|overview= Anji is an all-around character whose main mechanic is his autoguard, which allows him to block during portions of some of his attacks. He can work at close to mid range with varying degrees of effectiveness. His tools, while each strong in specific situations, don't fit any "jack of all trades scenarios", making Anji tricky both to play and to deal with.

|header=Overview
|content= Anji is an all-rounder character who specializes in hard reads. With a large offensive toolkit based around highly-specialized moves, Anji is the "thinking man's" character who excels at understanding his opponent and crushing their attempts to contest him.


Anji has an extensive mixup game with a variety of lows, overheads, and throws which can break open opponents who don't know what to do. His most unique tools include Fuujin, Autoguard, Late Cancelling, and {{clr|3|3S}} Cancel, all explained below. Unaware opponents can be run over by him quite soundly, while experienced foes will force Anji to mix up which autoguard he uses with his other tools to greater effect.
Anji's main mechanic is his autoguard, which allows him to block during portions of some of his normal attacks. Strong use of Autoguard normals allows Anji to punch through his opponents offense quite easily or bait them into frametraps. Helping this along is Anji's signature {{MMC|input=236H|label=Fuujin}}, a fast lariat that can be followed up with a number of options. Fuujin is useful for anything from pressure to mixups to neutral, making it an excellent move to rely on throughout a match. After Anji gets a hard knockdown, he can perform {{MMC|input=236P|label=Shitsu}} to keep his opponent blocking while he runs up to perform a mixup or engage in pressure. Anji has many solid mixup options after a knockdown, allowing him to perform a powerful offensive game.
|lore=  
 
|summary= is an all around character whose game is centered on his autoguard and Fuujin.
Anji has a lot of tools for specific situations. For example, while Anji can call out high and mid attacks with plenty of autoguard moves, his only autoguard low normals are {{clr|2|3K}}, {{clr|3|3S}} and {{clr|4|2H}}, all of which are committal. To successfully autoguard a move, Anji must make an active prediction for how his opponent will react to any given situation, but the special autoguard follows are powerful and rewarding.
 
By that same token, Anji has several highly unique properties that change how he approaches basic situations on a fundamental level. While his jump-ins aren't particularly strong, he has a strong IAD threat in neutral with buttons like {{MMC|input=j.P|label={{clr|P|j.P}}}}, and can use {{MMC|input=j.D|label={{clr|D|j.D}}}}'s air stall to bait and punish anti-airs with falling normals. His  unique superjump is extremely horizontal, giving Anji a potent alternative to double jumps and airdashes for navigating the screen. His bad guard bar stats and strong defensive tools in tandem necessitate that Anji approach defense more proactively than most.
 
Anji's low execution, strong fundamentals, and accessible toolkit make him a great pick for both new players and veterans. Players who enjoy hard reads, strong offense, and solid defense will love Anji and his fanciful fighting style.

{{ProsAndCons
|intro=is a specialist famous for Fuujin, his unique Auto Guards, and purposed-tailored normals.
|pros=
|pros=
* '''Fuujin''': Has access to an invincible rekka starter that covers lots of horizontal space, and leads to damage and setplay on hit and mixups on block.
*'''Specialist Attacks''': Anji's buttons reward specific callouts. His normals are oppressive when leveraged properly because of their combination of counterhit reward,  autoguard, and shutdown potential.
* '''Potent okizeme''': When given a butterfly setup, Anji gets access to strong mixup and an unblockable setup with meter.
*'''Belligerent Defense''': [[#Fuujin|Fuujin]], [[#Autoguard|Autoguard]], and a powerful Throw {{keyword|OS}} enable disrespectful style in which Anji can blow through attacks and make the opponent play his game.
* '''Tricky mixup tools''': 3P, Fuujin followups, and an anti-air grab give Anji some good tools for opening up targets.
*'''Great Anti-Airs''': Both in terms of anti-airs and air-to-airs, Anji has it made. He's great at harassing opponents who jump with jumps of his own, and he has great anti-airs if he chooses to plant his feet.
* '''Guard points''': Several normals allow Anji to proceed unimpeded through abare attempts, and cancel his blocks into even stronger options.
*'''Meter Dump''': Strong and linear meter use means he can turn just about any touch into 150+ damage, corner carry, and oki on almost the entire cast. He also has damaging, match-practical unblockables against the entire roster from his key knockdowns.
* '''Strong aerial mobility''': Air stalls, ON, and a unique super jump give Anji some good aerial tools.
*'''Gatling God''': His permissive gatling table and uniquely delayable gatling timings give Anji an unmatched degree of freedom and expression in how he sequences his normals.
* '''High guts rating''': Despite an average defense modifier, his guts level lets Anji survive longer than expected.
*'''Clean Movement''': Thanks to a good run speed, extremely horizontal super jump arc, and momentum-altering moves, Anji can work himself into just the right spot on the screen.
|cons=
|cons=
* '''Reliant on Fuujin''': Matchups where Anji has to use Fuujin sparingly due to traps or attacks with long active frames are tough.
*'''Over-Specialized''': Anji's normals tend to be geared towards strong niche uses, trading properties like autoguard and great counterhit reward for compromises elsewhere that make them extremely risky when misused.
* '''Easily gone around''': Many moves can be easily reversal'd, low profiled, or avoided and punished hard.
*'''Hitbox Issues''': Anji struggles to deal with low profile moves more than most, beyond the realm of traditionally strong low moves like {{CLabel|GGACR|Sol}}'s {{MMC|chara=Sol Badguy|input=214S|imageNumber=1|label=Ground Viper}} - strong sweeps are a consistent and exploitable pain point.
* '''Shut down by counters to Butterfly Oki''': Reversals and characters with means around it can put Anji in a struggle.
*'''Guard Bar''': Anji has the worst guard bar stats in the game, which can lead to disproportionately damaging cash-outs on hits after even short pressure sequences
* '''No reliable reversals''': None of Anji's options besides DAA can reliably get him out of pressure.
}}
* '''Very specialized''': Anji has a wider moveset than normal, and each move is necessary for specific situations.

|unique_mechanic1_name= Fuujin
===Unique Mechanics===
|unique_mechanic1=Fuujin is a rekka starter with generous 12f strike invul on startup that leads to a mixup situation on block and potentially nets a combo on hit. This move is used in all aspects of Anji's game--defense, offense, neutral, combos, you name it. Keep in mind that the back end of its startup frames are completely vulnerable, making it weak against moves with long active frames and disjointed projectiles that linger on the screen.
====Autoguard====
|unique_mechanic2_name= Autoguard
{{card|width=4
|unique_mechanic2=Several of Anji's moves have a property where they will automatically block moves that make contact, depending on the type of move: Low Autoguard will only block lows, and High Autoguard will block mids and highs. He can cancel his move into one of four Autoguard Followups if he blocks something during autoguard, and these are very fast and in some cases are guaranteed to connect.

|unique_mechanic3_name= Gatlings
|content=Several of Anji's moves have a property where they will automatically block moves that make contact, depending on the type of move: Low Autoguard will only block lows, and High Autoguard will block mid and high attacks. He can cancel his move into one of four Autoguard Followups if he blocks something during autoguard, and these are very fast and in some cases are guaranteed to connect.
|unique_mechanic3= Anji's unique Gatling options and array of command normals give him freeform blockstrings and unique combo options.

* Late Cancel - Anji's normals have a property in which they can ''all'' be cancelled at any point during their active and ''recovery'' frames into a normal or special move as long as they made contact, giving Anji the ability to turn any gatling string into a Frame Trap.

* 3S Cancel - 3S is a particular normal that can be cancelled during frames 8-10 of its startup into 5S or 5H, allowing for very unique blockstrings and cancels that other characters cannot perform. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ex3mzXvUlg Example Link]
<gallery widths="100px" heights="100px" mode="lines" style="text-align:left">
* Other options - Anji has a large number of command normals, [http://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=GGACR/Anji_Mito/Frame_Data#Gatling_Table gatlings,] and moves with frame advantage. This on top of his other unique options and ability to gatling into autoguard moves can make his blockstrings unpredictable, and allow him to crank the guard gauge quickly.

Anji's {{clr|P|5P}} is a god-tier jab, undercut by its ability to be crouched by most of the cast. It is large, lightning fast, and prone to favorable trades due to its high attack level.

{{clr|P|5P}} has limited options for gatlings, generally leaving you reliant on {{clr|S|3S}} cancels for more substantial grounded conversions. {{clr|P|5P}} will, however, freely combo into {{clr|H|5H}} on crouching hit and counterhit, making it superb for fast punishes on crouch-recovery moves like {{Character Label|GGACR|Ky Kiske|label=Ky's}} {{MMC|game=GGACR|chara=Ky Kiske|input=214K|label=Greed Sever}} or {{Character Label|GGACR|Slayer|label=Slayer's}} {{MMC|game=GGACR|chara=Slayer|input=2D|label=sweep}}.

Furthermore, the fact that Potemkin and Justice cannot crouch block under {{clr|P|5P}} makes it positively domineering in those matchups, letting Anji convert hits that would be inconsequential in other matchups into corner-to-corner carry.

