BBCF/Hazama

From Dustloop Wiki

Overview

Overview
Hazama is a unique offensive character with unconventional yet powerful mobility tools that allow him to engage from almost anywhere on the screen. With his stepdash and short normals, Hazama may seem weak at first, however his Drive allows him to fire out a series of chain grappling hooks as an amazing approaching tool with several followups. Pairing the chains with his good frame data on his normals, stance attacks and other specials, Hazama has a variety of tools to pressure and open up any character as he chooses after he gets in. This takes a degree of caution to get started though; he needs to be careful with how he approaches, as his Drive is a limited resource and he lacks defensive tools outside of system mechanics.

Drive: Ouroboros

Named after a snake that eats its own tail, Hazama's Drive is manifested as a stretching chain in the shape of a snake. He can cover many different angles and distances by shooting a Drive move. What's more is that, at any point during the chain's travel, Hazama can follow up by either retracting the chain (~A) or using the snake head as an anchor point to slingshot him around the stage (~B, ~C, or ~D).

Most of the time, if the snake head hits the opponent, you can follow up by zipping in with ~D and linking an air normal to convert into a combo. However, there are certain distances (which differ for each Drive move) where the chain will cause minimal hit or block stun, so you must be careful not to try and hit your opponent with chains up close or in the particular chain's "dead zone".

In order to prevent Hazama being able to fly around indefinitely using his drive and stalling for time, his drive is limited to 2 uses, but can be extended by hitting the opponent or staying on the ground. See Hazama's Frame Data for details on how to manage it.
Overdrive: Jörmungandr
Temporary boss mode.

When Hazama enters Overdrive, the limiter on his chains is released, eliminating the aforementioned "dead zone" and changing all chains to become their far versions and deal double damage. His chain stocks also recovers 3 times faster and is no longer limited by being airborne.

He also gains a life-stealing ring that encompasses a large radius around him, meaning that anybody close to Hazama will have their health slowly leeched away. The life-steal ring does not persist while you are in hitstun (i.e., being combo'd). However, if you use a Distortion Drive or Exceed Accel and run out of Overdrive time during those moves, the ring will remain in effect until the move itself ends.
StartupThe time before an attack is active. Written startup values include the first active frame, so the startup on a frame chart will display one less square than the written value. Frames
Active The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent. Frames
InactiveFrames in the middle of multi-hit attacks which cannot hit the opponent, but are after the move has become active at least once. Frames
Recovery The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking. Frames
Special RecoveryThe recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action.Recovery frames which happen under abnormal conditions, such as after landing. Frames
ProjectileIndicates an entity that exists separately from the character has become active. Usually something like a Fireball A projectile which usually travels slowly across the screen in a horizontal path above the ground.. Active

Fastest normal Hazama has, and jump-cancellable on hit or block. This makes it good for interrupting pressure, as a quick anti-air against deep jump-ins, a confirm, or if you really need a non-committal hitbox in front of you. The priority isn't great though, so be cautious during footsies.

5B, even with its short range, is a very, very good normal. This normal's high frame advantage and great recovery gives Hazama a move that begets exceptionally strong stagger pressure and frametraps, and is also extremely safe against ODR. Landing a Counter Hit with this can link into a second 5B that won't spoil the rest of the combo, making this a solid confirm tool too.

5C has poor horizontal range and a long recovery, but is still a great button to have. It has the lowest proration of any move Hazama has, making it his most rewarding combo starter. On a crouching opponent or on Counter Hit, it combos into 6C, which can grant significant damage increase and corner carry. Has a decently big cancel window, and can gatling into 6C or a delayed 2C on block for a frame trap.

Despite its short range horizontally, its vertical range is actually quite good. This combined with its high reward on hit makes it a useful anti-air in some situations, however beware the recovery on whiff.

2B has good reach relative to its speed, low recovery, and very low profile, making it useful for beating the opponent's pokes. That being said, the range itself is not great, so you'll have to know your spacing. In pressure, it is a very fast low and a good setup for tick throws, making it an essential tool in his mix-up.

This move is good for stagger pressure. Its longer range allows Hazama to tackle an extra hit to frame trap while still having an opportunity to rest pressure compared to 5C, 3C or 236A. It can also punish DP attempts thanks to hitting low.

