Notable Changes from GGAC (+R)

Movement Options

• Lost double airdash buff from +R
• New dash option: Hoverdash -> Vertical Dash. I-no can now launch herself vertical after a ground hoverdash ala Morrigan from Vampire Savior (Darkstalkers). Input is 663.
• I-no now has auto jump-install status on both versions of Chemical Love.
• j.D FDC (j.D~4K+S) now possible without having landing recovery frames affect I-no; New mixup possibilities possible with this.

Normal Moves

• 2S no longer hits low.
• f.S no longer launches; hits once. Reduced active frames, increased recovery frames, no longer has a forced proration.
• 2H hitbox seems to be reduced.
• 6H hits twice; special cancelable.
• All normals can be dash cancelled late in their animation/recovery frames. 6H can only be dash canceled when the first hit makes contact with an opponent.
• Air Throw: No longer wall bounces, so meterless combos impossible unless thrown into a traveling note projectile. Knockdown.

Special Moves

• Anti-Depressant Scale [214+P]: H Note gone; speed reduced back to Slash properties. Note now moves faster when used from the air than when used on the ground.
• Stroke the Big Tree [41236+S/H]: S version staggers on hit and counter hit, H version knocks down but can be comboed off of with a Counter Hit; possible to combo after CH, or if comboed from a 6P juggle.
• Chemical Love [214+K/S]: Horizontal version hitbox length reduced, also no longer hits below I-No's body or behind her. Vertical version landing recovery reduced. Input for both versions now 214+K/S. After successful HCL hit, now possible to follow up with VCL for a knockdown anywhere on screen. Both HCL and VCL take an extra frame to go airborne, so no longer a ghetto reversal tool.
• Sultry Performance [j.236+P/K/S/H]: K & S versions now both cause knockdown on hit; S version causes wall bounce for corner combo possibilities but now scales RISC by 19; K & S versions damage nerfed to 30 and have additional prorates. H version speed increased, less recovery on block. P version has increased untech time making it easy to use for knockdown.
• New Move: Shoudoku Method [214+H]- Command grab that can be performed grounded or mid-air. I-no will launch herself upwards a bit and choke opponent with her guitar string whilst flipping backwards. Resets all air movement options so can be comboed out of; can be performed during an airdash as well to catch teching opponents. Can grab burst startup. Cannot YRC the grounded version after active (will be PRC), but can YRC the air version after active.

Normal Moves

5P

5P Fast poke, can be crouched under but good for Anti-Air	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 12 Mid - - 4 4 6 ±0 You can use this to AA when someone starts their jump in from further up to try to beat our awesome 6P. This is used in combos when c.S (frame 6) is too slow to catch someone or wont activate (f.S range) and 5K is too slow. Also good to use before a c.S in combos when baiting a burst.

5K

5K Kickin' your can all over the place

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 20 Mid - - 7 7 12 -7 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

c.S

c.S Great combo tool	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 34 Mid - - 6 2 12 ±0 Combo tool, used in some pressure strings because it's jump cancelable. You'll wish it activated from further away instead of f.S.

f.S

f.S Dash canceling this might be useful?	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 28 Mid - - 13 5 19 -9 Still investigating proper uses. 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.

5H

5H Do damage with this	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 38 Mid - - 13 4 18 -3 Good hitbox, though it seems 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

2P

2P Blow him a kiss and you're mad

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 10 Mid - - 5 2 5 3 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 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.

2K

2K Low combo starter	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 15 Low - - 5 2 8 ±0 A staple low combo starter. Prorates 75%. Low profiles and can dodge under moves like Bandit Bringer.

2S

2S Long range poke	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 28 Mid - - 9 2 17 -5 No longer hits low. Long range poke that you can usually combo into HCL for knockdown. Lots of recovery so take care when using it.

2H

2H She really should treat her guitar better	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 35 Mid - - 11 2 11 6 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. Now prorates 80%.

j.P

j.P Air to air with range and speed	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 18 High / Air - - 5 5 12 - 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.

j.K

j.K How does she hold it without a strap? Magnets.	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 13 High / Air - - 5 12 18 - 5 frame overhead that's used out of a hover dash for mixup. Has a good hitbox for such a fast move, given that I-No's hitboxes aren't great. Prorates 90%.

j.S

j.S Starter that leads to damage	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 23 High / Air - - 8 6 23 - 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.

j.H

j.H Pete Townshend's favorite attack.

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 35 High / Air - - 12 6 Until Landing - 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.

j.D

j.D Spread on Time

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 40 High / Air - - 16 5 20 / 9 After Landing - 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 your you'll get counter hit. Prorates 80%, but hits pretty hard itself and sets up meterless combos nicely when going into delayed VCL. Can be faultless defense canceled on startup for the altered momentum effect. This is difficult to do if you have a Burst stocked, but you can jump cancel moves like 5K, c.S, j.S, and even j.D into j.D, then Faultless defense cancel to stay low to the ground for near-instant overheads, or to land and immediately attack low with 2K while they're reacting to your jump. You can also delay the j.D FDC slightly to jump over the opponent for a cross up. In Xrd, j.D FDC removes j.D's 9 frames of landing recovery, so go nuts.