{{clr|H|5H}} is one of Anji's most important normals. It boasts decent range and a high attack level, and forces crouch on hit, opening the door to some of Anji's most essential combos. {{clr|H|5H}} is guaranteed to combo into {{clr|H|236H}} on grounded hit, launching opponents for a great blend of damage and corner carry, especially with meter invested.  Put simply, routing into {{clr|H|5H}} is part of your win condition in many matchups.

On block, {{clr|H|5H}} is a little more nuanced. Its high attack level means it leads to a good amount of pushback, but cancels from {{clr|H|5H}} can be quite hard to challenge. Accordingly, using {{clr|H|5H}} in block pressure can be quite powerful when applied well, but may force you to disengage or lean on {{clr|H|236H}} to make up for lost space.

{{clr|K|6K}} stands alone as Anji's only frame one high/mid autoguard, and as such, is one of his most used, overused, respected, and counterplayed options. Its frame one high/mid autoguard means it can be used as a reversal when paired with its followups, though if your opponent delays their meaty or goes low, you will get counterhit. Additionally, {{clr|K|6K}} is quite potent when used as a callout against frame traps and projectile-based pressure resets.

A great grounded overhead to mixup opponents.
*On counter hit bounces opponent allowing a followup.
*Potent in Anji's butterfly oki.  
*Has no gatling or cancel options besides RC.  


''Ground bounces opponent on CH (Untechable for 90F).''
Aside from being used as a reversal with autoguard followups, {{clr|K|6K}} sees some use as an anti-air and anti-poking autoguard due to its short length compared to {{clr|H|6H}} and {{clr|D|5D}}, though {{clr|K|6K}} suffers from a relatively small catch window, and {{clr|S|6S}} has more use as an actual poke with an autoguard.
</div>
</div>


===<big>{{clr|2|6K}}</big>===
{{clr|K|6K}}'s only gatling is {{clr|1|3P}}, which acts as a ''wide'' frame trap (7f gap) to discourage punishment when {{clr|2|6K}} is not cancelled. While not a gatling, {{clr|K|6K}} can also be late cancelled into {{clr|2|5K}} on hit, block, or whiff during its last 10 frames, which leaves a 5f gap on block as an alternate frame trap.

==== ====
A fast frame trap with early autoguard frames.
*Has autoguard on FRAME 1, meaning instant access to Anji's autoguard moves.
*Has no gatlings besides 3P and can only be cancelled by RC or its FRC while also being -10 on block making it a potentially very unsafe move to throw out.
**Despite that its FRC leads to good combos or the ability to continue your pressure.


''Staggers opponent on ground CH (max 37F). FRC timing 11~12F.''
{{clr|K|6K}} also has an FRC on its first two active frames, which are somewhat niche but quite powerful. First and foremost, it allows for a much greater degree of safety, since the FRC is only four frames after {{clr|K|6K}}'s autoguard window ends. On block, {{clr|K|6K}} FRC is a whopping +13, which is a huge amount of pressure to squeeze out of an 11f move with many gatlings into it. This advantage applies to combos as well, where it can be used to extend ground combos or put together character-specific extensions after On.


'''Autoguard''': High autoguard 1~7F. See notes *1 [[{{PAGENAME}}/Frame_Data|here]].
This FRC shares its timing with autoguard hitstop should Anji catch something with {{clr|K|6K}}, meaning the following option selects are available:
* <code>{{clr|K|6K}} > FRC (PKS)</code> - Kou on autoguard, FRC on block/whiff
* <code>{{clr|K|6K}} > FRC (KSH)</code> - Sou on autoguard, FRC on block/whiff
* <code>{{clr|K|6K}} > FRC (Any Three+D</code> - FB Kou on autoguard, FRC on block/whiff; must be precise or you risk using your Gold Burst

''Initial prorate 80%. Untechable for 19F. Throw invincible 4~20F. FRC timing 17~20F.''
Use it to call out backdashes or to mix up when close by FRCing it immediately into throw, which starts Butterfly pressure.

Combos into {{clr|S|S}} Fuujin on normal hit or {{clr|H|H}} Fuujin on counterhit, both on and near the ground, with some per-character variation. This is especially useful on characters that can be difficult to {{clr|S|S}} Fuujin loop, where {{clr|H|6H}} has enough hitstop to allow for height adjustments by delaying your cancel into {{clr|S|S}} Fuujin.

{{clr|D|j.D}} is a powerful air button, useful for just about everything ''except'' jumping in. Notably, {{clr|D|j.D}} halts Anji's horizontal and vertical movement early in its startup frames, though this movement halting is ''not'' frame one; {{clr|D|j.D}} cannot be FDC'd in a useful manner. This air stall is superb for keeping your movement unpredictable and baiting anti-airs, especially since Anji recovers fast enough to airdash or jump after even the lowest of {{clr|D|j.D}}s.
 
{{clr|D|j.D}} is shockingly disjointed, making it a potent air-to-air, especially when paired with its movement stopping and Anji's special superjump, effectively letting you place a giant stop sign anywhere in the air. On normal hit, {{clr|D|j.D}} knocks the opponent away with a highly untechable hit, capable of knocking down low to the ground, or comboing into {{clr|P|j.214P}} for a knockdown. On counterhit, {{clr|D|j.D}} is massively untechable and will wallstick should the opponent reach the wall.


''[[{{PAGENAME}}/Frame_Data#Gatling_Table|Gatling Options]]: {{clr|5|j.D}}''
{{clr|D|j.D}} also has a special property where it can be canceled into any non-{{clr|D|j.D}} air normal from frame 23 onward, allowing for character-specific followups, including <code>{{clr|D|j.D}} > landing j.{{clr|K|K}}/{{clr|S|S}} > {{clr|P|5P}}</code> for a rejump, or <code>{{clr|D|j.D}} > {{clr|H|j.H}}</code> for a knockdown. Outside of combos, this recovery cancel can be used to capitalize on baited anti-airs by landing on the opponent with a button like {{clr|S|j.S}}.

{{#invoke:FrameChart|drawFrameData

}}
A slow moving projectile that serves as one of Anji's most important specials. Upon input, Anji sends out a butterfly at about leg height. If it comes in contact with the opponent or a projectile, the butterfly transforms into a hawk before leaping into the sky and falling to the ground. The hawk projectile hits twice on the way down, both of them as Mids.


''Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 60F). Forced prorate 50%.''
Shitsu has two purposes. The first is in neutral as a high committal zoning option for a grounded approach. While the projectile is slow, if enemies interact with it at all then they will have to deal with the hawk followup. While not amazing, using Shitsu to gain space can be a decent way for Anji to make his way in against opponents who like to stay on the ground.
</div>
</div>


===<big>[[GGACR/Defense#Dead Angle Attack (DAA)|Dead Angle Attack]]</big>===
Shitsu's second purpose, and its more important one, is in okizeme. Upon getting hard knockdown on his opponent, Anji can throw out Shitsu and guarantee a mixup attempt. Many of Anji's single-hit mixup moves, like {{clr|1|3P}} or {{clr|2|3K}}, can be thrown out inbetween the butterfly hitting the opponent and the hawk falling onto them, which will allow a full combo with good timing. Shitsu forms the backbone of Anji's mixup game and is an extremely important move to utilize nearly every chance you can get.

Shitsu has a few weaknesses. Not only is it slow, but the projectile also disappears if Anji is hit. Thus, Anji players will have to correctly space and time their butterfly oki to the best of their ability to avoid a reversal attempt. {{clr|2|6K}} can help with checking for reversal attempts in butterfly oki.

Fuujin is arguably Anji's most important tool, and alongside his autoguards, what really defines his kit. Fuujin is an advancing and highly damaging lunging strike that sees use across every facet of Anji's game plan. {{clr|S|S}} Fuujin and {{clr|H|H}} Fuujin are pretty distinct, each with different uses.
<div class="attack-info">
{| class="wikitable attack-data"
{{FrameDataHeader-GGACR}}

{{#lst:{{PAGENAME}}/Data|236P}}

==== ====
Second only to Fuujin in its importance to Anji's game: Shitsu launches a slow moving Butterfly projectile which is active for about 2/3rds of the screen. On contact, it will float up, transform into a hawk, and drop down on the opponent for three hits. Works predominantly as an Oki tool, forcing players to block, DAA, or attempt a reversal on wakeup. This allows Anji to run in and go for his myriad of mixup options, from overheads, double lows, High > Low, etc. There is a large gap between the first and the following hits, meaning that you'll want to time Anji's other attacks to hit between so that the opponent doesn't get to play while you're applying pressure.


Butterfly has some uses in neutral, but it's best used from far away or while they're in the middle of something to simply force the opponent to deal with it. It's actually fairly easy to SB the followup hits, so some players might be ballsy and SB to chicken block to avoid any mixup you'd go for if you don't force them to sit down between the first hit and transformation.
On block, both Fuujins share the same flaw; they lock you into the same set of five reactable followups, each with well-understood counterplay. While ill-prepared or scared opponents may not challenge your followups, savvy opponents will be able to snipe you out of most followups with ease. Regularly routing into Fuujin followups on block will leave you dependent on an ignorant/scared opponent, ambitious conditioning, or meter use to consistently stay safe. At the same time, Fuujin is a great gap closer in block pressure, and can be used to mitigate natural pushback and faultless defense alike.
----
{{clr|3|S}} Fuujin is one of the key features of Anji's grounded and corner combos. Owing to its lack of invulnerability and minimal horizontal movement, {{clr|3|S}} Fuujin does not see use in neutral and pressure like {{clr|H|H}} Fuujin.