The high-risk, high-rewarding anti air move. The head invulnerability on this move doesn't kick in until over halfway through its lengthy startup, so at times, you will have to use quicker anti-airs such as 5A.

Since this move has crouching recovery, whiffing this move will lead to very unfavorable positions. On hit, however, it is highly rewarding. On counter-hit, you can cancel into 214D and use a stance follow-up to start a strong combo, or Jakou to side switch.

Also jump-cancellable on block, which can be used for pressure extensions.

6A is a relatively quick overhead with great reward in some situations, that's also difficult to react to in pressure when used alongside low-hitting 6B that has a similar start-up delay. On normal hit, Hazama's frame advantage is ±0 to gamble on resetting pressure, or he can cancel into HoutenjinBBCS Hazama Jayoku Houtenjin.pngGuardAllStartup3+(40 Flash)+1Recovery51Advantage-33 for a full combo. Can link into 2A on Counter Hit for a meterless combo and on taller characters, such as Hakumen and Tager, it can be replaced with 5A.

6A also sees use in some Fatal and Overdrive combo routes thanks to its bonus proration and allowing an OTG extension on air hit, such as in routes like ...air hit 5D~D > whiff j.2C > 66 6A, 5C...

Low attack with significant startup, giving it a built-in high/low mixup with 6A. If an opponent blocks this move, Hazama is +1, leaving them with no effective options aside from blocking and reversals. It's also a Fatal Counter, which gives it an extra threat as a starter. However, the startup will generally leave a gap in pressure on use, so use it sparingly.

Just like 6A, anti-air hits with this move can be highly rewarding, but this is still not a good idea to use as an anti-air.

Hazama throws three daggers to the floor in front of him while hopping backwards a fairly large distance.

This move is used as filler in Hazama's more damaging combos due to floor bounce and massive meter gain on hit. Outside of combo filler, it can create a natural frame trap if you gatling into it off some normals, which can add another layer to Hazama's pressure. 6C is also +1 on block and cancellable into any Drive on hit or block, making attempting this relatively low-risk. Be aware of Barrier however; despite it is a Projectile, you still experience pushback, and will allow them to escape the chain afterwards.

Most OTG chain confirms (such as OTG j.6D) can link into this move if used early enough in a combo. This is slightly character-dependent, but a good combo extender to keep in mind.

Jump-in normal that can be repeated up to 5 times. Okay as an approach sometimes, but especially useful in combos. Better used to keep your opponent from approaching you instead in scrambly situations. Only the first two hits are jump-cancellable; j.Cx2 > jump > j.Cx5 is a key combo piece. (Typically notated as j.C7)

This attack set also functions as an up to quintuple overhead, primarily during low altitude air dashes. This sacrifices damage for added mix-up potential.

Gatling options: j.C, j.D, j.2D, j.4D, j.6D

Normal Version

Not your best chain for neutral. It's range, "Far" version startup, and angles it can cover are all subpar compared to other Drives, so it's often outclassed by chains such as j.D. It's useful as a combo extender and for pressures in some situations, though.


Overdrive Version

Under Overdrive, the hitstun greatly increases regardless of the range, allowing you to rapidly pressuring and change positions. You can now use specials in close distance to develop more mixups, or you can perform a side switch by doing a cap-shaped loop (5D~D > j.2D~D) infinitely.

This chain is good for tricky movement. 2D~D will launch you sky high, and 2D~B will slingshot you from one side of the stage to the other. 2D~C can be used to set up mixups.

This chain is often seen in corner combos when the opponent is high in the air. It is also used in midscreen strings for additional damage and corner carry, such as after 5D~D, you can perform whiff j.2C > 5C > 2D.


Overdrive Version

Under Overdrive, 2D~A has no deadzone, allowing you to cash out more damage by simply doing OTG 5C > 2D~A.

This chain is fairly good. It has longer reach than ground 5D and isn't as fixed as 5D either (i.e. you can use it at different heights). Good for pressing grounded or aerial opponents. Can use to either keep opponents away or go in on them. Since chain follow-ups can be canceled faster now, j.5D~D into another aerial chain like j.6D or j.4D is quite the slick maneuver if you want to close the gap between you and your opponent.

