effective at a variety of ranges. She has no shortage of excellent mid ranged pokes, allowing her to bully opponents from afar. Up close, her {{keyword|TK}} [[{{PAGENAME}}#Youzansen|Youzansen]] and wide range of {{keyword|frame trap}}s give her plenty of mix-up options, and her combos are massively rewarding. Her [[{{PAGENAME}}#Tatami Gaeshi|Tatami Gaeshi]] is a veritable Swiss army knife of a move, supplying frame traps, combos, and safe endings to her blockstrings on the ground; in the air, it provides excellent space control and allows for easy safe jump setups after  after most knockdowns.
With her well-balanced kit, Baiken fights effectively at a variety of ranges. She has many strong, mid ranged pokes, allowing her to bully opponents from afar. Up close, her {{keyword|IAS}} {{MMC|input=j.236S|label=Youzansen}} and many {{keyword|frame trap}}s give her strong mix-ups, and rewarding combos. [[#Tatami Gaeshi|Tatami Gaeshi]] is a veritable Swiss army knife of a move, supplying frame traps, combos, and safe blockstrings enders on the ground; in the air, it provides excellent space control and easy safe jump setups after most knockdowns.


Her defense is entirely unique, matched by no one else in the game. Her parry, [[{{PAGENAME}}#Hiiragi|Hiiragi]], has a tight timing window and cannot deflect projectiles or throws, but comes out on frame 1, allowing Baiken to punish strikes heavily. The opponent must alter their timing constantly to lessen this risk - but by the same token, if Baiken becomes predictable in her parry attempts, she is ripe for punishment.
Thanks to her parry, [[#Hiiragi|Hiiragi]], Baiken's defense is entirely unique. It has a tight timing window and cannot deflect projectiles or throws, but comes out on frame 1, allowing Baiken to punish strikes heavily. The opponent must alter their timing constantly to lessen this risk - but by the same token, if Baiken becomes predictable in her parry attempts, she is ripe for punishment.  


Further emphasising her high-risk, high-reward nature is her unique tether mechanic. She can attach herself to her opponent with a rope by landing a ground throw or {{prompt|GGST|S|18px}} [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kabari|Kabari]]. Tethered combatants are pulled towards one another constantly, bouncing in if they dash away from their partner, or if they get knocked away. This allows Baiken to convert off of her pokes at long range into explosively damaging combos, but if her foe catches her, she will pay the price.
Baiken has the unique ability to tether herself to her opponent with a rope by landing a ground throw or {{prompt|GGST|S|18px}} [[#Kabari|Kabari]]. Tethered combatants are pulled towards one another constantly, bouncing in if they move away or get knocked away from their tetheree. This allows Baiken to convert off of her pokes at long range into powerful combos, but if her foe catches her, she will pay the price.  


As versatile as she is, the true strength of her sword only shows when she is willing to take risks - by optimising the use of her tether and parrying when her opponent is least expecting it. Show courage, and fight in a calculated manner. Baiken can be as aggressive as she needs to be, and it is up to you to determine what risks are worth taking.
The true strength of Baiken's sword only shows when the user takes calculated risks. Show courage, fight purposefully and master balancing risk and reward to make the target of Baiken's ire pay for their wickedness.
 
Boasting excellent space control tools and plenty of tricks for both offense and defense, Baiken is armed with everything she needs. The target of her ire will pay for their wickedness.

