Normals

Standing

• st. A: A quick standing palm thrust. Good for stopping incoming hops. Whiffs on short crouching opponents. Barely minus on block, super cancel-able on hit.

• st. B: Andy performs a quick thrust kick. Good to use as a close ranged poke. Barely plus on block, cancel-able on hit.

• st. C: Andy performs a swinging chop. Minus on block, super cancel-able on hit.

• st. D: Andy performs a roundhouse kick aimed at the opponents face. Can be used as a ground anti-air against hops at a mid-range distance. Minus on block, super cancel-able on hit.

Close

• cl. A: Andy quick chops the opponent's neck. Slightly Minus on block, cancel-able on hit. Can chain into his other standing and crouching light normals.

• cl. B: Andy knees the opponent's chin. Even on block, cancel-able on hit.

• cl. C: A close hook punch that hits twice. Even on block, cancel-able on first or second hit.

• cl. D: Andy performs a close splits kick. Slightly minus on block, cancel-able on hit.

Crouching

• cr. A: Andy performs a crouching back hand punch. Even on block, cancel-able on hit. Chain-able into his other standing/crouching light normals.

• cr. B: This quick crouching light kick is good to start combos or to poke with at a close range. Even on block, cancel-able on hit. Chain-able into his other standing/crouching light normals. Hits low.

• cr. C: Andy performs a horizontal palm thrust. Even on block, cancel-able on hit or whiff.

• cr. D: Andy crouches down to kick the opponent's upper leg area that sweeps the opponent. Minus on block, cancel-able on hit, causes soft knockdown when connected. Hits low.

Jumping

• j. A: Andy performs a jumping palm thrust. Whiffs on crouching opponents. Cannot cross-up. Will chain into any close or crouching normal (even cr. HK, but it's tight)

• j. B: Andy performs a swinging forward kick. Best used as an air-to-air attack, or to anti-air if neutral jumped. Whiffs on crouching opponents. Cannot cross-up. Will also chain into any close or crouching normal (even cr. HK, but it's tight)

• j. C: A jumping slap. Short range. Hits some crouching opponents. Cannot cross-up. Will chain into any close or crouching normal except for cl. D.

• j. D: This kick has good horizontal range and points downward slightly. Good to use as a jump-in attack. Hits crouching opponents. Can cross-up. Will chain into any close or crouching normal.

Blowback

• st. CD: Andy performs a full swinging roundhouse kick. Minus on block, cancel-able on hit or whiff, causes wall splat when connected, using whiffed LP elbow on block to maintain pressure seems good if the blowback connected either point blank or right at the tip (anywhere in between will cause you to hit them)

• j. CD: Andy performs a swinging heel kick. Hits mid. Hits crouching opponents, on block will chain into any close or crouching normal except for cl. HK. When connected they are put in a non juggle state ending in a soft knock down. When connected as a counter hit they are put in a juggle state.

Throws

Kakaekomi Nage (Forward) - (b/f+C) close

• Andy grabs the opponent, then throws them toward the corner of the screen.
• Can be broken
• Soft knockdown

Kakaekomi Nage (Backward) - (b/f+D) close

• Same as the Kakaekomi Nage (Forward), but the opponent is thrown the opposite direction
• Can be broken
• Soft knockdown

Command Moves

Hirate Uchi - - (f+A)

• Andy throws out a strong palm thrust. Mainly used during combos after his cl. C or any of his close standing and crouching normals. Even on block, cancel-able on hit

Genei Shiranui - (down + D) (in air)

• This move drops Andy to the ground off of a full or super jump, or off hcf+K on hit or whiff.

Special Moves

Zan-ei Ken - (db~f+A/C)

• Andy dashes forward quickly to deliver a power elbow strike.

• Minus on block, super cancel-able on hit, causes soft knockdown, good for closing distance if you can space it to whiff

• Light punch version (A) travels at a half screen distance

• Heavy punch version (C) travels at a 3/4ths screen distance & is more unsafe on block than the light punch version.

• You can enter the command for this attack a bunch of different ways. db, b, f+P works as does hcf+P (or db, qcf+P).

EX: Minus on block, causes wall splat on hit.

Kuuha Dan - (hcf+B/D)

• Andy launches quickly from the ground to perform a corkscrew kick that curves down towards the opponent.

