------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Movelist:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NORMALS:

Standing:

LP: (FAR) Probably his safest poke. Covers a good amount
of space in front of him with his Katana. Still a little slow on
recovery for a light attack. The damage is small and this
move is open to GCS attempts. (CLOSE) A short cancellable
jab that repeats into itself and is good for combos. Small
damage but safe none-the-less and good for tick-throws.

LK: (FAR) Long-range poke with his Katana. Decent poke,
still open to GCS attempts but for a poke this as safe of a
poke as it gets or whatever you understand. Okay for a
footsie game. (CLOSE) A quick cancelable elbow attack.
Good for combos and safe if blocked. Used for same
things as close LP.

HP: (FAR) Lots of range, damage and guard damage.
Would be good if it weren't for that horrible recovery. If
you're going to commit to this move make sure it hits,
otherwise, you're open for punishment or a GCS. Best
used at max range but covers a large area in front of him.
(CLOSE) A 2 hit Katana attack with the first hit being a
cancelable. Good for combos, damage and guard damage
but unsafe if blocked.

HK: (FAR/CLOSE) Same animation for both range. A 3 hit
kick. From far range only the last hit will probably connect.
No use from max range, only close range. Second hit is a
cancelable and good for verifying combos. Good damage
and okay guard, even though the first hit goes straight up,
do not mistake it for an anti-air at all!


Crouching:

LP: Very similiar to standing close LP which is a short range
jab. Fast and chains into self, a flexible opening for combos
or can be used for tick-throws. Little to no range.

LK: A good low slash that's a passable poke. A bit slow on
recovery making it open to GCS attempts and okay for footsie
games.

HP: Very similiar to standing far HP aspect. Big damage and
guard and covers a large portion in front of Genjyuro. Lots
of recovery and unsafe if blocked however standing far HP
has a little bit more range.

HK: Strangely enough, this attack doesn't knock down and
opponents can block it high or low. Not cancellable, okay
range, damage. Overall this move has little to nothing to
offer, has average size hit-box to it though.


Jumping:

LP: A quick jab, passable air-to-air attack. Comes out fast
and stays out for the entire arc of the jump. This is best
jumping attack for tick-throws. Same animation for jumping
diagonal.

LK: A straight forward slash. Good for zoning in the air and
a great air-to-air attack. Not the best jump-in attack since it
hits straight forward. Little damage and stays out for the
entire arc of the jump.

HP: This attack has great priority, range, damage and guard.
Covers a good portion of space in front of him making it good
for zoning. The diagonal version a low-angle slash that has
good priority and damage. Best jump-in for combos.

HK: A straight forward kick attack. Good damage, range and
priority but do to it's slow startup, LP or LK is better suited
for vertical jump air-to-air attacks and HP is a better jump-in
for combos.


Command:

Adverse Wind: DF + HP:
Genjyuro swipes his Katana in an upward slash that works as
an anti-air. In addition, this move is cancelable. If it hits as anti-
air, you cancel it into Divine Fang Thrust for an unblockable.
An LP Triple Demise to get back in close for a throw or combo
or an HP Triple Demise to move behind them for a free mixup.
The safest option is to cancel into an LP Cherry Blossom Slice
so they will be forced to block when they land, quick recovered
or not. The Divine Fang Thrust is risky because they can quick
recover but if they don't and if you don't hold the button down,
then this will be the best setup for the unblockable.

Hem Frayer: F + HK:
A cancellable sweep that hits low and knocks down. Passable
setup for a Divine Fang Thrust, however the Hem Frayer is a
close-range attack so this is not a safe setup. A better mixup
to go for is cancel it into an LP Triple Demise so you will pass
underneath them and cross the opponent up, then do a
crouching LP, Triple Demise. The opponent's back will be
facing you so the LP one will hit from the back and the HP
from the front. Very confusing for the opponent. In addition,
the crouching LP is a timing device (must whiff) or you can
dash up HK (2 hits) and combo them after the crossup or you
can keep it safe and after crossing them up throw a Cherry
Blossom Slice.



SPECIAL MOVES:
Cherry Blossom Slice: QCB + P:
Genjyuro's projectile as he swings his sword and a card comes
out. Used for spacing and on waking up opponents but too
slow to be used in combos and it's good to use after you land
a throw. An LP version will hit them just as they get up from a
throw. This way Genjyuro keeps his opponent locked down.
Best used at max range, does okay damage but very little to no
guard and chip damage. If it hits on a counter against a jumping
cornered opponent, then you can juggle with a Paulownia
Smasher Lighting Wings, Reverse 5 Flashes or Frenzy of
Rage. The HP version travels much faster.