| pros =
{{GGST/Infobox
*'''Midrange Control:''' Baiken excels at taking screen space and forcing respect. She has a large array of pokes with fantastic range that she can use to bully her opponent back towards the corner, and can threaten most characters at ranges that they cannot easily match. 
| fastestAttack = [[#5P|5P]] (4F)
*'''High Pressure:''' Once she closes the distance, Baiken's close-range offense is very powerful. She boasts a dizzying array of frame traps that make her strike-throw game very strong, and her infamous {{keyword|Tiger Knee}} [[{{PAGENAME}}#Youzansen|Youzansen]] forces the opponent to respect the option of a surprise instant overhead - especially when she has meter.
| reversal = [[#Hiiragi|236P]] (Catch 1-7F)<br/>[[#Tsurane Sanzu-watashi|236236S]] (9F)
*'''Easy Safejumps:''' Baiken's {{clr|4|j.H}} and aerial [[{{PAGENAME}}#Tatami Gaeshi|Tatami Gaeshi]] make safejumps incredibly simple. Whether following up on a throw or a combo, Baiken makes it incredibly difficult for her opponent to escape, allowing her to continue her pressure.
}}
*'''Tether:''' Applied with either her ground throw or {{clr|3|S}} [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kabari|Kabari]], the tether is a short-range rope that binds Baiken and her opponent together. Baiken's tethering allows her to stay glued to opponents and apply unique pressure/combo sequences once she's roped them into an unfavorable situation.
{{ReasonsToPick
*'''Powerful Defense:''' [[{{PAGENAME}}#Hiiragi|Hiiragi]] is a defensive parry, active from frame 1, that allows Baiken to call out {{keyword|frame trap}}s or predictable pressure in ways most characters cannot.
| intro = {{Character Label|GGST|Baiken}} is a simple but powerful samurai filled with ways to open up the opponent.
| cons =  
| pickMe =  
*'''Limited Midscreen Confirms:''' Despite her great buttons, Baiken's ability to confirm these buttons from range without counter hit is very limited as [[{{PAGENAME}}#Tatami Gaeshi|Tatami Gaeshi]] has limited range and [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kabari|Kabari]] is too slow to combo at all ranges. This can be mitigated with Tether, but that has its own downsides.
* Getting knockdowns into rewarding vortexes from single hits in neutral.
*'''Meter Hungry:''' Baiken's [[{{PAGENAME}}#Hiiragi|Hiiragi]] and [[{{PAGENAME}}#Youzansen|Youzansen]] are both very powerful, but also very high-risk. They leave her extremely vulnerable if they fail, demanding that she spend her Tension defensively to keep herself safe. She also depends on Roman Cancel to capitalize off of her instant overhead in many situations. Without Tension to spend, Baiken has to gamble with high stakes much more frequently, and her mix-up game is substantially less threatening.
* Commanding the skies with some of the best air buttons in the game.
*'''Limited Anti-Airs:''' Baiken's normals don't reach high into the air, leaving the universal {{clr|1|6P}} as her only consistent grounded option to stop opponents approaching from above. Her {{clr|5|j.D}} and other aerial buttons can force the opponent to respect her airspace, but require much more in the way of committment.
* Punishing your opponent's pressure with unique high-reward options on defense.
| difficulty_rating = 3
* Controlling space with powerful neutral tools such as {{prompt|GGST|H|18px}} [[#Kabari|Kabari]] and {{clr|S|F.S}}.  
| official_difficulty = yes
| avoidMe =  
| unique_mechanic1_name = Tether
* Complicated pressure options, such as {{prompt|GGST|S|18px}} [[#Kabari|Kabari]], require labbing and exploration to use to it's fullest extent.  
| unique_mechanic1 = After landing a ground throw or {{clr|3|S}} [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kabari|Kabari]], the opponent is connected to Baiken via a rope. Should either character move a certain proximity away from the other, the rope will repel them back toward their respective opponent. After a certain amount of time, the rope breaks automatically.
* Neutral that can feel slow and passive, due to her slow dash and walk speeds.
* Inconsistent grounded anti-air options require proficient usage of air throw and air-to-airs to reliably anti-air.
* Conditional reward off of grounded pokes require counter or crouching hits to confirm into knockdowns.

The momentum/movement of the resulting pullback depends on the movement used before the pull took effect. (i.e, simply walking back will nudge characters forward, whereas air dashing backward will swing them directly toward their opponent full speed).

*Baiken's fastest normal.
*Hits all crouching opponents.


Is stubby and minus on block, but her suite of command normals means she has a very workable spread of options to threaten with from 5P.
Particularly noteworthy for a {{clr|P|5P}} as its low hitbox means that it hits crouching opponents (including Faust's crouch-walk). It still loses to attacks with extremely low profiles (i.e Sol's {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Sol Badguy|input=214S|label=Night Raid Vortex}}), though, and this same low hitbox makes it ineffective as the emergency anti-air option that other characters might be able to use their {{clr|P|5P}} to fulfill.

Since this normal is 4 frames, this makes it Baiken's best abare option if she doesn't want to risk Hiiragi failing on her. Despite the short range, the sheer speed can be difficult to overcome in certain matchups.


Combos naturally into {{clr|1|6P}} or {{clr|2|6K}} > [[{{PAGENAME}}#Tatami Gaeshi|Tatami Gaeshi]], allowing for a small combo mid-screen, chase into oki, or outright wallbreak combo in the corner.

Potent far poke for when {{clr|S|f.S}} doesn't reach.
 
Very strong poke in neutral and great for fishing for counter hits. Just like {{clr|S|f.S}}, this move does not naturally combo into {{clr|H|2H}} unless it's a counter hit or crouching hit. Due to its longer recovery and slower startup it's used bit less than {{clr|S|f.S}} but is a vital tool in her guessing game involving {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Baiken|input=41236H|label=H Kabari}}.
 
Despite the animation the actual hurtbox of Baiken is placed just high enough for this move to lose to all {{clr|P|6P}} moves except for {{Character Label|GGST|Goldlewis Dickinson|label=Goldlewis'}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Goldlewis Dickinson|input=6P|label=6P}} if spaced poorly in blockstrings. This is primarily potent during her afformentioned H Kabari pressure. As such do not rely purely on this move to call out 6Ps, {{clr|H|2H}} is more risky, but more reliable option.

An absolutely massive swipe along the ground that also sees Baiken advancing forward.

An absolutely massive swipe along the ground that also sees Baiken advancing forward. A useful, if risky, long-range poke, as it catches jump startup from her longer pokes and launches on hit for an easy confirm into {{prompt|GGST|H}} [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kabari|Kabari]] at all but its tip range. Also serves as an easy and rewarding {{keyword|frame trap}} from {{clr|S|c.S}}, and thus forms an integral part of Baiken's mix-up game at close range. Don't whiff this, as its long recovery makes it very easy to punish.
 
