I-No |
---|
|
Overview
Badass, cruel and sexy. The time traveling rock star witch who seeks violence and the embarrassment of others. Serving "That Man", she continues to tease and harass Sol Badguy, who wants "That Man" six feet under. She is a force to be reckoned with and will murder anyone who gets in her way.
I-No is a bit tricky to use but overall has some great potential when mastered. Her biggest strength is her mixup ability. Rather than the standard ground dash, she possesses a unique Morrigan-style hoverdash that leaves her airborne, allowing her to use her aerial moves without needing to jump. This allows her to create relentless, painfully difficult to block pressure using her quick rising overheads, deceptive lows, and delayed or fake overhead strings. On knockdown I-no becomes extremely threatening, as her Note and Vertical Chemical Love YRC can stuff many of the opponent's reversal attempts on wakeup, which combined with the natural safe-jumps provided by her hoverdash, allows her to freely rush in and start a mixup. This grants I-no some of the safest and most dangerous okizeme in the game, and with her impressive damage output (especially in the corner), she can very easily take rounds just off a single knockdown.
However, I-no possesses many weaknesses to offset her stellar setplay. The biggest one is probably in her neutral game. While her hoverdash is amazing for high/low mixup, it is incredibly prohibitive for movement. Combined with overall mediocre normals, and she can really struggle to get in against certain characters, or can be overwhelmed versus characters with far better normals up close. I-no is also one of the most meter hungry characters in the game; while her tension gain is above average, she's constantly spending meter on YRCs to help her get in and stay in. This means characters that are great at denying meter by forcing her to spend it on defensive options such as FD and reversal supers can also be problematic.

You can poke with this, but the hitbox isn't great. In older GGs this was used as a linker in HCL FRC dash combos, as well as in pressure to set up mixup with TK Dive and 2S. With 2S not hitting low, 2D not leading to very much without spending meter, and TK dive not being a starter anymore, you'll have to learn j.D FDC to make use of mixup out of this move. However, once learned your mixup options improve dramatically. Should also be used from time to time in block strings to avoid being too predictable, and you'll need to combo into it in some situations (such as a j.D FDC mixup out of block pressure) since I-No may push herself out too far to link into 6P against skinny characters like Venom, Zato, I-No, Millia. It's also good for catching back dashes since it has decent range and 7 active frames. |

In most cases where you would combo into this, you can substitute 5H for more damage. Almost seems useless now that it has been reverted from the AC/+R function of being really slow to start up but really active and good for covering space, with significantly less recovery. Now you get stagger on CH, but they can mash out of the stagger in the same amount of time that the CH used to give, so it's a worthless buff against people that know the matchup and can mash out of stagger. The problem with this move is that at maximum range you can't combo into HCL unless you CH, and on CH you can't really get much more than that (knockdown) unless you spend meter. If they mash out of stagger they can recover quicker than you can dash in for a better punish, so the stagger is worth nearly nothing. They also gave it 2 more active frames, but we're not sure if they replaced recovery frames or were just added in. In most cases where you'd want to poke with this, 2S is a better option because it recovers slightly faster, has more range, and will actually combo into HCL on regular hit more consistently. |

Good hitbox, though it's smaller than AC/+R. When spaced right, if you've conditioned the opponent to attack low to try to beat STBT, you can tag them with this for a counter hit. Otherwise, this is a staple combo tool. Patch 1.1 buffed STBT-H, so now that's an excellent move to combo into of when you score CH 5H in or near the corner. As such, the value of 5H (and 2H) as a poke has increased. Also, right around when this move goes active, I-No leaves the ground. You wont be able to dodge most sweeps, but you can dodge moves like Potemkin's Slidehead (on reaction) or Slayer's 2H (on prediction). |

It's now +3 on block, up from +2. Used in tick throws, used in frame traps. You can gatling 2P > 2H to leave a 1-frame gap, and if they don't get counter hit by 2H, 2H is another frame trap. Gatling 2P > 5H from further away will leave a bigger gap, and you can also just let it recover fully for conventional frame traps with 2K, 6P, and other moves. Prorates 80% on hit. |

