Overview

Haehyun is a character of extremes. Her damage output is extremely high because she has ShinkenGuardMidStartup12-24Recovery24Advantage-11 (623K~1/4/7 aka Four Tigers Sword (Reverse)), a high damage, normal hit launcher that loops into itself. 2H and 6P will both combo into shinken - 2H in particular is very useful since Haehyun can gatling from 2K into 2H, which means she can connect her biggest combo tool from her fastest low.

After shinken loops, Haehyun can use her 3-hit H Tuning BallGuardAllStartup12RecoveryTotal: 48Advantage-16 to set up oppressive okizeme. Tuning Balls can be controlled simultaneously with Haehyun once they're active, and proper ball control can let Haehyun combo off her throw, her fast 5H(2) overhead, or various frame traps.

If Haehyun ever needs to block, she can rely on her extremely good 2P to mash out of pressure, or use her Enlightened 3000 Palm StrikeGuardMidStartup6+1-151Recovery41Advantage-24 (236236H) reversal super.

However, Haehyun's neutral and movement are extremely linear compared to most other characters. Her walk and run speed are slow, and her big hurtbox means she has trouble backdashing and trouble evading projectiles/pokes. j.2K and air hayabusa (j.214K) can change her air momentum, but they won't let her shortcut neutral entirely.

Haehyun's ground pokes - f.S, 5K, HayabusaGuardMidStartup13-41Recovery18Advantage-5 (214K aka Falcon Dive) - have decent range and size, but she has few options into or out of them. She struggles to make her neutral ambiguous and is often at the mercy of her opponent making a mistake. Her high effective health at least allows her to be patient and wait for a good opening.

Haehyun is slow and straightforward almost to a fault, but she has some solid defensive options that her opponents must respect - if they don't, she can easily turn the tide of a round in a single monstrous combo that sets up equally monstrous okizeme.

 Kum Haehyun is a slow, balanced character with access to powerful okizeme and straightforward special moves. Kum isn't a neutral monster, but her sheer damage output and loopable setplay can turn any opening into a round win.

Pros

Cons

• Simple Neutral: 5K and f.S are straightforward pokes. If your opponent gives you space, set up a Tuning Ball. This is all you really need to play Kum in neutral.
• Fantastic Knockdown Game: Kum's Okizeme revolves around Tuning BallGuardAllStartup38RecoveryTotal: 69Advantage+22, a controllable fireball. Kum can pull it back towards the opponent after a knockdown, setting up a savage 50/50 game with multiple mixup points.
• Kick of the Gods: ShinkenGuardMidStartup25-61Recovery24Advantage-11 is an incredibly strong move with high base damage and excellent return. Routing into a Shinken loop combo deals huge damage and gets great Oki, potentially allowing Kum to get it started all over again.
• Scrapper: Kum has many great pressure options when close to the opponent, such as a lightning fast 2P and +3 c.S. Her high health and huge stun resistance allow her to take hits and stand strong.
• Unblockables: Kum has multiple unblockables that can be guaranteed with the proper setup and ball control.
• Weird Air Hurtbox: Kum has a strange air hurtbox. Along with her super heavy weight, some characters struggle to combo her with bnbs.

• Large Body, Meh Defense: Large hurtbox means she can be easily harassed by zoners, is vulnerable to more damaging combos, and cannot backdash well. She's also pretty slow. Her meterless reversalGuardMidStartup8Recovery20 + 8 landingAdvantage-23 is also mediocre, as it only shrinks her hitbox instead of making it disappear.
• Poor Ranged Options: Haehyun's longest normals (f.S, 2D, 6H) have poor follow-up options or are outright unsafe.
• Enemy Option Selects: Kum's red ball okizeme relies on a high/low mixup that is vulnerable to fuzzy guard A defensive technique where the defender changes their guard direction rapidly and precisely to cover multiple ways they can be hit such as high/low or left/right.ing. Opening someone up who understands how to negate Kum's 5H is challenging.

Unique Mechanics

Delayed Gatlings

Kum's gatlings are timed differently from other characters': instead of inputting the second attack just as the first is hitting, you should slightly delay the second button until after the first makes contact and begins to recover. The timing is slightly more precise than other characters' traditional gatlings, but using them is not difficult at all. Kum's aerial normals have normal gatling windows.

