Overview

Servant of the Mutsuki Family and a captain of the Novus Orbis Librarium: Hibiki is Kagura's secretary and right hand, who is highly skilled in the art of silent assassination and stealth. In terms of strength; he is on par with the likes of Jin and Tager, being able to appear behind their backs undetected until he was too close; Jin even goes as far as to commend Hibiki's abilities.

Drive: Double Chase

Hibiki's drive allows him to summon clones of himself in various directions, or, place himself in the current location of a clone. The clones can be hit, but Hibiki will not receive any damage. 5D summons a clone directly in front of Hibiki towards the opponent, while 6D puts Hibiki in the location of that clone. 2D summons a clone underground that will perform a rising attack after traveling towards the opponent, and 3D will put him in that location. J.D summons a clone forward in the air (j.6D puts him in that location), while j.2D summons a clone diagonally downwards (and j.3D will put him in that location). Hibiki's clones can serve a multititude of purposes such as: in blockstrings, using them to travel the screen, in combos, and to zone out the opponent. These are just a few of the many applications of clones.

Overdrive: Schwarz Reis

Hibiki's Overdrive accelerates the speed of his clones, allowing access to new combo routes and enhanced zoning.

Pros/Strengths

• Great damage output in Overdrive mode
• Plentiful mobility options between clones and teleports
• Can control space with clones effectively
• Has many anti-zoner tools

Cons/Weaknesses

• Pressure can be pushed out easily with barrier
• Short ranged normals
• Mix-up options are limited and slightly gimmicky
• Anti airing can be difficult due to the angle of 2C

Normal Moves

5A

5A	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - All - - - - - - Mostly just used in pressure. It doesn't have much reach so it isn't very good for getting out of an opponent's pressure.

5B

5B	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - List what the move is used for List interesting properties in bullet points like invul, floating opponents on CH, etc. Follow the Help:Writing_Character_Pages guidelines

2A	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - List what the move is used for List interesting properties in bullet points like invul, floating opponents on CH, etc. Follow the Help:Writing_Character_Pages guidelines

2B

2B	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Good for catching no techs Mostly used as a combo piece but in instances where you need to catch people not neutral teching right away, you can do dash 2B for your oki to pick them up for a quick blue beat combo.

2BB

2BB	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Mostly just used as a combo piece but there is a good mixup setup where you dash 2BB as a cross under when an opponent neutral techs for a left/right mixup.

2C

2C	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Good anti-air Hibiki's anti-air. It doesn't have much vertical reach but it does a good job of shrinking Hibiki's hurtbox down below the attacks hitbox.

6A

6A

Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Sometimes good for resetting pressure Staggers on CH 6A is mostly used as a combo piece. In particular, in combo routes where you don't want to go into an air juggle just yet from 6BB, you can cancel into 6A to knock the opponent down and then OTG him. It's also + on block and can be used to reset pressure. Unfortunately, 6A doesn't really pull Hibiki forward or bring the opponent closer. This makes it somewhat hard to do midscreen so your best bet for using it to reset pressure is in corner blockstrings.

6B

6B	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Has a small window of throw invuln Mostly just used in combos. It has a window of time where it's throw invuln when he goes airborne but there hasn't been any practical use of yet.

6BB

6BB	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Ground bounces Mostly just used in combos. It ground bounces opponents on regular hit so it's great for floating the opponent so you can juggle with 2C to keep the combo going

6C

6C

Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Great Punish Combo Starter Forces Fatal Counter on Counter Hit Blows back on hit Makes Hibiki Airborne Because of its ability to both force Fatal Counter on Counter Hit and launch the opponent by blowing them back, 6C is an amazing starter for punish combos both midscreen and in the corner that'll lead to big damage. Aside from this, it's mostly used in some corner combo routes to launch the opponent for j.6/3D combo routes.

4B

4B	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - H - - - - - - Good Overhead Hibiki's main overhead mixup. It's also used in some midscreen combos against airborne opponents

4BB

4BB File:BBCP Hibiki 4BB.png	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Mostly just used to hitconfirm a 4B overhead mixup.

3C

3C	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Decent ground poke Knocksdown 3C is mostly just used as a combo tool to sweep an opponent off their feet. However, it can be a decent poke because of its ability to lead to big damage with an Overdrive or Rapid Cancel.

j.A

j.A	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Standard jumping jab. Mostly good for hitting an opponent out of an air approach up close.

j.B

j.B	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - H - - - - H - List what the move is used for List interesting properties in bullet points like invul, floating opponents on CH, etc. Follow the Help:Writing_Character_Pages guidelines

j.C

j.C	Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Great poke in neutral Great for safe jumps j.C is Hibiki's best button that's great for poking opponents air to air and against grounded opponents when done from a well spaced instant air dash or falling down from a jump. It's also useful for safe jumps from combos ending in Hizansho (214C).

Ressōr

Ressō B during Zanshōkyaku File:BBCF Hibiki Placeholder.png

Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Sometimes a good Overhead mixup Ground Bounces Ressor mostly gets used in combos for its ability to ground bounce the opponent and extend the combo a little longer. However, it's also good for an overhead mixup since it can be canceled into from many places in your blockstring due to many normals being special cancelable. Depending on the spacing/how soon you use it in your blockstring, Ressor will cross up.

Misago Kudaki

Hizanshō

Hizanshō 214C File:BBCF Hibiki Hizanshō.jpg

Damage Cancel Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv Attribute Invul - - - - - - - - - Great midscreen combo ender for basic combos Great corner combo extender Hizansho is most commonly used in more basic combos as an ender. The frame advantage from Hizansho combo enders allows you to go for a safe jump with j.C so its pretty good. However, in the corner, Hizansho instead serves as a combo extender since you'll remain close to the opponent and have enough frame advantage to juggle them to keep the combo going. Though not commonly used, Hizansho can also be good for resetting pressure when combined with a Rapid Cancel because of its ability to close the gap with the opponent, putting you in a good position to start your pressure over.