This move can also low profile a variety of mid height attacks due to the low hurtbox. Note that during the startup frames, Baiken is not fully low profile until the move becomes active, so it is not advisable to use {{clr|H|2H}} as a reactive low profile.

Baiken can also opt into a strong high/low and same-side/crossup game which does not safe jump but leads into a full combo.


The combined threat of the tether, the safejumps, and the potential crossup make Baiken's throw very threatening, greatly enhancing the power of her strike-throw game. In certain matchups where Baiken does not want to be kept close to the opponent, {{clr|5|[4]D}} or {{clr|5|[6]D}} may still be preferable to allow her to maintain space.

An alternative throw option that lets Baiken avoid tethering the opponent on a grab or cash out more damage when throwing a tethered opponent due to the additional delay on the launch allowing combos when pulled back in by the tether.

An advancing, plus on block strike with Guard Crush properties and a myriad of cancel options. On top of that, it drains opponents burst gauge, allows for potent conversions from pokes and grants a Hard Knockdown on wallbreak, all for the reasonable price of half your burst gauge.
 
Being rather slow on startup and having no armor or invulnerable frames, it is ill-advised to use this move in neutral. On the other hand, when blocked by an opponent due to its guard crush property and being able to cancel into any attack or jump, Wild Assault allows Baiken to gaplessly string into any option of your choosing. However be careful to not get too predictable using it, as it always leaves a large enough gap to allow the opponent to throw you.
 
When used in combos, Wild Assault properties differ depending on whether it was charged or not. On grounded hit, uncharged version puts the oppenent into the stagger state, while the charged version launches the oppenent high into the air, allowing Baiken to follow-up into an air combo or combo into {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Baiken|input=41236S|label={{clr|S|S}} Kabari}} among other options. On mid-air hit both versions launch the opponent, with the uncharged version knocking the opponent away and charged version leaving them close to Baiken.
 
*Normal, special, jump, and backdash cancelable.
*Drains 7.14% of the opponent's [[GGST/Gauges#Burst Gauge|Burst Gauge]] on hit or block.

;Ground Tatami
;Ground Tatami
Very versatile move. Launches opponents for combos and sets up safejumps when no combo is available. It's just slow enough to frametrap after most of Baiken's normals and links into {{clr|S|c.S}} or {{clr|K|5K}} on counter hit for full combo.
Tatami consists of two parts: first hit (initial physical strike) and second hit (the falling mat). If the first hit lands Baiken is -3, but if the first hit misses and only the second hit lands Baiken ends up slightly plus on block. This can be useful as a pseudo pressure extention, but Baiken is left vulnerable during the time frame before the mat hits her opponents, leaving big enough gap for the opponent to backdash or upback away or even mash out.
From frames 15 to 30, Tatami Gaeshi will nullify some opposing projectiles (excluding Overdrives). More information in the table at the bottom of this section.
* Physical hit in front of Baiken that launches opponents.
* Physical hit in front of Baiken that launches opponents.
* Deletes enemy projectiles on contact (air version does not)
* Deletes some enemy projectiles on contact (air version does not)
This move does it all. Launches opponents for combos and sets up safejumps when no combo is available. It's just slow enough to frametrap after most of Baiken's normals and combos into {{clr|4|6H}} on counter hit for huge damage. It's also pretty safe on block and can help Baiken set up whiff traps if it hits late. From frames 15 to 30, Tatami Gaeshi will nullify opposing projectiles (excluding Overdrives).

;Air Tatami
;Air Tatami
* Spawns a projectile.
{{keyword|IAD}} Tatami is an extremely powerful okizeme tool. Its main use is for her auto-timed safejumps after her {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Baiken|input=41236H|label=H Kabari}} hard knockdown, letting her continue her pressure after almost any knockdown she gets.
 
Instant air backdash tatami is possible, however it requires superjump. The full input for it is {{clr|K|27541236K}}, or {{clr|K|27>dash macro>41236K}}. IABD tatami is a fantastic keep away tool and if the enemy runs into it Baiken can start her pressure or even get full combo with {{clr|K|2K}} or even with {{clr|S|c.S}}.
* Tatami mat is active until it lands.
* Tatami mat is active until it lands.
{{keyword|IAD}} Tatami is a powerful approach and okizeme tool that has been made a lot easier thanks to the extended airdash startup and dash macro. It also makes for an excellent meaty after most things Baiken ends combos with. For instance, H [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kabari|Kabari]]'s Follow-Up can lead to a meaty Tatami with 866{{clr|2|j.236K}}.
* If Air tatami hits during its first active frame, it will deal 40 damage. If it hits after that (as it falls to the ground) it will do 20 damage.

Use and abuse to condition your opponent to block.
 
The follow-up slash puts Baiken in a unique animation when blocked, similar in appearance to a Guard Crush. The follow-up slash is very unsafe on block, as many characters can punish Baiken with {{clr|S|c.S}} if poorly spaced, but in majority of ranges her opponent can at least get {{clr|K|2K}} > {{clr|D|2D}} punish.
 
