Revision as of 10:02, 3 June 2021
Guilty Bits Character Intro
Normals
5P
Frames 5-7
Frames 8-11
The slap chop. Great 5f jab good for pressure starting, combos, or mashing out. Low-key one of Kliff's best normals.
- Frequently jump cancelled for IAD mixups or IOH j.K.
- Can bait reversals slower than 4f (!!) when meatied properly.
5K
Hit 'em with the timbs
Frames 6-7
Frames 8-10
- GGXXACPR Kliff 5K-3-Hitbox.png
Frames 11-13
Short ranged launcher. Infrequent in neutral, but a useful tool for launching characters mid combo. Most importantly, this move can combo into partially charged 6[P] enabling Kliff to convert somewhat standard hits into his unreasonably high damage 6[H] routes.
- Can low crush and occasionally anti-air, but is sadly not throw immune. Use it to go over Slidehead.
- Mainly used to combo to 6{P} 236S FRC Fully Charged 6[H] for massive damage. This confirm as a general rule works on much of the cast midscreen but drops on most of the cast in the corner. This along with having other character specific variations and rules means that it's probably worth taking the time to test it out before attempting it on a new character if you are unsure.
- Useful spots to use 5k in combos include dashing up and juggling with it after a low j.H, after an impossible dust in the corner, and picking characters back up after a ground slide from FRC 236S (On some characters this can even lead to the 6{P} 236S route)
- Can be used at the end of longer routes to pop them in the air to enable c.S>Taunt oki. Take note that later the c.S gatling is delayed, the meatier the taunt will be.
- Against characters with wider sliding hurtboxes, can be linked meterlessly after 236S in the corner if you are close enough.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 90%. Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 24F).
c.S
Big AA hitbox and knockdown tool.
Frames 7-8
Frames 9-13
Good midrange combo starter and combo ender. Knocks down on air hit, mainly for combo enders, OTG 2S extensions, or a clutch anti-air.
- Usually used post 5P/5K at the end of combos to set up taunt oki.
- From air confirms, goes straight into OTG 2S > 236S.
- Forms a trifecta of IAD'able normals with 5P and 5K.
- Combos to IAD j.K on Counter Hit, and IAD j.S on crouching Counter Hit.
Additional Frame Data: Slams down opponent on air hit (untechable for 17 frames).
f.S
Start some combos from half screen
Kliff's main ranged ground poke and harassment tool. Great reach and easy confirmation to 2H or 214S.
- Very safe when blocked at range.
- Usually cancelled into either 2H, 2D, or 236P on block for pushback or frame advantage.
- Can confirm from midscreen launches that are too far away to convert into closer buttons.
- (e.g. from far j.D, 6P against extended hurtboxes, etc.)
- Be careful, as a good portion of the blade becomes part of Kliff's hurtbox.
5H
The Killer
Frames 14-16
Frames 17-19
Frames 20-22
Frames 23-25
Massive and high damage, but slow, multi purpose normal. Big damage, meterless combo starter and extension to 214S from close.
- Large coverage Anti-Air. Hits behind Kliff.
- Vacuums on air hit for tech traps or 623HxN to tack on as much damage as possible.
- Staggers on ground CH, untechable float on CH. Leads to big stuff.
- Slow startup can be beneficial for frame traps after P and K normals.
- Can convert to big extensions after an air hit 236S.
Additional Frame Data: Pulls in opponent on air hit (untechable for 18F). Staggers opponent on CH (max 37F).
6P
Who did you think taught May how to punch!?
Huge stun anti-air. Slow, high recovery, and almost completely vertical, but great right above you.
- Very high stun damage, will probably dizzy in two counterhits.
- Combos into c.S to knock down, which converts to 2S.
- Fully untechable knockdown on CH and leads to 236S, meaning you get huge damage with an FRC.
- Combos to 236S meterlessly on ground hit against most midweights. Leads to frame perfect 236S FRC 6[H] near the corner.
When partially charged, it gets fully untechable launch on hit, leading to guaranteed conversions. Will autocorrect if released properly. Kliff's real dizzy punish starter.
- Still upper body invul during the charge, can be useful to hold it to go under moves like Order Sol's Rock It.
