Overview
- Baiken is an original Guilty Gear character known for strong defensive options and controlling space.
She is a raging, livid samurai searching for That Man out of revenge. She is set apart from the cast due to her guard cancels that allow Baiken to attack during blockstun without tension. This enables her to break out of pressure and limit the opponent's options, forcing opponents to play a completely different game against her. Additionally, these guard cancels can be performed during blockstop, the period of time where characters are frozen as moves make contact to emphasize the hit effects. This means that she can punish moves which are normally safe since the GC's startup occurs during the window where the opponent's move is frozen, plus the remaining active window, plus the move's recovery frames. Each guard cancel allows her to get out of a variety of pressure situations, and her excellent set of normals also provide her plenty of opportunities to shut down anything the other player wants to do.
Baiken Baiken fights at midrange, while meterlessly attacks while blocking, and can seal opponent's movement options and buttons.
