Overview

Overview

Hazama uses his Ouroboros chains to zip across the stage, either to approach his opponent or to run away. Once in, he can use his stance-mixups or his command grab to open them up and start in on any one of his myriad combo routes that lead into a j.214A ender, which places him in a great position to start everything over again.

At close range, Hazama is notably lacking. Although his tools are all decently fast, they barely cover any space. The ones that do, i.e. 2C and his 214s, all need resources to get damage off of. Due to this, he tends to play more of a keep away until the moment is right, using his chains and movement to land hits rather than traditional normals.

 Hazama

Pros
Cons
  • Corner carry: Flexible combo routes with good corner carry.
  • Chains: His B normals give him a large amount of range to both control space and move about.
  • Anti-airs: Effective Anti-air game between Reversal Action, 2B, and Hungry Coils.
  • Mixups: Solid mixup options supplemented by his special moves including a command grab 214C.
  • Good Damage: High damage solo routing with meter and/or in corner, and even better with Resonance.
  • Pitiful Range: Embarrassingly small footsies range and normals, requiring him to close the gap often. Blockstrings are short, and hit-confirms are very distance dependent.
  • Weird Mobility: Limited chain angles and a slow step dash make getting close awkward.
  • Synergy: Nearly always wants a large, long range assist to get in. Hazama's own assists offer unique tools but are situational or offer poor reward.
  • Meter Hungry: Despite his amazing damage potential, Hazama almost always need a high amount of meter when doing solo routing.
  • Assist Dependent: Hazama's regular solo routing leads to pitiful damage without meter, require him to constantly use an assist to lead to higher damage without meter.


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 chain. You can cancel the chain to catapult launch Hazama in that direction to quickly turn a stray hit into a full combo.

  1. Hazama's chains are mapped to his B buttons.
  2. Can only use 1 chain per jump.
  3. Press B a second time to launch Hazama, press B a third time to do a long range kick.

Normal Moves

4A

5AAA 1500 All 15 2 21 -3 B
5AAAA 2000 All 13 4 44 -27 B

5A is fast, has short horizontal range, and a long recovery. It has the lowest P2 proration in Hazama's entire moveset besides 2C, making it his strongest combo starter in terms of damage reward. On hit you can continue the A Smart Combo, or cancel into the rest of Hazama's moveset.

Also, this is NOT. YOUR. POKE.


5AA is special cancel-able on hit


5AAA is special cancel-able on hit.

On ground hit it does nothing special, but an airborne hit will send the opponent sliding, allowing a follow-up 5B. Most commonly used for 5AAA > 5BBB > re-land/jump cancel, or followed with Mizuchi RekkazanBBCS Hazama Mizuchi Rekkazan.pngGuardAllStartup1+(30 Flash)+14RecoveryTotal: 70Advantage-46 to end the combo.


5AAAA launches on hit, but whiffs on smaller airborne opponents midscreen if you hit with the tip of 5AAA. Very unsafe on block. Only useful if you're trying to get the Cross Raid damage or change characters.

5B causes Hazama to throw out his Chain like a projectile. Unlike previous BlazBlue entries, Chains lack a deadzone, making them excellent combo tools at any range.


5BB will halt the Chain's motion and pull Hazama towards it, whereever it is.


5BBB is a follow-up attack mainly used as combo filler, but can be used as a VERY situational air-to-air A jumping attack that hits the opponent out of the air due to its horizontal range. Can also be used to bait out anti-airs or Dragon Punches A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion. if timed early enough to land and block.

  • 2B launches on hit.
  • May or may not be an anti-air.

Because your only upward moving chain is tied to using this move first, expect to use this a lot when starting air combos.


  • 2BB is special cancel-able on hit or block.

Throws a chain at a 65 degree angle. This may actually whiff on your opponent depending on the spacing when 2B hit.


  • 2BBB pulls Hazama in to the chain.
  • Cannot act immediately after pulling yourself in.

This will almost always pull you close enough to continue your combo.

Super aggressive angle makes this chain a great harassment tool, though lack of ability to cancel this chain means you're vulnerable when using it. Cover yourself with an assist if you can.
Pressing B immediately after the chain comes out will send you flying across the screen at a very slight upwards angle.


  • j.BB pulls Hazama in to the chain.
  • Cannot act immediately after pulling yourself in.

The follow up of the chain. Do note that the next follow up(jBBB) will NOT come out after a period of time(12F). Also due to the lack of other possible follow-ups, using this move too much could be predictable and will be easily anti-air'd.