''Projectile disappears immediately if Anji gets hit. Falling butterfly has Chip damage x2. Falling butterfly: Startup of 1F after original projectile hits or is blocked, or 20F after nullifying a projectile.''
On grounded hit, {{clr|3|S}} Fuujin combos into Nagiha and nothing else. On air hit (including {{clr|D|2D}}), however, {{clr|3|S}} Fuujin will floorslide. On {{Tt|most characters|Everyone except A.B.A., Johnny, Order-Sol, Potemkin, and Robo-Ky}}, <code>{{clr|D|2D}} > {{clr|S|236S}}</code>  will let you combo into {{clr|D|FB}} Rin for a launch, which is one of Anji's staple combo routes. From higher hits, <code>{{clr|D|2D}} > {{clr|S|236S}}~{{clr|D|D}}</code> works on everyone, and will even let you link normals from {{clr|3|S}} Fuujin's floorslide.

When you think of Anji, you probably think of Fuujin. Fuujin is Anji's prime move, leading to damage, bridging combos, and has followups that can be used on hit, block, and even whiff, leading to different setups or making Fuujin safe. The {{clr|3|S}} version doesn't have quite the same versatility of the {{clr|4|H}} version, but it is faster and can be used on occasion against players who can predict and reversal through {{clr|4|H}} Fuujin.


''Slides opponent on air hit (untechable for 40F, slide for 20F). Can cancel into followup attacks 28F onwards.''
In the corner, {{clr|3|S}} Fuujin can be looped on many characters (most notably Potemkin and Testament, where it can fund and lead into unblockable loops) for high damage, great meter gain, and Anji's signature okizeme.
----
----
{{clr|4|H}} Version encompasses everything that Anji is. Strike invulnerable for over half of its startup, launches and wallbounces on hit, and has all the same followups. Used by itself, it will go through quite a few things, forcing players to avoid just tossing projectiles or long range normals in your face due to the invincibility. Just throwing it out will net you quite a few rewards when it works, particularly on counter hit.  
{{clr|4|H}} Fuujin is highly threatening in neutral, boasting enough forward movement and invuln to blow through preemptive pokes and fast projectiles, though reactive and highly active moves will win out in these situations. With this partial invuln, it can also be used as a reversal, albeit a flawed one, losing to delayed meaties and throws. Proper use of {{clr|4|H}} Fuujin on wakeup can leave opponents scared to pressure you, especially when paired with Anji's wakeup autoguard normals, but overuse will just hand your opponent counterhits on a silver platter.


Part of what makes Fuujin so powerful is its ability to go through and tag things in a fashion that is reminiscent of a dragon punch, but coming in horizontally. The main difference is that although it lacks full invincibility until startup, the followups lead to healthy chunks of damage, build upon his mixup, and will allow Anji to play an overbearing game against opponents who don't know how to deal with it. Defining.
On hit, {{clr|4|H}} Fuujin launches and wallbounces, which is why it sees use in basically every major combo Anji has. With proper routing and meter use (see: {{clr|D|FB}} Rin), you will be able to take every character in the game from corner to corner, while also scoring solid okizeme. Even without meter, {{clr|4|H}} Fuujin opens up opportunities for substantial air combos by linking normals off of {{clr|4|236H}}~{{clr|K|K}}.


''Initial prorate 80%. Strike invincible 1~12F. Wallbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 38F). Fully untechable on CH. Can cancel into followup attacks 33F onwards.''

This move is the best option for establishing a safe gameplan as Anji. Opponents will likely be too stunned to move the first few times you use it out of Fuujin, which can net a full pressure reset. Don't become overly reliant on it, however. The entire cast can punish Anji for using it by anti-airing or air-to-airing his ascent. Using the FRC point at 6-8F makes the move completely safe, which is useful for baiting reversal attempts.

The move's biggest downside is that it puts Anji in counterhit state until he lands, and can be readily thrown on reaction during its landing recovery. Be careful with using this move, but don't be afraid to use it if you want to wear on the opponent's mental stack.

The '''low/frametrap/combo ender''' option out of Fuujin. Anji sweeps his fan outwards, knocking the opponent off their feet. Nagiha is one of Anji's staple combo enders, granting a knockdown on opponents on or very near the ground, allowing for pressure midscreen and guaranteed butterfly oki in the corner. If delayed, Nagiha acts as a potent frame trap, especially against opponents preemptively trying to challenge Rin. This frame trap opens up strong combo opportunities, though meter investment may be necessary on some characters.

Low sweep followup from Fuujin
*Great for ending combos, and for continuing them in the corner.
*Frc is great for a safe way to end block strings and to combo anywhere.
*Works for a very strong frame trap


''Floats opponent on ground hit (untechable for 35F). FRC timing 23~25F.''
Nagiha's FRC is also one of Anji's best, and should be a priority for anyone playing Anji eventually. On block, Nagiha FRC is great for maintaining pressure, as using it keeps Anji safe on normal block - or you can be more aggressive and FRC into one of Anji's frame one autoguards or H Fuujin to stuff punish attempts. Against more passive opponents, it may be possible to try to retake your turn, though this will be stretching the bounds of your frame advantage quite significantly. On hit, Nagiha's FRC lets you upgrade smaller Fuujin confirms, tack on extra damage in the corner, and generate butterfly oki midscreen where it otherwise might not be possible.

The '''overhead/autoguard/knockdown''' option out of Fuujin, notable for being a level six attack on block. Rin sees some use as a tool for ending pressure safely on hesitant opponents and challenging abare, though it has a few uses in combos as well.
<gallery widths="210px" heights="210px" mode="nolines">
 
</gallery>
In pressure, much like the rest of Fuujin's followups, Rin is far too slow to be used as a real high/low mixup, and can be interrupted low or Slashbacked on reaction. That said, Rin can be quite potent as a timing mixup when opponents preemptively attempt to mash on or jump out of Fuujin, especially when paired with its ''massive'' 18f high/mid catch window and generous throw invulnerability. At the very least, it is 0 on normal block, should you be able to convince someone to hold it.

Slow overhead followup from Fuujin, all to setup some solid oki...or to fish for a disgusting counter hit. Even then, it's a way to transition into his autoguard moves during pressure with Fuujin in general.
*Alot of overhead autoguard frames and is a fat Level 6 move on block; also neutral on block unless it's been Slashbacked.
*Works well to catch opponents off-guard, but can beat out with a low.  
*Throw invincible helps to make opponents have to understand how to beat it.  


''Throw invincible 1~22F. Slams down and knocks down opponent on hit. Groundbounces opponent and fully untechable on CH. Listed Frame Adv is when opponent blocks standing (tested on Sol). Startup to hit a crouching opponent is 31F. Blockstun 21F.''
It should be noted that Rin's autoguard and throw invuln are not comprehensive; Rin can be interrupted by mids before its autoguard goes active and right before it hits (the move's frame data is somewhat misleading here; Rin takes roughly four more frames than its noted startup to connect on standing opponents), and can be thrown before it connects, which is usually aided by Rin's forward movement.


'''Autoguard''': High autoguard 8~26F. See notes *1 [[{{PAGENAME}}/Frame_Data|here]].
On hit, Rin is exclusively used as a combo ender to guarantee knockdowns, since it can hit far higher than Nagiha- directly above Anji's head- and always knocks down, giving butterfly oki from good spacings and heights. On counterhit, Rin is surprisingly awkward. It burns through a ''lot'' of RISC, meaning it stunts combo damage quite significantly, and the launch is massive but somewhat unwieldy.

A rising autoguard followup that leads to a knockdown on full connect. Kou is lightning fast, at only four frames, meaning in certain situations it can be truly inescapable. However, Kou's grounded hitbox is rather small, just covering the area above Anji's shoulders, meaning many moves can low profile it without issue (or without even meaning to). Accordingly, Kou is generally preferred as an anti-air autoguard followup, where its vertical movement and speed shine, and its weakness to low profiles is mitigated.
</gallery>
 
</tabber>
Notably, Kou builds a ''ludicrous'' amount of meter on hit, sometimes in excess of 50% if your tension pulse is good. This can work in your favor either way; savvy opponents may feel forced to burst to deny your meter gain, giving you a resource advantage, and eating the Kou will also give you a tremendous edge on resources.

On hit, Kou will lead to a knockdown with a full connect, throwing the opponent fullscreen away. Partial connects are also possible, which will allow the opponent to tech in the air above Anji - this situation is safe, but not nearly as advantageous of course. In the corner, followups are possible, albeit difficult. On block, however, Kou is disastrous, at a whopping -41f and in counterhit state until it lands. If this is baited, you may well die, so be judicious!

