Zankuro is spoiled when it comes to recoil cancel options. His fireball (236S), although it doesn't hit low anymore, is his safest option for recoil cancelling and additionally will serve as a fullscreen poke for where 5C will not reach. For something with better reward, he has his burn knuckle (236D) which deals higher damage, causes a soft knockdown, reaches high enough to catch jumps and can be made safer if spaced at the tip of his 5C. However, this can be low profiled by short crouching opponents, in which case Zankuro may have to settle for fireballs or attempt the same thing with his rush special (623S). This goes over lows and deals more damage than burn knuckle, but also leaves Zankuro much more vulnerable. If Zankuro anticipates a slash attack as the opponent attempts to poke him out of his fireball then the universal deflect is a safe enough option, but for attacks like [[Samurai Shodown VI/Sogetsu|Sogetsu]]'s 2C which are immune to deflects then his counter (214D), which catches any grounded weapon attack in exchange for being a lot less safe, will come in handy. However, the absolute safest option Zankuro has is to do nothing, provided it has enough support. If your opponent has been conditioned not to poke at Zankuro or to block in anticipation of a fireball or something punishable, Zankuro can simply not recoil cancel and recover well before the opponent knows it. The threat of all of his other recoil cancel options are precisely what allows Zankuro to get away with mashing heavy slashes scot free. Provided he doesn't whiff them, of course.

Zankuro has a few viable Spirit choices. I Spirit gives Zankuro the hardest-hitting Hyper Slash in the game, which is not only useful as a punish tool but can also be used as yet another recoil cancel option for him, and potentially a very rewarding one. Be careful that if the opponent reads you going for a Hyper Slash then you ''will'' be deflected and you ''will'' be disarmed. If you want to use Zankuro's WFT, which is considerably a lot more useful in this game than before, then VI Spirit is a fine choice because it mitigates Zankuro's short Rage duration and rewards him with extra meter for using heavy slashes, which universally build more meter than other normals. V Spirit may also be considered because it grants the strongest bonus for having a full Weapon Gauge, while at 5C range is where Zankuro can usually afford to meditate safely.
==Spirits==
*I Spirit gives Zankuro the hardest-hitting Hyper Slash in the game, which is not only useful as a punish tool but can also be used as yet another recoil cancel option for him, and potentially a very rewarding one. I Spirit emphasizes Zankuro’s ability as an offensive powerhouse in exchange for sacrificing WFT and defensive options.
*II Spirit gives Zankuro additional mobility tools in rolls, which can be special canceled for surprise feints (backroll into 236D or 623S) or high-risk gambles (forward roll into 214D). Hop and duck are worthwhile defensive options as well. Secret move gives Zankuro an additional low option to shore up his lack of strong low presence outside far 2B range. Zankuro excels at bullying disarmed opponents, so if you find yourself in a position to land WFT frequently, II Spirit may be a strong option.
*III Spirit gives Zankuro the ability to manually charge rage, which he can frequently find opportunities for gives how many way he has to knock opponents down (236D’s sliding knockdown is especially helpful here). Zankuro’s jump-ins are extremely strong so air parry may be a good way to deal with opponents who try to anti-air early in anticipation of jC.
*IV Spirit’s continuous slash gives Zankuro even more options for damage, building rage, and landing WFT while providing him with a powerful comeback mechanic in rage explosion/issen. Overall a strong and versatile spirit choice.
*V Spirit may also be considered because it grants the strongest bonus for having a full Weapon Gauge, and Zankuro can usually afford to meditate safely at his 5C range and after a knockdown. The additional grounded mobility tools offered by V Spirit can help him to position himself or incorporate special canceled rolls into his game as noted above.
*VI Spirit allows you to sit on the threat of Zankuro's WFT, which is considerably a lot more useful in this game than in V Special and mitigates Zankuro's short rage duration. VI Spirit also rewards him with extra meter for using heavy slashes, which universally build more meter than other normals. Mikiri dodges are useful not only for evading and punishing attacks but for building green health for using Zankuro’s secret move, which offers him a powerful additional low option.

*'''5C''' - This thing is the hardest-hitting heavy slash in the game. It reaches insanely far while Zankuro takes a step forward, and pretty high up as well. This move is essential for poking, recoil cancels and for big punishes.

*'''2C''' - A massive upward swing. Highly effective as an anti-air and a meaty, as even if your timing is off you're practically guaranteed to hit the poor bastard if they try jumping out. However, its poor priority means it is prone to trading or getting stuffed completely.

