Overview

Overview

Swift Master is a technical and aggressive character who is adept at fighting from nearly anywhere on the screen.

Thanks to his fast movement speed, great frame data, large disjointed hitboxes, and the ability to use any MP moves while airborne, Swift Master will generally command the pace of the match in any matchup. When playing from a distance he can fish for highly damaging hits with Storm StrikeGuardAllStartup25Recovery33Advantage-5, a nearly fullscreen plus on block combo starter that beats projectiles. When needing to approach zoners, he can use 214MGuardAllStartup19 (4M)
19 + 5 Landing (j.4M)Recovery10Advantage+10 to protect himself from projectiles for up to 4 hits, even beating otherwise dominant options such as Crusader's 236MGuardMidStartup15RecoveryTotal 45Advantage+5 all while making his own dodge plus on block.

In blockstrings, Swift Master has access to a variety of options that can throw off his opponent. Using Wind OrbGuard-Startup16 (6M)
9 + 5 Landing (j.6M)Recovery20Advantage- allows him to access an 8 way airdash attack in Sonic Move, which can be used to mix opponents with throw, bait reversals, or cancel Wind Orb into Storm Quaker for tight blockstrings that beat reversals and rolls. He can prevent opponents with shorter reach from counterattacking via his 6SGuardAllStartup14Recovery52Advantage-14 projectiles, or reset pressure by pulling opponents in with 4SGuard-Startup10Recovery0Advantage-.

In addition to its blockstring strengths, using Wind OrbGuard-Startup16 (6M)
9 + 5 Landing (j.6M)Recovery20Advantage- for okizemeFrom Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups. gives Swift Master a large amount of options including somewhat gimmicky high/lows as a knowledge check or to visually trick the opponent into making a mistake.

His main weaknesses are his bottom of the barrel health pool and guard gauge, making him more susceptible to touch of death situations than the majority of the cast, as well as having the lowest natural mana regen in the game outside of Awakening. He also suffers from low reward on smaller hits and lacks an explosive win condition that other strong characters have.

Swift Master

Swift Master Swift is classified as a Gimmicky type. He has fast movement and high mobility. He can use all MP moves while airborne. His moves support his movements while encumbering that of his foe's.

Pros

Cons

Mobility: Swift Master is among the fastest characters in the game outside of Awakening, and the absolute fastest within it. He also is able to use every MP Skill while airborne.
Incredible Neutral: All of Swift Master's attacks are highly disjointed, active, and are amazing as whiff punishes. He is also adept at fighting projectiles with 214M, cancelling them out and leaving him plus on block when running or dodging into an opponent.
The Corner Is Mine: Swift Master's midscreen combo routes lead to a great deal of corner carry, and he also has the freedom to always pick which side he ends his combos on.
He Needs It: 214M's active tornadoes allow Swift Master to break many rules of the game, such as having attacks out while Dodging and blocking so he is unpunishable on whiff or even free to start his own offense should they connect.

Fragile: Swift Master is in the lowest health and guard gauge brackets in the game, making him more susceptible to high damage combos and guard break pressure.
Damage Output: Swift Master's only starters that lead to high damage combos are 5MGuardAllStartup31Recovery29Advantage+4 and Storm Strike. While practical, the most common starters are 5A, 5B, or 5S anti airs. This usually means that Swift Master requires more touches to kill than other characters.
Flawed Pressure: Many of Swift Master's offensive tools (such as 4S, 6S, and 5M), can be huge risks if called out or reacted to, and the reward for success is low. Since 2A isn't low and 2B is a bit slow, it limits his mixup options without access to Conversion. Swift Master also has trouble dealing significant Guard Bar damage, generally making returning to neutral the best offensive decision.

Swift Master summons a vortex to pull the opponent towards him. The closer they are, the faster and closer they will come towards him. This move is a double-edged sword, since while it pulls the opponent in close to reset pressure, it has no hitstun. This means that when this move is used against a savvy opponent that is already doing a move, they will either hit Swift Master or take their turn back with a blockstring.

Pulls in from full screen, but the opponent's position depends on how far they were on activation.
Pulls the opponent in closer and faster if they are airborne.
Can cancel into a normal immediately after the move is finished, allowing Swift Master to reset pressure against an unprepared opponent.

Creates four small hurricane-like projectiles that spin around Swift Master for a duration, while he's free to move and attack freely after the animation ends. When the wind comes in contact with an opponent, it will hit them consecutively, with each projectile dealing 1 hit and disappearing. The projectiles can absorb and will beat most projectiles that come in touch with them, serving as a barrier protecting Swift Master.

Since Swift Master is free to act while the tornadoes are active, it allows him to be plus on block after dodging into opponents. On hit, he can even start combos if they connected late enough into his dodge. The same is also true for simply running directly into the opponent. Should his dodge not make Wind Twist connect with the opponent, he can still remain nearly unpunishable if the opponent doesn't have a disjointed attack to circumvent being hit by them.

Some projectiles done at a vertical or specific diagonal angle may be able to circumvent the wind barriers. Examples being Ranger's j.MGuardMidStartup18Recovery-Advantage- and Dragon Knight's j.SGuardMidStartup20RecoveryUntil Landing + 10Advantage-15~+4