A horizontally advancing autoguard followup, made up of three low-level attacks followed by a single high level hit. Boasting a generous amount of strike invulnerability and lots of forward movement, Sou is regarded as Anji's choice autoguard against grounded offense. Due to its 11 frames of strike invulnerability followed by loads of lower body invulnerability, Sou can even blow through projectile-based pressure resets, allowing Anji to fully steal turns from his opponents from the smallest of gaps.
<div class="attack-info">
 
{| class="wikitable attack-data"
Due to its relatively low recovery and the high attack level of the last hit, it's possible to link off of the last hit to turn Sou hits into more substantial combos:
{{FrameDataHeader-GGACR}}
* Standing characters: {{clr|P|5P}} is a 2f link, {{clr|P|2P}} and {{clr|K|5K}} are 1f links

Sou is best punished by trying to force a whiff, though be wary of its extremely active last hit, which can catch people off guard - and will wallsplat if it counterhits. Aside from using Dead Angles, Slashbacking Sou's last hit is generally the only recourse for dealing with it once it's blocked, since the last hit is still 0 on instant block.

Sou also has an FRC during the first three active frames of the final hit, which allows for highly damaging extensions (dash {{clr|S|5S}} and {{clr|H|5H}} are both possible followups) and good corner carry. Should your opponent bait Sou, the FRC guarantees massive frame advantage on block, allows counterplay to the last hit Slashback (which is a counterhit punish otherwise), and lets you bail out of risky whiffs.

One of Anji's best combo enders. Anji leaps into the air before grabbing his opponent, switching sides, and throwing them to the floor. Depending on your combo routing, On's forced side switch can leave you facing midscreen from a corner combo, but Anji is still perfectly happy running okizeme facing into the midscreen as well. Furthermore, many of Anji's routes will deliberately side switch with the opponent ''before'' On, dropping them into the corner for a tight and well-spaced mixup.
</div>
 
<div class="attack-info">
Notably, On throws the opponent to the ground at an ideal spacing for butterfly oki on virtually everyone, with only minor timing and spacing adjustments needed; using Shitsu as soon as you land will guarantee a properly meaty hit for establishing your pressure. On also does a surprising amount of damage, even fairly deep into combos, meaning efficient routes into On will effectively let you have your cake and eat it too; damage and okizeme.
{| class="wikitable attack-data"
 
{{FrameDataHeader-GGACR}}
Though On is an air-unblockable hitgrab, meaning comparisons to {{MMC|game=GGACR|chara=Potemkin|input=623H|label=Heat Knuckle}} are somewhat common, it should be understood that On is ''not'' a primary anti-air for Anji. On is wildly unsafe to whiff, and mis-using it can lead to forfeiting otherwise highly favorable situations - stick to Anji's other excellent anti-airs, such as {{clr|P|5P}}, {{clr|P|6P}}, or {{clr|D|5D}}'s autoguard.

One of Anji's main combo enders.
*Deals great damage.
*Gives great oki spacing.
*Has a useful option select with its frc [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYLpSKweKSg Example]
*Can be useful to catch opponents jumping.  


''Anji is airborne from 9F onwards. Fully untechable on hit. FRC timing 11~13F.''
Importantly, On has an FRC point from 11-13f, right as the grab would connect during its first three active frames. This gives Anji an incredibly strong OS against bursting his combo enders, since if the opponent doesn't burst, On will simply connect and grant you okizeme. If they do burst, however, you will FRC as On whiffs through their burst, able to block or throw their burst. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYLpSKweKSg Here's an example.]

Kai represents a pair of advancing jumps, both of which hit overhead and can cross up opponents. Both are slightly plus, and can be used as pressure resets or as mixup tools, though they are readily interruptible and will not guarantee Anji offense on block.
|-
----
{{AttackVersion|name={{clr|1|P}}}}
{{clr|P|P}} Kai is a short advancing hop that can cross up at close range. It hits as it lands, and will bounce opponents upwards with a small launch on hit. Due to its (relative to {{clr|K|K}} Kai) speed and short trajectory, it can crush many attempts at abare, especially with crouching jabs and sweeps.

==== ====
{{clr|1|P}} version is short range crossup overhead tool which can be a major pain for those unfamiliar with it. Works in pressure since it's advantageous by a sliver. However it can be airthrown on prediction, so let the mystery remain. Frame advantage varies with opponent's character height.
 
''Anji is airborne 4~27F. Feet invincible 22~27F. Knocks down opponent on hit.''
----
----
{{clr|2|K}} version is less safe and more pronounced since Anji jumps much higher. It needs to start from much farther out in order to work as an ambiguous crossup, and is a less safe option on IB. Unlike the {{clr|1|P}} version, it has an FRC which can make it safer or lead to more unexpected mixups like land to throw, airdash back to crossup, etc.
{{clr|K|K}} Kai is a massive leap with much more vertical and horizontal travel than {{clr|P|P}} Kai, though it is also slower. It hits on the way down rather than upon landing, which makes it less safe on tall characters since it will hit relatively earlier. {{clr|K|K}} Kai sees use as a pressure reset and crossup, much like {{clr|P|P}} Kai, though it also works as niche tool for navigating around committal buttons with lots of horizontal reach, which Anji can normally struggle to deal with.  


Both versions are much more rewarding on Counter Hit, and will work wonders against those scared to press buttons when their guard gauge is flashing. Used in exchange with one another and with some discretion, you'll get much out of this move.
{{clr|K|K}} Kai also has an FRC right as Anji begins to descend. This FRC retains Anji's air actions, allowing him to airdash and jump, letting him leverage more complex overheads or empty lows from Kai. This FRC will also let Anji bail out of a Kai attempt if he thinks he's going to be intercepted, or wants to bait an autopiloted punish/interrupt.


''Anji is airborne 9F onwards. Groundbounces opponent on hit (untechable for 40F). High groundbounce and fully untechable on CH. FRC timing 23~25F. Listed Frame Adv is for a standing block (tested on Sol). Auto Jump Install. Anji automatically turns to face the opponent after FRC.''

Orb special. Tiger Knee'd, you gain access to a fantastic overhead which bounces on hit, and leads to damage on RC or counter hit.

FB Shitsu is a metered sidegrade of Shitsu with slightly different, albeit more powerful, uses compared to standard Shitsu.
 
It travels slightly faster and significantly further, going roughly one full screen.


''Ground bounces opponent on hit (untechable for 60F). High groundbounce and fully untechable on CH. Anji is in CH state 1~48F. Hitstop 6F. Fastest possible TK Shin:Nishiki has startup: 17F, Frame Adv: -29F.''
Rather than trading with projectiles like Shitsu, FB Shitsu will go clean through them, deleting projectile hits it passes through. For special projectiles like Justice's {{MMC|game=GGACR|chara=Justice|input=22X|label=Nukes}} or Venom's {{MMC|game=GGACR|chara=Venom|input=2141236S|label=Dark Angel}}, FB Shitsu will simply not interact and pass through. This makes FB Shitsu a potent anti-zoning tool, where you can carve a line through another character's space control, or force them into the air to avoid it.
</div>

<br style="clear:both;"/>


== Force Breaks ==
The descending second and third hits of FB Shitsu are overheads rather than mids, allowing for high/low unblockables when paired with a low guard break like {{clr|S|2S}}, though you do need to hold your opponent in place between FB Shitsu's initial mid hit and later overhead hits. Some unblockable sequences include:
===<big>FB Shitsu</big>===
* <code>FB Shitsu (first hit) > {{clr|S|5S}} > delay {{clr|S|2S}} (guard break) > {{clr|H|5H}} > {{clr|H|236H}}</code> - 'Standard' unblockable

Butterfly on an acid trip. After the transformation, it turns into an overhead, creating Anji's unblockable setups. These are difficult to actually perform, though, as FB Shitsu has significantly more recovery than regular Shitsu. It also travels much farther and slightly faster, though, so it can be used to create setups from much farther out than regular Butterfly.


The additional property of blowing through other projectiles is a nice bonus as well, making this a justified option to throw out in neutral despite the cost, as it will generally force the opponent to deal with it due to the increased range. Keep in mind that you'll probably want to also bait Dead Angles or reversals when they have the resources.
It must be understood that FB Shitsu is not a flat upgrade over regular Shitsu, and it doesn't work in the same situations. Accordingly, FB Shitsu is also not a good 'correction' tool; using it will not salvage situations where you fail to set up Shitsu properly - its higher travel speed and longer recovery will just derail missed setups further.

At face value, {{clr|D|FB}} Kou looks like a souped-up version of Kou and little else. In practice, it is one of Anji's most powerful defensive tools. During {{clr|D|FB}} Kou, Anji rapidly ascends before performing a special version of Shin, knocking the opponent down.


