Overview
Overview

Nagoriyuki is a mid-ranged powerhouse who dynamically shifts between extended pressure strings which threaten strike/throw mix-ups and space control with massive normals, depending on what the Blood Rage mechanic allows.

Nagoriyuki's long and rewarding f.S and 2S control mid-ranged neutral. His exceptional special moves have the unique boon of being special-to-special cancelable. This includes Fukyo, a teleport that compensates for his weak mobility. Fukyo also grants devastating pressure in the form of strike/throw mix-ups when combined with normals and other specials. Kamuriyuki is especially powerful for frame traps and doubles as a gap-closing tool. Furthermore, using specials has the side effect of filling his unique resource, the Blood Gauge. Filling it boosts the speed, range and power of his H normals, transforming 5H and 2H into outstanding space control tools against grounded and aerial opponents, respectively.

The Blood Gauge must be filled cautiously, however, as filling it completely forces Nagoriyuki into Blood Rage, a state so punishing that defeat becomes near certain. Deplete the Blood Gauge by connecting H normals or by feasting with Bloodsucking Universe, a command grab. This is vital for controlling the Blood Gauge and averting an untimely demise to Blood Rage. Excelling with Nagoriyuki requires constant situational awareness and Blood Gauge management by adeptly shifting tactics midmatch. Players skilled enough to manage the gauge to one or two bars are rewarded with enhanced H normals while still having the leeway to utilize stellar special moves.

Memorize the Blood Gauge's behavior by heart and sharpen your instincts to stop approaches with your blade. Now it’s time to feast!

 Nagoriyuki  Nagoriyuki (名残雪), classified as a One Shot type, is a noble vampire samurai who exchanges bloodlust for long range, fearsome pressure and massive damage.

Pros
Cons
  • Massive Range: Nagoriyuki's giant katana lets him safely control the screen from further ranges than most of the cast. His range must be respected because of the sizable chunk of damage each hit deals.
  • Blood Gauge: Increasing the Blood Gauge boosts the speed, range and power of his H normals, transforming them into oustanding space control tools.
  • Special Cancels: Has the unique ability to cancel specials into other specials, allowing for unique pressure routes and combo routes.
  • Brutal Punishment: His long range, high damage and special cancels means that any mistake the opponent makes can be massively punished, especially so on a counter hit. He is classified as a One-Shot type for a reason.
  • Strong Pressure: Nagoriyuki's ability to cancel his moves with Fukyo gives him instant strike/throw mix-ups with devastating frametraps, which is further reinforced by his powerful chip damage. He can also Fukyo backwards to bait responses and punish.
  • Blood Rage: If he mismanages Blood Gauge he will be forced into Blood Rage, a mode that is difficult to exit and has three punishing drawbacks:
    • He loses access to all of his special moves.
    • 50% of his maximum health is drained during its duration.
    • The activation has a long, easily punishable animation.
  • Limited Mobility: Does not have a normal dash, air-dash or double jump. Fukyo forces him to spend blood meter in order to approach quickly. Not having access to special moves in Bloodrage means he cannot dash, either.
  • Weak to Pressure: Nagoriyuki's limited mobility exacerbates specific problems on defense. Common tactics for getting out of the corner in Guilty Gear games include superjumping or air-dashing over the opponent's reset. Nagoriyuki can't air dash and his superjump has significant startup, so he will be forced to look for places to punish, abare, reversal, or otherwise force a turn.
Note: Nagoriyuki's Super jump is unique, and behaves more similarly to a launch jump from other games. It covers more horizontal and vertical distance than other jumps. It comes with the downside of significant startup. This can both help and hurt Nagoriyuki depending on the circumstance and matchup. Tied to this, is how mobility applies to defense. Nagoriyuki's limited mobility exacerbate specific problems on defense. Common tactics for getting out of the corner in Guilty Gear games include superjumping or air-dashing over the opponent's reset. Nagoriyuki can't air dash and his superjump has significant startup, so he will be forced to look for places to punish, abare, reversal, or otherwise force a turn.
The Blood Rage Gauge

The Blood Gauge is a mechanic exclusive to Nagoriyuki. It is divided into three "Blood bars", consisting of 100 "Blood points" each. The gauge will start to fill when he uses special moves. He can cancel special moves into each other, which stacks their effects. Every Blood bar filled up increases the speed and power of his sword normals, as well as the range of his H normals. The gauge depletes if he lands any sword normal, Bloodsucking UniverseGGST Nagoriyuki Bloodsucking Universe.pngGuardGround ThrowStartup7Recovery48AdvantageNA (623P) or WasureyukiGGST Nagoriyuki Wasureyuki1.pngGuardAllStartup7+(173 Flash)+2Recovery54Advantage-39 (632146S). It also depletes passively over time at a rate of 2.4 Blood (.8% of the total Blood gauge) per second.

