Info_Bar_01.png

Relius Clover, one of the more technical characters to pick up and learn the game with. His combos aren't too difficult and require an average level of execution at best, however utilizing his drive and managing Ignis's meter is where the real challenge lies. If you want to play a character with many tools to control the flow of a match and the combo potential of a mad scientist you picked the right character.

Health: 11,000

Guard Primers: 5

Dash Type: Character

Combo Rate: 80

Drive: Detonator - Summons Ignis giving Relius access to many tools to pressure and trap the opponent with.

Primer Breaking moves: 214D, 214C, j214B, 236D, and 236236D.

Fatal Counter moves: 2C and 6C

Strengths:

  • Good neutral tools.
  • OK pressure/mixup/oki with Ignis activated.
  • Good damage and corner carry.

    Weaknesses:

    • Relies on Ignis for pressure/mixup/damage AND oki, so good meter management is a must have.
    • In a way you are limited in your offense.
    • Needs a strong neutral game to be effective.

    Standing jab. Whiffs on all characters crouching hitbox except for Tager. Used mostly as combo filler. Can combo into every normal. Same proration as his 2A. Not very effective as a pressure tool because of vertical reach and slightly slower startup than most of the characters. Throw cancelable.

    Relius's main poke to start combos and pressure with. Has a large amount of priority due to its range, hitbox, and startup. Extends his hitbox on the last active frame. Being it has a farther horizontal hitbox than the majority of his moves you have less options for followup at max range.

    Staple crouching jab. Hits mid. Slower than his 5A by 1F but faster in recovery by 1F. Same startup speed as the majority of the cast. Throw cancelable. The +1 frame advantage as well as the ability to cancel into a throw makes this move a dangerous pressure tool when used correctly. The proration on this won't really mess up your combo route, but it will hurt the damage.

    Relius's only ground overhead that doesn't use Ignis. Doesn't gatling into any other normals. Can only special cancel into Id Lauger (236C), supers, astral or use Ignis D normals to followup. Forces crouch on ground hit. Pulls opponent in on hit. The particular overhead is one of the slowest and easy to to see overheads in the game. It will work in certain situations using Ignis to distract or to setup a frame trap with. Common followup is 6D, 2D, or Id Lauger (236C).

Ignis is summoned above Relius and performs a diving overhead drill attack. Not much use since it launches on hit and is very slow. Removes a primer.

Ignis is summoned in front of Relius and performs a downward drill attack a lot like the j236C > j214B followup, only this doesn't track the opponent. Last hit removes a primer. No real use other than to cover yourself while falling towards the opponent or stop your momentum.

Relius summons a number of gears from the ground and creates a field that hits the opponent in place. Invulnerable on startup so it can be used as a reversal, but it is unsafe on block. Active hitbox doesn't have much height so the opponent can bait the reversal with a safe jump. Does very little damage. Relius can move and perform moves while the distortion is active. 1~10F is fully invincible. Projectile property. 25% minimum damage. 370F heat gain cooldown. Hitting with 1st attack will initiate the rest of the attacks. 31F hitstop.

Ignis is summoned behind Relius and Performs a large punch that, when hits, puts to opponent into a black ball and then blows them away. Fast startup, good damage, and your main super to put onto the end of combos. 8~22F is fully invincible. 180F heat gain cooldown. 1st attack has 20% minimum damage, 2nd attack 35% minimum damage giving a base minimum of 1035 damage. Causes opponent to slide backwards on hit. Ignis has super armor throughout animation. Startup of move depends on how far away opponent is from Ignis (max 7+12). Ignis's total duration lasts till 36F after startup. Ignis disappears if hit. Uses 1000 gauge.

Exactly like Carl's Tsuioko no Rhapsody distortion. Ignis advances forward while punching. Relius can move freely while this distortion is active. Good for mixup/pressure but the proration is bad. Very easy to full screen corner carry someone by dashing behind Ignis advancing her forward. First hit removes a primer. Fully invincible through superflash. Ignis has super armor throughout animation. 20% minimum damage. 430F heat gain cooldown. Ignis is guaranteed to attack after superflash. Hitstuns: 8th attack = 30F, 9th attack = 36F, 10th and 11th attacks = 45F. Active frames: 3(12)3(12)3(9)3(12)3(12)3(12)6(9)6(13)5(26)5(38)6. 11th attack has 21F hitstop. Ignis's total duration is 440F. Uses 1500 gauge.