Puppet Projectiles

Kum's Tuning Ball projectiles (236S/H) and Celestial Tuning Ball super (236236S) can be controlled independently of her body after they become active. The regular balls can be controlled left and right, while the super ball can be controlled up and down as well. The balls have momentum and are controlled using the stick, which also controls Kum, so proper ball control is needed for advanced okizeme and unblockable setups.

StartupThe time before an attack is active. Written startup values include the first active frame, so the startup on a frame chart will display one less square than the written value. Frames

Active The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent. Frames

InactiveFrames in the middle of multi-hit attacks which cannot hit the opponent, but are after the move has become active at least once. Frames

Recovery The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking. Frames

Special RecoveryThe recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action.Recovery frames which happen under abnormal conditions, such as after landing. Frames

Useful as a quick anti-air/neutral check. Works in situations where c.S won’t activate and Haehyun’s other anti-airs are too slow. Can't gatling to itself, so for abare you’ll want to look elsewhere (2P). Situational, but good.

• On air hit, Haehyun can gatling into a 5K/c.S/5H/6H depending on range and height.
• On air counter hit, Haehyun can combo into red shinken.
• Can stuff moves like Johnny 6K.

Essentially a mini f.S: slightly less range, but faster startup and more active frames. A good move to use when approaching with 236S YRC that can also function as a niche anti-air. 5K has the most active frames of any of Haehyun's grounded pokes.

• On air counter hit, can combo into red shinken.

c.S is Haehyun's go to pressure normal/Throw OS due to its fast startup and frame advantage. It is also a staple tool for continuing 236H okizeme. Gatlings into itself or 2D for easy ground combos or knockdowns.

c.S can function as an anti-air, but its short proximity range makes it unreliable unless your opponent is point blank. 5P and 6P are generally more reliable options.

• On counter hit, c.S will link into 2H and gatling combo into 6P.
• 6P gatling combos on crouching opponents leading to Red Shinken loops.

Haehyun's longest range normal footsie tool, although its lack of useful gatling options is a bummer. Generally canceled into 214K for safety, a combo, or a miniature frame trap. Take care when using this move as its long recovery is prone to being whiff punished.

The overhead twin of 6K and one of Haehyun's signature okizeme tools. The first hit has a ton of hitstop and a very distinct animation, so keen opponents will be able to stand up and block the second hit if they block the first.

To get the most out of 5H as a mixup tool, use another normal to push your opponent out of the first hit's range, then try to connect with only the second hit. This is usually done during H Tuning Ball oki, which both limits your opponent's counterattacks and enables combos from 5H(2) into full Shinken loops.

If your opponent is really aware of Haehyun's oki, you can try cancelling 5H(1) into the low 623[K] for a moderate combo, but use this only as a last resort.

5H(1) has some use for air combos from 6P since it is jump cancelable. Can technically anti air, but Haehyun's other options are much better.

• Only the first hit is cancellable.

Universal standing overhead that can also negate projectiles while the red 太 is present.

One of the few 5Ds to be plus on block, though heavily telegraphed due to its very distinct animation. Provides mediocre combos midscreen but great combos in the corner, including meterless unblockables with H Tuning Ball and 214[K]4GuardHigh, AllStartup81-154Recovery20Advantage+5 or meaty 5H overhead setups. Against cornered opponents, hayabusaGuardMidStartup13-41Recovery18Advantage-5 RRC > dash 5D6 is a very scary threat that helps Haehyun convert minuscule damage and mediocre frame advantage to massive damage and oki.

5D can also be YRC'd and turned into a mid-hitting projectile at the very end of its startup. This can create visual noise and enable shenanigans such as pressing 5D again.

5D's projectile negation sounds pretty neat since despite the much slower startup compared to S Tuning Ball, 5D's projectile deletion becomes active 1 frame faster, recovers more quickly, and the attack itself won't get negated.

But in practice, this ain't no Venom QVGuardMidStartup20～83RecoveryTotal 38～101Advantage-4 [-1, +1, +5]: it won't negate more than 2 hits, it won't beat anything that is persistent or fullscreen (such as Ky's Fortified Stun EdgeGuardAllStartup~+9RecoveryAdvantage+8), and you aren't likely to net anything from the exchange unless your opponent immediately gets hit by 5D. The best response to most projectiles will be IB Instant BlockA special type of blocking. Usually improves frame data against blocked moves or gives more meter than a normal block or both.'ing them to build meter or just being evasive.