This will tag people not paying attention after a blocked Fuujin, though the FB flash will usually give away your intent. However, it's almost entirely throw invincible (though the first frame generally won't matter since they'll usually be in blockstun from Fuujin). A move you'll be using a lot.
{{clr|D|FB}} Kou essentially merges the best features of Sou and Kou. It shares Sou's 11 frames of strike invulnerability and to-the-floor hitbox (even able to hit {{MMC|game=GGACR|chara=Sol Badguy|input=214S|label=Grand Viper}}), and pairs it with Kou's four-frame startup and rising trajectory. This combination of speed and invulnerability makes this move Anji's strongest tool for discouraging and punishing any sort of gap or read/guess on a meaty.


''Throw invincible 2~25F. Ground bounces opponent on hit (untechable for 60F). Listed Frame Adv is for standing block (tested on Sol). Startup is 25F to hit a crouching opponent (tested on Sol). ''
On block, {{clr|D|FB}} Kou is quite unsafe, but can be difficult to punish for unprepared players and some characters, since Anji recovers in the air well above superjump height for most characters, and retains his air actions.


'''Autoguard''': High autoguard 2~20F. See notes *1 [[{{PAGENAME}}/Frame_Data|here]].
On hit, {{clr|D|FB}} deals a substantial amount of damage (108 to Sol) and knocks down, giving you block pressure or slightly disadvantaged butterfly oki ({{MMC|game=GGACR|chara=Sol Badguy|input=623S|label=Volcanic Viper}}, for example, will punish an attempted butterfly).

Not as impressive as it looks, but it comes with a few nice bonuses. It's useful for catching people messing around at the top of the screen or stalling out, and on hit, you can use any of your air movement options immediately after it lands. The invincibility is nice too if they expect it while they're playing around in the air. You can airdash out of it instantly and continue into another combo.


The slow startup won't combo out of anything aside from {{clr|5|5D}}, which already has limits in its use as an overhead. It does have an FRC with similar utility to regular On, but spending half a bar is not worth it in most situations. A situational move, but might be good given the right chance.

''10~18F low profile, 19~28F strike invincible. Knocks down opponent on hit (untechable for 120F). Anji is in crouching state during landing recovery. FRC timing 19~20F. Anji can move before landing.''

Like normal On, but with much slower startup and ''much'' higher vertical reach. Situationally useful when your opponent likes to stall on the top of the screen or as a callout against carless airdashing.
*Its start up makes it hard to combo into compared to normal On. Not a viable alternative to normal On as a combo ender.  
*FRC works similar to normal On, but at 50 tension this can be difficult to justify.

Anji pulls out a large fan, before spinning it multiple times and closing it on the opponent and forcing hard knockdown. Sai's damage ranges from decent to somewhat underwhelming, but with 12 hits, it is superb as a guts crush option, and completely workable as a damage dump from shorter confirms. From stray pokes, especially on normal hit and at range, Sai is actually Anji's best option in some situations - and capitalizing on Anji's ability to late cancel his normals makes confirming much easier.

Tacked on damage combo ender, usually after On. It has an FRC for continuation, and the window is relatively wide, but otherwise you probably won't see or use this much. It's got some invincibility on it before and after startup, but it's not full body and it's not throw invincible, so this move isn't much of a reversal. It's an easy followup but generally is only recommended if it's going to kill.


''Above chest invincible 4~6F. Upper body invincible 7~9F. Strike invincible 10F. 11th hit knocks down opponent. Anji is in CH state during move. Dizzy modifier x0. Hitstop 0F. Can pass through projectiles. Projectile appears on 10F. FRC timing 66~70F. Projectile guranteed to activate after 10F. Giant fan will activate on 53F if the 11th hit hits (not blocked). Giant fan does 50 damage, attack level 3, startup 27F, active 24F, fully untechable.''
Sai does have some upper body and strike invulnerability, but not enough to allow it to be used as a reversal of any sort. The projectile will stay out even if Anji is hit, meaning it is possible force some hugely favorable trades, especially against projectile-based pressure resets, where you can simply recover and pick up the opponent with On to guarantee strong okizeme.

A super version of Kai. This overdrive stomp is unreactable after the flash, meaning that unless they were already blocking, or were in the middle of something with invincibility or a hitbox that will clash, this move will land if it makes contact. It's also a gimmicky option for getting out of things and can be used to make ambiguous crossups similar to Kai for those who preemptively block it. It's got some lengthy startup though, and even though it comes out on frame 0 after the flash, they can react to the jumping animation just like regular Kai.  


It also doesn't have invincibility fully from startup, so Anji will generally want to rely more on his powerful Dead Angle over any of his overdrives to get out of pressure. A move which looks kind of good on paper and will work on occasion, but generally not the best use of meter.
On block, Sai is wildly unsafe, allowing for fairly reliable counterhit punishes by the entire cast.


''Strike invincible 4~20F. Knocks down opponent on hit. Opponent cannot input anything from after super flash until the 3rd active frame. Must charge down for at least 40F to perform Tenjinashi. Listed Frame Adv is for standing block (tested on Sol). All hits outside of the 2nd hit have hitstop 0. For the follow up strikes after the knockdown (1st hit), if the opponent was ground bounced, the spin will hit them in the air, else they'll take the hits on the ground
Sai also has an FRC at the end of the attack portion of the move, right as Anji stands up, which is surprisingly useful for a super FRC. On block, Sai FRC will bail you out, and potentially even allow for a cheeky overhead attempt - especially rewarding since Sai will ''seriously'' crank the RISC gauge. On hit, Sai FRC will let you continue your combo, including giving you an unburstable On, which is great for taking burst off the table until your next round of okizeme.

A powered-up version of Kai. Anji leaps midscreen and performs a fast, multi-hit stomp on his way down. This super is somewhat mediocre, as Anji has better uses for meter and better ways to move about the screen. It can at least be an unconventional way to get out of the corner.
*It's 0 frames after the super flash, meaning the opponent would already have to be blocking or invincible before it starts, but it takes a while for the flash to start.

Kachoufuugetsu (frequently referred to as just 'Kachou') is Anji's straightforward damage dump and burst lockout option after an autoguard. Kachou is generally considered underwhelming, given it is slower than {{clr|D|FB}} Kou and only deals slightly more damage for twice the cost. However, it still does have a few distinct advantages - it is completely unburstable, zero frames post-flash (meaning it locks out inputs until the first hit has a chance to connect), and has some truly ludicrous horizontal and vertical range.
{{#lst:{{PAGENAME}}/Data|Autoguard 63214S}}
|}
==== ====
Guaranteed to connect once it makes contact, assuming they're not still in the middle of something invincible. Kachoufuugetsu will come out during hitstop, simliar to Baiken's guard cancels, meaning that this will work even against moves with minimal recovery like jabs, despite its listed startup. Since it only comes out on autoguard, you'll have to predict or know that you'll autoguard something considering the time it takes to perform the motion.


This can be useful to simply land an unburstable super, or you can FRC it before the last hit to do something extended, but that's generally not worth the meter and you'll prefer to just take the knockdown.
Kachou also has an FRC immediately before its last hit, which elevates Kachou's damage from decent to astonishing, though it does require the investment of 75 meter total, or 100 if you want to use {{clr|D|FB}} Rin, which is generally inadvisable unless it will end a round outright or assist with a massive comeback. The price associated with elevating Kachou's damage past that of Anji's B&B combos has basically singlehandedly rendered it obsolete when Anji has faster, scarier, and cheaper options available.


''Fully invincible 1~22F. Strike invincible 23~70F. 1st-3rd hits stagger opponent on hit (Max 65F). Opponent's inputs are frozen until the 2nd active frame of the 1st hit. 4th hit knocks down opponent. Anji is in CH state during move. Dizzy modifier x1.5. FRC timing 63~65F. Can only be performed during the hitstop of an autoguarded move, or after a normal autoguard attack hits or is blocked.''
Kachou has a unique quirk where, despite being 'autoguard-only,' it can be canceled into after an autoguard normal hits, provided the autoguard itself did catch something.

Overview

Overview

Anji is an all-rounder character who specializes in hard reads. With a large offensive toolkit based around highly-specialized moves, Anji is the "thinking man's" character who excels at understanding his opponent and crushing their attempts to contest him.

Anji's main mechanic is his autoguard, which allows him to block during portions of some of his normal attacks. Strong use of Autoguard normals allows Anji to punch through his opponents offense quite easily or bait them into frametraps. Helping this along is Anji's signature FuujinGGAC Anji Fuujin.pngGuardMidStartup20Recovery27Advantage-16, a fast lariat that can be followed up with a number of options. Fuujin is useful for anything from pressure to mixups to neutral, making it an excellent move to rely on throughout a match. After Anji gets a hard knockdown, he can perform ShitsuGGAC Anji Shitsu.pngGuardAllStartup21RecoveryTotal 48Advantage-7 to keep his opponent blocking while he runs up to perform a mixup or engage in pressure. Anji has many solid mixup options after a knockdown, allowing him to perform a powerful offensive game.

Anji has a lot of tools for specific situations. For example, while Anji can call out high and mid attacks with plenty of autoguard moves, his only autoguard low normals are 3K, 3S and 2H, all of which are committal. To successfully autoguard a move, Anji must make an active prediction for how his opponent will react to any given situation, but the special autoguard follows are powerful and rewarding.