- Most often used post dizzy to do stronger conversions from 236S FRC.
- Loses the ability to gatling when charged, but can still special/super cancel.
- Occasionally still useful as an anti-air, but it has significantly more recovery than uncharged.
- Combos from 5K midscreen, leading to 236S FRC 6[H] confirms. Also works in the corner, but is far more character limited. (Check the combo section for more on this)
If it weren't for FB Chop, then max charged 6P would be the highest stun damage move in the game.
- 4.5 dizzy modifier and 40 base damage means a pretty high dizzy chance.
- Otherwise functionally identical to partial charge 6{P}.
6H
The Murder Machine
Frames 28-29
Frames 30-34
Frames 35-36
Big, slow-ass overhead that hits more often than it should. Head-splitting damage combo starter and occasional mixup normal. People will forget to air FD against this.
- Staggers on hit, special cancellable for conversion or to make it safe with 236P.
- Leads to extensive damage and will drastically raise their dizzy level even with its slight prorate.
- Will sometimes come in clutch if you don't OS your throw with another normal.
- Don't whiff this move.
Partial charge is a dizzy punish starter which offloads damage immediately as opposed to 6{P, but generally leads to less damage overall.
- Same stagger as uncharged, but 20% more damage means more dizzy and greater output.
- Even a basic 6{H} 236S will deal a huge chunk.
- Used post 236S, won't connect to anything else unless you use point blank 623H or Reflex Roar, or you're against Johnny. Best used here if it'll kill.
Max charge is 200 base damage. Will generally score 80-180 damage mid combo. Possible to get 1-3 per combo with meter. Touch of Death Time >:)
- Almost fully untechable floor bounce on hit for (delayed) 214K or 236S followups.
- Requires an air hit/floated 236S FRC that leads to the corner in order to combo into, but is always desirable if possible.
- Most commonly done post-dizzy.
- Too slow to be used as a combo starter out of a FB Chop against players who mash out, but might work if you score a dizzy off of a stray hit.
- Post FB Chop, if you have 50% meter, you can FRC and do this immediately if it'll kill and they still have a burst.
- (Generally) Don't use this in neutral.
5D
All Hitbox Baby
Frames 27-29
Frames 30-32
Ranged, safe on block 5D that confirms to knockdown and damage from anywhere. Roughly the first half of the startup reuses Kliff's crouching sprite, making this move borderline unreactable despite its actual frame data. A critical mixup tool against characters that are too short to get proper fuzzies against.
- Airborne on frame 18, allowing Kliff to use it to bait wakeup throws.
- Impossible dust leads to guaranteed stun against the majority of the cast in the corner if Kliff has 50 meter for FB chop routes.
- The latter end of the active frames can be low profiled if too far away.
- Increases Kliff's stun by 10 every use.
Additional Frame Data: Kliff is airborne from 18~41F. Feet invincible on 18F and from 42~45F. Lower body invincible 19~41F. Can cancel into Faultless Defense from 45~46F. Can cancel into anything but movement from 47~48F. Kliff's stun rating increases by 10 on 18F. Even if this puts his stun rating over max, he won't be dizzied unless he gets hit.
2P
Kliff feels around, his hair covering his eyes too much
Kliff's shortest range normal. Can be used to mash out close up.
- Probably Kliff's only reliable tick throw due to range and being -1
- Doesn't lead to much of anything different from 5P.
Gatling Options: 2P,5P,6P,5K,2K,c.S,f.S,2S,5H,2H,5D,2D
2K
Watch the shins
Kliff's main low option with decent range. Necessary for conditioning.
- Low profiles slightly. Can go under some early jump ins or projectiles.
- Works well when faking out a 5D by holding crouch for a bit.
- RC and immediately j.K to force an IOH.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 80%. Low profile 5~13F.
2S
Low crush and removes OTG. BnB combo tool.
Vital combo tool that hits and removes OTG. Ignores the rules.
- Predominantly combos to 236S for KD/extension, and 5H for tech traps or character specific conversions.
- Kliff's hop makes this an excellent low crush and frame trap tool.
- Fairly slow button, will not combo from P or K normals.
- Floats up slightly on OTG hit. Can link a 5P/5K deep in the corner.
