Gameplay Overview
Hwa Jai is an extremely offensively oriented character. If played properly he should cause opponents to be constantly alert and afraid, since he has a tool to punish every single option in the game. Essentially Hwa is the single scariest character in the game when it comes to cracking defenses and landing hits against turtles. He is actually one of the hardest characters to use well, but the rewards are very obvious to those willing to practice with him for a long time. His Drink Pink mode makes him able to combo for absurd damage from anywhere, but he has to power up several times per round.
Gameplay Notes
Pros
- Highest damage non-HD combos in the entire game.
- Good meter-less combos.
- Very quick meter building.
- Can kill with just a 2 meter HD combo.
- Incredible offensive rush down game.
- Can juggle/punish extremely well.
- Very strong poke game both ground-based and air-to-air.
- Invulnerable 3/4 screen clearing shoryu which can lead to over 800 damage from anywhere at the cost of only 1 drive.
- Has an extremely high damage 0 frame grab DM.
- Cannot be zoned when drunk or has 1 meter.
- Strong anywhere in the stage, but even stronger in the corner.
- Can start extremely high damage combos from jump-ins, lows, frametraps, crossups, mid-range pokes and even trades.
Cons
- Needs to drink every 15 seconds, often two or more times per round.
- Can be zoned effectively when he has 0 meter and is not drunk.
- Jump-in normals have extremely low hitstun, meaning that they have to be done very late to combo after them, meaning Hwa is very susceptible to anti-air normals.
- Without at least 1 Drive Cancel his damage becomes merely average.
- Requires meter to power up with Drink Pink.