The followup can be used to close space when H kabari whiffs in a combo. Since the followup has low whiff recovery Baiken will be in the opponent's face ready to pressure again.

|description=
Baiken's main high mixup option when performed as close to the ground as possible (known as an {{keyword|IAS}} or {{keyword|TK}} Youzansen). IAS Youzansen is incredibly fast, but also incredibly unsafe on block.  


First hit can be used as a safe ender for blockstrings. Second hit can be thrown or low profiled, however delayed Kabari will beat the timing of most or all of these options. Can be used similarly to Chipp's Resshou and Ramlethal's Erarlumo to reset pressure due to the opponent's fear of a follow-up. Use and abuse to condition your opponent to block, but be cautious as it can be easily whiff punished due to its long total active duration.
IAS Youzansen naturally {{keyword|frame trap}}s from {{clr|K|5K}}. From {{clr|S|c.S}}, it is naturally a true blockstring, but can still be delayed to act as a frame trap. If it counter-hits the opponent (usually from the frame trap option), Baiken can follow up with a combo. It remains incredibly unsafe if the opponent blocks, but combined with {{clr|D|2D}}, the threat of an instant overhead from Youzansen becomes a central part of Baiken's pressure.


The follow-up slash puts Baiken in a unique animation when blocked, similar in appearance to a Guard Crush. Deceptively safe however, as without Instant Block, only Chipp {{clr|1|5P}} can punish it once blocked. Hiiragi is extremely good at catching people who try to punish this, and once conditioned can allow Baiken to initiate her midscreen pressure effectively. Like everything Baiken does, Kabari>Hiiragi is a high-risk, high reward string; on success, you either tear off a chunk of life from a successful parry and/or restart your pressure, and on failure you get blown up.  
If used after a normal jump-in, it will be plus enough to link after while also adding an extra high hit for your opponent to block. When used as a {{keyword|crossup}}, it launches all characters high enough to give Baiken combo by linking {{clr|S|2S}} or even run up {{clr|K|5K}} after.

* Hits overhead, very fast if TK'd.
* Different Tiger Knee methods will merit different frame data, the infobox refers to {{clr|3|2369S}}.
** {{clr|3|8236S / 9236S}} is +5 on hit and -15 on block.
** {{clr|3|2369S}} is +3 on hit and -18 on block.


Baiken's main high mixup option if {{keyword|Tiger Knee}}'d and additional high hit for jump-ins. TK Youzansen is incredibly fast but also incredibly unsafe on block.

TK Youzansen naturally {{keyword|frame trap}}s from {{clr|2|5K}}. From {{clr|3|c.S}}, it is naturally a true blockstring, but can still be delayed to act as a frame trap. If it counter-hits the opponent (usually from the frame trap option), Baiken can follow up with a combo. It remains incredibly unsafe if the opponent blocks, but combined with {{clr|5|2D}}, the threat of an instant overhead from Youzansen becomes a central part of Baiken's pressure.
Baiken's parry. A fast, defensive callout with high damage and okizeme. Beats {{keyword|safejump}}s, but loses to projectiles and throws, and has a very short parry window.


If used after a normal jump-in, it will be plus enough to link after while also adding an extra high hit for your opponent to block. When used as a {{keyword|crossup}}, it leads into a combo if the opponent is tethered or if it lands counter-hit; otherwise, Baiken can Roman Cancel to follow up.
As a meterless frame 1 reversal, the threat of this move forces opponents to vary the timing of any strings or pressure with even the slightest gaps within them unless they want to eat a sizeable chunk of damage. While mashable in blockstun, the extremely tight window for the parry can make this extremely risky to attempt in neutral or against extended delay cancels.
</div>
Be wary of using this move predictably without Tension to Purple Roman Cancel it on whiff, as its recovery is very long and forces Counter Hit state, giving opponents devastating punishes.
</div>


===<big>Hiiragi</big>===
If Baiken parries an attack from too far away, she deals no damage and the opponent is instead guard crushed, leaving Baiken advantageous but not necessarily with time to begin her preferred pressure. However, she can still safely frametrap with {{clr|S|2S}} at most ranges.

* Baiken's parry and defensive callout.
* Loses to projectiles and throws.
* Parry has both a close and far version: Close Parry deals high damage and knocks down, while far Parry deals no damage but forces the opponent into a recoil animation for 54 frames.
* Far Parry cannot be Roman Cancelled.
* Baiken can {{keyword|Option Select}} Roman Cancel the parry's recovery as the parry activation itself cannot be RC'd for a short period.
* Moves that are parryable despite not seeming so include: {{Character Label|GGST|Axl Low|label=Axl's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Axl Low|input=236236H|label=Sickle Storm}} and {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Axl Low|input=214H|label=Snail}}, either hit of {{Character Label|GGST|Sol Badguy|label=Sol's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Sol Badguy|input=632146H|label=Tyrant Rave}}, {{Character Label|GGST|Potemkin|label=Potemkin's}} {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Potemkin|input=214H|label=Garuda Impact}} and {{MiniMoveCard|game=GGST|chara=Potemkin|input=632146H|label=the first hit of Giganter Kai}}.