This chain isn't used much in combos, but if you land it on an opponent as a starter, don't be afraid to chain in.

This chain is good for those times that you're really high up in the air and you want to get back on the ground quicker or hit the opponent if they're directly under you. This chain has a deceptively generous horizontal hitbox, letting it hit opponents at angles you wouldn't expect.

This chain is used the least in terms of combos, but just like j.5D, be sure to chain in if you land a good hit.

This chain can be used to catch opponents who are dashing in on you and are close enough to where j.6D would not hit with maximum hitstun or would whiff entirely. It can also be used like j.2D to catch opponents while you are at high altitudes.

An immediate D cancel (j.4DD), which commonly refers as superdash, is an important movement technique that shoots Hazama forward fast.

Also not seen in combos that much, but like j.5D and j.2D, it is a strong potential starter.

Sometimes, it's best not to chain in, especially on block, where your opponent can punish you with an anti-air. Using this follow-up on air chains can open up some interesting mix up opportunities, like baiting bad anti-airs. Also good to use for further harassment at long distances or to play lame when you have a life lead.

In combos, it is a staple follow-up in order to combo into another chain hit or JakouBBCF Hazama 623Dexe.pngGuardBarrierStartup14RecoveryTotal: 55Advantage-.

Do note that this follow-up also costs a stock, unlike in certain previous version; don't play with your chains recklessly when you're in 0 stock. In case you don't want to spend one but still want to cancel the chains (on block only), do j.214B in case of air chains, or 214D in long range, and 236A in close range to return to safety.

Primarily an evasive follow-up, boasting significant projectile invulnerability. Can be used to evade projectiles (save for really large ones like Jin's 632146C) and bait anti-airs. Because of the trajectory, Hazama will end up coming down right on top of the opponent by the end of this follow-up's animation.

  • Counter hit recovery for the entire duration

After a short wait, Hazama launches himself forward extremely quickly and ends up on the other side of the chain, as if he teleported. On hit or block, this chain can be used to appear behind the opponent for cross-ups and to bait anti-airs on opponents who expect D follow-up. Make sure to use this follow-up every once in a while to mix up your opponent.

Note that this move doesn't "teleport" Hazama right after the pause; instead it still goes along the trajectory when moving, making it still susceptible to anti-airs that hit only front.

  • Counter hit recovery for the entire duration

Hazama propels himself straight forward in the direction of the chain very quickly. This is his staple approach/combo chain follow-up; it's very useful for aggressive movement, such as initiating or continuing pressure on block from far chains, and for evasive movement, such as escaping from corners and quickly running from opponents who have Overdrive active (when given the chance).

Used on hit or in combos after Drives to allow Hazama to close distance and follow up with normal chains, some of the most common being 5D~D after 6C and 4/j.8D~D during juggles.

In short midscreen combos, you can use this after 3C to add some significant corner carry at the cost of the oki options you'd get after a closer knockdown, or to do Rekkazan (632146C) to finish off your opponent. In the corner, 3C > Jabaki > dash 5C > ~ can help set up a decent meterless combo.

On counter hit, the untechable increases, and you can follow-up in midscreen with j.6D to catch the slide.

  • Goes into Stance (214D) state after attack

A useful close range pressure maker that on block can force the opponent to play a guessing game with Hazzy and his stance moves that can come afterward. Also an essential combo tool.

Causes a crumple on ground hit and a ground bounce on air hit. After the hit lands, Hazama will enter the stance automatically. For the first 22 frames, Hazama can use normal versions of his Stance specials. After that, Hazama will use the Charged version of his stance moves.

Note that this move is very susceptible to IBs as its main follow-ups are all punishable under IB, so don't be predictable when using this in blockstrings.

It's also notable that, since the Stance is a part of the moves recovery, you can rapid-cancel during it, though this goes away if you dash during the stance.

  • Hits opponents OTG trying to late rise.
  • Frame advantage refers to when you can do a stance followup; assuming an immediate stance cancel, you're -8 on block (which is punishable for most of the casts!).

