Another overhead stab down, this time with longer range. Can be charged to do more damage (or become an unblockable, see below). On hit, the opponent is immediately knocked down.
After charging for long enough, Urs leaps into the air and comes down with a hard downward slash with his chainsaw-blade; this attack becomes unblockable. Does a good amount of damage and knocks the opponent down.

| C | 180 | X | HL | 15 | - | - | - | - |
| Heat Up | 200 | X | HL | - | - | - | - | - |
Urs launches a fireball from his chainsaw's exhaust system. Small, long startup, and has short range, but recovers pretty fast. Can be used as a pressure tool, to help control space, or in some combos. A version is slightly faster but travels less distance. Mixup between both to make it difficult for them to Gatchi.
In Heat-Up, both versions send the fireball upward at an angle, which launches the opponent on hit, allowing for a juggle combo.
Bari Fire Blade
623A/C
| Version | Damage | Cancel | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On Block | On Hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 130, 280 | X | HL | 4 | - | - | - | - |

| Heat Up | 85×4, 382 | X | HL | - | - | - | - | - |
Urs ignites his chainsaw-blade and swings it forward and upward in the motion of a fierce leaping uppercut. Standard Dragon Punch type attack, completely invincible startup but very easy to punish on block. Can be canceled to either super for extra damage. Both versions can be tech-rolled. C version hits more times and does more damage but also is even less safe. However, in some combos the A version will actually give more damage than the C version. For the A version, both hits may be canceled into Super, but for C version only the first two can be.
In Heat-Up, both versions of Bari Fire Blade launch high into the air for up to four hits. At the peak, Urs spins around and swings the chainsaw-blade again, blasting the opponent down to the ground if it hits.
Speed Glide
214B/D
| Version | Damage | Cancel | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On Block | On Hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Heat Up | 153, 68×5, 153 | X | HL | - | - | - | - | - |
Urs rotates the chainsaw-blade's exhaust system backwards and uses it to launch forward, hitting the enemy multiple times as he travels. B version travels about half-screen for four hits, and the D version travels full-screen for up to 5 hits. Hits many times, but does fairly little damage. Generally unsafe on block, but can be spaced right so it can't be punished.
In Heat-Up, the distance is slightly less than D, but it can hit up to 7 times and moves much faster.
Sonic Tackle
236B/D
| Version | Damage | Cancel | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On Block | On Hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | 390 | X | HL | - | - | - | - | - |
| D | 410 | X | HL | - | - | - | - | - |
| Heat Up | 348 | X | HL | - | - | - | - | - |
Urs springs forward with an incredibly fast shoulder tackle. As expected, the B version is a short distance, while D is longer. In both cases, the opponent is blown backward, but can tech when they hit the ground. Unlike other special moves, Sonic Tackle cannot be comboed into. The only way to combo into Sonic Tackle is through kara cancelling another normal mid combo, which is shown in greater detail in the Kara-Cancel section. VERY fast, covers a lot of distance, and does fairly decent damage. Has a lot of recovery though, and is unsafe on block. Extremely useful for punishing pokes or whiffed moves from a distance. Also needed for many combos. Has a low profile and can travel under some attacks. It will go under Odile and Cedric's projectiles, but will not go under Marco or Urs's. On Counter-Hit, B version Wall Splats and D version Wall Bounces. Both can easily be comboed after on CH.
In Heat-Up, the opponent is launched into a wallbounce, allowing for a combo no matter where you are on the screen.

| Damage | Cancel | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On Block | On Hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50×7, 250, 500 | - | - | 8 | - | - | - | - |
Urs charges up his chainsaw-blade and rushes forward, hitting the opponent multiple times, finishing with a powerful uppercut. Works like a DP, fully invincible startup, but easy to punish on block. Fairly strong and covers a lot of distance, making it a good way to end basic chains.
In Heat Up, Urs can cancel hits 7-8 of Road Master into Basilisk Burst.
Basilisk Burst
236236B/D
Hit em with the BLAOW
| Damage | Cancel | Guard | Startup | Active | Recovery | On Block | On Hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100, 700 | - | - | 3 | - | - | - | - |
A very short range attack with the exhaust system of the chainsaw-blade that, if it hits, finishes with a massive explosion that launches. Can link a Bari Fire Blade afterwards (only 1 hit of normally, but all hits in Heat Up). Does have some strike invincibility, but no throw invincibility and very punishable on whiff or block. Also very short range, so you must be careful not to whiff it when comboing.
Heat Up
While Urs is in Heat Up, all of his special moves are enhanced. Unfortunately, Urs has a very short Heat Up duration and it doesn't really help him much with mixups, so it is relegated to just doing big damage combos. He also loses the distinction between the light and heavy versions of his moves.