• Very unsafe on block (even when using down+D or B+D Brake), super cancel-able on hit into his Climax, causes soft knockdown from first hit

• The heavy kick version travels a longer distance than the light kick version

EX: More damaging than the normal version. Travels faster than the normal version. Unsafe on block (even when using down+D or B+D Brake), causes soft knockdown from first hit

Kuuha Dan (Brake) - (B+D)

• Press LK+HK (B+D) after first hit of hcf+K. It stops Andy during the animation of Kuuha Dan & if the hcf+K connected, the opponent is put in a juggle state that allows for one close or crouching normal (except for cr. D), or a dp+C that is super cancel-able on the third hit into his Climax.

Hishou Ken - (qcb+A/C)

• Andy throws a round, illuminated energy ball towards the opponent.

• The light punch version is minus on block when close, super cancel-able on startup, has medium speed and when thrown full screen, Andy can move around when the fireball is 3/4 to the other side. If it hits an airborne opponent, it puts them in a juggle state ending in a soft knockdown.

• The heavy punch version is similar to the light punch version but travels at a faster speed.

EX: Barely minus on block when close, travels at a slow speed & when thrown full screen, Andy can move around when the fireball is a 1/4th screen distance to the other side. If it hits an airborne opponent it puts them in a juggle state ending in a soft knockdown.

Shouryuu Dan - (dp+A/C)

• Andy performs a sharp angled, jumping swinging chop. Good to use as an anti-air or to finish combos. Unsafe if blocked & whiffed.

• Both light punch, heavy punch & EX versions have upper body invincibility on startup.

• The light punch version is super cancel-able on first hit and causes soft knockdown.

• The heavy punch version inflicts more damage than the light punch version and is super cancel-able on first hit or into his air Climax on the third hit. Causes a soft knockdown.

• st. CD, db~f+C, db~f+C, qcf~hcb+AC = (374 DMG)

(Super cancel off of a st. CD wallsplat, but you have to cancel the st. CD into heavy elbow, which isn’t safe.)

(Corner st. CD combo)

(Quick max combo into climax, good damage.)

• st. CD, qcb~hcf+AC = (457 DMG)

(st.CD wallsplat combos into climax, nice and easy, no cancels necessary on the st. CD. Can confirm into it.)

Corner only

• cl.C (2 hits), f+A [BC] cl.D, db~f+AC, hcf+D (3 hits) d+D, dp+C [SC] qcb~hcf+AC = (632 DMG) {1250 Max Mode}

(Quick max combo into climax in the corner for added damage. Use the button hold trick to get the heavy DP to come out as early as possible, and cancel the kuuhadan (hcf+D) immediately after three hits or the dp will whiff and you’ll probably die. 2nd character position.)

• st. CD, hcf+B (3 hits) down+D, dp+C [SC] qcb~hcf+AC = (523 DMG)

(st. CD corner combo into climax.)

4 meters

• cl.C (2 hits), f+A, qcb+C [SC] qcb~hcf+K (7 hits) [SC] qcb~hcf+AC = (651 DMG)

(Advanced cancel into climax from mid-screen.)

Misc

Andy’s grounded normals are pretty lackluster in terms of range (aside from st. CD). Far C is a decently quick counter poke, so standing just outside of their range and whiffing it while buffering max mode when you think they’ll press a button is a decent way to discourage them from whiffing their own normals. Use st. CD at max range and cancel into light zan’eiken (db~f+A) will put you right in their face, allowing you to pressure with cr.B. His sweep has terrible range compared to previous entries in the series, and even when his foot is entirely in the opponent’s character it might still whiff, so be careful with it as it has poor recovery. He also doesn’t have as many setups as in previous titles, but he can mix them up well with max mode: if you land a combo into quick max, do an ex elbow to wall splat, then immediately qcb+AC. Heavy elbow will get you close, and from there you can 1) poke low and be covered by the slow-moving ex fireball; 2) hyper-hop for an overhead into combo, again covered by the slow-moving ex fireball; 3) full jump cancel with down+D to cross over them into a low or cl.C for a left-right mixup or; 4) roll for a cross-through and combo from there. This costs meter but is a great pressure sequence.

Learn the range of his crossup j.D and use his mobility to keep the pressure up in the opponent’s face. Andy can play a rudimentary fireball-uppercut zoning game but without decent normals or damage to back it up, it’s not as effective as other characters. Use whiffed elbows and his extremely fast run speed to get in and pressure.