6P

6P Disrespect people's pokes and jump-ins with this

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 32 Mid - - 9 3 21 -10 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.

6H

6H High risk, low reward

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 20,45 Mid - - 5 4(12)8 17 -6 The first hit prorates 80%, but the second doesn't. Now causes blow back, and you can't dash cancel this move, 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.

2D

2D Knock people down > use oki mixup	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 26 Low - - 11 3 18 -7 Seems like it has less range than before. Knocks down, but floats a little bit on hit, which is used in some HCL setups.

5D

5D Use this like a zoning tool

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 25 High - - 26 12 9 -7 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 isn't bad, but we have better high/low options. 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. A universal 5D gimmick is to YRC late into startup and hit low or throw.

Universal Mechanics

Ground Throw

Ground Throw Tie your mother down	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 0,60 Ground Throw: 78750 - - 1 - - 54 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. In the corner you can do 160+ damage now! Otherwise, it's great because it causes knockdown, so you can mix them up again.

Air Throw

Air Throw It has range again! RANGE THAT TIES POTEMKIN'S AIR THROW	Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 0,60 Air Throw: 201250 - - 1 - - - Instant air throw that doesn't combo anymore. But it's instant and has good range. Causes knockdown so you can oki, throws them toward the corner.

Dead Angle Attack

Dead Angle Attack Don't ****ING touch me!

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 25 All - - 11 3 25 -14 Costs 50% meter, prorates meter gain, shoves people off of you, can be used while blocking. Try not to let players sweep under this or block this. Also try not to forget this option exists just because we have good supers and there's this new Blitz Shield kid on the block that you can reversal with. Back in my day we blocked oki mixup and used Alpha Counters like real Scotsman!

Special Moves

Antidepressant Scale

Antidepressant Scale 214P (air OK) File:GGXRD Ino AntidepressantScale2.png UNDER PRESSURE File:GGXRD Ino AntidepressantScale3.png PUSHING DOWN ON ME PRESSING DOWN ON YOU. Do a mixup then a combo ending in knockdown then a note then do it again

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground 12×ｎ All - - 18 Until Corner Total 50 -12 Air 12×ｎ All - - 15 Until Corner Until Landing - Shoot notes at range to try to force the other player to block so you can get in. Also shoot notes on oki to try to scare the other player into blocking so you can run a mixup. You can control the note with up/down inputs to determine it's vertical position on the screen. Gains extra hits the longer it's on screen, up to a max of 5. Slightly builds RISC in this game. Sometimes you'll want to end combos with Pdive for knockdown to push yourself out far enough for note to hit 3 times on oki, which is enough time to get back in, and also helps your combo damage if your mixup is successful. If you knock the other player down with HLC ~ D, you wont have enough time to force them to block with note. In such a situation you'll have to use another oki method, like VCL YRC.

Stroke the Big Tree

Stroke the Big Tree 41236S/H File:GGXRD Ino StrokeTheBigTree1.png Don't take offence File:GGXRD Ino StrokeTheBigTree2.png At my innuendo Go under things to counter hit and knock them down

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. S 40 Low - - 20 2 17 ±0 H 40 Low - - 28 2 14 3 S version staggers on ground hit and can be escaped easily. If they don't mash out of stagger fast enough though, you can use this opportunity to knock down or attempt a reset. On Counter Hit there's enough stun to usually link into something and guarantee knockdown. Used to lead to big meterless damage on CH, so this is a big nerf. H version knocks down on ground hit, and has enough stun to start a combo on Counter Hit if it connects in the corner. Otherwise you wont get much off of it. It's a very risky move to use given the start up time, but you can low profile under a lot of moves with it, and now that you can YRC at any time you can bait all sorts of stuff. STBT YRC into mixup is an effective tool, and the time slow allows you to chase people who jump in fear of throws with an air throw.

Sultry Performance

Sultry Performance j.236P/K/S/H File:GGXRD Ino SultryPerformance1.png I'm burning through the sky yeah! File:GGXRD Ino SultryPerformance2.png Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit. File:GGXRD Ino SultryPerformance3.png I'm trav'ling at the speed of light

