AUREDO

[CSE] Litchi vs Hakumen

Recommended Posts

Don't Kokushi him unless he has no way of hitting D at any point during it.

Hakumen gets meter for nothing, but the good part is that most Hakumens make mistakes and rely on you to body yourself anyways, despite amazing meter advantages and damage.

I let Hakumen body himself. While opening you up can result in major damage, he's not a scary as Rach/Plat/Bang/Valk.

Quoting LK:

hakumen - even, he can kill you in 2-3 combos and has ridiculous corner carry, but you do too. in neutral youre even, good use of itsuu, 6b, 5b aa, and 3c will keep him on his toes, your 6a hits him crouching and you have a bunch of mixup tools that you can use to stay in on him

In general - be very careful how you approach and attack Hakumen. One mistake is big damage, and in general, just treat him like he's Tager. Keep him out of Litchi's Danger zone so he can't use j.c or j.b on you, beware his 3c and other starters, and just poke the shit out of him until you feel like you can open him up safely.

Hakumen can get really bullish once he has meter. He'll burn it to be up on you, and if you use the wrong staff normal you're gonna whiff on him and get hurt.

Good news is you can guard point a lot of his stuff.

TL:DR: "Tager with an airdash."