Paulownia Smasher Lighting Wings: F, D, DF + P:
A versatile move as Genyuro swings his sword into the air.
Goodfor ending combos, anti-air, reversal, defensive attack
that knocks down and has a slight window of invulnerability.
LP version is safest as the HP version travels further and
higher but suffers from bad recovery so resort to the LP
version except for combos but if the move hits out of range,
then you'll get 1 hit off and no knockdown.

Death of 100 Demons - QCB, F + P:
Genyuro slashes forward several times until one hits and
stabs the opponent for a throw-type attack but it can be
blocked. Does some guard damage but not as much has
you'd think. Comboable and the HP version stays out
longer but easily suspectible to GCS attempts.

Crescent Moon Laceration: F, D, DF + K (close only):
Genjyuro's command throw which can be comboed into and
leaves the opponent in a juggle state. If you have the level,
go for a super, otherwise the best follow-up's are Lighting
Wings or Frenzy of Rage. Good attack for him since it gives
a high damage option off a throw attack. In addition, there is
no whiff animation and the startup is almost instant. Stick to
the LK version since there's more recovery time on the HK
version, making it harder to land an extra hit none-the-less
it is still possible just more difficult.

Triple Demise: QCF + P x3:
Genjyuro slides forward with a slash that can be done multiple
times for a 3 hit combo. The LP version comes out fast and can
be comboed, however the HP version cannot and comes out
slower. But instead, he will slide behind them and slash them
forcing the oppoent to block the opposite direction. It is
possible for the first hit to connect and the last hits to be
blocked if you're not quick enough. In addition, if the first hit
is blocked, then you cannot continue the next two. The move
is greatly used for combos. This move is espcially useful after
his Hem Frayer or Adverse Wind or if you land a throw. The
opponent will be backwards so then you can go for a Triple
Demise and force them to guess rather to block from the front
or back. It is possible to cancel into HP version for a mixup
game to make them block from one way to another but this
can be risky. Also punishable if blocked and if the last hit is
blocked, you're open for GCS attempts. In the case that the
first hit connects and the second is blocked, then stop there
and do go for the third hit. Still punishable but not as risky
though.

Divine Fang Thrust: QCB + K (hold K to delay):
Genjyuro charges up and thrusts forward for a very powerful
unblockable stab. Lots of range but suffers from extreme bits
of recovery time. Guarantees a knockdown and dishes out
some good damage but it suffers from no decent setup's
outside of a knockdown. Adverse Wind is the best since it
will knock the oppoent to the other side a good distance.
Hem Frayer is also possible but extremely dangerous. Since
he's in close-range, he's open for the well known wake-up
reversals, so stay away from this move. Use it sparingly,
safest from max range, the long startup renders him from
defending himself properly and holding the button down
will not increase the damage output.



SUPER COMBOS:
Reverse 5 Slashes: QCF x2 + P:
This is Genjyuro's only super as he does a Paulownia
Smasher Lighting Wing that leads to 4 other slashes with
the cards spreaded out and split in the middle. The first hit
has a large hitbox so it can catch jumping opponents. Good
damage and knocks down but suspectible to GCS attempts
if blocked. Can be comboed from his standing HK (2 hits)
or Crescent Moon Laceration. If you have the bar and they
block the super and dont GCS, you can go for another super
in case they throw something out then you can catch them
in a super.



EXCEED:
Frenzy of Rage: LP + LK + HP:
Gen performs a quick slash that resembles the Lighting Wings.
Very quick on startup and recovery and can be used as an anti-
air and in combos which does average damage and a knock-
down. This activation attack leaves Genjyuro a strength boost
for about 10 seconds and gives him the ability to perform Flash
Finale.
-Flash Finale: LK + HP + HK (during Frenzy of Rage):
You can perform this move while he's still red. He slides forward
for a powerful slash attack which knocks down but it's slow, so
it can only be comboed off of hard attacks. It can be comboed
after a command throw in the corner but this is very insuffcient.
Does a good amount of chip damage. If blocked, Genjyuro recoils
back but is still open for GCS attempts. Both Exceeds have some
invulnerability on startup and Flash Finale is good for going
through projectiles.
*NOTE: Frenzy of Rage carries over to the next round if your time
did not end last round and if you dont perform Flash Finale then
you can Frenzy of Rage again but when you do DO Flash Finale
then you can't use another exceed.

*Max Mode combo

-crouching LK, since now he can combo off of a low attack and go
for a max combo or from a max range HP further making it better or
cancelling it to a Cherry Blossom Slice or command throw to stay
safe from a possible GCS attempt and it gives him the ability to
start a max mdoe combo from big damaging long range attack
*Max mode combo
