Overview

Anji Mito uses his guile and wits to read the opponent's next moves and steal the spotlight when they misstep. The unique Autoguard property on his specials make them immune to normal strikes during their duration. If an opponent tries to take their turn too early, Anji can dance straight through their attack for a devastating punish. These and other tricky tools in Anji's kit are especially good for conditioning, guessing games, and dangerous RPSRock Paper ScissorsA situation wherein an attacker and a defender have options that only beat certain responses from their opponent. For example, on wakeup a defending opponent may use a reversal to stop an attacker from using an attack, but the attacker can also block to defeat the reversal. If the attacker blocks, the defender can use the opportunity to take the offensive. situations.

Fuujin is his signature move with many graceful followups, the threat of which can force an opponent into risky options in the neutral game and in pressure after 5K or f.S. Shitsu fires a projectile butterfly that turns into a bird for starting offense from a knockdown. While he lacks plus-on-block moves to assert himself, Anji excels at stealing turns from the opponent by using the threat of his strong counter-hit starters and Autoguard to get away with leaving large gaps in his pressure. If the opponent tries to jump over Fuujin, Kou and 6P provide him excellent control of the air. Combined with throws, 2D, and baits, Anji's neutral and offense commands respect if you can enter someone's head.

This playstyle carries inherent, unavoidable risks. Each follow-up to Fuujin has their own counter-play that requires Anji to think one step ahead of the opponent at all times, especially if the opponent has access to an invincible reversal. Anji's defensive tools such as Kachoufuugetsu Kai also require some foresight, and bode doom for him if he whiffs them. He has limited options for mashing out of pressure, as 5P and 2P can only combo into 6P and only at point-blank range. All of Anji's Autoguard moves are vulnerable to throws, and RC slowdown.

If you want a character who can conceal your intentions and entice the opponent into acting unwise, you might be a fan of Anji.

Anji Mito

Anji Mito is a Balanced character who controls the midrange and runs powerful offense with Fuujin.
Pick if you like	Avoid if you dislike
Having a versatile toolset, with potent options at every state of the game. The ability to go through attacks, letting you brute-force your way into your turn with the right reads. Having both high damage with powerful combos, and strong oki with Shitsu. Strong anti-air options that stop overzealous air approaches. Forcing RPS situations where the risk-reward is usually in your favor.	A lack of non-committal options to safely throw out. A gameplan that revolves around risky callouts that can lose you your turn on a wrong guess. Your main tools being very matchup dependent. Finding yourself using the same move in the same way in sequences very frequently. Forcing RPS situations that can result in the opponent getting their turn back if they guess right.

Unique Mechanic: Autoguard

Anji has a property on most of his special moves called Autoguard, where he will pass through an opponent's attack and will treat the attack as though it whiffed, allowing for potential punishes other characters may not be able to do. He is able to Autoguard attacks with 236K, 236[H] and 236[S]. Making good use of Autoguards to call out reckless attacks is a key part of playing Anji effectively.

Often used to start pressure at close range or as a meaty attackHitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. after a knockdown. Its speed, wide variety of gatling options, and mid Counter Hit slowdown also make it a go-to move for punishes. In pressure, it can be both delay canceled, dash canceled, or jump canceled to create frame traps and bait defensive options (such as c.S > 2S). Since it's plus on block, you can follow up with frame traps, go for a reset by dashing up with another c.S or go for a throw.

Covers an incredible area above and around Anji. This move's wide range and tall hitbox make it a great tool for forcing the opponent back down onto the ground, most notably in the corner. 5H's slightly disjointed hitbox can make for a decent counterpoke in some matchups. This move's long range also makes it a go-to throw whiff punisher.

A slow moving butterfly projectile that transforms into a bird when it collides with something, flying up and then falling back down for another hit. This move sees most of its use after a hard knockdown (e.g. Ground Throw, 2D) where you can perform a strike/throw mixup once you have conditioned your opponent to stop mashing/backdashing/upbacking. Use sparingly outside of knockdowns, as it has long startup and does not travel fullscreen. It has very specific and matchup dependent use in neutral, but when used appropriately it can help Anji make safer approaches against a defensive opponent, as its slow travel time allows Anji to run behind it.