Hazama's stance special. Gives access to three powerful specials that can be used to either start or extend combos on hit, and a fully invincible super command grab. This creates scary mixup potential that can put the opponent on edge. Unlike Jagai, all follow-ups are always enhanced, and Hazama will gain a green afterimage when he is ready to attack with these. Follow-ups can all be avoided by jumping back and Barrier blocking if you get predictable with your mixups, so remember to vary your pressure.

Can be cancelled into a stance cancel or Orochi BurensouBBCF Hazama stomp1.pngGuardThrow(80)Startup12+(30 Flash)+0Recovery40Advantage- as early as frame 1, further enhancing its potential for pressure. If left uncancelled, though, Hazama is stuck in place for at least 22 frames and is in a counter hit state the entire time.

700 [840] High/Air 18 4 1+11L +1 [+3] H 1~22 F

A forward-moving, relatively fast and low & throw crushing overhead. Resets pressure on block and gives a short combo on hit.


Uncharged

The forward movement is nice because it allows you to do an overhead in places where 6A wouldn't reach, especially if you get pushed out by Barrier blocking. Foot invuln and airborne state lets it beat out lows and throws during pressure, but loses to fast standing attacks and reversals. Easily comboable on CH, and can be followed up on crouching opponents with a 2A. If you don't microdash the 2A, you'll need to have a slightly longer microdash later in the combo for consistency.

Be aware when using in blockstring as there is an 8F gap between Jagai and this, during which you can be hit by any 5A or most Anti-Airs. With Zaneiga (which blows up standing attacks) this is a natural high-low mixup, although it can be jump guarded easily.

Forward Ressenga (66A) covers more range, but it has a minimum 11F gap that enables further counterplay if the opponent can IB, such as poking Hazama out of the startup with j.A.


Charged

When charged, Ressenga gives Hazama even more frame advantage to microdash pressure reset on block and causes a hard knockdown on hit. Frequently used in combos after ground chains, and is also useful as a high-low mixup on okizeme alongside enhanced Zaneiga.

Hazama can combo off of this with an OTG 2B into juggles.

An anti-air rising kick with a large vertical reach. Hazama's normal anti-airs are good, but this one has additional practicality (if he's already in stance) due to its invincibility. Cannot be used on wakeup due to the time it takes for stance attacks to come out.

The normal version of this move is key for converting midscreen meterless strings into extended combos. As a mixup, it beats out any normal attack and throws, but is extremely unsafe on block and can be low-profiled. Use sparingly against opponents that continually disrespect you.

A low option out of stance. Also one of the strongest combo starters/extenders in Hazama's arsenal.


Uncharged

Normal version is the go-to move to end combos midscreen after 214B for oki. Landing a counter-hit with this can net a good combo with or without meter.

In pressure this beats standing attacks, and can clash or even go through certain reversals with proper timing. However it can be easily jumped away, and IBing Jagai will make this punishable by fast attacks and throws. To compensate with IB issue, mix with delayed backward Zaneiga (44C) to blow them up if they keep disrespecting you, or do nothing (D) if they kept DPing.


Charged

Charged version causes the opponent to go into a long air-spin, leading to damaging combos. Good follow-up from CH 3C, throws, or Houtenjin.

Sometimes, it's best not to do anything at all. Stance-cancelling is good if you think your opponent is going to predict your stance mix-up, or if you've been pushed far enough out that your follow-ups will whiff without forward stance dashing. It can also be used to make chains have less recovery on block.

Your sole movement option during stance, which is useful for a variety of reasons. You can use this to position the follow-ups for maximum effectiveness, most notably to forward dash so his super command grab will connect. Follow-ups are available immediately during either version of Serpent's Redemption.

You can dash forward as many times as you like, but can dash backwards only once. If done from Jagai, the time until you're able to use charged versions of the follow-ups still continues. This means that dashing backwards from Jagai isn't completely the end of your pressure, as you'll eventually be able to use a charged Ressenga to put yourself back in the opponent's face if they don't move away.

A special anti-air chain that catches opponents and flings them behind Hazama. Cannot hit grounded opponents at all, and must be Barrier blocked. Very risky as an anti-air, though it has some niche applications such as if  Mai is charging a spear in the air. Its true calling is as a combo piece; it's a great way to change positioning during a combo due to the side switch, tacks on a good deal of damage, and lets Hazama confirm into his combo ender super.

