Overview
Overview

Slayer is a space controlling monster who scores obscene levels of damage off of counter hits, effectively being a conditioning monster once he gets into range. Solid whiff punishes, great juking tools, BDC, and overall being very strong at mid to close range can make Slayer a monster once he really gets into the opponent's head. In particular, BDC (Backdash cancel) allows Slayer to transfer the invincibility from his back (or forward) teleport dashes into the next move he does, which not only gives his offense additional prowess, but allows him to circumvent blocking with one a very powerful defensive tool.

On the flip side, Slayer has limited solid gatlings as opposed to the rest of the cast, and is a bit reliant on links for real conversions. His mobility is very limited and he has trouble dealing with zoning, and can easily eat it just as bad as he deals it if he makes a poor move. BDC can take quite a bit of time to perform consistently, and that added on top of his reliance on links can make Slayer a make-or-break character.

However, put together, Slayer's strengths can be truly frightening, and one good read can give Slayer the chance to end the game.

"You need to stop looking up all the time. Sooner or later, you're going to trip on something."
Lore:Founder and former head of the Assassin's Guild, and fisticuffs vampire extraordinaire, Slayer spends his days writing bad poetry and roaming the Earth for good, gentlemanly bouts. In AC, he decides that his time spend meddling in the mortal realm has been long overextended, so he sets out to send off his salutations by crossing fists with those he's grown fond of over the years, and in particular, seems to find a touch of surprise in crossing fists with the P.W.A.B...
Voice:Iemasa Kayumi

 Slayer  Slayer focuses on controlling space with his solid pokes and punish tools, which allows him to effectively land hits on opponents who are too tempted to just mash buttons on him while also being able to build up respectable presence that can allow him to pressure his foes freely.

Pros
Cons
  • High damage: Very high damage output from launch, counter hit, and Overdrive confirms/conversions.
  • Backdash Cancel (BDC): The ability to transfer BD invul lets Slayer circumvent blocking, and allows for a powerful mixup/frame trap game.
  • Excellent buttons: Pokes and anti-air options are generally fairly safe, have good hitboxes, and lead to good damage.
  • Effective punish tools: Dandy Step followups, higher reward CH buttons, and overdrives all can effectively lay the hurt on a single punish.
  • Excellent Overdrives: DOT, Eternal Wings, and DHD all lead to substantial damage and have incredible reach.
  • Bite: Command throw opens up and restores his own life.
  • Limited mobility: A tall hurtbox, teleport dash, and slow walkspeed means Slayer needs to juke often to get in.
  • Difficulty with zoning: Has no real means of dealing with extended buttons or projectiles besides going around them.
  • Limited ground gatlings: Limited grounded pressure game can be difficult to access without links.
  • Counter-hit or meter dependent: Extended-combo-reward on hit is lacking without a CH or meter dump.
  • BDC Difficulty: Backdash Cancel requires solid execution and timing to master effectively.
  • Most of his tools can easily be low-profiled, on top of some tools being unsafe if used haphazardly due to having obvious reactionary answers.

Fast, standard 5P that is complemented by Slayer's height, functioning as a very quick Anti-Air. 4F active, can combo into itself, making it easy to confirm off of, and goes into both ground & air BNB combos.


+ Fast anti-air normal (5F startup)

+ Fastest recovery normal for Slayer (4F), no problem on whiff

+ Various gatling options

+ Jump cancellable into full combo

+ Great range, quick recovery

+ Good for whiff punish

+ Good starter, flexible gatlings into air, damage or knockdown combo

+ Combos to 6P on crouching, good for corner combos


- No meterless KD at max range w/o meter (5K->2D exists but is too hard/spacing dependent to be reliable)

On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

A normal more used for its flexibility than its speed, Slayer close slash reaches from just above the knees to near-head level, letting you combo opponents alike. While inferior to 5P in recovery time, it has deceptively long hitstun, letting you link other normals or even combo c.S into P Dandy->Pilebunker on normal hit.

+ Can be combo'd into and out of

+ Long hitstun makes for easy hit confirm

+ Pushback is minor, allowing for bite setup, frame traps etc.

+ Good throw option-select

+ BNB does a lot of damage (c.S f.S link c.S f.S 2K2D)


- Poor recovery

- Can be low profiled

f.S
GGAC Slayer fS.png

On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

More likely to be combo/blockstring fodder than used by itself, this move is + on block, and allows for frame traps and combos into 2K 2H->2D/BBU etc. very nicely. Watch out for Slayers that throw this out from full screen, that is a misinput Dead on Time.