Additional Frame Data: Forced prorate 70%. Forces opponent into crouching state on ground hit. Ground bounces opponent on air hit (untechable for 28F). Feet invincible 4~14F, 30~32F. Lower body invincible 15~26F. Leg invincible 27~29F. Removes OTG status on opponent on hit.
2H
It doesn't look like a low,
but it sure hits like one
Frames 13-14
Frames 15-16
Low hitting threat from a range that only one other character can similarly threaten at. Primarily a combo tool out of S normals.
- Will often tag people retreating or mis-approximating its reach.
- Combos to 214S from almost anywhere but tip range, and into pressure and potential combo extension with 236P.
- Will get tagged if it whiffs or there's another hitbox in the way when it extends.
Partial charged 2H is easy, burst safe corner combo fodder.
- Staggers on normal hit for easier confirms into 214K, 236S, or 236236H.
- Loops after a 236S FRC by causing wallstick against an airborne opponent.
Max charged 2H is rarely used, but causes a wallbounce on hit.
- Higher damage, but actually slightly harder to confirm than 2{H}.
- Not known to have combo use, as 6[H] is preferable at the time it takes to combo this.
- Still confirms into 236S and 236236H. Might still confirm into 2S.
Additional Frame Data: Wall bounces opponent on hit (untechable for 50F). Dizzy modifier x1.5. Attack occurs 4F after button release if released on 65F.
2D
You never forget how to pole dance
Frames 7-9
Frames 10-13
Frames 14-16
Oh me oh my. 7f low profile sweep with incredible range. Kliff's best normal, possibly the best sweep in the game.
- Shifts Kliff's hurtbox and hitbox forward away from his collision box, letting him go *around* some moves.
- This can lead to janky and confusing situations during an opponent's approach as Kliff will appear to be behind opponents in some scenarios.
- Cancelled into Taunt for oki on hit, and into 236P for frame advantage or a conversion.
- Links to 2S on CH. Works on normal hit against May, Baiken, Jam, Anji, I-no, Kliff, and ABA.
j.P
No! That thing, you idiot!
Great air-to-air and jumping anti-air. One of Kliff's few safe air options in exchange for having the worst range (relatively).
- Self cancellable and low recovery, making it great for closer range air wars
- Combos into j.S for solid damage.
- Mostly used while rising to catch jumps and other jump moves, and OS'd with j.H for airthrow attempts.
j.K
Why blocking low
against Kliff is a meme
Frames 7-8
Frames 9-11
Great, low-reaching normal used for hitting right below Kliff, safejumps, instant overheads, and fuzzy guards. The staple Kliff mixup tool.
- Go-to normal out of airdashes and leads to some nasty mixup situations. It doesn't have much horizontal range, so it's mainly used when you've already conditioned or forced the opponent to block.
- Sometimes used for air confirms, particularly to lead into j.41236S or j.236D confirms.
- Leads to significant damage out of IADs (and IOHs with meter).
- Can be used for a tick throw by whiffing j.P afterwards, or other delayed fall attacks.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 90%
j.S
Still knows how to cut, he does
Frames 9-10
Frames 11-12
Decent air-to-air normal at range. Can hit deceptively deep. Combos into j.H for big conversions.
- Works as a safejump (off j.41236S), fuzzy setup, and sometimes an IOH after j.D FDC right off the ground.
- Big hurtbox extension. Avoid using it too closely if they're not already blocking.
- Due to Kliff's slow fall speed, combined with this move's more subtle startup animation, you can hit after a somewhat deep j.K right before hitting the ground, and it becomes very ambiguous between it and 2K.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 80%
j.H
Wack
Frames 10-13
Frames 14-15
- GGXXACPR Kliff jH-3-Hitbox.png
Frames 16-17
Large, slow attack which can launch and cross up, hitting mainly behind Kliff on startup. Extremely strong as an air to air and as an air to ground because of its large hitbox, and a vital part of many important confirms. Due to its massive bully potential but specific weaknesses and counterplay, this button is overall one of Kliff's most important air normals to understand both for the Kliff player and the opponent.
- Launches during the latter half of its active frames. This is when the hitbox is generally between directly below Kliff or in front of him.