If close to the corner, but not close enough to trigger the wallbounce, you can combo after this by RCing the second hit then following up with j.6D~D. On corner wallbounce, many things can be linked afterwards though most of the time it's safer just to OTG 5C into some ender. Hazama can also cancel into Eternal Coils of the Dragon Serpent (632146C) easier after chain is almost retracted.

An aerial spike that sends Hazama straight down to the ground. Not an overhead, but ground bounces on CH, giving it some pressure applications. Primarily used to end air combos, but can be used to get Hazama down from the air without wasting a chain stock, or can even be used in mixups and feints due to its unique whiff recovery property.

On whiff, the recovery is cancelable into anything except blocking, jumping and backdash, starting five frames after Hazama lands on the ground. This means that this move is punishable by some fast, far-range attacks, such as  Ragna's Carnage ScissorsBBCF Ragna the Bloodedge 632146D.pngGuardAllStartup9+(40 Flash)+4~12Recovery58Advantage-43 [-40]. To go around this, you can cancel it into forward walk, then block; this effectively bypasses the recovery entirely, since walking has no recovery/startup.

Never use this to hit an opponent who is directly below you in neutral; Hazama's leg has a massive hurtbox, meaning most attacks can hit you out of this. If you managed to tag them with a j2D, though, Jameijin is a potential followup.

A command grab that launches opponent into the air directly in front of Hazama. It's hard to raw tick throw with due to the slow startup and you aren't going to get huge damage from this most of the time it does, but is still a good tool on offense due to the fact that it blows up most reversal throws and Barrier OS. The main follow-up on hit is dash 5B or 5C into 2D and more chain extensions.

Most common guesses to chain into is the same as how you do tick throw, such as after 5A, 2A or 2B. All tick throw options will be greatly affected by Barrier, which makes it harder to land due to longer startup. But with 50 meter, 214B (point blank) > RC > 236C as an Okizeme option is very hard to react to and Barrier will not help them (but they can fuzzy jump out, of course).

  • 20% Minimum damage: 390 [420]. You probably aren't using this for minimum damage.
  • Forces Fatal Counter on Counter Hit, but it is a Normal starter so cashing out more on FC is impossible.

The famous Houtenjin move; Hazama kicks the opponent sky high, giving him enough time to secure his hat, recover, and follow up with just about any combo extension he wants once they fall back down. One of the fastest moves in the game as well, faster than even the fastest jabs and throws. As you might expect, this move is horrible when blocked, making it something that you should not over-use to get out of bad situations.


Normal Version

Not an invincible reversal, despite its appearance. Due to its speed, it can still take advantage of gaps in opponents pressure or punish otherwise safe moves, though this largely depends on the gap in the blockstring, the type of blocking used, etc. For this reason, it's valuable for Hazama to lab out gaps in common pressure strings to know where he can Houtenjin or create a gap to Houtenjin with IB to score strong punishes where the opponent may not expect. Outside of that, its also the main way to get reward off normal hit 6A or 6B, and if used off the right combo starter (such as 5C or 3C), you can land damage anywhere between 4~5K.

Houtenjin is also technically airborne for roughly 15~20 of its recovery frames, however this isn't of much use.

If you inputted the motion fast enough or carrying with a dash momentum (2362366B for example) beforehand, Hazama will slide for a distance before performing the kick. This allows new combo opportunities, as well as an even more threatening range for the reversal.


Overdrive Version

In Overdrive, this move is now invincible on startup but still vulnerable once it goes active, so it's prone to trades. Given the nature of the move, basically all trades are in your favour anyway and some trades with low level moves give you even more advantage to use in your combo videos. Have fun.

As a wake-up reversal, you can check whether if they have attacked during the startup of your Overdrive, and if not then you can hold your meter until they have a gap you can reversal out.

Combo ender. Spawns a projectile at the floor underneath the opponent; if it hits, Hazama pulls them in and slices them into confetti. The projectile has a minimum range and can spawn offscreen. In Overdrive, it will spawn at the edge of the screen if it would otherwise spawn beyond that.