An anti-air move with an odd mix of upper body invuln and a few frames of high profile, since Haehyun lifts herself off the ground briefly during startup. She can actually evade extremely low moves by doing this, such as Potemkin's SlideheadGuardLow[Unblockable]Startup25[29]RecoveryTotal 54Advantage-11 (this is usually impractical despite how cool it is).

Because Haehyun crouches during the move's startup, 6P can beat moves like Beak DriverGuardMidStartup11-33
[34-251]Recovery29
[19]Advantage-16
[+4], Faust f.S and Scalpel Pull, and evade some projectiles. Naturally, this is pretty risky, but it's an option.

6P is also a launcher that combos into red shinken or 5H on normal hit. Since it launches higher than 2H, using 6P instead of 2H to launch the opponent into shinken loops has the benefit of being burst safe.

• Has a hitbox on both sides, which can be useful against moves that can cross up (Elphelt and Millia's rolls) and destroying Jack-O houses that are behind Haehyun.

A slow, low-hitting move with a similar startup animation to 5H. Plus on block, but its primary use is as a mixup option that supplements 5H(2). Note that this attack has shorter range than 5H(2), so depending on your opponent's hurtbox and position, it may whiff in situations where 5H(2) would hit.

6H is a high risk, moderate reward move. At a blistering 7f startup, it can punish many things outside the range of Haehyun's other normals, especially after using FD to force your opponent to whiff something during a blockstring. Sadly, punishing this way will send your opponent nearly fullscreen, which can be troublesome against characters who dominate Haehyun in neutral (Sin, Ky) or who want to run away (Millia, Jack-O').

Counter hitting with 6H will allow Haehyun to combo, but she has much safer ways to fish for counter hits. Not useless, but extremely situational due its complete lack of cancel options making it extremely unsafe on block.

Can be used as a gimmicky movement option when YRC'd.

• Knocks down and away on normal hit.
• Tumbles opponent on midscreen counter hit and wallbounces on corner counter hit.
• Midscreen counter hit can combo to 623[K].

Haehyun’s fastest normal, and her only ground normal that gatlings into itself. One of the best normals in the game for mashing due to its speed and range. Also good for block punishing, especially after an IB.

In combos, 2P is used for easier 2D confirms and continuing air combos on the ground (IAD combos, corner counter hit 6H, etc.).

• Kum's only true self-gatling that doesn't use the delay gatling system.

As a 6f low that can gatling into 2H to start shinken loops, 2K is a fearsome mixup tool tempered by short range and initial scaling of 80%. Also used to combo into 2D and as a low pushback option for H Tuning Ball okizeme. Being plus on block is also useful for frame trapping or conditioning your opponent into blocking.

2K also has a very subtle animation and very little hitstop, so it's too fast for your opponent to react to if used in a blockstring.

2H is a meterless launcher and one of Haehyun's best combo starters because it reliably leads into shinken loops. Both hits combo easily, even from 2K, and the attack's fast startup makes it useful as a raw punish tool. It can even be powerful when thrown out during a blockstring every once in a while since you can jump cancel or special cancel either hit for safety or a combo and builds a good amount of RISC.

Haehyun's hurtbox lowers slightly during the startup of 2H, and the second hit is an untechable knockdown on counter hit, which gives it some utility as an anti air. It's a huge risk to use 2H this way without meter or a Tuning Ball to cover yourself, though.

• Combos to red shinken on normal hit.

One of Haehyun's longest range ground normals, although her only options out of it are mediocre special cancels (hayabusa) or outright unsafe. 2D is useful for securing knockdowns midscreen and in the corner and can be gatlinged into from 2P, so it's not all bad news - just don't go using it as a poke. At certain ranges, it might be Haehyun's only meterless punish option for faraway moves like Ky's Stun Dipper or Greed Sever.

Special canceling during recovery is useful for two reasons, both of which are for Tuning Balls: delay cancel into S ball YRC on block for a pressure re-buy, or into H ball on hit for Haehyun's signature okizeme.

• Special cancelable during recovery.
• Moves Haehyun forward slightly.
• Pops up opponents enough to allow combos into blue shinken if Haehyun is close enough, or even red shishinken if done with dash momentum.

An unusual move that seemingly has no use on a grounded opponent, unless you do something like 2H > j.2K > crossup j.D.