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. P 30 High / Air - - 14[67] Until Landing 15 - K 30 High / Air - - 13[66] Until Landing 12 - S 30 High / Air - - 13[66] Until Landing 14 - H 20×3 or 5 All - - 10[63] 32(3 Hit) 10 After Landing - Pdive - Travels at a 15 degree angle. Combo tool with plenty of untech time. Can be canceled into an airdash or into specific special moves (more dives or note) after frame 9. If it hits low enough I-No will land and can link into 5H. Kdive - Travels at a 30 degree angle. Knocks down with plenty of untech time. Prorates 85%. Hit's overhead but can't be used as a starter even with RC when it's a ground hit. Damage nerfed to 30 from 35. Sdive - Travels at a 45 degree angle. Knocks down, but wallbounces in the corner. Scales RISC by 19 points, prorates by 70%, and can't be used as a starter on a ground hit outside of the corner even with RC. Given the proration and harsh scaling, it's not recommended to RC on air hit for a combo anyway, unless it'll kill. Damage was reduced from 40 to 30. Probably I-No's most nerfed move. Hdive - Travels horizontally along the screen. Low damage, but multi hit. Can be used in character specific combos that emphasize meter gain over damage. Also has a use in neutral when you want to take a big risk from just the right distance away. If you catch them off guard and hit them, you get a combo. If they react too slow to AA you and block, you're safe if you spaced it just right. Only with the HS version can you charge for a maximum of 5 hits.

Chemical Love

Chemical Love 214K (air OK)~214S (Derivative follow-up) Dynamite with a laser beam File:GGXRD Ino ChemicalLoveK-D.png File:GGXRD Ino ChemicalLoveK-D2.png Derivative Follow-Up.

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground 35 All - - 11 10 13+8 After Landing 3 Air 35 All - - 11 10 12 After Landing - Followup 214S 25 All - - 13 - 9 After Landing - Reaches about 2/3 distance across the screen when the camera isn't fully backed out. Range seems worse than AC/+R, but it's probably pretty close if not the same. More untech time, so it's useable in some combos in the corner. Also pretty good when YRCd during neutral. The derivative follow up can only be used on hit/block. Knocking down with derivative doesn't lead to as good oki as dive knockdown, so take care to use it when you have at least 25% so you can dash in and VCL YRC for oki, or when it'll kill, or when there's no alternative that gives knockdown. Now it's airborne on frame 2 and the vertical hitbox on I-No's body was nerfed to pre +R status. Follow-up can be done with both ground and air versions.

Chemical Love (Vertical)

Chemical Love (Vertical) 214S (air OK) File:GGXRD Ino ChemicalLoveS1.png File:GGXRD Ino ChemicalLoveS2.png File:GGXRD Ino ChemicalLoveS3.png Guaranteed to blow your mind

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground 40 All - - 11 11 11+9 After Landing -4 Air 40 All - - 11 11 8 After Landing - Hits pretty hard and has improved landing recovery. Used in corner loops for big damage. When used during active airdash frames, this move will cause I-No to fast fall, which improves follow up options. There's just enough time in I-No's air dash to link j.K > j.S > VCL and still fast fall. Airborne on frame 2, so you can't "ghetto reversal" against lows anymore. When YRC'd, this VCL is one of the most oppressive oki tools in the game. 11 active frames means that if timed right, the majority of characters can't back dash out without getting hit. If they try to reversal out, you can use the super flash from the YRC to react and FD block as soon as game play resumes. If they commit to blocking, I-No is in the air and can land with an overhead or land and immediate low while they're in block stun for an unreactable mixup. If they reversal Blitz Shield and absorb the projectile, I-No can land and throw.

Disinfection Method

Sterilization Method 214H (air OK) File:GGXRD Ino SterilizationMethod3.png She'll take your burst as well as your heart...

Version Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. Ground 0,60 Air Throw: 227500 - - 18 - Total 47+8 After Landing - Air 0,60 Air Throw: 227500 - - 6 - 8 After Landing - It's an airthrow with the most range in the game. Unlike Heavenly Potemkin Buster, it's actually a throw and not an unblockable air-to-air attack, so you can throw bursts with it. Resets jump options on hit and has enough untech time to set up a combo. Forced prorate 60%. You can YRC the air version after active, but it'll become a PRC for the ground version before the throw even goes active. The ground version is just slow enough that if you hit a player and clairvoyantly go for the air throw knowing they'll burst, you wont grab them in time if they burst quickly enough.

Overdrives

Longing Desperation 632146H File:GGXRD Ino LongingDesperation3.png File:GGXRD Ino LongingDesperation4.png I want to break free!

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 50x3 Mid - - 7+2 20 10 +1 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.

Ultimate Fortissimo j.2363214S File:GGXRD Ino UltimateFortissimo2.jpeg File:GGXRD Ino UltimateFortissimo3.jpeg File:GGXRD Ino UltimateFortissimo4.jpeg

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv. 50X3 Mid - - 7+0 7 16 - In AC/+R this was contender for best super in the game. While some of this move's properties have changed (Recovery is now listed as 16 instead of "Until Landing" and it's active for 2 fewer frames), we're not sure if the input freeze is still present. It appears to be so, and if that's the case, 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 after, and on hit it sets up a high-damage combo. Because the invul only lasts up to the active frame, this 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, may beat other supers if it goes second. Don't forget that supers gain hellfire damage in Xrd and beat Blitz Shield on top of being unburstable.