Normal Version

Since it is projectile invulnerable, it can be used during neutral to punish projectile moves from far ranges. During combos you'll generally use this after 623D since it positions them nicely for it, and it can be super canceled into.

If you Rapid Cancel at the right time, you can regain control of Hazama with the opponent still stuck in the coils. Not the most meter-efficient setup; use only if you're going to win the round with the next hit and you feel like being an ass. This shenaniganry, however, becomes a prudent strategy when considering burst economy; Eternal Coils can only kill an opponent on the final hit. If you can Rapid Cancel and kill sooner than that, you should do that in order to prevent refilling your opponent's burst gaugeFull sequence is around 12~20% Burst fill, depend on combo. Also it looks cool to do so and, come on... you're playing Hazama.

Much as one might be tempted to try to punish close-range projectile oki with this super, it is not advisable. Unless your opponent is in a non-invincible, long animation, there is a strong chance they will recover in time to block. And we all know what happens when you block Hazama's supers. Additionally, Eternal Coils has a MINIMUM range, meaning there must be at least so much distance between Hazama and his opponent's furthest hurtbox edge before it will hit. If they are within that range, it will simply whiff. This can be circumvented with some moves that extend the opponent's hurtbox backwards, such as 3C, but this is not particularly useful outside of combos.

Finally, keep in mind Eternal Coils' utility as an "Anti-Air," that is to say: Eternal Coils is not a command throw as some believe. It has a surprisingly tall hitbox, roughly the height of Hazama himself. If someone is using a projectile attack in the air, or is otherwise incapable of blocking/avoiding a projectile while at this low altitude, it is not a bad idea for punishing them for there carelessness with Eternal Coils. It is not necessarily the most impactful usage of the super, as meter is VERY valuable to Hazama, but it's a good reminder to respect the options you have in neutral situations.


Overdrive Version

OD version is even better for ending combos, tacking on huge damage along with Hazama's OD life drain ring stealing health until the end of the animation, even if Overdrive expires during it. Use when you need to anti-burst, or to deal more to close out the round.

Hazama's super command grab.


Normal Version

It's invulnerable through its active frames and does some pretty good damage. Since it is active immediately after superflash, meaning your opponent cannot jump in response to the superflash.

This move makes stance forward dash very threatening and opens up more mix-up potential to really crumble your opponent. Since it can come out on the first frame of stance, you can also use this as a handy situational reversal, best vs safejumps leaving the opponent point blank.

Due to the game's input leniency, 63214D6D or 632146DD registers as a proper input for stance activation into immediate Burensou. This makes quick command grabs in pressure easier to utilize consistently. The former shortcut is a little bit more reliable than the latter shortcut as it allows for fewer accidental inputs such as Hungry Coils or 6D to be executed. That said, it still requires very quick movements and is thus still prone to mistakes.


Overdrive Version

During Overdrive it deals more damage, and heals Hazama significantly. The animation also gets longer in OD, allowing his life-steal ring to do more work.

  • 100% Minimum damage: 2553 [3009]
  • With lifesteal, the minimum damage in OD goes up to at least 4149, with Hazama recovering at least 1425 health. This will kill all opponents in the red health range.

Your Exceed Accel, giving Hazama another reversal option.

Swaps sides on hit, and the life-steal ring remains active until the animation ends, letting you drain a lot of health. Otherwise behaves the same as every other Exceed Accel. Has good range and is the only meterless reversal Hazama has, and is the most damaging Exceed Accel bar none due to the added lifesteal. However, you're usually better off not using it and staying in Overdrive instead, both due to the strength of Hazama's Overdrive and because OD Houtenjin is a far more rewarding reversal.

  • Attack itself does 280/594 Minimum Damage, but the lifedrain ring can add an extra 160~220 damage.

Damage GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead. StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame. ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame. RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles. Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked. On ODRThe difference between the attacker's total animation length and the period the opponent is in overdrive raid. This frame advantage is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame.

A situationally comboable astral, with a common conversion being after air throw. It's also got a lot of invulnerability, so it can be used against very slow moves, during superflash, or other times where you can throw this out on reaction. This can also be combo'd into after a far 2D hit, which also helps you complete first part of the Astral motion if you input it as 1D.