+ Easiest confirm off of c.S

+ Plus on block

+ links to c.S when in range for big damage BNB, works on standing but is easier on crouching.

+ used after c.S on airborne opponents that are heavy or low to the ground to raise their height


- Bad startup, can be mashed out of

- Hard to react to when you expected c.S

5H
GGAC Slayer 5H.png
The Dandy Haymaker
Damage GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.
High: High or air Faultless Defense
Low: Low or air FD
Mid: Any ground block or air FD
StartupHow many frames it takes for the move to become able to strike the opponent. Startup includes the frame on which the move becomes active. ActiveHow many frames for which the move has a hitbox where if the opponent touches it, they will take damage. Occurs after Startup. RecoveryHow many frames that the move must go through after its active frames end to automatically go back to a neutral state. On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

Big damage normal that is mostly used in combos, or occasionally as a hard call-out due to its slide properties and ability to combo to Pilebunker (FB optional). Unlike AC/AC+, this move now causes an airborne opponent to slide.

You can convert from the slide back to an air combo by connecting another move before the slide ends. When further away, 5h->2h is a common conversion. When deep in the corner, 5h->Undertow is the higher damage option vs. an airborne opponent.



+ Slide on air hit means easy confirms to specials and supers alike.

+ Jump cancellable

+ Although minus on block, can gatling to 2D/2H, or special cancel to continue pressure via mappa(feint) or dandy

+ 5F active with good hitbox, can catch backdash attempts when timed correctly

+ Can Anti-Air opponents in strange situations (Ky cross-up Greed Sever, Anji's stomp, etc.)


- Big startup, opponents can jump out of pressure when not conditioned

- Overhead options are limited to close range 5h->5D or FB Dandy->It's late

On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

Invincible above the knees, great to use on opponents that are trying to IAD on you, but also good for setting up a wall of hitbox for opponents to kill themselves on. Causes wallbounce.

+ Untechable on counterhit; leads to big combos almost everywhere on the screen.

+ Very active and counterpokes well.

+ Trades abusively.


- Slow to low-profile.

- Slow startup.

RecoveryHow many frames that the move must go through after its active frames end to automatically go back to a neutral state. On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

More of a frame-trap or preemptive anti-air, this move has a large, forward-moving hitbox that leads to easy special/super confirms and potentially big combos. Linking normals/specials is possible on late or air hit.

+ Causes bounce on air hit.

+ Situational low crush, as Slayer lifts his front leg out of the way.

+ Hilariously high damage potential

- Slow

- Long recovery on whiff

- Vulnerable to low-profile

A fairly fast crouching jab with good range that links into various moves on ground hit for a knockdown or damage.

+ Fast startup and recovery.

+ Links into Big Bang Upper on air hit, but...


- ... has no special cancels, yet gatlings into 5D.

- Awkward mash timings.

Overall, a really good air button. Faster than j.K but has less speed. Can be used to bait bursts and raising Slayer's hurtbox from jump and BDC jumps.

+ Fast startup, low recovery

+ Gatlings into itself and j.K, which can be used to option-select against bursts and for easy air-combo hitconfirms.

- Low damage

Amazing all-purpose air normal. Extremely low recovery; very easy to use.

+ Links into every air button except j.H, and combos into j.H with a doublejump.

+ Fast startup and extremely low recovery for an air normal.

+ Great hitbox and range.

+ Decent damage, and with good planning can set up high-damage 5H combos.

An extremely versatile air-combo tool. +14 on air hit, so it links into every one of Slayer's air combo buttons, and kicks opponents upwards. Every air normal has a gatling into j.2K.

+ Links into everything, and delay-links into j.K for some cool rejump combos.

+ Moves Slayer forward and stabilizes air combos.

+ Can be used to stall in the air to throw off antiair timings.

- Slow, bad on whiff, and easy to antiair

- Silly animation

Not actually a 3f normal because the first active is on his back leg. For all effects and purposes is a 7f normal. Links into jK, jS, and jD in air combos. Jump cancelleable on 3rd and 4th hits.

+ Vacuum effect on air hit; standardizes combo situations well.

+ Easy confirms into j.214214S.

+ Multihits.