As a meterless frame 1 reversal, the threat of this move forces opponents to vary the timing of any strings or pressure with even the slightest gaps within them unless they want to eat a sizeable chunk of damage. While mashable in blockstun, the extremely tight window for the parry can make this extremely risky to attempt in neutral or against extended delay cancels.
* Cannot be Purple Roman Cancelled on successful hit, but a clean hit can be Red Roman Cancelled after the final hit. This can be used to {{keyword|Option Select}} with a Roman Cancel during recovery.
Be wary of using this move predictably without Tension to Purple Roman Cancel it on whiff, as its recovery is very long in Counter Hit state, allowing opponents devastating punishes.
* In full Counter Hit state during recovery.
* Some attacks that do or do not count as projectiles are unusual. For a full list of moves that ''cannot'' be parried, see the table below.


If Baiken parries an attack from far away, the opponent is locked into a guard crush animation. Unfortunately, Baiken is still forced to play out her recovery animation and is not able to Roman Cancel it. This puts her at -1 to +5 depending on which active frame parry was activated, but the distance between characters required to activate far parry mostly results in a reset to neutral. This isn't necessarily a bad situation for Baiken depending on the matchup.

This is Baiken's only throw-invulnerable reversal. It's also her preferred super for ending corner combos thanks to its very high damage. The last hit has massive range and can break the wall after even simple midscreen gatlings into it, but the first hit's range is deceptively short, forcing Baiken to use [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kenjyu|Kenjyu]] as her combo ender instead at some ranges.

This is Baiken's only throw-invulnerable reversal. It's also her preferred super for ending corner combos thanks to its very high damage. The last hit has massive range and can break the wall after even simple midscreen gatlings into it, but the first hit's range is deceptively short, forcing Baiken to use [[{{PAGENAME}}#Kenjyu|Kenjyu]] as her combo ender instead at some ranges.

Overview

Overview

Baiken is a versatile, aggressive samurai wielding a deadly blade that allows her to switch seamlessly between oppressive mid-range pokes and terrifying close-range mix-ups. The Unfaltering Samurai has returned, as formidable as ever.

With her well-balanced kit, Baiken fights effectively at a variety of ranges. She has many strong, mid ranged pokes, allowing her to bully opponents from afar. Up close, her IAS Instant Air Special
Conceptually includes Tiger KneePerforming a special as soon as possible after becoming airborne. Usually, but not always, involves an input trick.
For Example: 2369S for a j.236S input.
YouzansenGGST Baiken j236S.pngGuardHighStartup9Recovery7 after LandingAdvantage-14 (IAS) and many frame trap An offensive technique where the attacker leaves a small opening in their offense, goading the defender into performing an attack. This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own.s give her strong mix-ups, and rewarding combos. Tatami Gaeshi is a veritable Swiss army knife of a move, supplying frame traps, combos, and safe blockstrings enders on the ground; in the air, it provides excellent space control and easy safe jump setups after most knockdowns.

Thanks to her parry, Hiiragi, Baiken's defense is entirely unique. It has a tight timing window and cannot deflect projectiles or throws, but comes out on frame 1, allowing Baiken to punish strikes heavily. The opponent must alter their timing constantly to lessen this risk - but by the same token, if Baiken becomes predictable in her parry attempts, she is ripe for punishment.

Baiken has the unique ability to tether herself to her opponent with a rope by landing a ground throw or S Kabari. Tethered combatants are pulled towards one another constantly, bouncing in if they move away or get knocked away from their tetheree. This allows Baiken to convert off of her pokes at long range into powerful combos, but if her foe catches her, she will pay the price.

The true strength of Baiken's sword only shows when the user takes calculated risks. Show courage, fight purposefully and master balancing risk and reward to make the target of Baiken's ire pay for their wickedness.

 Baiken is a simple but powerful samurai filled with ways to open up the opponent.
Pick if you like Avoid if you dislike
  • Getting knockdowns into rewarding vortexes from single hits in neutral.
  • Commanding the skies with some of the best air buttons in the game.
  • Punishing your opponent's pressure with unique high-reward options on defense.
  • Controlling space with powerful neutral tools such as H Kabari and F.S.
  • Complicated pressure options, such as S Kabari, require labbing and exploration to use to it's fullest extent.
  • Neutral that can feel slow and passive, due to her slow dash and walk speeds.
  • Inconsistent grounded anti-air options require proficient usage of air throw and air-to-airs to reliably anti-air.
  • Conditional reward off of grounded pokes require counter or crouching hits to confirm into knockdowns.


Unique Mechanic: Tether

After landing a ground throw or S Kabari, the opponent is connected to Baiken via a rope. Should either character move a certain proximity away from the other, the rope will repel them back toward their respective opponent. After a certain amount of time, the rope breaks automatically.