By that same token, Anji has several highly unique properties that change how he approaches basic situations on a fundamental level. While his jump-ins aren't particularly strong, he has a strong IAD threat in neutral with buttons like j.PGGAC Anji jP.pngGuardHigh/AirStartup8Recovery3Advantage-, and can use j.DGGAC Anji jD.pngGuardHigh/AirStartup10Recovery14+6 after landingAdvantage-'s air stall to bait and punish anti-airs with falling normals. His unique superjump is extremely horizontal, giving Anji a potent alternative to double jumps and airdashes for navigating the screen. His bad guard bar stats and strong defensive tools in tandem necessitate that Anji approach defense more proactively than most.

Anji's low execution, strong fundamentals, and accessible toolkit make him a great pick for both new players and veterans. Players who enjoy hard reads, strong offense, and solid defense will love Anji and his fanciful fighting style.

 Anji Mito is a specialist famous for Fuujin, his unique Auto Guards, and purposed-tailored normals.

Pros
Cons
  • Specialist Attacks: Anji's buttons reward specific callouts. His normals are oppressive when leveraged properly because of their combination of counterhit reward, autoguard, and shutdown potential.
  • Belligerent Defense: Fuujin, Autoguard, and a powerful Throw OS A shorthand for "Option Select"A situation where you perform an input and the game will "select an option" automatically depending on what the other character did. enable disrespectful style in which Anji can blow through attacks and make the opponent play his game.
  • Great Anti-Airs: Both in terms of anti-airs and air-to-airs, Anji has it made. He's great at harassing opponents who jump with jumps of his own, and he has great anti-airs if he chooses to plant his feet.
  • Meter Dump: Strong and linear meter use means he can turn just about any touch into 150+ damage, corner carry, and oki on almost the entire cast. He also has damaging, match-practical unblockables against the entire roster from his key knockdowns.
  • Gatling God: His permissive gatling table and uniquely delayable gatling timings give Anji an unmatched degree of freedom and expression in how he sequences his normals.
  • Clean Movement: Thanks to a good run speed, extremely horizontal super jump arc, and momentum-altering moves, Anji can work himself into just the right spot on the screen.
  • Over-Specialized: Anji's normals tend to be geared towards strong niche uses, trading properties like autoguard and great counterhit reward for compromises elsewhere that make them extremely risky when misused.
  • Hitbox Issues: Anji struggles to deal with low profile moves more than most, beyond the realm of traditionally strong low moves like  Sol's Ground ViperGGAC Sol 214S.pngGuardLow×7, MidStartup17Recovery37Advantage-21 - strong sweeps are a consistent and exploitable pain point.
  • Guard Bar: Anji has the worst guard bar stats in the game, which can lead to disproportionately damaging cash-outs on hits after even short pressure sequences

Unique Mechanics

Autoguard

Autoguard (also known as Guard Points or GP)

Several of Anji's moves have a property where they will automatically block moves that make contact, depending on the type of move: Low Autoguard will only block lows, and High Autoguard will block mid and high attacks. He can cancel his move into one of four Autoguard Followups if he blocks something during autoguard, and these are very fast and in some cases are guaranteed to connect.





Unique Gatling Options

Unique Gatling Options

Anji's unique Gatling options and array of command normals give him freeform blockstrings and unique combo options.

  • Late Cancel - Anji's normals have a property in which they can all be cancelled at any point during their active and recovery frames into a normal or special move as long as they made contact, giving Anji the ability to turn any gatling string into a Frame Trap. Example link, turn on the CC for explanation
  • 3S Cancel - 3S is a particular normal that can be cancelled during frames 7-9 of its startup into 5S or 5H, allowing for very unique blockstrings and cancels that other characters cannot perform. Example Link
  • Wide Gatling Tree - Anji has a large number of command normals and gatlings, along with many ways to get into them. This along with 3S cancelling allows him to apply strong mix, frame trap, and crank guard bar really well.

Starter Guide

Need help getting started? Go to this page for information targeted at new players. It covers easy combos, key moves, and what to do after you knock the opponent down.
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
ProjectileIndicates an entity that exists separately from the character has become active. Usually something like a Fireball A projectile which usually travels slowly across the screen in a horizontal path above the ground.. Active
CancelA window in which to cancel a move. Can be varied in usage. Window

Normal Moves

5P

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
10 Mid 4 3 8 +3
Total: 14

Anji's 5P is a god-tier jab, undercut by its ability to be crouched by most of the cast. It is large, lightning fast, and prone to favorable trades due to its high attack level.

5P has limited options for gatlings, generally leaving you reliant on 3S cancels for more substantial grounded conversions. 5P will, however, freely combo into 5H on crouching hit and counterhit, making it superb for fast punishes on crouch-recovery moves like  Ky's Greed SeverGGAC Ky GreedSever.pngGuardHigh/AirStartup18Recovery5+11 after landingAdvantage-14 or  Slayer's sweepGGAC Slayer 2D.pngGuardLowStartup7Recovery12Advantage-8.

Furthermore, the fact that Potemkin and Justice cannot crouch block under 5P makes it positively domineering in those matchups, letting Anji convert hits that would be inconsequential in other matchups into corner-to-corner carry.

  • Is a great anti-air that can catch a lot of approaches.
  • Will whiff on all crouching characters except Potemkin (always hits) and on Justice (hits block/proximity block, whiffs on neutral crouch)

5H is one of Anji's most important normals. It boasts decent range and a high attack level, and forces crouch on hit, opening the door to some of Anji's most essential combos. 5H is guaranteed to combo into 236H on grounded hit, launching opponents for a great blend of damage and corner carry, especially with meter invested. Put simply, routing into 5H is part of your win condition in many matchups.

On airborne hits, 5H knocks down, where you can take advantage of Anji's delayed cancels by late canceling into 236P to get some of Anji's best okizeme.

On block, 5H is a little more nuanced. Its high attack level means it leads to a good amount of pushback, but cancels from 5H can be quite hard to challenge. Accordingly, using 5H in block pressure can be quite powerful when applied well, but may force you to disengage or lean on 236H to make up for lost space.

  • Generally what you want to combo into after a mixup.
  • Has hitboxes on both sides of Anji - reverse hits will send special cancels the wrong way, but gatlings will auto-correct

6K

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Invuln
28 Mid 11 6 18 -10 1~7F High Guardpoint
Total: 34

6K stands alone as Anji's only frame one high/mid autoguard, and as such, is one of his most used, overused, respected, and counterplayed options. Its frame one high/mid autoguard means it can be used as a reversal when paired with its followups, though if your opponent delays their meaty or goes low, you will get counterhit. Additionally, 6K is quite potent when used as a callout against frame traps and projectile-based pressure resets.

Aside from being used as a reversal with autoguard followups, 6K sees some use as an anti-air and anti-poking autoguard due to its short length compared to 6H and 5D, though 6K suffers from a relatively small catch window, and 6S has more use as an actual poke with an autoguard.

6K's only gatling is 3P, which acts as a wide frame trap (7f gap) to discourage punishment when 6K is not cancelled. While not a gatling, 6K can also be late cancelled into 5K on hit, block, or whiff during its last 10 frames, which leaves a 5f gap on block as an alternate frame trap.

6K also has an FRC on its first two active frames, which are somewhat niche but quite powerful. First and foremost, it allows for a much greater degree of safety, since the FRC is only four frames after 6K's autoguard window ends. On block, 6K FRC is a whopping +13, which is a huge amount of pressure to squeeze out of an 11f move with many gatlings into it. This advantage applies to combos as well, where it can be used to extend ground combos or put together character-specific extensions after On.

This FRC shares its timing with autoguard hitstop should Anji catch something with 6K, meaning the following option selects are available:

  • 6K > FRC (PKS) - Kou on autoguard, FRC on block/whiff
  • 6K > FRC (KSH) - Sou on autoguard, FRC on block/whiff
  • 6K > FRC (Any Three+D - FB Kou on autoguard, FRC on block/whiff; must be precise or you risk using your Gold Burst

A slow move with a late mid guard point, 6H is generally used as a frame trap on block and combo stabilizer in Fuujin loops.

Use it to call out backdashes or to mix up when close by FRCing it immediately into throw, which starts Butterfly pressure.

Combos into S Fuujin on normal hit or H Fuujin on counterhit, both on and near the ground, with some per-character variation. This is especially useful on characters that can be difficult to S Fuujin loop, where 6H has enough hitstop to allow for height adjustments by delaying your cancel into S Fuujin.

Similar to 6K, 6H's FRC overlaps with its autoguard, meaning the following option selects are possible:

j.D is a powerful air button, useful for just about everything except jumping in. Notably, j.D halts Anji's horizontal and vertical movement early in its startup frames, though this movement halting is not frame one; j.D cannot be FDC'd in a useful manner. This air stall is superb for keeping your movement unpredictable and baiting anti-airs, especially since Anji recovers fast enough to airdash or jump after even the lowest of j.Ds.

j.D is shockingly disjointed, making it a potent air-to-air, especially when paired with its movement stopping and Anji's special superjump, effectively letting you place a giant stop sign anywhere in the air. On normal hit, j.D knocks the opponent away with a highly untechable hit, capable of knocking down low to the ground, or comboing into j.214P for a knockdown. On counterhit, j.D is massively untechable and will wallstick should the opponent reach the wall.

j.D also has a special property where it can be canceled into any non-j.D air normal from frame 23 onward, allowing for character-specific followups, including j.D > landing j.K/S > 5P for a rejump, or j.D > j.H for a knockdown. Outside of combos, this recovery cancel can be used to capitalize on baited anti-airs by landing on the opponent with a button like j.S.