Relius's astral that has a different ending animation depending on the character. Can be combo'd into from the majority of his normals. With no Ignis cost you can easily add it in to the end of a long combo if you meet all the other requirements. 1F~43F after superflash is fully invincible. Heat Gauge is used up on superflash. Ignis has super armor throughout the animation.

3A.) Basics

[table=width: 1000, align: left]

Inputting 5D or j.D will summon Ignis, putting her behind Relius in a idle state. Ignis will follow closely behind Relius even when he is in the air. While Ignis is idle you can input a direction+D to make her attack with moves normally not available when she isn't summoned out. If you already did a move before the input she'll do the attack from that position instead of from behind Relius. She returns behind Relius pretty quickly after a move has been preformed. Pressing 5D or j.D while she is out will dismiss her. Special moves that use Ignis will automatically summon her but for a cost if she isn't out.
Ignis_Idle.png

[/table]


3B.) Gauge

[table=width: 1000, align: left]

When Ignis is summoned, despite apparently being in a standby state, her gauge will slowly start depleting. Each attack she does will consume a set amount of her gauge. If she isn't out when a special move is inputted it'll increase the cost of that move up to almost three times it's normal cost. While Ignis is idle, inputting 5D or j.D will dismiss her and her gauge will gradually recover. If Relius gets hurt she will dismiss and go into a state of slower gauge regeneration. Blocking during any of her moves, except for supers, will stop the move and cause her to return back to being idle behind Relius (unless you used up all of her gauge in the process). No changes to her regeneration state for blocking a attack. If she enters that state, noticeable by a aqua color gauge, you can restore her to normal regeneration state by summoning and dismissing her. If Ignis is hit during her attacks, except for 2D and 236236D, she'll just dismiss and go into slow regeneration status.

3C.) Super Armor

[table=width: 1000, align: left]

All of Ignis's attacks have projectile armor for the full duration of it's animation. Two of Ignis's moves have super armor during their full duration. 2D and Duo Bios (236236D). At close range 2D puts Relius in range of getting hit, but if you put 2D after Val Lanto (214A) or another one of her distancing attacks you can setup a great entry cause of the super armor and long hitstun/blockstun of 2D. Duo Bios (236236D), like his son Carl's distortion drive Tsuioko no Rhapsody, has many great uses of it's super armor. It can be used as a reversal in some situations, but the most common use of it is getting through the opponents attacks and forcing them to block. Once you have them blocking you are free to crossup/mixup and carry them into the corner for punishment.

3D.) Management

With how easy Relius combos are the main ability that separates players skill apart is their Ignis Meter management. Failing to manage it will easily make a match harder on you or cost you the match. If you follow some general rules with Relius you can keep your meter in line and make your game much better.
  • If a opening is available and Ignis meter is high summon her out instead of force summoning her with a special.
  • If she gets dismissed from you getting hit, summon and dismiss her the next opening you get so that her regeneration goes back to normal instead of trying to restore under slow regeneration status.
  • Pay attention to her current amount during your combos to see if you need to end the combo early with a possible oki/reset setup so that she doesn't break down.
  • After long corner combos, if her meter is very low, use Req Vinum (632146C) and dismiss her so that you can keep pressure while she restores fast.
  • All mid-screen combos should be the most meter optimal ones possible, save your meter for the corner or to get in.

4C.) Pressure, Oki, and Mix-up

Pressure/Mixup:



  • St1ckBug said it best, so I give you his exact words:

It's very important to understand that with Relius (and fighting games in general), most of the time you will be taking risks to mix someone up during pressure. It is important to realize that there is usually and answer to get out of every situation. For Relius this is true for all of his mix-up. You will be leaving gaps in your pressure in order to do high/low and side-swap. The reason this needs to be understood is because there is no 1 mix-up with Relius that will be safe. There will be times when you take a risk and it doesn't work out in your favor. Get over it. Do not try and break down the game so much that you're theory fighting with yourself. Know what your options are, cycle through them in a way you feel comfortable with, and depending on who you're playing against choose your options that you feel suits the situation. It's important to test your options in pressure and know in advanced what beats them.