It's a different story against an airborne opponent. If you jump right on top of them - say, after a red shinken - and they choose to tech immediately, Haehyun is perfectly positioned to throw the tech. Not particularly useful in most situations, but it's there if you're feeling saucy.

Haehyun's air blockstring and combo ender. The hitbox is pretty large and reaches downward, so it can actually stuff some 6Ps, but Haehyun's linear air mobility and large hurtbox sort of tarnish j.H's use as an approach tool.

Throw grants Haehyun universal H Tuning Ball okizeme midscreen. Haehyun can still control Tuning Balls during the throw animation, which enables her to combo off of throw if she has one active. This makes throws extremely rewarding both for starting and continuing offense.

If RRC'd after throwing them away from the nearest corner, she is given enough time to charge and land red hayabusa, converting into easier, non-corner specific damage. See combo #8 for reference.

236S

Classic midrange space control projectile with a twist: MORE control! Steerable Tuning Balls mean safer approaches versus characters without projectiles, and sometimes making unsafe moves like 6H or 623[K] more palatable to use in neutral. Still, this projectile has long startup, and the initial hitbox is a bit in front of Haehyun, meaning an opponent can often jump over the fireball and cleanly hit her. Furthermore, it is very unsafe in blockstrings and general stagger pressure unless YRC'd.

Sometimes used for okizeme in situations where the H version would take too long to start up.

---

236H

The linchpin of Haehyun's okizeme. H Tuning Ball forces an opponent to block the projectile for one hit, and then have the fireball float behind them with two additional hits to strengthen Haehyun's pressure. Safe pressure, combos from normal throw, and multiple 50/50 high low mixups can be inflicted from a single knockdown with proper conditioning and ball control.

However, Haehyun won't always be able to prepare the H version after a knockdown. In those cases, she must choose between considerably weaker S ball okizeme or YRC'ing an H ball.

623K

A kick uppercut with upper body invulnerability. Not a true invincible reversal since it only shrinks Haehyun's hurtbox instead of removing it (until the active frames). As an anti-air, however, this move is quite solid due to its long active frames and high reach - it'll even work against dive kick moves like Elphelt's Air Bridal ExpressGuardAllStartup26Recovery7 after landingAdvantage+6.

On hit, you can RRC > 214[K] > red shinken loops.

---

623[K]

High risk, low reward low profile slide reminiscent of Grand Viper. Do keep in mind that this move’s hurtbox is not quite as low as Grand Viper so it will clash with some mid hitting attacks instead of cleanly evading them. If you carry your opponent to the corner, you can combo with RC > 214[K]> red shinken loops.

Colloquially referred to as "Shinken". Normal version is blue, and charged is red. Attack connects 5f after K is released.

The reason you play Haehyun. A high damage, normal hit launcher that links into itself and can be comboed into from Haehyun's primary mixup options and which also lets Haehyun combo into a knockdown with j.H to set up more okizeme and do it all over again. Haehyun can usually get 2-3 red shinkens from a simple 2K > 2H starter. Both versions wallbounce, but the red version has much more hitstun and can link into itself.

Aside from being a monstrous combo tool, shinken has some other uses: it can function as a slow but powerful anti-air due to inheriting the startup upper body invuln from 623[K], and can be used as a high risk counterpoke (usually with 25 meter to YRC it if your opponent doesn't bite). The blue version is usually done from a red shinken or from 2D, where it will enable a short air combo into j.H to set up H Tuning Ball okizeme.

Shi-shinken

The transition from 623[K] to 623[K]4 is lenient, allowing for this bug technique to exist, in which the first few active frames of "Grandpa Viper" cancels into Shinken. This unlocks new corner conversions, mid-screen combo stabilization, and unique loops on some of the cast, namely Potemkin and Haehyun herself.
(View Haehyun's Advanced Combos for practical application.)

It is performed by holding down 623[K] for a couple of frames, releasing K, then tapping/holding 4K once more.
If the tap/hold is done too quickly after the release, however, 623[K]'s startup will be cancelled before the active frames kick in, causing the first hit to seemingly whiff.

Though not wholly practical, a comical usage for Shi-shinken is to do it either during pressure or oki, as the Shinken itself can become a frame trap, be YRC'd for safety, or even combo'd into if the initial hit catches a wakeup option, allowing Haehyun some invulnerable shenanigans.