'''Gale Slash''' - 236S
===Gale Slash===
*A ground-skimming fireball. Strength determines the speed it travels. This fireball has been normalised in that it will leave the screen upon making contact with the opponent, but it also hits mid now. The main purpose of this move besides basic space control is as a safe recoil cancel option which will leave Zankuro advantageous if spaced correctly.

'''Break Down Slash''' - 623S (Samurai Drive)
===Break Down Slash===
*Zankuro runs forward, charging with his shoulder. Strength determines how far. On contact he will slash upwards for a powerful ender, resulting in a soft knockdown. In this game, Zankuro will always perform the followup at any range, which means Blanka Ball feints with the various strengths are not as effective, but still doable. This move actually has a bit of a high profile, meaning Zankuro will run over attacks which are low enough to the ground. Additionally it can be used as a recoil cancel option but in exchange for being rewarding damage-wise it is also extremely punishable.

'''Immovable Force''' - 214D
===Immovable Force===
*A catch counter which will catch any grounded weapon attack and nothing else which falls outside of this criteria. Upon a successful catch it will result in high damage and a hard knockdown. The reasons to use this over deflect are that it is active from frame one, catches low slashes and sports a longer active period. However, it is a lot less safe. Use as a very daring recoil cancel option or to combat moves like [[Samurai Shodown VI/Charlotte|Charlotte]]'s Violette Lunge.

'''Fists Of The Lawless''' - 236D, can be done unarmed
===Fists of the Lawless===
*Burn Knuckle. Zankuro charges forward with a glowing fist. He travels a shorter distance here than he did in V Special, but it will work from 5C at max range. If used as a recoil cancel option then the tip of 5C is what you should be aiming at, as that is where this move will be safest. Zankuro is a big guy so this punch will whiff on low profiles, but to cover that space below you can use your fireball instead. This may also be used as an anti-air.

'''Infinity Slash''' - 421S
===Infinity Slash===
*After a lengthy pause, Zankuro performs a powerful slash wave in front of him. No difference between strengths. If charged longer Zankuro will deal progressively more chip damage until his blade glows red, in which it will then be unblockable. You have a pretty fat chance of landing this in a real match as it takes a long time for Zankuro to charge red and it's punishable on block otherwise. On hit it causes a wall bounce and a soft knockdown.

'''Shaking Slash''' - 4632S
===Shaking Slash===
*Zankuro stomps the ground then slashes forward, causing a wall bounce and a soft knockdown. This stomp is a low. In addition to being a mixup tool it is also Zankuro's best combo tool without meter for its damage and advantage. The stomp has pretty short range but Zankuro will go for the slash regardless of whether or not it hits. Suffice to say, this is punishable on block.

'''Infinity Cannon''' - 236AB

*Zankuro charges his sword then fires a wave which travels fullscreen in the blink of an eye. This WFT has been buffed in that it now starts extremely fast, enabling its use in combos and recoil cancels. It still has a blind spot when up close, but this appears to have been shortened and is not an issue when confirming from close mediums. On the downside, this now deals just one hit of damage so it's not that good for chip kills.

'''Secret Matchless Shaking Slash''' - 22236BC (II), 236BC (VI) (Samurai Drive)
===Secret Matchless Shaking Slash===
*Enhanced version of 4632S. Zankuro stomps the ground then delivers a powerful slash wave forward. The stomp hits low and will reach fullscreen, but the wave will only reach around half the stage regardless of whether or not the stomp landed. This is not useful as a mixup option because the super flash makes this telegraphed. Instead, this is best used as a lenient combo ender. The stomp itself deals no damage, so it's useless as a fullscreen punish.

Samurai Shodown VI

Overview • Data • Replays

Introduction

No, not Sankuro.

Zankuro has received a few neat buffs, including some low attacks and a better WFT, but by far his most important change has to do with his heavy slashes. Zankuro drains significantly less Weapon Gauge from whiffing his far heavy slash (only 48%, as opposed to the entire thing), and even less from all his other heavies. This means no severe penalty from missing just one anti-air, or the opponent dodging just one meaty. Furthermore, deflected heavy slashes will no longer leave Zankuro disarmed. These system changes allow Zankuro to play a simple recoil cancel game with less risk for more reward.

