Special Moves

Niragu Daichi: (close) hcf + A/C

• slower startup command grab with invincible startup.

• on a successful grab it launches the opponent high up into the air putting them in a juggleable state. If you let them fall to the ground they will take damage and be put into a hard knockdown state.

• This move is the basis for Orochi Yashiros setups and resets making it his most dangerous mixup tool.

• Can be used to go through guard cancel CDs or counter moves.

Musebu Daichi: (close) hcb, f + A/C

• 1f command grab that slams the opponent to the ground repeteadly and leaves them in a backturned hard knockdown state.

• good mixup tool due to it's speed and also your main meterless combo ender.

• very punishable on whiff.

Odoru Daichi: hcf + B/D

• a forwards moving command grab.

• has low invincibility during the majority of the startup frames but not at the beginning.

• risky move to use due to it's long startup speed.

• D version can be used as a tick throw when cancelled from light normals.

• good to buffer when poking with cr.C.

Kujiki Daichi: qcb + A/C

• a jumping command grab.

• on hit it sideswitches O.Yashiro and gives him enough time to connect a cl.C/D into a full combo.

• Very risky move due to its large amount of startup frames and how telegraphed the jumping part is.

• can be beaten by an anti airs or by jumping/hopping.

• newer players will get hit a lot by this but good opponents will punish it pretty much every time due to how much time there is to react to it.

• a 1f command grab.

Araburu Daichi: (close) qcf, qcf + B/D

• a super version of his jumping command grab.

• it's faster and goes further than the regular version of his jumping grab.

• it still has the problem of his regular jumping command grab as this super has a superflash that can let the opponent react to it easier when done in neutral.

• Max version does more damage.

• Causes a backturned hard knockdown.

Hoeru Diachi: (close) qcf, qcf + A/C

• a long ranged projectile punch that goes full screen.