Things you should always test pressure/mixup against:

-Mashing
-IB Reversal/DP/Super
-Chicken Blocking (holding up back)
-Backdash
-Character specifics

Take this opportunity to make yourself a smarter and better player. Fighting games are full of double-blind situations, random guessing, and sometimes illogical decisions. Shit happens. Try not to dwell on negative outcomes too much. Understand that there are answers to your options. Plan ahead. If something happens for the first time during a match and you lose then remember what happened and try to find an answer to it later. This is what good players do and it's not difficult! This is why we have practice mode!

With that being said there are a lot of ways you can branch out Relius pressure and mix-up. Most of the time you will be starting your pressure with the neutral pokes used for approaching listed above. From there you will branch out into whatever option you feel like running at the moment. Before you make your decision you should be conscious of your opponents meter and burst. A general blockstring would be something like this:

5B > 6D > 5B > 3C > 2D > Jump > Low Airdash jB > jC or land 2B

This is very simple and straight forward high/low mixup that is tight for the most part. If the airdash jB > jC is done to late you will be open to get hit. If you do the land 2B then you will also be open to get hit. It's important to note here that if the opponent gets hit by 3C then the 2D will combo and you will be able to land after your jump and do 6B > air combo. This is what we call an auto-hitconfirm: it covers both pressure and is very easy to hitconfirm.

This is just an example of what you can do. It's up to you to come up with ideas and test them out yourself. Know what works and what doesn't. You want pressure and mix-up options that can beat options the list above. Run your option you feel will work and understand the risk that comes with it.

Oki:

Relius has a lot of Oki options that, when combined, can cover almost all of your opponents options when getting up. Most of the time you want to end with j214B mid-screen and 3C in the corner.

Mid-screen after j236C > j214B

[*]dash 5B (beats tech roll forward)

[*]doll 6D (beats tech roll back but will not meaty)

[*]doll 2D (keeps them in place after neutral tech and beats mashing)

[*]Flying jA or 4D can keep them in place after jumping, but nothing will 100% beat jump

Corner after 4D:

[*]Walk back 3C > Neutral Jump Un-summon > falling jC (Beats forward roll out of the corner and at the right distances will safe-jump reversals. With forward jump you can meaty jC but it will lose to reversals.)

[*]Walk forward into the corner 3C > 214C (Beats back roll out of the corner but late neutral tech will dodge 214C.)

[*]Walk forward into the corner 214C > dash 236A or jump over (Really good ambiguous cross-up, destroys inputs and Relius cannot be thrown, loses to late neutral tech and roll out of the corner.)

[*]3C > 236C > 214C (Pushes you away from the corner at a distance that makes you safe against reversals and beats forward tech out of the corner. Good for baiting counter-assaults and bursts as well. Against Ragna/Tager/Hakumen you can hit them with a rising jC and the 214C will combo.)

(Oki setups courtesy of St1ckBug)

4D.) Gimmicks and Resets

[*]After a Vol Tedo (632146D) mid-screen, do a Val Lyra (214B) to get a easy followup hit on the opponent's wakeup as Ignis will be hidden off the screen.

[*]During a Id Naiads (j.236C > j.214B) if you land early enough you can air throw them while they are still getting hit.

[*]During the final hits of Duo Bios (236236D) you can forward throw for a easy green throw.

[*]During blockstrings, after a 2D, dash and delay a forward throw for a easy green throw setup.

[*]During Duo Bios (236236D) mid-screen do extra attacks to break the hitstun, forcing the person to block and give you a chance to setup a mixup for more damage than you would of got off of the normal Duo Bios (236236D) followup.

5B.) Unlimited Relius Changes

Ignis always starts out with you, and doesn't consume meter while idle.


Faster Ignis Meter regeneration.
Can do 214B followup after 236C on ground. Normally it's air only.
Can TK j.214B.
j.B now causes ground bounce.
2141236C New DD which has a gear sphere go fast forward like Venom's Dark Angel.
2141236D New DD which is a super version of Ignis's 214C special.
j.C is Jump Cancelable
j.C can gatling to j.B
6C has longer hitstun