When landing a Throw (such as after a 236K punish or 236H-K > Throw), the gap between meatyHitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility. The most common one is performing an attack early on okizeme to gain frame advantage and bait reversals. Shitsu and a follow-up can be eliminated by MicrodashingCancelling a very short dash into another move, making blockstrings like Shitsu > Dash c.S gapless. This is incredibly usful to learn against characters with powerful reversals, such as Sol's 623SGuardAllStartup9Recovery18+10 LandingAdvantage-28.

Fuujin is a dash punch/rekka type move that is a part of Anji's offense. By itself, Fuujin is useful for CH confirms, combos and can be useful for pressure in some situations. It has a variety of follow-ups that are nice to use against conditioned opponents. However, a non-conditioned opponent may not respect it as a pressure tool and for many characters with a reversal/DP, they will usually abuse the gap between Fuujin and its followups.

Nagiha is the go-to follow up on standing hit, Rin is for air hits or a slow overhead, Issokutobi is for counterhit combos, and Shin: Ichishiki is a pressure reset.

Can be held to add Autoguard to startup.
Follow-ups can be performed on whiff and as early as frame 13 after inputting Fuujin.
The latest possible follow-up can be started on frame 35 [51] of Fuujin, or 6 frames before Fuujin recovers.

A slightly plus on block followup to Fuujin, allowing you to frametrap the opponent or potentially reset pressure. This move can always be completely avoided and even punished by an opponent jumping, so you must condition the opponent to stay put before you can use this safely. With early cancel, this turns into an alternate guaranteed plus meaty Anji can combo with on hit, or a projectile to keep opponents out. It can make an opponent's DPs whiff with proper spacing, which may lead to a full punish depending on matchup. It can also lead to a 50/50 with drift Purple Roman Cancel that can either cross up or not depending on when you do the PRC.

The hitbox only exists once the fans have reached the ground.

A small hop that gets Anji up close to the opponent, allowing him to set up throws or reset pressure against opponents who are conditioned to stay put and aren't expecting it.

Anji is considered airborne while using this move, allowing for some sneaky mixups with Roman Cancel. However, you can be punished on reaction with a button or throw, so use it rarely during Fuujin pressure against aware opponents, if at all. Also sees use to correct the distance in certain combo routes and link to a c.S in counterhit combos.

With early Fuujin cancel, this becomes a massive command dash with lower body invulnerability. Can be used this way as a risky gap closer, as throw bait or against committal lows like Potemkin's Slide Head.

A low sweep that's the safest follow-up to FuujinGuardAllStartup16 [32]Recovery21Advantage-8 [-6] due to its high pushback and low disadvantage on block, giving Anji a low-risk option to end his pressure when spaced correctly. Instant Blocking makes the move unsafe, but varying the cancel timing from Fuujin can help against opponents looking out for that.

In pressure, using Nagiha with a slight delay after Fuujin catches opponents who are jumping or mashing, allowing Anji to condition them to hold low block in order to use other Fuujin follow-ups more effectively.

The overhead option after Fuujin. Use this move to catch people who are staying put and looking out for Issokutobi. Normally, it does not lead to great combo potential due to how low the opponent bounces on hit. However, it is useful in conjunction with Shitsu or if you have RC to boot. In these cases, you get great damage. Also, you get an advantage to go for a meaty anywhere on screen.

This move becomes significantly more threatening with RC, as without it Rin is unsafe and has low reward on hit.

Anji's reversal super. On frame 1, Anji enters a defensive stance for 30 frames. Any hit will trigger an advancing counterattack from Anji. With Near counter, the cinematic triggers for solid damage. Due to being a counter, it beats SafejumpsWhen an air attack with low recovery hits meaty, but recovers in time to block reversals., but has no offensive presence outside of niche frame traps.

With Far counter, Anji dashes forward and does two follow-ups instead, being slightly minus on block. The Far counter loses invincibility once the attack starts, making it hard to use in some situations. If the Opponent blocks the first hit of Far counter (for example during projectile oki), the first hit will string gaplessly into the second hit.

Loses to Throws and whiffs on cross-ups.
Near counter is cinematic, Far counter is not.