Slayer's first big-damage air button. Strong air-to-ground option, that is risky to antiair; causes ground bounce on counter-hit.

+ Large downward hitbox that stays active for a good amount of time.

+ Links into every other air move on hit. Gatlings into j2K.

+ High damage and stun potential on counterhit.

+ High damage if used in combos.

- Slow startup. Can be stuffed by faster moves, airthrows, and the like.

Slayer's second big-damage air button, and his main knockdown tool for air combos. Special cancels into j2K, which gives combo extensions when jD is done while falling from high enough. jD2K jK is the foundation of many of Slayer's rejump combos, and jD2K jD does quite good damage.

+ Very fast for how deep it hits.

+ Causes stagger on Counter Hit.

+ High damage if used in combos.

- Gives Slayer landing recovery, which makes it worse as an air-to-ground move.

- Long recovery

  • Very unsafe, but unaware opponents may not realize that the recovery is most substantial in the air.
  • Puts Slayer in Counter Hit state until he lands.

Additional Frame Data: Above feet invincible 3~18F. Upper body invincible 19~25F. Slayer is airborne from 19F onwards. Floats opponent on hit (1st hit untechable for 32F, 2nd hit for 42F). Slayer is in CH state until landing. 1st hit has hitstop 6F. 2nd hit has forced prorate 85%.

Command throw which steals a bit of life.

  • Fairly slow for a command throw at frame 7.
  • Staggers on hit for followups.
  • Can be FRC'd immediately after hit for better conversions.
  • A useful wakeup tactic when BDC'd.
  • Comes with the risk of being in CH state during recovery.

  • Allows for extreme damage if used in combos, mostly out of air hit 5H.
  • Can be FRC'd right before it goes active to throw or net a different punish.
  • Combos into sj.jjHD2K jK 5H on counterhit.

YOLO move supreme.

  • Massive, lunging, anti-air hitbox attack that launches well above the top of the screen for easy-peasy conversions.
  • Has an absurd amount of upper body invincibility on startup, allowing it to squeeze under most moves in the game.
  • Frame 10 attack that moves forward very quickly.
  • Despite being -22, there's so much pushback on this move that it may very well go unpunished.
  • Combos into itself repeatedly and can be made burst safe.
  • Comes with the weaknesses of zero dizzy damage and that it cannot be special cancelled into.

Additional Frame Data: Upper body invincible on 1F. Above knees invincible 2~3F. Above feet invincible 4~13F. Floats opponent high on hit (untechable for 62F). Slayer is in CH state from 1~42F.

Absurdly powerful version of Pilebunker.

  • Frame 3 attack which will lead to big conversions on hit due to wallstick.
  • Keeps the opponent in blockstun for 30 frames and pushes them back very far.
  • Is only -3 on block, making it completely safe unless the opponent somehow Slashbacks it.
  • Fast enough that the invul that carries over from FB Dandy Step makes it essentially uncontestable.

  • Can still be thrown if you're cornered when it starts.

Nearly Fullscreen travel strike. Punishes and blows through quite a bit.

  • Freezes opponent inputs for two frames from the super flash.
  • Strike invincible as it starts and until the freeze ends.

Slayer's most reliable, but very unsafe reversal. Since it activates 2 frames after the superflash, an opponent dashing at Slayer or mashing buttons during the super flash can still FD and block.

  • Strike invincible for nearly half a second.
  • Launches far up for a full conversion on hit.
  • Not the slowest reversal, but easily safejumped/meaty baited.
  • Puts Slayer in an extremely punishable position if blocked/whiffed.

Additional Frame Data: Strike invincible 1~24F. Floats opponent and fully untechable on hit. Slayer is in CH state until landing.

Potentially the most damaging move in the game.

  • Excellent tool out of an airtech when done unexpectedly.
  • A whopping possible 260 base damage if both hits connect.
  • Leads to a free conversion on grounded hit with stagger.
  • Freakish untechable time if hit with only the first hitbox.
  • Can still convert if tagged low enough with the second.
  • Horribly unsafe if baited.
  • Can still be airthrown on startup if the opponent when for an airthrow tech trap or read the move.

Additional Frame Data: Strike invincible 1~10F. Head portion has hitstop 7F, staggers opponent on ground hit (Max 46F). Wall bounces opponent on air CH (untechable for 100F). Data listed in [ ] is for the back part (tail). The tail is a projectile.