- Big rewards on hit, and you almost always get some sort of confirm, but there are many different routes and they can change significantly based on how the move connects.
- Extremely large extended hurtbox. This allows many characters to tag it with a relatively long range 6p at neutral so be careful when using this move against players that know how to work around it. Additionally, if you are concerned about getting whiff punished for missed airgrabs, make sure to OS your airthrow with j.P.
- Will always have a gap when chained into on block that can be reversal'd through (e.g. j.S > j.H is not airtight.) This window can actually work in your favor as it may tag players who buffer inputs during blockstun.
Requires some situational awareness for optimal use:
- Hit as a crossup or early: keeps the opponent grounded. Confirm into 5P/c.S on landing for grounded confirms or 5K for a launch if close enough.
- Hit later or at the launch side during a combo: launches opponents for generally big damage. Huge damage when hit as low as possible.
- Counter hit: Fully untechable launch. You can confirm an OTG 2S from any height air counter hit, making counter hit air to air confirms extremely consistent. If you can manage to confirm into a juggle instead and thus avoid the OTG 2S proration, prepare to watch your opponent melt.
- Non-launch grounded Counter hit: Gains a large amount of untechable time, making the followup confirm much easier.
Additional Frame Data: Floats opponent on ground hit if hit during last 4 active frames (untechable for 29F). Knocks down opponent on air hit (untechable for 29F).
j.D
Wackier
Stalls Kliff's air momentum before plummeting. Used to bait anti airs, throws, and some reversals. Nearly uncontestable, but horribly unsafe if you miss.
- Easy damage confirms in the corner, smaller things midscreen. Can begin 6[H] confirms.
- Can be FRC'd or FDC'd before it starts. The FRC will maintain downwards momentum, but FDC will cause Kliff to float upwards very slowly.
- This FDC can be done with a j.D right off the ground into a minimum 15f .S IOH.
- Will always retain its landing recovery unless you (F)RC and use a different jumping special move before you hit the ground.
- This means it's better to (F)RC and airdash and/or use j.41236S and then do something on landing if they're not conditioned to attempt an Anti-Air.
Additional Frame Data: Initial prorate 90%. Ground bounces opponent on hit (ground hit untechable for 37F, air hit for 27F). Blockstun 12F. FRC timing 23~24F.
Universal Mechanics
Ground Throw
Flip 'em over
Alley Oop.
- Above average throw range. Important part of Kliff's mixup.
- Leads to short, easy combos midscreen with OTG 2S.
- Can lead to monstrous damage in the corner by doing a full confirm, or by combo'ing into FB Chop.
- OS with either K or c.S for a potential launch or Anti-jump.
Additional Frame Data: Forced prorate 50%. Dizzy modifier x0.8.
Air Throw
Make 'em listen
Sometimes you just need to really get the point across.
- Also above average air throw range.
- Full confirms midscreen (Sometimes only from low heights, depending on the character) and in the corner.
- Has exactly the same confirms as Ground Throw. Big damage or 50% meter for an almost guaranteed stun.
- Best OS'd with j.P, though j.K and occasionally j.S work as well.
- タワケ!
Additional Frame Data: Forced prorate 50%. Dizzy modifier x0.8.
Dead Angle Attack
Pay attention, whippersnapper!
Probably the worst Dead Angle in the game. Use Backdash or 214P Dodge instead.
- The good: Safe on block, harder to low profile than most DAAs, converts near the corner.
- Not invincible until frame 5, must be timed correctly.
- Will always lose to multi-hit projectiles with fewer than 5f between active windows.
- No throw invulnerability either; extremely easy to bait this janky move as it starts.
Additional Frame Data: Forced prorate 50%. Strike invincible 5~15F. Blows back opponent on hit (untechable for 60 frames).

Lesser dragon-roar Fried Egg. Excellent oki tool at +3, and good in pressure.
- When meatied or FRC'd, it's possible to gain nearly 30 frames of advantage.
- Decimates one hit of other projectiles, can help negate other zoners' games.
- Serves as a decent poke, but awful on whiff.
- Good for conversions or pressure continuation after 2D with an FRC.
- and when used after 2D, an airdash will allow you to convert if the 2D hit, or continue pressure if it was blocked.