- 236P - Bari Fire Shot
- Projectile starts up faster and travels in a diagonal direction. On hit, it launches and can be comboed off of.
- 623P - Bari Fire Blade
- Considerably stronger and does a knockdown strike at the end. Very good for ending combos.
- 214K - Speed Glide
- Behaves fairly similar but hits 7 times now. Still unsafe on block. Fairly useful for some combos but that's about it.
- 236K - Sonic Tackle
- Faster, stronger, and always causes wall bounce. An essential tool for Urs, sets up for easy big damage combos and can be used to punish from full screen for big damage.
In addition, Urs gains a few new Chains in this mode, and loses the ability to do 5B 6C (see below). He can also cancel his Road Master super into his Basilisk Burst super, but this is pricey as it requires all 3 MP to perform.
Kara-Cancel
Normally, Urs cannot cancel his 2B or 5B into his Sonic Tackle. However, this can be done with a very tricky Kara-Cancel. Kara-Canceling is when you cancel the startup of a normal into a special move, and generally appears like the normal never came out at all because it was canceled so fast. The method for doing this depends basically requires you to chain into another normal, but then cancel into the Sonic Tackle before that normal comes out.
For example, Urs can cancel 2B into 2A/2B. So he can do:
- 2B 2B 2A/2B-Kara Canceled into 236K
- In this case, the 2A does not come out, but instead 2B appears to cancel directly into 236K.
The same can be done from 5B into 6C:
- 2B 2A 5B 6C-Kara Canceled into 236B
- Which is considerably harder because of the input motion required.
In Heat Up mode, Urs can only cancel 5B into f.C or D. This is actually a good thing though, because it makes his Kara-Cancel off 5B considerably easier:
- 2B 2A 5B D-Kara Canceled into 236K
In Heat Up mode, Urs can only cancel f.C into 2C. This is a powerful kara as it can be done at a distance and grants Urs a wallbounce combo.
- f.C 2C-Kara Canceled into 236K
These techniques are quite difficult and require very strict timing. However, they give Urs additional combo options which can help him out. Learning them is important to mastering Urs, but one of the hardest things to get reliably in the game.
Strategy
Offense
- A blocked 5A leads comfortably into all of Urs’ offensive options. For example, throw, 5B, 2B, 6B, f.C, 2D, 3D, another 5A, walk forward and c.C, or simply walk back and watch what your opponent does.
- 5B recovers quickly, so it’s easy to catch an opponent mashing after it, for example with 5D to score a counterhit juggle. It also has an attack set overhead followup with 5B>6C, which is best to use sparingly, when you think the opponent has forgotten about it.
- 2B is your main low option, and chains into itself so you can be annoying.
- 6B is the best overhead option.
- c.C is a threatening hit confirm as well as allowing you to maintain your offense if blocked.
- f.C is excellent for interrupting an opponent’s attempt to jump forward at a distance.
- 236P is useful at ranges where it’ll hit late. A is very plus when blocked and allows you to continue offense, and C is useful for throwing off the timing.
- If the opponent tries to escape with gachi, you can catch their attempts to escape. 2D and 3D are especially useful as long range lows to stop their counterattack or movement.
- If you believe the opponent has committed to Gachi Drive against your fireball, you can Gachi Drive their Gachi Drive.
- Don’t be afraid to mix in a heat up 2A in your offense. This will beat things like an attempted throw break, and enables new offensive patterns. This is best used by inputting a 2A 5B confirm and deciding what to do from there.
- Stopping at 5B allows the same pressure as above.
- You can also follow up with 2B thanks to the Heat Up attack set 5B>2B.
- Using 5D at this point will beat an opponent’s attempt to backdash.
- Urs’ overheads are very low reward, but they’re a necessary part of offense to discourage your opponent from using low Gachi. Furthermore, Urs gets high reward only from very risky options. Thanks to the 5A>6B attack set, this is the least risky and the main option to mix up an opponent, but also the lowest reward.
- 6C is a high risk, middle reward option. It knocks down, but is slower and much easier to punish.
- 3D is also a notable option within the high low mixup, as its startup looks a little similar to 6B. It’s possible you can catch someone trying to react to 6B with this, but it’s very risky.
- 2B and 2D are your safer low options, and if your opponent is sitting still waiting for them, you can close the distance with a dash and throw.
- c.C can be used as a read to punish an attempted low Gachi.
- Okizeme
- One of Urs’ strongest options is to do an ambiguous left-right mixup with j.B or j.D. This is unlikely to get hit by a Gachi Drive, but be aware the opponent can normal Gachi and counterattack. If you have meter to spare, you can heat up while jumping to vastly increase the reward if the opponent gets hit.