The benefits of filling the Blood Gauge are significant, but it comes with drawbacks as well. Filling one or two bars increases the amount of damage Nagoriyuki takes (+11% at one bar filled, +25% at two bars filled). Filling it completely forces Nagoriyuki into the dangerous Blood Rage state, which has several immense drawbacks.

  • Loss of specials: Blood Rage disables Nagoriyuki's specials, impairing his ability to approach and mix up enemies. Without specials, Nagoriyuki is forced to walk, jump, or high jump in order to close space. This leaves him with little to open up a patient player with.
  • HP depletion: Blood Rage drains 50% of Nagoriyuki's maximum health over its duration, making every second spent in Blood Rage very costly. The health depletion cannot KO Nagoriyuki, but it persists even if Nagoriyuki is being comboed. As a result, getting caught in a combo during Blood Rage can spell a swift end.
  • Transformation animation: Entering Blood Rage forces a lengthy, vulnerable animation, allowing any character to whiff punish. On block the animation is less unsafe at -12, but still leaves him consistently punishable.
  • Squishy: Nagoriyuki takes 25% extra damage while in Blood Rage (compared to his baseline damage taken modifier). Combined with its punishable activation and 50% health drain, this means that an unsafe Blood Rage activation allows for a very high damage combo against Nagoriyuki, if not an outright round loss.
Good opponents won't get hit by this, but if they do? SLASH
In addition, Nagoriyuki has no good way to exit Blood Rage. The player can either let Blood Rage end naturally at a massive health cost, or spend 50% Tension on ZansetsuGGST Nagoriyuki Zansetsu2.pngGuardAllStartup11+(58 Flash)+10Recovery80Advantage-66 (632146H) to end it early. The latter option is a -66 mid, which is punishable even at long distances. To summarise, the drawbacks of the mode massively outweigh the advantages, so it should generally be avoided. Nagoriyuki players must constantly watch the Blood Gauge and manage it carefully to avoid Blood Rage. You must maximise the benefits and mitigate the drawbacks of Blood Gauge to play Nagoriyuki effectively.

  • Amazing poke for its speed.
  • On hit, gatling 6H combos at 1 Blood Bar or higher.
  • Initial Proration for combo : 90%

A fast button with respectable range. Juggles the opponent on aerial hit, which is useful for certain combos. Since this is 0 on block, you can often get away with doing two of these in a blockstring to further keep the opponent guessing. Can also be used as a tickthrow with his Command Grab after a 6H ender into Command Dash

  • Does not interact with the Blood Gauge in any way.
  • On hit, gatlings 5H, 2H and 6H combo at any Blood Gauge level. On block, gatlings 6H and 2S are a true blockstring at any Blood Gauge level and 5H and 2H are a true blockstring at more than 1 blood bar or more.

Nagoriyuki uses his shortsword for a quick slash. Lifts the opponent into the air on hit, which means you can often get multiple hits of these when hit at certain distances. This can also be used as an anti-air due to its speed, but getting within the activation range may prove to be a challenge. The fact that this move is +3 makes it an excellent button to use for either pressure or as a meaty, since all of Nago's options after this can lead to deadly damage on counterhit.

  • One of Nagoriyuki's biggest pokes.
  • Has follow-ups if you keep pressing Slash.
  • Last follow-up knocks down.
  • f.S and f.SS decreases Blood Gauge on hit (-7.2/300).
  • Final hit of f.SSS decreases Blood Gauge on hit/block (OH -115.2/300, OB -64.8/300).
  • Total Blood Gauge recovery for the full f.SSS on hit is (-129.6/300) and the reduction applies as 3 separate instances each lasting 6 seconds.
  • Gatling f.S into 5H or 2H will combo only at 2 or more bars of Blood Gauge.
  • Initial Proration for combo : 90%

Nagoriyuki first stabs, then slashes with his sword twice, advancing forward with every strike. The first and second hits can be special cancelled, but the third hit cannot.

f.SS is quite the valuable mixup tool. If nothing is pressed afterwards, Nagoriyuki will feint out the animation for f.SSS, which can easily keep the opponent on their toes and often let you get away with escaping a punish. What helps this is that there's a natural frame trap in between the two moves, which will hit an opponent mindlessly pressing buttons if you opt for f.SSS. However, since f.SSS is -25 on block, cannot be special cancelled, and leads to little reward on hit, it's best to use specials to punish instead. An example is Shizuriyuki (623H), as it gives great reward on counterhit. After using this move you technically can use two more fukyos, or an extra other special.