Additional Frame Data: Destroys other projectiles. Attack is fully extended on 25F. FRC timing 17~19F.
Greater dragon-roar Fried Egg. Enormous hitbox that deals great damage and causes floor slide for conversions or oki. Bread and Butter combo tool.
- Horribly unsafe on block and whiff unless FRC'd.
- Universal combos after FRC. Used in all of Kliff's major loops.
- Meterless conversions if hit against an airborne opponent, notably after 6{P} .
The FRCs on these moves are vital to playing Kliff effectively. Learn them.
Additional Frame Data: Destroys other projectiles. Attack is fully extended on 31F. FRC timing 23~26F. Slides opponent on hit (untechable for 67F, slides for 51F).

Kliff for a ride to drill some heads
1st Hit (Frames 10-13)/
5th Hit (Frames 26-29)
2nd Hit (Frames 14-17)/
6th Hit (Frames 30-33)
3rd Hit (Frames 18-21)
4th Hit (Frames 22-25)
Transport attack, good in combos and as a (whiff) punish due to its large hitbox, speed, and range. Very difficult to punish.
- Will beat many specific moves because of multiple hits, breaking through armor and riskier long range moves (e.g: Potemkin's slidehead and hammerfall).
- Airborne from frame 7, will go over some things.
- Unsafe on block, and in counterhit state for almost the entire duration, but you can still get away with this on block fairly frequently.
- Leads to a mixup and lets Kliff get in when RC'd on block. Save yourself if the opponent can punish you consistently.
- Combos into 2S unless you hit extremely far away.
- Will usually not knock down an airborne opponent: they'll be able to tech the last hit and punish you.
Additional Frame Data: 6th hit floats opponent on ground hit. Kliff is airborne from 7~54F. Hitstop 7F. Kliff is in CH state from 1~55F.
Air drill. Leads to air knockdowns when close enough to the ground, or Tiger Knee'd.
- Best near the corner at low height since it can combo into 2S.
- Can confirm off of an air hit 236S near the corner to get back in and set up oki.
- Very unsafe and not useful in neutral, but can be FRC'd when the active window ends. Don't whiff.
- You'll want to know this FRC well, as occasionally you'll get sideswapped when attempting a j.41236S.
- Don't use this against grounded opponents unless you get a character specific confirm or have the meter to (F)RC.
Additional Frame Data: 6th hit slams down opponent on ground hit. Knocks down opponent on air hit (untechable for 50F). Hitstop 7F. FRC timing 39~41F. Listed Frame Adv is for TK Air Zugaisai performed as fast as possible (startup 12F).
Nape Saddle (Kubimatagi)
214K
Flip over 'em, that dragon's neck won't mind
Frames 28-31
Frames 32-35
Vault. Fullscreen mixup and callout tool, knocks down. Hits overhead, and will crossup depending on position.
- Not great when blocked. Throw punishable. Can also be easily tagged in the air, as it only goes active as Kliff passes the apex of his arc.
- Works as a character specific alternative to 236S after an OTG 2S against characters that you want to stay in against when you don't have them near the corner.
- Can convert into 2s on high air hits.
- FRC > j.41236S or j.H can be used for tricks, but it's not the best use of meter due to Kliff's slow fall speed.
- Cancelling taunt into this can give you some decent options, as taunt will usually cover the recovery.
Additional Frame Data: Kliff is airborne 16~43F. Kliff is in CH state 37~43F. Slams down opponent on air hit (untechable for 60F). FRC timing 24~27F.
Scale Ripper (Urokohagashi)
623H -> HxN
AKA Wiggle Sword made for giant fishies
Hitbox 1
Hitbox 2
Hitbox 3
Hitbox 4
Hitbox 5
Hitbox 6
Hitbox 7
The Pinnacle of Anti-Airs. Gigantic, completely disjointed hitbox which smacks opponents almost anywhere above you.
- Mostly useful at the end of a combo for tacking on as many hits as possible. Very burst safe, too.
- The lengthy recovery and varying number of hits can put Kliff in an awkward situation.
- Kliff can move back or forth slightly while mashing more hits.
- If this clashes while mashing, you may get a 6H which will sometimes tag opponents that are ill-prepared.