The momentum/movement of the resulting pullback depends on the movement used before the pull took effect. (i.e. simply walking back will nudge characters forward, whereas air dashing backward will swing them directly toward their opponent full speed).

For more information on the tether, its properties, and how it impacts Baiken's playstyle, see the Strategy page.

Normal Moves

StartupThe time before an attack is active. Written startup values include the first active frame, so the startup on a frame chart will display one less square than the written value. Frames
Active The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent. Frames
InactiveFrames in the middle of multi-hit attacks which cannot hit the opponent, but are after the move has become active at least once. Frames
Recovery The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking. Frames
Special RecoveryThe recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action.Recovery frames which happen under abnormal conditions, such as after landing. Frames
ProjectileIndicates an entity that exists separately from the character has become active. Usually something like a Fireball A projectile which usually travels slowly across the screen in a horizontal path above the ground.. Active
CancelA window in which to cancel a move. Can be varied in usage. Window

5P

Baiken's fastest normal.

Is stubby and minus on block, but her suite of command normals and it being 4 frames means she has a very workable spread of options to threaten with from 5P.

Particularly noteworthy for a 5P as its low hitbox means that it hits crouching opponents (including Faust's crouch-walk). It still loses to attacks with extremely low profiles (i.e Sol's Night Raid VortexGGST Sol Badguy 214S 1.pngGuardAllStartup15~31 [32]Recovery32 [26]Advantage-17), though, and this same low hitbox makes it ineffective as the emergency anti-air option that other characters might be able to use their 5P to fulfill.

Since this normal is 4 frames, this makes it Baiken's best abare option if she doesn't want to risk Hiiragi failing on her. Despite the short range, the sheer speed can be difficult to overcome in certain matchups.

Combos naturally into 6P or 6K > Tatami Gaeshi, allowing for a small combo mid-screen, chase into oki, or outright wallbreak combo in the corner.

  • Hits all crouching opponents.

Uncharged Dust

Universal overhead attack. Baiken performs a palm thrust infused with ki. A pretty bad overhead option considering the much quicker YouzansenGGST Baiken j236S.pngGuardHighStartup9Recovery7 after LandingAdvantage-14 (IAS) exists, which gatlings and naturally combos from the same attacks. Perks include being only slightly less punishable and being able to link this from 2K.

  • Uncharged dust on-hit is 0 or neutral frame advantage and causes float
  • Causes 80% proration on-hit

Charged Dust

Similar to uncharged but is slow enough to be reacted to, but if it does land it gives a very high damaging combo no matter where you are on the screen. Like any charged dust, only use this on guaranteed punishes (Ky's RTL, Gio's Ventania, etc.) or opponents that are sleeping on defense; Very worth learning what moves can be punished with 5[D] to increases mid-screen damage potential.

  • Charged dust leads to soft knockdown (+36).
  • Holding up during the hitstop frames of charged dust will activate homing jump:
    • Doing a homing jump will cause an area shift and put the opponent into a unique high damaging air combo state.
    • Pressing any attack twice without jump/dash cancel will activate the homing jump finisher causing a hard knockdown (+23).
  • Baiken's strongest meterless ender for Wall Break.

Potent far poke for when f.S doesn't reach.

Very strong poke in neutral and great for fishing for counter hits. Just like f.S, this move does not naturally combo into 2H unless it's a counter hit or crouching hit.

Advancing, low poke with huge hitbox and long recovery, great for whiff punishing moves with longer recovery.

An absolutely massive swipe along the ground that also sees Baiken advancing forward. A useful, if risky, long-range poke, as it catches jump startup from her longer pokes and launches on hit for an easy confirm into H Kabari at all but its tip range. Also serves as an easy and rewarding frame trap An offensive technique where the attacker leaves a small opening in their offense, goading the defender into performing an attack. This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own. from c.S, and thus forms an integral part of Baiken's mix-up game at close range. Don't whiff this, as its long recovery makes it very easy to punish.

This move can also low profile a variety of mid height attacks due to the low hurtbox. Note that during the startup frames, Baiken is not fully low profile until the move becomes active, so it is not advisable to use 2H as a reactive low profile.

Baiken's main anti-air.

6P is a true blockstring from any P or K normals, giving her a gapless option along with a frame trap option in 6K. 6P is also a decent anti-air and counterpoke, but its range leaves a little to be desired. HS Kabari is a reliable anti-air followup on hit or block, or use Kenjyu to cash out Tension for damage.

Baiken slowly swings her sword, striking directly in front of her with a disjoint attack. Despite the animation, this attack's hitbox is entirely in front of Baiken and it strikes at and below her head level. The ground bounce and large time slow effect on counterhit make this attack a potent frametrap option against characters that lack fast mash options or against players who have been conditioned out of using their fast buttons with Baiken's other pressure options. Does great damage, making it a good attack to break the wall with if other options aren't available.

  • Ground bounces opponents closer than 5H on air hit.
  • Ground bounces on counterhit.

Niche but still useful rising air-to-air, as it's at just the right angle to hit other jump-ins. Because of Baiken's short reach on her 6P, j.K can be sometimes be used as a preemptive anti-air.

