Move List

st.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A quick backhand jab, it looks stubby but it has a little more range than you would think. This will chain into all her other standing normals for a combo. Chains to: > > > cl. > >

---

st.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid	5	-	-	-
A positively huge mid kick, it chains into itself, which allows you to easily confirm off of it. While it has no other standing chains, it can chain into 2LK.

---

cl.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid		-	-	-
An elbow strike, looks almost identical to stHP but is special cancelable. Chains to:

---

st.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid		-	-	-
An acceptable standing poke, does not special cancel but does chain into 5HK. Chains to:

---

cl.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A standing rising knee, special cancelable. Chains to:

---

st.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A step-in oblique kick, great range but a bit slow to start up, however it definitely won't be low-profiled. This is special cancelable, but with it's range not a whole lot is going to connect.

---

cr.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid	4	-	-	-
A crouching elbow strike, chains into 2LK for a combo and into 2HK for a frame trap. Chains to:

---

cr.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Low	4	-	-	-
A standard crouching kick, no chains or links from it but it is special cancelable. Much more useful as her OTG pickup tool.

---

cr.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid	10	-	-	-
A rising uppercut, Elirin's main anti-air tool and one that's not half bad. Launches on grounded hit and on anti-air, so she can get a juggle combo afterwards.

---

cr.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Low	8	-	-	-
A quick sweep with great range. Knocks down with OTG pickups afterwards.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	High	6	-	-	-
A lighting fast elbow, chains into jHP and jHK but make sure to chain it fast because jLP is barely active. Is her best option for a rising air-to-air. Chains to: j. / j.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	High	8	-	-	-
A staggeringly long aerial kick, this extends so far downward that she can instant overhead a crouching opponent with it. It's possible that it can cross up but not reliably enough to count on. Chains to: j. / j.

---

nj.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	High	4	-	-	-
A horizontal kick, nothing wrong with it but it doesn't fit much of a purpose other than presenting a decent stop sign in neutral. Chains to: j. / j.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	High	6	-	-	-
A downward angled punch. Not the greatest hitbox, but is the preferred jump-in for combos as it has less pushback.

---

j.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	High		-	-	-
The biggest air normal Elirin has, great for holding down space but does have a little more pushback on jump-in attempts that make make some combos be out of range.

---

Command Moves

+

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid		-	-	-
A hop-in donkey kick, slow startup but holds down space very nicely.

---

+

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
-	Mid	1	-	-	-
Unique dashing attack where Elirin charges the opponent with her hands up. The hitbox on this is huge and with it's advancing momentum plus blistering speed it can catch from very far away. Knocks down on hit, so she can OTG combo afterwards. Special cancelable but not in any way that is humanly hit confirmable. If you want that EX Mach Punch you gotta say it with your chest.

---

Special Moves

Elirin Fire

(Charge) +

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
		N/A		-	-	-
Short range blast of fire. Can be useful as a midrange poke, but you need to be careful with your spacing because the recovery is not great.
		N/A		-	-	-
A slower blast with not too much more range, but it does knockdown on hit so it can be more lucrative.
+		N/A		-	-	-
The fire blast hits multiple times now, leading to much better damage. The range on this is more than double of the normal versions, nearly full screen!

---

Elirin Mach Punch

x4

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
		Mid		-	-	-
A flurry of punches that really isn't much good for anything, the normal versions are far too unsafe in any context to be worth using.
		Mid		-	-	-
You will never want to use these. You will only get them on accident from mashing and you will promptly die from it
+		Mid		-	-	-
Unlike the normal versions, the EX version (input with +) is very useful, this series of punches moves Elirin forward, allowing her to use it in combos to convert for damage.

---

Elirin Tsutenkaku Otoshi

(Charge) +

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
		Mid, High		-	-	-
Elirin leaps into the air and comes down with a clubbing swing. As she hits on the way up it looks like it's supposed to be an anti-air but it's mostly used in combos, its slow startup, poor horizontal range and lack of invincibility make it pretty worthless defensively.
		Mid, High		-	-	-
Elirin leaps higher and does not noticeably make the move any better.
+		Mid, High		-	-	-
The EX version can see some use thanks to it being an instant super, but it still sees the bulk of its use as a combo ender thanks to it's great damage.

---

Elirin Chop

+

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
		High		-	-	-
A basically unreactable overhead. Because it's so fast, Elirin can use this to blow people up for down-backing, especially if she's willing to super cancel from it. It also has the ability to reflect projectiles, which can be a useful option for Elirin's neutral.
		High		-	-	-
You would think this version would be slower, you would be wrong, this will still not be blocked.

---

Elirin San Ranbu

+ x3

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
		Mid		-	-	-
A three-stage rekka. An easy confirm from most normals you'll be landing in footsies, and leads to solid damage if you super cancel the third hit. Even if you don't super cancel, the third hit knocks down so you can get an OTG combo.
		Mid		-	-	-
The HK version goes further and is deals more damage.

---

Guard Cancels

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
Uses Elirin's . Fast, but unreliable, as it has a propensity for whiffing over crouching opponents.

---

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
Uses Elirin's . Her most reliable and preferred guard cancel, but very slightly on the slow side, and can't score a combo without meter if you don't get cl.HK.5

---

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
Uses Elirin's Elirin Fire. Best guard cancel in terms of range, but doesn't knock down, so you need to spend extra meter to make it worth anything.

---

Guard Cancel

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
Uses Elirin's Elirin Tsutenkaku Otoshi. Her fastest guard cancel, but the range on the first hit is extremely short, which makes this guard cancel more likely to kill you than anything.

---

Super Moves

Elirin Smash

cl. +

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
	N/A	1	-	-	-
2 bar super. Elirin's proximity unblockable super has a lot of things going for it,1F startup, no whiff animation, solid damage and great range. This is a really important burst damage option for Elirin, since her access to damage is somewhat limited otherwise.
