Introduction

About Zeku

Zeku is two characters in one, with an old form and a young form. The old form excels at long ranged spacing and poking, while the young form is better at pressure and combos. These give you a character who's good at pretty much everything but not all at once. Being strong with Zeku means you have to know when the right moment is to switch to the form best suited for whatever situation they're needed for. Good use of the form swap can throw an opponent off their game, as they'll have to constantly change what they have to watch out for in neutral. This goes for the Zeku player as well, as they'll have to constantly know what to do in neutral based on their form, not to mention memorizing his vast amount of combos and setups for both forms and between the two. If you like a character more complex than most with critical strengths and weaknesses that you'll swap constantly, Zeku could be just for you.

Unique Mechanics

By using his V-Skill 1, VT2, or pressing 22PP, Zeku will change from Old Zeku to Young Zeku. These are two completely different characters with different normals, command normals, and specials. Old Zeku is slower focusing more on spacing and ranged game, Young Zeku is much more offensively focuses. You will always start a round as Old Zeku. Change form can be done off select normals. As old Zeku all grounded normals excluding his command overhead, standing MK / HK, crouching LK, MP and HK. As young Zeku all grounded normals excluding standing MK, HK, command overhead and all crouching kicks.