  • j.BBB is jump cancel-able on hit.

Standard combo filler. One thing to note is that this move has some landing recovery when simply chaining in has none at all, so if you want to bait anti-airs, don't use this move as you get close to the ground.

j.2B is best used when the opponent is too close for j.B. If the opponent is close enough for this to hit, they're almost certainly close enough to punish a whiff, so use with caution.


Using 5BB immediately after the chain comes out will send Hazama across the screen starting at a more or less horizontal angle. Also called a "super air dash."

As of 1.50, the "super air dash" has been significantly slowed down. Don't rely on this too often. Instead, wait longer and press the B button. Hazama will fall down much faster and are in a position to use moves such as DP, 4A, or throw. Can be used to bait anti-airs if done this way.

Hazama's invincible reversal Dragon Punch. Comes out very fast, hits high in the air, and pushes Hazama backwards slightly, but its short horizontal range makes it easy to whiff. As with most Dragon Punches, whiffing equals death.

You can cancel into Rising Fang from both 214A/214B and 236A/236B.

Because Hazama's meterless special moves 214A and 236A are among his most useful tools for active switching, careful timing is necessary to avoid getting this move accidentally.

This move can also lead into 236B+C after the Zaneiga portion of the move, allowing for stray hits and early 214As to turn into decent damage. You'd would primarily want to do this when you don't have access to a partner call, but have the meter to get decent damage. It should be noted that 236B+C will whiff if the opponent is too far away.


214B is the low, Zaneiga, without the preceding mid Jagai attack of the 214A version. B can be held to delay Zaneiga. Holding [4] during Hazama's charging animation will cancel it. Useful combo filler.

1800 All 13 Until L 16L 0 H

Jameijin/Shadow Serpent is a useful tool for controlling Hazama's movement through the air. Using it stops all horizontal momentum, and causes Hazama to fall to the ground quickly. On whiff, the recovery is cancelable into forward dash, normals, and specials.

This fast drop is useful for many things, including, baiting a Reversal Action and anti-airs, and mix-up feints. NEVER use this to hit an opponent who is below you from on high, as the hitbox is only active on one leg, and the inactive leg has a massive hurtbox attached to it. Not an overhead.

Can be used as a combo ender to land closer to the opponent than j.214B, but doesn't lead to great okizeme.

  • Hazama advances towards the opponent and performs a command grab that leaves them in a stun state. If close, he performs the command grab automatically without advancing.
  • Has grab invul against all grabs during startup, even moves such as Tager's GETB.
  • Has no actual damage if it connects.
  • Costs 1 bar of meter.
  • Whiffing this shit will be the last mistake you make.


As of BBTAG 1.50, the damage scaling has been tweaked so you can get some decent damage routes from the command grab. The fast startup can easily catch your opponent off guard, but beware of its short range.

Links into 5C, making this move akin in damage to a standard non-super command grab. Useful for preventing bursts.

In 2.0, this command grab when linked into extra assault deals around 6.27k unburstable damage.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln
3980 [4980] All 4+(40 Flash)+1 3 19+31L -32 B 1~Flash All

Serpent's Infernal Rapture, a.k.a Jayoku Houtenjin, is why Hazama is so scary once he gets 2 bar. Even the simplest midscreen combo you follow-up with after this will net you at least 8k damage. This super is best done after a normal or two because of the remarkably low P1. Most commonly, you'll see the following normals or chains of normals leading into this super: 5A, 5AA, 5A > 2C, JBBB, or any throw.

This is the main metered way Hazama can stabilize a hitconfirm into a heavy-hitting combo.

Usually, if your partner is still alive, then you should use partner skill instead of 236B+C if the damage has prorated too much. That being said, you have enough time after landing this super to raw swap into your partner character and continue from there.

Defensively, its fast startup means that it can potentially catch a plethora of safejump setups, and usually wins trades due to the massive launch. However, due to the lack of invlun, it is very easy to get hit out of 236B+C if you use it haphazardly or predictably.


Deals even more damage in Resonance Blaze while still having low P1. Confirming off from 5AA>2C>236+BC in corner and ending it with 2C>214+BC, as an example, nets you with at least 10k damage.

If you have enough bars, then at the end of the combo, you can do (2C > (some special) > Jayoku)*n > Mizuchi, creating a Hazama Airline, which will only let you go when you're dead.
