victor
Quick overview
| Some tricky strings and animations, big chip dmg. |
| Very weak to SSR. You can SSR 80% of the movelist at -5 (wr2). |
| Lows track, but are risky, can consider SSR duck. |
| 2,2 (h,m) tracks well, but is punishable on block. 2,1 is a safe oB |
| tracking option, but duckable. |
| A throws beats IAI stance at -3 transition or worse, except IAI~d_f. |
| A 100% option is to just df1 check and block the armor in time. |
HEAT
| Heat powers: Some sword moves recover heat on hit. |
| Heat powers up 2 moves; |
| u1+2: -20 oB -> -4, more dmg oH |
| LAI d2: +1 IAI -> +8 IAI |
| New move db1+2: i28 mid sword, KND, +6 IAI oB |
| Heat engagers: f4,1 | f1+2 | d2 | b1+2 | PRF3 |
| Heat smash: i20 low |
Stances
| Iai stance (IAI). Transitions: db1+2(+6) | PRF 2,2(+5 oH, -4 oB) | |||
| df4,2 / QCF2(+4 oH, -3 oB) | uf1,1~d(+3 oH, -10 oB) | | |||
| IAI1,1~d(+2 oH, -11 oB) | IAI1(+1 oH, -12 oB) | IAI4(+3 oH, -13 oB) | |||
| 3+4(manual). IAI1 fastest move (i13, m), IAI3 i8 PC activation. | |||
| A throws beats IAI stance at -3 transition or worse, except IAI~d_f. | |||
| A 100% option is to just df1 check and block the armor in time. | |||
| Perfumer (PRF). Transitions (oB): 2,1(+7 oH, -4 oB) | | |||
| ws1+2(+8 oH, -8 oB) | b1 (+5 oH, -5 oB) | db1,1(+4 oH, -5oB) | | |||
| f3(manual). Fastest move i12 mid. Only one low, i19 cs6, -13oB. | |||
| You can always check oB transitions with df1. Also weak to SW. |

String handling
| 1,1,2: jails. |
| df3,4,2: i12 interrupt window before last hit |
| ws3,2: i10 interrupt window, can always punish first hit. |
| IAI 1,2,2: You can OS this by i13 punishing the second hit (will float third hit) |
| uf1,1 / IAI 1,1 cancels: At least -17 on cancel read. |
Other notes
| uf3 js9. IAI3 i8 PC activation |