No longer hits low. Long range poke that you can usually combo into HCL for knockdown. Patch 1.1 increased the forward slide effect, so now you can link HCL from further away on most characters... unless they're crouching. Lots of recovery so take care when using it, but it's still less recovery than f.S. Unfortunately, hitting a crouching opponent near max range doesn't lead to any real reward without spending meter. You can cancel into Note or STBT, but you'll leave a gap that they can hang you for. They'll crouch under HCL, and 2D's nerfed range means you can't even knock down. 5H and 2H also have reduced range, and while you can combo into 5H at close range and link IAD j.K on tall characters, it's not as efficient as I-No's usual BnBs. 5D has enough range since it's actually bigger than 2S, but it's even slower than Note or STBT, and there's no real opportunity to mix up out of 2S since 2D (low) wont reach. Mashing could beat both STBT-S (low) and 5D (overhead) anyway. Anyone that knows the matchup wont be caught blocking low against 5D in this circumstance - if you use it here, you're trying to catch them going for a punish since you out-range many pokes. 2S is still a useful move if you have 50% to RC with. Now you have a move that can punish a whiff from almost 1/2 screen into a full combo with corner push, or big damage in the corner. |

Used to frame trap since it's +6 on block. Also has a good hitbox that you can use to fish for counter hits. I-No is low to the ground during this move so you can sometimes crouch under stuff. Hitbox is smaller than AC. Patch 1.1 seems to have removed the 80% prorate, so it's very comparable to 5H in function and utility now. 5H does 3 more damage and can be jump canceled, but 2H recovers faster which leaves it at +6 and puts I-No really close to the ground (I-No is lower to the ground during this move than 2S, and in AC this move was considered low profile). |

Good when you need to jump at someone with a poke, or want to OS your air throw with your lowest recovery air normal. Combos into j.H on counter hit. Also used at the end of IAD pressure strings when you want to land into 5P or 2K, or mix up with j.D, or frame trap with delayed VCL YRC. |

5 frame overhead that's used out of a hover dash for mixup. Has a decent hitbox for such a fast move, given that I-No's hitboxes aren't great. Prorates 90%. Trying to land on an opponent's active low hitbox with this move will often lead to I-No being counter hit. It seems that I-No connects with the ground and is considered landing before the hitbox on this move gets close to the floor, so sometimes this can lose to wakeup 6P even when meatied. For reference, when Bedman 'falls asleep' during his idle animation and turns into a regular bed, this move whiffs on him no matter how it's timed or positioned. |

Works as an air to air, works as an air to ground. Overhead with no proration that leads to big damage in the corner. Will lose out to most things, so try to stay covered by a note or HCL YRC. It seems that I-No connects with the ground and is considered landing before the hitbox on this move gets all the way to the floor.

I-No sticks her leg down somewhat, so you can sometimes use this to land earlier than normal. In AC/+R you could j.H right out of the start of a hover dash to land immediately for very strong j.K/2K mixup, but with I-No's dash in Xrd you have to stop dashing and start to fall for a few frames. You can also go into j.H in airdash pressure to land early for 2K/throw mixup. Besides this, j.H does great damage and has a lot of range. It can work as an air to ground when spaced correctly. |

An overhead that alters I-No's air momentum; she'll fall when rising, and float when falling. Used at the end of air block strings before landing for mixup. Can jump cancel for combos or continued block pressure. 16 frames of startup means that any air string you use will leave a gap, so don't get predictable with this mixup or you'll get counter hit. Prorates 80%, but hits pretty hard itself and sets up meterless combos nicely when going into delayed VCL.