Very effective air poke, leads to massive reward on hit.

One of Baiken's best air options. The chain comes out very fast and covers a good angle below her, making it easy to approach from the air. Don't be too predictable in using this to approach as it's not disjoint and can be 6P'd. On hit and counter hit it leads to a very strong combo with large corner carry.

A slightly disjointed hitbox, pushback, great range, and CH reward make this a strong improv anti-air/air-to-air option. Thanks to its pushback it can be very safe to throw out in neutral as a poke or as an attempt at catching opponents trying to jump away from the corner. Because of its wallbounce property, j.D is a fantastic corner combo tool that leads to great damage.

will even allow Baiken to crossup Attacking your opponent after changing which horizontal side you are on, typically by jumping over them. during her safejump. Baiken can also opt into a strong high/low and same-side/crossup game which does not safe jump but leads into a full combo.

The combined threat of the tether, the safejumps, and the potential crossup make Baiken's throw very threatening, greatly enhancing the power of her strike/throw game. In certain matchups where Baiken does not want to be kept close to the opponent 4[D] or 6[D] may still be preferable to allow her to maintain space. If either player uses Burst the tether breaks; as such this version of her throw is preferable in almost all matchups and situations.

For more information on the tether, its properties, and how it impacts Baiken's playstyle, see the Strategy page.

An alternative throw option that lets Baiken avoid tethering the opponent on a grab or cash out more damage when throwing a tethered opponent due to the additional delay on the launch allowing combos when pulled back in by the tether. Good for potential matchups/situations where being upclose would be less preferrable. When performing this on a tethered opponent, this allows Baiken perform cheeky crossup setups due to the pullback.

  • Same frame data as tethered throw.
  • Pulls opponent in if they are tethered before thrown.

Blue Wild Assault: Causes Guard Crush on block, and Stagger on uncharged hit. See here for more info on Wild Assault types.


An advancing, plus on block strike with Guard Crush properties and a myriad of cancel options. On top of that, it drains opponents burst gauge, allows for potent conversions from pokes and grants a Hard Knockdown on wallbreak, all for the reasonable price of half your burst gauge.

Being rather slow on startup and having no armor or invulnerable frames, it is ill-advised to use this move in neutral. On the other hand, when blocked by an opponent due to its guard crush property and being able to cancel into any attack or jump, Wild Assault allows Baiken to gaplessly string into any option of your choosing. However be careful to not get too predictable using it, as it always leaves a large enough gap to allow the opponent to throw you.

When used in combos, Wild Assault properties differ depending on whether it was charged or not. On grounded hit, uncharged version puts the oppenent into the stagger state, while the charged version launches the oppenent high into the air, allowing Baiken to follow-up into an air combo or combo into S KabariGGST Baiken 41236S.pngGuardAllStartup29Recovery15Advantage+3 among other options. On mid-air hit both versions launch the opponent, with the uncharged version knocking the opponent away and charged version leaving them close to Baiken.

  • Normal, special, jump, and backdash cancelable.
  • Drains 7.14% of the opponent's Burst Gauge on hit or block.
  • Applies Hard Knockdown when launching or when used to Wall Break.

Ground Tatami

Very versatile move. Launches opponents for combos and sets up safejumps when no combo is available. It's just slow enough to frametrap after most of Baiken's normals and links into c.S or 5K on counter hit for full combo.

Tatami consists of two parts: first hit (initial physical strike) and second hit (the falling mat). If the first hit lands Baiken is -3, but if the first hit misses and only the second hit lands Baiken ends up slightly plus on block. This can be useful as a pseudo pressure extention, but Baiken is left vulnerable during the time frame before the mat hits her opponents, leaving big enough gap for the opponent to backdash or upback away or even mash out.

From frames 15 to 30, Tatami Gaeshi will nullify some opposing projectiles (excluding Overdrives). More information in the table at the bottom of this section.

  • Physical hit in front of Baiken that launches opponents.
  • Deletes some enemy projectiles on contact (air version does not)

Air Tatami

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. Tatami is an extremely powerful okizeme tool. Its main use is for her auto-timed safejumps after her H KabariGGST Baiken 41236H.pngGuardAllStartup18Recovery19Advantage-3 hard knockdown, letting her continue her pressure after almost any knockdown she gets.

Instant air backdash tatami is possible, however it requires superjump. The full input for it is 27541236K, or 27>dash macro>41236K. IABD tatami is a fantastic keep away tool and if the enemy runs into it Baiken can start her pressure or even get full combo with 2K or even with c.S.

  • Tatami mat is active until it lands.
  • If Air tatami hits during its first active frame, it will deal 40 damage. If it hits after that (as it falls to the ground) it will do 20 damage.

On hit, the opponent will be pulled all the way towards Baiken, leaving them at point blank range and Baiken at +6 frame advantage. On block, the opponent will be pulled less than half of the move's maximum distance towards Baiken, leaving her +3 on block.