Horizontal slash forwards. At 1 and 2 blood bars, this outranges f.S. At 2 it is especially useful, as it has the same startup as f.S but with less disadvantage on block. This makes it an ideal tool to keep the opponent at bay at a blood level where your options are limited, and an option they're going to have to respect due to its damage and blood drain. A counterhit from this usually allows you to lead into 6H with the aid of Fukyo for good, stable damage.

  • Data in [] represents values when fully charged.
  • Does not reduce Blood Gauge on hit or block.
  • j.S, j.HS, and j.D follow ups after the launch recover the Blood Gauge like normal.

  • Deals more damage when fully charged, launches opponent on hit if combo'd into.
  • Homing Jump cancelable on raw hit when fully charged, Homing Jump sequence forces an Area Shift.
  • 80% proration if not fully charged.

Nagoriyuki uses his long sword for a quick overhead. Charged 5D + 8 will give you the cinematic launch. Even though Nagoriyuki lacks a double jump normally, you can double jump during the launch. j.HS drains 8 times as much of the blood gauge as j.S or j.D do, so route into as many as possible after the cinematic launch to maximize recovery of the Blood Gauge.

Much faster than 2H at the cost of being much smaller. Comes with the benefit of being a lot easier to use in a pinch, and actually having upper body invulnerability. This is your main tool to stop opponents from trying to engage with air attacks on reaction, though this can also be used to completely shut down certain offensive moves from the opponent during their pressure, such as Gio's Trovão or Sol Poente.

A sword slash downwards. Due to its damage, knockdown, and the rate that it decreases the Blood Gauge, this is a good ender for certain combos. This is also an amazing button to catch people who try and mash during your pressure after certain buttons, as it leads to big damage off of a counterhit.

When ending a combo with 6H as an OTG, canceling into Fukyo (236K) results in favorable okizeme. If you're not in a distance to use c.S, you'll usually at least be within distance to use 2S.

An absolutely massive anti-air that somehow gets even bigger during Blood Rage. A move this huge will teach you how to anti-air - just don't be too predictable with it, as the move has its fair share of weaknesses. Unlike 6P, this move has no upper body invulnerability, so a slow or improper read can make you eat a counter hit. The immense amount of recovery on this move also means your turn ends if it whiffs. However, a counterhit on this can lead to a good combo, and even if this move is blocked, the blockstun is usually enough to start your offense if you cancel into Fukyo.

Nagoriyuki's only projectile tool. Cancelling it into 236K can end his recovery much quicker. This can help you advance towards your opponent more if you follow up with his dash. This special can give multiple mix-up routes when the opponent is blocking given it's advantage on block. For example, you can use c.S if the opponent tries to mash your projectile or if they proceed to block, you can punish them with your command grab, (623P).

  • Command dash.
  • 236K goes forwards, 214K goes backwards.
  • Cancelable into itself with a 4 or 6 input while holding GGK.png.
  • Increases Bloodgauge(+43.2/300) over 3 seconds
  • Leaves Nagoriyuki with significant sliding momentum.

Fukyo is Nagoriyuki's compensation for dashing. Though, beware of using this too much because it increases your Bloodgauge. There are a few advantages when using it. Given it's same animation, you can trick the opponent to think you're either staying on the defense or engaging. Ex. You can bait a throw on recovery by going backwards, or condition the opponent to think you're moving backwards before moving forwards to open them up.

The forward momentum can be used to keep you in range for multiple c.S or for a followup 623P after c.S on block. The momentum can also be imparted to Nagoriyuki's jumps, giving him access to a slow but full screen gap close option. The momentum can be canceled at anytime after the dash recovery by walking in the opposite direction. This allows you to fine tune the range you want to end up at. Canceling the momentum after 214K is key to getting in the optimal range to continue pressure with Nagoriyuki's long range pokes.

Proper use of this move is one of the things that defines your pressure, so get comfortable with it.