Data

  • Dash type: Run
  • Damage taken: 98% (3rd Tankiest)
  • Rage retention: 113
  • Rage duration: 8 seconds (3nd Shortest)

Gameplan

Zankuro's 5C is boss. It deals the most damage of any heavy slash in the game, reaches far horizontally and, along with his other heavies, will also recoil on block. This thing also reaches far enough to catch backdashes if the opponent is close enough. An opponent up close may attempt to avoid his heavy slashes by jumping instead. Up close this is a grave mistake, as 2C and n5C both sport incredible vertical reach, allowing them to not only serve as effective anti-airs but also catch an opponent trying to jump out easily. However, heavy recoil is a thing, so Zankuro can't always spam his heavies for that. When up close, he can instead use his 5B or 2B for recoil cancels as these have an earlier recoil cancel window which won't get Zankuro killed nearly as fast. 2B, which is also a low, couples well with his overhead 6D. Zankuro may also use his stomp (4632S) as a low-hitting mixup option, but in return for its high damage output it is much less safe. For aerial encounters, Zankuro can also use jB as an air-to-air. jC has a bad hitbox for air-to-airing so it is best used as a jump-in which Zankuro can easily bully with.

Zankuro is spoiled when it comes to recoil cancel options. His fireball (236S), although it doesn't hit low anymore, is his safest option for recoil cancelling and additionally will serve as a fullscreen poke for where 5C will not reach. For something with better reward, he has his burn knuckle (236D) which deals higher damage, causes a soft knockdown, reaches high enough to catch jumps and can be made safer if spaced at the tip of his 5C. However, this can be low profiled by short crouching opponents, in which case Zankuro may have to settle for fireballs or attempt the same thing with his rush special (623S). This goes over lows and deals more damage than burn knuckle, but also leaves Zankuro much more vulnerable. If Zankuro anticipates a slash attack as the opponent attempts to poke him out of his fireball then the universal deflect is a safe enough option, but for attacks like Sogetsu's 2C which are immune to deflects then his counter (214D), which catches any grounded weapon attack in exchange for being a lot less safe, will come in handy. However, the absolute safest option Zankuro has is to do nothing, provided it has enough support. If your opponent has been conditioned not to poke at Zankuro or to block in anticipation of a fireball or something punishable, Zankuro can simply not recoil cancel and recover well before the opponent knows it. The threat of all of his other recoil cancel options are precisely what allows Zankuro to get away with mashing heavy slashes scot free. Provided he doesn't whiff them, of course.

Spirits

  • I Spirit gives Zankuro the hardest-hitting Hyper Slash in the game, which is not only useful as a punish tool but can also be used as yet another recoil cancel option for him, and potentially a very rewarding one. I Spirit emphasizes Zankuro’s ability as an offensive powerhouse in exchange for sacrificing WFT and defensive options.
  • II Spirit gives Zankuro additional mobility tools in rolls, which can be special canceled for surprise feints (backroll into 236D or 623S) or high-risk gambles (forward roll into 214D). Hop and duck are worthwhile defensive options as well. Secret move gives Zankuro an additional low option to shore up his lack of strong low presence outside far 2B range. Zankuro excels at bullying disarmed opponents, so if you find yourself in a position to land WFT frequently, II Spirit may be a strong option.
  • III Spirit gives Zankuro the ability to manually charge rage, which he can frequently find opportunities for gives how many way he has to knock opponents down (236D’s sliding knockdown is especially helpful here). Zankuro’s jump-ins are extremely strong so air parry may be a good way to deal with opponents who try to anti-air early in anticipation of jC.
  • IV Spirit’s continuous slash gives Zankuro even more options for damage, building rage, and landing WFT while providing him with a powerful comeback mechanic in rage explosion/issen. Overall a strong and versatile spirit choice.
  • V Spirit may also be considered because it grants the strongest bonus for having a full Weapon Gauge, and Zankuro can usually afford to meditate safely at his 5C range and after a knockdown. The additional grounded mobility tools offered by V Spirit can help him to position himself or incorporate special canceled rolls into his game as noted above.
  • VI Spirit allows you to sit on the threat of Zankuro's WFT, which is considerably a lot more useful in this game than in V Special and mitigates Zankuro's short rage duration. VI Spirit also rewards him with extra meter for using heavy slashes, which universally build more meter than other normals. Mikiri dodges are useful not only for evading and punishing attacks but for building green health for using Zankuro’s secret move, which offers him a powerful additional low option.

59 Mid 19 -6~-5 -20 -15 Recoil Yes - No

This thing is the hardest-hitting heavy slash in the game. It reaches insanely far while Zankuro takes a step forward, and pretty high up as well. This move is essential for poking, recoil cancels and for big punishes.