- This is most useful in the following situations:
- After a throw -> dash jump
- After a Roadmaster -> walk back slightly then jump
- When ending a Gachi Drive combo in 2C>214B(whiff) for a hard knockdown, jump forward from that positioning.
- On other knockdowns, pressure an opponent with a light attack, and from there you can threaten the same options as detailed above.
- You can also meaty an opponent with a 236A, which is safe from Gachi and reversals.
- 5D is a distinct meaty option as an advancing attack. While this option is weak to a reversal Gachi, you can time 5D to whiff and throw them for trying. If they catch on, you can whiff it, then backdash and tackle to hit their throw whiff.
- Counter Hit 5D
- CH 5D tackle has intense scaling, so while you can follow up with a special move, it’s often best to use 5B as a reset and opt for one of the following options afterward:
- Cancel to 236C to pressure their landing
- 5B>6C to hit their landing with an overhead
- Dash in and threaten with c.C, 2B, or throw
- Jump in
- Juggle with 3D for standard okizeme
- Alternatively, you can use Basilisk Burst to score more damage without giving up this knockdown situation.
- When Basilisk Burst hits midscreen, it’s best to go for oki on the knockdown rather than follow up with a juggle because there’s simply no way to turn it into big damage. When your back is to the wall, you can use a whiffed 236B at the fastest timing to sideswitch the opponent into the corner and still have enough time to set up Shot oki.
- When Should I Heat Up?!
- Strong options include using heat up with Tackle (236A+B+C) or 2A (2A+B+D), while doing okizeme using an ambiguous crossup, before an anti-air 2C, and after Gachi Drive.
- No matter what you do, it will always cost a meter to get a lot of damage from an opening, so try to keep one handy for these situations.
- With this in mind, spending your last bar should be reserved for guaranteed heat up situations such as Gachi Drive. The other situations listed above are strong, but may not result in a reward, so try using those only when you have an extra bar.
- If you commit to an aggressive Heat Up and the opponent gets out of taking immediate damage, don’t fret! As long as you’re still on offense, you have access to 5B>2B and 5B>5D in Heat Up, which are strong options with which to easily continue pressure.
Defense
- Anti-airs
- 2C is Urs’ go-to normal anti-air. By cancelling it into 214B, you can follow the opponent on hit, as well as make it difficult to parry and punish with a combo.
- If you think the opponent wants to parry your 2C, another option is to heat up, 2C, and 236P to beat their counterattack. If they also parry the shot, you can close 5C them on their landing, or use 214K to force another air parry. If either the Shot or Glide hit, you can follow up with a combo.
- 623P is a powerful anti-air thanks to its invuln and fast startup, but it’s very vulnerable to Gachi. Use it, but be careful.
- 236D isn’t exactly an anti-air, but you can use it to counterhit the opponent when their jump attack otherwise wouldn’t reach you. This isn’t a consistent option, but can work in situations where no other anti-air will.
- Gachi
- On a successful anti-air Gachi, you can heat up and 214K to stabilize into a juggle combo. This is a powerful option that carries a large risk of getting hit, as an opponent attempting to air Gachi will be able to land and punish your Gachi attempt.
- Gachi Drive
- The most rewarding anti-air option, but also the riskiest. Susceptible to getting guarded or even eating a Gachi Drive if the opponent was low enough, as well as to multi-hitting attacks. As with Gachi, the opponent attempting to air Gachi and landing will also allow them to punish you.
- In an air-to-air situation, j.B is usually your best button. j.C can excel it, especially from a backjump, but it’s worse against a grounded opponent. Air Gachi is the safest option.
Neutral
When at a distance, 5D and far 5C are your main attacks in neutral. 5B is also important to use in closer ranges. Look for opportunities to whiff punish with Tackle and score a knockdown. In particular, Tackle is especially useful for these attacks:
- Urs 5D (whiff), 3D (block)
- Marco 6D (whiff)
- Olivia 2D (whiff)
- Ashley 2D (whiff)
- Cedric 2D (block), 5C -> [4]6P (interrupt)
- Watson 2D (block), far C (whiff), and while he’s setting traps
- Coyori 2D (block) (she can space her 2D to be safer, be careful)
- Freed 2D (block)
- Face 236P->214P (interrupt)
- Donvalve 2B (whiff), far C (whiff), 2C (whiff), 214K (parry and punish)
- Deathbringer far C (whiff), 2C (block), 5D (whiff), 2D (whiff), and power up
- Odile 2D (whiff), projectile startup
Against opponents with strong air attacks (ie Coyori, Ashley), j.B is a powerful reactive air to air option.