Improved to 1-11 frames invul above the knees. Damage buffed by a few points. Prorate is no longer forced. It's a good anti-air tool, a good ground-to-ground poke, and a staple launcher for combos. Just try not to whiff because it has a lot of recovery frames, and be aware that other players may try to sweep under this move if they know you'll use it. Knocks down on ground hit if you don't combo it into anything. For reference, if you space at max range you can actually safely bait some DPs (like S-VV and Artemis/Bentengari). |

Staggers opponent on counter hit. Max duration 29F. New "anti air" tool from Rev2, visually it looks good, but not so great since it's not jump cancelable and you can't really combo in anti air situation unless on counter hit (6S counter > STBT HS > j.P etc.) |

The first hit prorates 80%, but the second doesn't. Now causes blow back, and you can't dash cancel this move unless the first hit connects, though you can special cancel it. Really limits I-No's options when using the second hit to fish for an AA Counter Hit. It used to lead to meterless damage and corner push, which was great considering the risk when using this move. Now you push them out too far to get oki, and don't really get a combo. However, this move is still great when attempting to throw as the AA hitbox will catch people who jump away, and now that you can special cancel on block you have options if it's blocked on the ground. Also works in corner combos when you're going to optimize for damage and end with HCL ~ D knockdown. If the 2nd hit catches someone jumping away from your throw in the corner, you can VCL loop for huge damage. |

Has significantly less range than before, which means it's really difficult to knock down from about max 5K range (with f.S and 2S having more range than that). Knocks down, but floats a little bit on hit, which is used in some HCL setups. This move is a low without proration, so there may be situations in which you'll take the risk on using this as a low and then spend meter (Desperation - its proration is not forced) to do big damage in the corner. |

A little faster than +R, though still slower than AC, and has more recovery. Also has a prorate on top of scaling RISC really hard. It's a grounded overhead, so that's a thing. The horizontal range is surprisingly good, but we have better high/low options. If you're going to use this it's best to take advantage of the range, so use it more like a zoning tool than a mixup tool. You can try to catch people running in under a note or something - in a situation like that, most players are likely to crouch block and get tagged by this. Otherwise, throw it in from time to time in the corner when you're at a distance. Worthless on air hit, so be cautious given the risk of using it. Very active, so you could meaty it on oki for shenanigans and use the unexpected frame advantage to score a counter hit. On YRC is a mid attack. A universal 5D gimmick is to YRC late into startup and hit low or throw. Some buffs to other moves in 1.1 improved the damage you can get from this in the corner. |

It's a throw. Throw people from time to time because I-No likes the physical contact. It costs more meter to combo off of now, but the prorate is improved (80% from RC compared to 40% before). In the corner you can for between 143(PO) to 202(CH) damage and still get good oki! Without RCing into a combo it's still great because it causes knockdown and pushes a little bit toward the corner, so you can mix them up again. You can also combo off of this without spending meter if RISC is cranked up to about +64 (training mode % value), which is 14% past flashing. |

Frame 1~13 Strike Invul. Starts 2 frames after the flash so it's possible to reversal throw it right before it goes active if used at neutral (it's not throw invul), FD, or even in some cases beat it clean with an uppercut (Volcanic Viper) or some low profile moves (Grand Viper). However, throwing this super on reaction would be much harder when used as a reversal because of the restriction on throws when waking up. Safe on block. It can be used as a combo-finisher but Fortissimo is a better option for that. Goes through projectiles and untechable knockdown. 80% prorate means that it can be used as a combo starter, but ultimately Fortissimo is a better combo starter due to no proration if you get an opportunity to punish. If you have 50% meter when you run your corner oki, it's actually worthwhile to use 2D in place of 2K sometimes (since 2D doesn't prorate) and confirm into Desperation for full damage, then follow up with a full combo. |

In previous entries, this was a strong contender for best super in the game. In Xrd some of this move's properties have changed. Recovery is now listed as 16 instead of "Until Landing", it's active for 2 fewer frames, and it doesn't look like the input freeze is still present. However, this move is still frame 0 after the flash, which means this move basically wins in any situation where the other player isn't invul at the time of the super flash. It's + on block (no longer sure by how much) so you get to run a mixup if they manage to block, and on hit it sets up a high-damage combo. Because the invul only lasts up to the active frame, Fortissimo will trade with or lose to most 6P attacks (the upper body invul) and will lose to other Reversals depending on timing and how much invul they have. It's pretty much guaranteed to lose to an uppercut, though it may beat other supers if it goes second. Don't forget that supers gain hellfire damage in Xrd, and beat Blitz Shield. |