  • A lunging attack that can knock down the opponent on hit
  • Can cancel into any special on hit or block
  • Increases Bloodgauge (+90/300) over 3 seconds
  • Airborne 5~12F

Contrary to how it looks, this move is very safe on block. It spaces Nago just out of throw range and in a great position to play mindgames with his opponent. It can also be RC'd into air normals while it is in startup, giving Nago a far reaching and fast overhead with j.S at the cost of 50 tension.

A knockdown from this usually allows you to hit the opponent with 6H, which can help deal with the cost to the Bloodgauge this move has. This moves yields great reward on counterhit, giving it a good use when you feel an opponent is trying to press buttons during your pressure.

Note that if only the final frames of the attack hit the opponent (such as from or near max range) Nago is left at +2 OB.

80/90/100 Ground Throw 7 2 48 - 1-8F Throw

  • Command grab.
  • Recovers some health on successful grab (15% of damage dealt rounded down).
  • Greatly decreases Blood Gauge over 3s (-280.8/300)
  • Removes all Blood Gauge increases/decreases before applying its own drain effect.
  • CH recovery
  • With Blood Gauge(100-200,200-300), damage increases.
  • Forced Proration for combo : 50%

If this successfully hits, the Bloodgauge's progression is completely halted, no matter how fast it was previously filling (or emptying!). Useful for preventing Blood Rage at the last second.

The heal is based on the damage dealt. Considering the guts mechanic, this means the heal will have a greater effect when Nagoriyuki is at low health, the opponent is at high health, and/or the opponent has a low defense modifier.

Thanks to its speed, it's very easy to surprise the opponent with this after a few moves, such as a forward-moving Fukyo or the second hit of f.SS.

Given its dramatic decrease on your Blood Gauge, you can use Nagoriyuki's other specials more freely after it lands. Even if the Blood Gauge is empty the drain effect will still last its full 3 second duration. For instance, if you land Bloodsucking Universe while having a low Blood Gauge and follow up with Fukyo(236K) to pressure the opponent's wakeup, the Blood Gauge cost of Fukyo will be negated by the residual drain effect.

A primary component of Nagoriyuki's offense. Use this move to punish overly respectful blocking and to condition the opponent to challenge your blockstrings.

Activation

No results

Deactivation

No results

  • Activation does not break the wall. If opponent is in wall splat, will simply knock them down.
  • S and HS moves are heavily buffed.
  • Grants access to a powerful Overdrive: Zansetsu.
  • Disables special moves.
  • Faultless defense(FD) can prevent the activation as long as you have tension.
  • Activation itself can cancel out a single-hit projectile.

Activation happens when the gauge gets full, deactivation happens when you use Zansetsu or after enough time passes. You will steadily lose life while in this state, up to half your health.

The activation has a hitbox that does no damage. If it hits, the opponent is launched far away and forced into a knockdown. If blocked, the opponent is put into a lengthy guard break animation and pushed back a fair distance if not in the corner. These can both help to make the recovery of the activation safer, but this isn't perfect. If the opponent blocks this while their back is in the corner, neither of you will be pushed away, which gives them a free punish. If this whiffs, disconnect from the match and blame the lobby system as an excuse: you are dead.

65, 2×17, 52 [65] All 7+(173 Flash)+2 2 54 - 1-10F Full

  • Enters a cinematic if it hits up close.
  • Reduces Blood Gauge (-194.4/300).
  • Blood Gauge reduction applies over 6 seconds.
  • If the opponent is hit at about the tip of the blade, it will launch them into the air, but will not cause the consecutive slashes and instead grant a knockdown. However, you can still extend after they fall to the ground, such as by using f.SSS.

Nagoriyuki does a swift, large slash that lifts the opponent up into a series of further slashes. The Blood Gauge will be temporarily paused during the cinematic but will continue increasing or decreasing after the cinematic ends. The Blood Gauge reduction will only be applied if the final blow of the cinematic lands. Cinematic will knock the opponent in the other direction if directly above Nagoriyuki. Microwalk backwards before using on high wall splats.

200 All 11+(58 Flash)+10 6 80 - 1-26F Full

  • Hits fullscreen.
  • Deals MASSIVE damage raw, and still does plenty after a scaled combo.
  • Exits Blood Rage mode on use(on blocked/on hit).

When you enter Blood Rage mode, Zansetsu is the only overdrive move you can use. It's generally used quickly as possible to avoid your health from drastically decreasing overtime due to Blood Rage. Using it raw can be risky as you have a lot of recovery frames after activating. Some characters can run up to you in time. The long startup makes it a poor reversal, even worse if the opponent has meter as they can PRC attacks on reaction to the super flash animation.