- Will vacuum even when they tech and requires FD to airblock, so it can repeatedly reset unaware opponents.
- If you're on the receiving end of this move, tech and hold FD until you safely touch the ground.
Additional Frame Data: Floats opponent on hit (untechable for 10F). Hitstop 7F. Can mash for more hits. Can move back and forth while attacking. 49th attack is a "finishing attack" that is active for 3F and recovery of 22F. Listed Frame Adv is for the finishing attack.
NOTE: This attack groups hitboxes in trios.
E.G: [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,1,2]...
Minimum number of hits is 7 (42F).
The "finishing attack" is hitbox #3.
Two Steps Forward (Sen no Sen)
214P
Only battle hardened veterans know how to lean out of the way
What have you been doing to this poor man?
One of Kliff's defining moves in which he just steps to the side. Is strike invul for its entire duration. Can only be punished with throw.
- Can either be followed up with Hellish Charge to put a hitbox out, or you can just wait for the recovery to end and grab or smack a button.
- Works as a very risky reversal on wakeup, or use on oki to bait the reversals.
- Great against lengthy moves you can react to, like supers, and can follow up with Chop or FB Chop for a huge punish.
- Can be OS'd against and will lose to safejump > land > throw OS.
- The closer you are to being dizzied and the more often you use it, the more chances it has of failing, which will get you killed.
- This move cannot be canceled into.
Additional Frame Data: Strike invincible 1~48F. Can cancel into followup (Hellish Charge and FB Hellish Charge) from 10~41F. Each time Two Steps Forward is used, Kliff's current stun rating is added to a total. If this total reaches 80, Kliff's back goes out, leaving him vulnerable. After using Two Steps Forward 4 times, Kliff's back has a chance to go out immediately, based on his current stun rating. Two Steps Forward cannot be cancelled into.
Hellish Charge (Jigoku Tsukkomi)
Two Steps Forward -> P
Hey, resident bo'ke, the eye is open!
Psuedo-DP followup to dodge done as a manzai routine smack. Strike invuln until startup.
- Staggers on hit, allowing for a throw followup if they don't mash out.
- Tags a hit against players who do not know to safejump > throw against dodge.
- Better conversions when RC'd, eliminates it being unsafe.
- Risky move, but a good thing to have.
Additional Frame Data: Staggers opponent on hit (max 32F). Strike invincible 1~4F. Dizzy modifier x2.

2nd Hit
(Landing Frames 7-11)
Kliff's main air combo knockdown tool. Strong all around move, both as a combo starter and ender.
- Hits overhead, can cross up while cutting Kliff's horizontal momentum, and stalls in the air for occasional fakeouts.
- Leads to a safejump with fuzzy guard setups. Has four(?) different shockwave sizes, growing larger the higher Kliff is when he initiates the move.
- Leads to big damage, or guaranteed dizzy setups in the corner on hit with meter.
- Can be difficult to punish due to pushback.
- The second hit can cancel out other projectiles, keeping Kliff safe against things like Eddie's drills.
- FRC right before it goes active to fake out into a throw or low.
- Comes with the weakness of being out prioritized by j.214S if you get crossed under, which is *horribly* unsafe on whiff. Always keep the opponent's position in mind.
- Can be punished by having the first hit air blocked and the second hit jumped over.
This move is overall one of Kliff's more important ones. Can be very frustrating to deal with if the opponent is not familiar with it.
Additional Frame Data: 1st hit (dive) knocks down opponent (on air hit untechable for 60F). 2nd hit (shockwave) destroys other projectiles, knocks down opponent (untechable for 53F). The longer the dive, the bigger the shockwave. Listed Frame Adv is for the shortest possible dive. FRC timing 12~13F.
Taunt
FOOLS, THE LOT OF YOU
Bouncing, multi-hit projectile which doesn't go away when Kliff gets hit. Who knew that calling somebody an idiot made for such good oki?
- Can give Kliff meterless conversions off of Instant Overhead j.K/j.S when used.
- Works best off of 2D or c.S knockdown.
- Can cut down the recovery significantly by canceling into FD or an attacking move right before the kana (letters) start moving.
- The last kana randomly spawns doubled in size for four times the damage.