Colloquially referred to as "hayabusa." Normal version is blue, charged is red. Blue version connects 6f after release and red version connects 4f after.

One of Haehyun's primary neutral tools because it can hit airborne opponents and go over lows; use it enough that your opponent is worried about it, but don't be predictable. Haehyun generally cancels into this from f.S, which doesn't have any gatling options and isn't jump cancelable, so you'll need to use other pokes to make your neutral ambiguous.

Hayabusa is mostly safe on block due to pushback, but a well-timed IB can ruin that. Fortunately, slightly delaying hayabusa can throw off IB timing. The red version is plus on block, and a good way to re-buy pressure against an opponent who's just sitting still.

The blue version doesn't do much on normal hit, but on counter hit it will link into 2D, which generally sets up decent okizeme. The red version will wallbounce on air hit, which can lead to red shinken loops or any of Haehyun's air combo options.

• Haehyun’s hurtbox alters when she lifts up her leg before the kick, so this move can go over low attacks if timed properly.
• Can inflict varying knockdown momentum on airborne opponents depending on which hitbox connects.
• -2 on normal block when spaced properly.

Normal version is blue, charged is red. Both versions connect quite a while after releasing K.

Big overhead with big startup and big damage. One of Haehyun's least useful moves outside of starting combos against someone stunned or crumpled.

The red version is mostly a gimmick, forcing the opponent into a stagger if blocked standing.

Unlike Leo or Johnny's forced staggers, however, the weak second hit will proceed to knock them down, preventing a free conversion.

Haehyun can use her Celestial Tuning Ball super after a 5D6 corner combo to make her opponent sit still AND convert from the 2nd hit's small bounce.

• Both versions send the opponent at a sharp 40° curve upwards and wallbounce on hit.
• Haehyun's hurtbox shrinks as she lifts her leg and stays shrunk as long as you hold K.

Colloquially referred to as "air hayabusa."

A steerable dive kick that supplements Haehyun's otherwise limited movement. Can be used to bait anti-airs like any dive kick, but will often outright lose if your opponent doesn't take the bait. Despite its shortcomings, air hayabusa is one of Haehyun's only ways to maneuver while airborne, so don't be afraid to use it.

Can be comboed from on normal and counter hit; the latter is generally easier and can allow for a microdash into a ground combo or red shinken loops.

• Spikes and groundbounces on hit, and even more on counter hit.

7f reversal super and combo tool. Not quite as unsafe as it looks, since you can play a gimmicky game of chicken with your opponent by moving them around, but still very unsafe.

A large circle appears around Haehyun as long as you hold down H/D: while your opponent is in this circle, you can move them around by using the directional inputs. If done in a combo, your opponent is put into a capture state and you can move them around freely. Tumbles on hit, which can lead to combos in the corner or if you hit behind Haehyun's back, since your opponent will be sent tumbling into her.

Unblockable setups can be started from corner 5D6 combos.

• Haehyun has hyper armor while holding down H, but is throwable and vulnerable to supers.
• Unblockable after charging for 151 frames.
• Can hit slightly behind Haehyun.

What's better than 3-hit Tuning Ball? A 5-hit Tuning Ball you can control up and down! A great okizeme tool for all the same reasons as H Tuning Ball, with more damage and hits. The projectile is so large and obnoxious it can help obscure what Haehyun is doing, especially something otherwise very telegraphed like 5D.

Slow to start up and pretty slow to maneuver, but the ball builds up decent speed once it gets moving. A great way of steamrolling through neutral if you have the meter and breathing room to set it up. An H ball and one of these will show any zoner you are not to be trifled with.

Because Celestial Tuning Ball is a super, your opponent can't burst out of it, which can be useful at the end of a round if you want to tack on more damage.

• Drastically reduced tension gain while the ball is active.
• Stays onscreen even if Haehyun is hit. Cannot be controlled if you're in hit OR blockstun.
• Can be controlled up, down, left, and right by using directional inputs once the ball is active.
• Player 1 ball is blue, and player 2 ball is orange/red.

Yep, it's an instant kill.

Haehyun generally has good ways to spend meter, especially given how combo-friendly her supers are. Her enormous damage output also means she doesn't really benefit from stockpiling meter and fishing for IK combos to end rounds.

• Uses the animation and hitbox of her 5D, but without the added effects.