46 Mid 17 -2~-1 -20 -15 Recoil Yes - No

A massive upward swing. Highly effective as an anti-air and a meaty, as even if your timing is off you're practically guaranteed to hit the poor bastard if they try jumping out. However, its poor priority means it is prone to trading or getting stuffed completely.

This move is strictly a jump-in. There is an annoying blind spot in front of Zankuro which means it can only be used to hit opponents below him, so it is useless as an air-to-air. As a jump-in it serves its purpose well.

A ground-skimming fireball. Strength determines the speed it travels. This fireball has been normalised in that it will leave the screen upon making contact with the opponent, but it also hits mid now. The main purpose of this move besides basic space control is as a safe recoil cancel option which will leave Zankuro advantageous if spaced correctly.

Zankuro runs forward, charging with his shoulder. Strength determines how far. On contact he will slash upwards for a powerful ender, resulting in a soft knockdown. In this game, Zankuro will always perform the followup at any range, which means Blanka Ball feints with the various strengths are not as effective, but still doable. This move actually has a bit of a high profile, meaning Zankuro will run over attacks which are low enough to the ground. Additionally it can be used as a recoil cancel option but in exchange for being rewarding damage-wise it is also extremely punishable.

43 Counter - HKD - - - No - No

A catch counter which will catch any grounded weapon attack and nothing else which falls outside of this criteria. Upon a successful catch it will result in high damage and a hard knockdown. The reasons to use this over deflect are that it is active from frame one, catches low slashes and sports a longer active period. However, it is a lot less safe. Use as a very daring recoil cancel option or to combat moves like Charlotte's Violette Lunge.

33 Mid - HKD - - - No - Both

Burn Knuckle. Zankuro charges forward with a glowing fist. He travels a shorter distance here than he did in V Special, but it will work from 5C at max range. If used as a recoil cancel option then the tip of 5C is what you should be aiming at, as that is where this move will be safest. Zankuro is a big guy so this punch will whiff on low profiles, but to cover that space below you can use your fireball instead. This may also be used as an anti-air.

After a lengthy pause, Zankuro performs a powerful slash wave in front of him. No difference between strengths. If charged longer Zankuro will deal progressively more chip damage until his blade glows red, in which it will then be unblockable. You have a pretty fat chance of landing this in a real match as it takes a long time for Zankuro to charge red and it's punishable on block otherwise. On hit it causes a wall bounce and a soft knockdown.

  • When Zankuro's blade glows green it will deal more damage, but when it glows red it will deal even more.

Zankuro stomps the ground then slashes forward, causing a wall bounce and a soft knockdown. This stomp is a low. In addition to being a mixup tool it is also Zankuro's best combo tool without meter for its damage and advantage. The stomp has pretty short range but Zankuro will go for the slash regardless of whether or not it hits. Suffice to say, this is punishable on block.

43 Mid - Disarm - - - No - No

Zankuro charges his sword then fires a wave which travels fullscreen in the blink of an eye. This WFT has been buffed in that it now starts extremely fast, enabling its use in combos and recoil cancels. It still has a blind spot when up close, but this appears to have been shortened and is not an issue when confirming from close mediums. On the downside, this now deals just one hit of damage so it's not that good for chip kills.

43 [0+43] (II), 42 [0+42] (VI) Low - - - - - No - No

Enhanced version of 4632S. Zankuro stomps the ground then delivers a powerful slash wave forward. The stomp hits low and will reach fullscreen, but the wave will only reach around half the stage regardless of whether or not the stomp landed. This is not useful as a mixup option because the super flash makes this telegraphed. Instead, this is best used as a lenient combo ender. The stomp itself deals no damage, so it's useless as a fullscreen punish.

Combos

Standard Combos

  • 5A 623S/236D/236AB - Light combos. 623S deals more damage than 236D but the cancel must be done early. Be careful about the spacing here because n5A doesn't cancel.
  • n5B/n2B/5D 623S/236D/4632S/236AB - The stomp works off medium normals, but deals slightly less damage than 623S and doesn't connect from 5D. 5D 236D is also available unarmed.

Secret Move (II/VI)

  • 5A SM - Zankuro's Secret Move has much better startup than the regular stomp.

Continuous Slash (IV)

  • A+B BBC 623S/236D/236AB - Standard juggles. Delay 623S, otherwise you'll get only the first hit and reset the opponent.