- Easily jumped over, but will generally force the opponent to make a decision when used at neutral. Each kana can be cancelled out by other projectiles.
- Since this is a taunt it will give the opponent some tension. Make sure not to dial it in after winning a round and give the opponent 50 meter for the next one.
- バカモン!!!!
Force Breaks
Air Bellowing Roar (Kuuchuu Houkou Gaeshi)
j.236D
Old Man, KFE-turned-Derp Dragon
Big hitbox projectile which covers a huge amount of horizontal airspace. Feasts off of other projectiles.
- Blows Kliff back on use, helping him get out of dodge, particularly when Tiger Knee'd.
- Untechable blowback and wallbounce on hit, giving Kliff ample time to convert as they fall back towards him.
- Recovers as soon as the active frames fade, letting Kliff airdash back in and go for something like a falling j.H for an immediate ground pickup.
- All around strong move. Never a bad use of meter.
Additional Frame Data: Destroys other projectiles. Blows back opponent on ground hit. Wall bounces opponent on air hit (untechable for 53F).
FB Hellish Charge (Jigoku Tsukkomi)
Two Steps Forward -> D
When the bo'ke gives the round to the tsukkomi for free.
Almost guaranteed stun move (x119 modifier). Getting tagged by this is one of the most frustrating things in the game. First you stun them, then you win.
- Too slow to use at neutral, but can be combo'd into. Can work as a very slow punish in some instances.
- Significantly less invuln than the meterless version.
- Despite the ludicrously high dizzy modifier, there are many instances where the dizzy is not guaranteed. Use as early in a combo as possible when setting up.
- Tends to work best near the corner, out of throw, airthrow, j.41236, Impossible Dust, and CH Gold Burst.
- Becomes riskier to attempt the more you've been hit or attempted to dodge/214P. Be absolutely certain that you won't throw out your back when combo'ing into this.
- Will perform the coughing animation regardless of hit or block/whiff. Won't give you enough time to start a combo with 6[H] unless you RC it. Kliff will still get ridiculous punishes afterwards regardless.
Additional Frame Data: Strike invincible 1~7F. Upper body invincible 8~19F. Dizzy modifer x119.
Overdrives
Reflex Roar
236236H
Young Man, Scrambled-Egg-Derp Dragon
Quick, full screen, high damage answer that blows through everything else. Enter the Dragon.
- Will destroy other projectiles on screen.
- Active for a huge amount of time, but won't fully extend until later in its active frames.
- Often used to hitconfirm max ranged pokes into good damage. Can end combos or continue them.
- Can be FRC'd to bait bursts, or follow with a whiffed 214K for good corner carry and a combo.
- Wallsticks when close enough to the corner. Can do meterless confirms if close enough or if Reflex Roar hits later in its active frames.
- Not fully invul. Kliff will get tagged before it goes active if he sticks his hand into a hitbox. Otherwise one of Kliff's best uses of 50 meter.
Additional Frame Data: Destroys other projectiles. Wall sticks opponent on hit (untechable for 90F, sticks for 30F). FRC timing 9~14F. Kliff is in CH state from 1~45F.
Soul Survivor
632146H
Russian Roulette but
with a half loaded gun
Extremely slow reversal that's invincible until it starts, but is very hit or miss if it connects.
- Can be charged after the flash for more hits. Charging will also extend its throw invincibility until the button is released.
- 0f after the first hit, so good in gaps against moves with a lot of recovery.
- Hits at random and can knock them any given distance away from you. Can knock targets out of the hit zone and make itself completely vulnerable on hit.
- If the opponent is sucked in on the last hit, it can combo into 2S > 236S after the knockdown.
Additional Frame Data: 1st hit floats opponent on hit (untechable for 59F). Can only RC if 1st hit touches opponent. 2nd hit floats opponent on hit (untechable for 60F). Kliff is in CH state during move. Strike invincible 1-22 [Move has unlisted throw invincibility until startup]
Instant Kill
Pulverizing Dragon's Roar (Haryuu Bakusai)
During IK Mode: 236236H
Dragon.jpg
Kliff's incredibly long IK preparation makes this rather impractical. FB Hellish Charge RC can give enough time to use this move, but mashing out beforehand is not particularly difficult. Generally too slow to be much use.
