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 multitude 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

Cons/Weaknesses

  • Most normals have short range
  • Mix-up options are limited and slightly gimmicky
  • Anti airing can be difficult due to the angle of 2C