S Kabari is a very powerful combo and pressure extension tool, letting Baiken continue her blockstrings that comes with a risk of tethering herself to her opponent. However this situation is almost always extremely advantageous to her as it lets her continue her pressure and keep her opponent up close, constantly threatening with her Tatami Gaeshi frame trap.

For more information on the tether, its properties, and how it impacts Baiken's playstyle, see the Strategy page.

  • Tethers the opponent and pulls them towards Baiken on both hit and block.

Baiken's main combo ender. Ending a combo with the follow-up slash allows for a meaty Hitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. 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. Tatami Gaeshi.

First hit can be used as a safe ender for blockstrings. Second hit can be thrown but not low profiled or beaten with 6P moves. Can be used similarly to  Chipp's ReshouuGGST Chipp Zanuff Resshou.pngGuardAllStartup13Recovery16Advantage-4 and  Ramlethal's ErarlumoGGST Ramlethal Valentine Erarlumo 1.pngGuardAllStartup16Recovery12Advantage-5 to reset pressure due to the opponent's fear of a follow-up. Use and abuse to condition your opponent to block.

The follow-up slash puts Baiken in a unique animation when blocked, similar in appearance to a Guard Crush. The follow-up slash is very unsafe on block, as many characters can punish Baiken with c.S if poorly spaced, but in majority of ranges her opponent can at least get 2K > 2D punish.

The followup can be used to close space when H kabari whiffs in a combo. Since the followup has low whiff recovery Baiken will be in the opponent's face ready to pressure again.


  • Pulls the opponent towards Baiken on hit and block.
  • Pressing H again after H Kabari performs a follow-up slash that can be charged to delay the slash. Follow-up may be performed on whiff.

This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own.s from 5K. From c.S, it is naturally a true blockstring, but can still be delayed to act as a frame trap. If it counter-hits the opponent (usually from the frame trap option), Baiken can follow up with a combo. It remains incredibly unsafe if the opponent blocks, but combined with 2D, the threat of an instant overhead from Youzansen becomes a central part of Baiken's pressure.

If used after a normal jump-in, it will be plus enough to link after while also adding an extra high hit for your opponent to block. When used as a crossup Attacking your opponent after changing which horizontal side you are on, typically by jumping over them., it launches all characters high enough to give Baiken combo by linking 2S or even run up 5K after.

Baiken's parry. A fast, defensive callout with high damage and okizeme. Beats safejump A very well-timed jump attack on a character who is rising from a knockdown. Your goal is to attack extremely close to when you land so that, if the character performs an invincible reversal attack, you will land and be able to block. The opponent is then forced to block your jumping attack, since reversaling doesn't work, which will give you some nice pressure and hopefully an opening.s, but loses to projectiles and throws, and has a very short parry window.

As a meterless frame 1 reversal, the threat of this move forces opponents to vary the timing of any strings or pressure with even the slightest gaps within them unless they want to eat a sizeable chunk of damage. While mashable in blockstun, the extremely tight window for the parry can make this extremely risky to attempt in neutral or against extended delay cancels. Be wary of using this move predictably without Tension to Purple Roman Cancel it on whiff, as its recovery is very long and forces Counter Hit state, giving opponents devastating punishes.

If Baiken parries an attack from too far away, she deals no damage and the opponent is instead guard crushed, leaving Baiken advantageous but not necessarily with time to begin her preferred pressure. However, she can still safely frametrap with 2S at most ranges.

This is Baiken's only throw-invulnerable reversal. It's also her preferred super for ending corner combos thanks to its very high damage. The last hit has massive range and can break the wall after even simple midscreen gatlings into it, but the first hit's range is deceptively short, forcing Baiken to use Kenjyu as her combo ender instead at some ranges.

(NoteThe squares with a yellow underline indicate the first frame that you can Roman Cancel and maintain the projectile.)

Kenjyu is primarily used as an anti-zoning and whiff punish tool. Because of its very fast startup and travel speed it can punish reckless usage of full screen moves/projectiles from characters such as  Axl,  Faust or  Testament. Its other use is for finishing off combos when Tsurane Sanzu-watashi wouldn't reach.

It's extremely powerful when the enemy does not respect your full screen presence, but don't rely on it too much. Baiken is better off spending meter on YouzansenGGST Baiken j236S.pngGuardHighStartup9Recovery7 after LandingAdvantage-14 (IAS) mixups so careless usage of it is not recommended. Despite Kenjyu being one of the very few ways Baiken can generate plus frames, it's not a good pressure reset tool. The plus frames from guard crush are there to primarily help you close the gap a bit when blocked from full screen.

On hit, the projectile strikes the opponent, goes through them and explodes a few frames later, launching them towards Baiken and allowing her to continue the combo if she is close enough.

  • Air version fires diagonally towards the ground.
  • Hitting an opponent in the corner with the explosion causes a Wall Break and leaves Baiken +36 afterwards.
  • Firework explodes on contact with opponent or ground, otherwise it travels offscreen and disappears.
  • The projectile always goes off after superflash, even if hit during startup.
  • Beats all projectiles except for Testament's Nostrovia which is a multi hitting level 5 projectile.