18, 16×2 All 21 56 Total 48 -7
Total: 48

A slow moving projectile that serves as one of Anji's most important specials. Upon input, Anji sends out a butterfly at about leg height. If it comes in contact with the opponent or a projectile, the butterfly transforms into a hawk before leaping into the sky and falling to the ground. The hawk projectile hits twice on the way down, both of them as Mids.

Shitsu has two purposes. The first is in neutral as a high committal zoning option for a grounded approach. While the projectile is slow, if enemies interact with it at all then they will have to deal with the hawk followup. While not amazing, using Shitsu to gain space can be a decent way for Anji to make his way in against opponents who like to stay on the ground.

Shitsu's second purpose, and its more important one, is in okizeme. Upon getting hard knockdown on his opponent, Anji can throw out Shitsu and guarantee a mixup attempt. Many of Anji's single-hit mixup moves, like 3P or 3K, can be thrown out inbetween the butterfly hitting the opponent and the hawk falling onto them, which will allow a full combo with good timing. Shitsu forms the backbone of Anji's mixup game and is an extremely important move to utilize nearly every chance you can get.

Shitsu has a few weaknesses. Not only is it slow, but the projectile also disappears if Anji is hit. Thus, Anji players will have to correctly space and time their butterfly oki to the best of their ability to avoid a reversal attempt. 6K can help with checking for reversal attempts in butterfly oki.

Total: 44
Total: 49

Fuujin is arguably Anji's most important tool, and alongside his autoguards, what really defines his kit. Fuujin is an advancing and highly damaging lunging strike that sees use across every facet of Anji's game plan. S Fuujin and H Fuujin are pretty distinct, each with different uses.

On block, both Fuujins share the same flaw; they lock you into the same set of five reactable followups, each with well-understood counterplay. While ill-prepared or scared opponents may not challenge your followups, savvy opponents will be able to snipe you out of most followups with ease. Regularly routing into Fuujin followups on block will leave you dependent on an ignorant/scared opponent, ambitious conditioning, or meter use to consistently stay safe. At the same time, Fuujin is a great gap closer in block pressure, and can be used to mitigate natural pushback and faultless defense alike.


S Fuujin is one of the key features of Anji's grounded and corner combos. Owing to its lack of invulnerability and minimal horizontal movement, S Fuujin does not see use in neutral and pressure like H Fuujin.

On grounded hit, S Fuujin combos into Nagiha and nothing else. On air hit (including 2D), however, S Fuujin will floorslide. On most charactersEveryone except A.B.A., Johnny, Order-Sol, Potemkin, and Robo-Ky, 2D > 236S will let you combo into FB Rin for a launch, which is one of Anji's staple combo routes. From higher hits, 2D > 236S~D works on everyone, and will even let you link normals from S Fuujin's floorslide.

In the corner, S Fuujin can be looped on many characters (most notably Potemkin and Testament, where it can fund and lead into unblockable loops) for high damage, great meter gain, and Anji's signature okizeme.


H Fuujin is highly threatening in neutral, boasting enough forward movement and invuln to blow through preemptive pokes and fast projectiles, though reactive and highly active moves will win out in these situations. With this partial invuln, it can also be used as a reversal, albeit a flawed one, losing to delayed meaties and throws. Proper use of H Fuujin on wakeup can leave opponents scared to pressure you, especially when paired with Anji's wakeup autoguard normals, but overuse will just hand your opponent counterhits on a silver platter.

On hit, H Fuujin launches and wallbounces, which is why it sees use in basically every major combo Anji has. With proper routing and meter use (see: FB Rin), you will be able to take every character in the game from corner to corner, while also scoring solid okizeme. Even without meter, H Fuujin opens up opportunities for substantial air combos by linking normals off of 236H~K.

The somewhat safe/pressure reset option out of Fuujin. Anji leaps into the air and throws down several fans in a cone below him. Can be airdashed out of, which allows Anji to back off or press forward depending on the situation.

This move is the best option for establishing a safe gameplan as Anji. Opponents will likely be too stunned to move the first few times you use it out of Fuujin, which can net a full pressure reset. Don't become overly reliant on it, however. The entire cast can punish Anji for using it by anti-airing or air-to-airing his ascent. Using the FRC point at 6-8F makes the move completely safe, which is useful for baiting reversal attempts.

Ichishiki can help you figure out the blocking habits of your opponents if you use it wisely. Make sure to mix it in with the other followups to keep your offense fresh.

The throw/anti-low option out of Fuujin. Anji leaps a great distance forwards before landing in neutral. Often puts Anji at just the right space for a throw, which can lead into solid butterfly oki. Anji can potentially cross up depending on spacing.

This move is great for getting into your opponents head. The threat of a throw or crossup makes this move very useful in butterfly oki mixups or even general Fuujin pressure. The leap going over lows allows Anji to punish opponents who are trying to fuzzy low his other followups.

The move's biggest downside is that it puts Anji in counterhit state until he lands, and can be readily thrown on reaction during its landing recovery. Be careful with using this move, but don't be afraid to use it if you want to wear on the opponent's mental stack.

The low/frametrap/combo ender option out of Fuujin. Anji sweeps his fan outwards, knocking the opponent off their feet. Nagiha is one of Anji's staple combo enders, granting a knockdown on opponents on or very near the ground, allowing for pressure midscreen and guaranteed butterfly oki in the corner. If delayed, Nagiha acts as a potent frame trap, especially against opponents preemptively trying to challenge Rin. This frame trap opens up strong combo opportunities, though meter investment may be necessary on some characters.

Nagiha's FRC is also one of Anji's best, and should be a priority for anyone playing Anji eventually. On block, Nagiha FRC is great for maintaining pressure, as using it keeps Anji safe on normal block - or you can be more aggressive and FRC into one of Anji's frame one autoguards or H Fuujin to stuff punish attempts. Against more passive opponents, it may be possible to try to retake your turn, though this will be stretching the bounds of your frame advantage quite significantly. On hit, Nagiha's FRC lets you upgrade smaller Fuujin confirms, tack on extra damage in the corner, and generate butterfly oki midscreen where it otherwise might not be possible.

In pressure, much like the rest of Fuujin's followups, Rin is far too slow to be used as a real high/low mixup, and can be interrupted low or Slashbacked on reaction. That said, Rin can be quite potent as a timing mixup when opponents preemptively attempt to mash on or jump out of Fuujin, especially when paired with its massive 18f high/mid catch window and generous throw invulnerability. At the very least, it is 0 on normal block, should you be able to convince someone to hold it.

It should be noted that Rin's autoguard and throw invuln are not comprehensive; Rin can be interrupted by mids before its autoguard goes active and right before it hits (the move's frame data is somewhat misleading here; Rin takes roughly four more frames than its noted startup to connect on standing opponents), and can be thrown before it connects, which is usually aided by Rin's forward movement.

On hit, Rin is exclusively used as a combo ender to guarantee knockdowns, since it can hit far higher than Nagiha- directly above Anji's head- and always knocks down, giving butterfly oki from good spacings and heights. On counterhit, Rin is surprisingly awkward. It burns through a lot of RISC, meaning it stunts combo damage quite significantly, and the launch is massive but somewhat unwieldy.

A rising autoguard followup that leads to a knockdown on full connect. Kou is lightning fast, at only four frames, meaning in certain situations it can be truly inescapable. However, Kou's grounded hitbox is rather small, just covering the area above Anji's shoulders, meaning many moves can low profile it without issue (or without even meaning to). Accordingly, Kou is generally preferred as an anti-air autoguard followup, where its vertical movement and speed shine, and its weakness to low profiles is mitigated.

Notably, Kou builds a ludicrous amount of meter on hit, sometimes in excess of 50% if your tension pulse is good. This can work in your favor either way; savvy opponents may feel forced to burst to deny your meter gain, giving you a resource advantage, and eating the Kou will also give you a tremendous edge on resources.

On hit, Kou will lead to a knockdown with a full connect, throwing the opponent fullscreen away. Partial connects are also possible, which will allow the opponent to tech in the air above Anji - this situation is safe, but not nearly as advantageous of course. In the corner, followups are possible, albeit difficult. On block, however, Kou is disastrous, at a whopping -41f and in counterhit state until it lands. If this is baited, you may well die, so be judicious!

Total: 44

A horizontally advancing autoguard followup, made up of three low-level attacks followed by a single high level hit. Boasting a generous amount of strike invulnerability and lots of forward movement, Sou is regarded as Anji's choice autoguard against grounded offense. Due to its 11 frames of strike invulnerability followed by loads of lower body invulnerability, Sou can even blow through projectile-based pressure resets, allowing Anji to fully steal turns from his opponents from the smallest of gaps.

Due to its relatively low recovery and the high attack level of the last hit, it's possible to link off of the last hit to turn Sou hits into more substantial combos:

  • Standing characters: 5P is a 2f link, 2P and 5K are 1f links
  • Crouching characters: 5P whiffs on most crouchers, 2P and 5K are 2f links

Sou is best punished by trying to force a whiff, though be wary of its extremely active last hit, which can catch people off guard - and will wallsplat if it counterhits. Aside from using Dead Angles, Slashbacking Sou's last hit is generally the only recourse for dealing with it once it's blocked, since the last hit is still 0 on instant block.

Sou also has an FRC during the first three active frames of the final hit, which allows for highly damaging extensions (dash 5S and 5H are both possible followups) and good corner carry. Should your opponent bait Sou, the FRC guarantees massive frame advantage on block, allows counterplay to the last hit Slashback (which is a counterhit punish otherwise), and lets you bail out of risky whiffs.

Total: 54

One of Anji's best combo enders. Anji leaps into the air before grabbing his opponent, switching sides, and throwing them to the floor. Depending on your combo routing, On's forced side switch can leave you facing midscreen from a corner combo, but Anji is still perfectly happy running okizeme facing into the midscreen as well. Furthermore, many of Anji's routes will deliberately side switch with the opponent before On, dropping them into the corner for a tight and well-spaced mixup.

Notably, On throws the opponent to the ground at an ideal spacing for butterfly oki on virtually everyone, with only minor timing and spacing adjustments needed; using Shitsu as soon as you land will guarantee a properly meaty hit for establishing your pressure. On also does a surprising amount of damage, even fairly deep into combos, meaning efficient routes into On will effectively let you have your cake and eat it too; damage and okizeme.

Though On is an air-unblockable hitgrab, meaning comparisons to Heat KnuckleGGAC Potemkin 623H.pngGuardUnblockable, FD×3Startup14Recovery22Advantage- are somewhat common, it should be understood that On is not a primary anti-air for Anji. On is wildly unsafe to whiff, and mis-using it can lead to forfeiting otherwise highly favorable situations - stick to Anji's other excellent anti-airs, such as 5P, 6P, or 5D's autoguard.

Importantly, On has an FRC point from 11-13f, right as the grab would connect during its first three active frames. This gives Anji an incredibly strong OS against bursting his combo enders, since if the opponent doesn't burst, On will simply connect and grant you okizeme. If they do burst, however, you will FRC as On whiffs through their burst, able to block or throw their burst. Here's an example.

Kai represents a pair of advancing jumps, both of which hit overhead and can cross up opponents. Both are slightly plus, and can be used as pressure resets or as mixup tools, though they are readily interruptible and will not guarantee Anji offense on block.


P Kai is a short advancing hop that can cross up at close range. It hits as it lands, and will bounce opponents upwards with a small launch on hit. Due to its (relative to K Kai) speed and short trajectory, it can crush many attempts at abare, especially with crouching jabs and sweeps.


K Kai is a massive leap with much more vertical and horizontal travel than P Kai, though it is also slower. It hits on the way down rather than upon landing, which makes it less safe on tall characters since it will hit relatively earlier. K Kai sees use as a pressure reset and crossup, much like P Kai, though it also works as niche tool for navigating around committal buttons with lots of horizontal reach, which Anji can normally struggle to deal with.

K Kai also has an FRC right as Anji begins to descend. This FRC retains Anji's air actions, allowing him to airdash and jump, letting him leverage more complex overheads or empty lows from Kai. This FRC will also let Anji bail out of a Kai attempt if he thinks he's going to be intercepted, or wants to bait an autopiloted punish/interrupt.

FB Shitsu is a metered sidegrade of Shitsu with slightly different, albeit more powerful, uses compared to standard Shitsu.

It travels slightly faster and significantly further, going roughly one full screen.

Rather than trading with projectiles like Shitsu, FB Shitsu will go clean through them, deleting projectile hits it passes through. For special projectiles like Justice's NukesGGACR Justice 22X.pngGuardAllStartup7RecoveryTotal 51Advantage-13 or Venom's Dark AngelGGAC Venom 214236S.pngGuardAllStartup7+18Recovery10Advantage-, FB Shitsu will simply not interact and pass through. This makes FB Shitsu a potent anti-zoning tool, where you can carve a line through another character's space control, or force them into the air to avoid it.

The descending second and third hits of FB Shitsu are overheads rather than mids, allowing for high/low unblockables when paired with a low guard break like 2S, though you do need to hold your opponent in place between FB Shitsu's initial mid hit and later overhead hits. Some unblockable sequences include:

  • FB Shitsu (first hit) > 5S > delay 2S (guard break) > 5H > 236H - 'Standard' unblockable
  • FB Shitsu (first hit) > 6S > 3K > 236S/H - 'Safe' unblockable

It must be understood that FB Shitsu is not a flat upgrade over regular Shitsu, and it doesn't work in the same situations. Accordingly, FB Shitsu is also not a good 'correction' tool; using it will not salvage situations where you fail to set up Shitsu properly - its higher travel speed and longer recovery will just derail missed setups further.

Anji's main use of meter. An important piece of combo filler as it ground bounces, and leads into H Fuujin for further followups. Many of Anji's corner and midscreen combos rely on FB Rin to be accessible in order to perform them, so try and keep at least 25% meter if you can help it.

  • Effectively fully throw invul since they will likely still be in block stun from the Fuujin before the followup.
  • Can be used for mix ups but the FB flash will likely give away what you're doing to an opponent who knows Anji's options.

At face value, FB Kou looks like a souped-up version of Kou and little else. In practice, it is one of Anji's most powerful defensive tools. During FB Kou, Anji rapidly ascends before performing a special version of Shin, knocking the opponent down.

FB Kou essentially merges the best features of Sou and Kou. It shares Sou's 11 frames of strike invulnerability and to-the-floor hitbox (even able to hit Grand ViperGGAC Sol 214S-2.pngGuardLow×7, MidStartup17Recovery37Advantage-21), and pairs it with Kou's four-frame startup and rising trajectory. This combination of speed and invulnerability makes this move Anji's strongest tool for discouraging and punishing any sort of gap or read/guess on a meaty.

On block, FB Kou is quite unsafe, but can be difficult to punish for unprepared players and some characters, since Anji recovers in the air well above superjump height for most characters, and retains his air actions.

On hit, FB deals a substantial amount of damage (108 to Sol) and knocks down, giving you block pressure or slightly disadvantaged butterfly oki (Volcanic ViperGGAC Sol 623S.pngGuardMidStartup7Recovery21+10 after landingAdvantage-28, for example, will punish an attempted butterfly).

Anji pulls out a large fan, before spinning it multiple times and closing it on the opponent and forcing hard knockdown. Sai's damage ranges from decent to somewhat underwhelming, but with 12 hits, it is superb as a guts crush option, and completely workable as a damage dump from shorter confirms. From stray pokes, especially on normal hit and at range, Sai is actually Anji's best option in some situations - and capitalizing on Anji's ability to late cancel his normals makes confirming much easier.

Sai does have some upper body and strike invulnerability, but not enough to allow it to be used as a reversal of any sort. The projectile will stay out even if Anji is hit, meaning it is possible force some hugely favorable trades, especially against projectile-based pressure resets, where you can simply recover and pick up the opponent with On to guarantee strong okizeme.

On block, Sai is wildly unsafe, allowing for fairly reliable counterhit punishes by the entire cast.

Sai also has an FRC at the end of the attack portion of the move, right as Anji stands up, which is surprisingly useful for a super FRC. On block, Sai FRC will bail you out, and potentially even allow for a cheeky overhead attempt - especially rewarding since Sai will seriously crank the RISC gauge. On hit, Sai FRC will let you continue your combo, including giving you an unburstable On, which is great for taking burst off the table until your next round of okizeme.

A powered-up version of Kai. Anji leaps midscreen and performs a fast, multi-hit stomp on his way down. This super is somewhat mediocre, as Anji has better uses for meter and better ways to move about the screen. It can at least be an unconventional way to get out of the corner.

Kachoufuugetsu (frequently referred to as just 'Kachou') is Anji's straightforward damage dump and burst lockout option after an autoguard. Kachou is generally considered underwhelming, given it is slower than FB Kou and only deals slightly more damage for twice the cost. However, it still does have a few distinct advantages - it is completely unburstable, zero frames post-flash (meaning it locks out inputs until the first hit has a chance to connect), and has some truly ludicrous horizontal and vertical range.

Kachou also has an FRC immediately before its last hit, which elevates Kachou's damage from decent to astonishing, though it does require the investment of 75 meter total, or 100 if you want to use FB Rin, which is generally inadvisable unless it will end a round outright or assist with a massive comeback. The price associated with elevating Kachou's damage past that of Anji's B&B combos has basically singlehandedly rendered it obsolete when Anji has faster, scarier, and cheaper options available.

Kachou has a unique quirk where, despite being 'autoguard-only,' it can be canceled into after an autoguard normal hits, provided the autoguard itself did catch something.
