==Overview==
==Overview==
Hibiki in general is the type of character who uses her long reaching normals to control space, if you've played [[Samurai Shodown VI|Samurai Shodown]] she is basically a female Ukyo Tachibana, and her B buttons are also great in this game. No matter the mode you choose. She's very strong in both Power and Speed/EX modes, Power being more focused on space control, neutral and punishes, while Speed is more focused on rushdown and pressure.

|-
! scope=row | Power
|
* Outstanding neutral, punishes deals about 1/4 health sometimes.
* Neutral/Defensive gameplay.
|
* Has to commit to reads against certain MUs, which can be dangerous.
* Optimized combos can be somewhat hard to do, requiring hard links.
|-
! scope=row | Speed
|
* Good, intuitive combos and damage.
* Offensive gameplay, great mixups.
|
* You have some trouble getting in, you'll need reads.
* You're very negative on your normals, so you'll get punished often, if you don't cancel properly
|-
! scope=row | EX
|
* Same as speed
|
* Getting punished is even worse, as you take more damage
* You can't 623B into 236A/B or 41236C
* The extra damage is minimal
|}
==Strategy==
Hibiki's best way of dealing damage is by zoning out her opponents, but in Speed and EX modes she works aggressively as well. If you're going to play with her in power, learn how to use your B normals, especially 6B and 5B on power her 2B is pretty bad, but it can be cancelled on block in case you make a mistake. And your A normals, for pokes and confirms. 5B is going to be your best friend, it's a 3f anti-air (Takes 9f to get to the ground) and cancels into everything, it's simply good. Your bnb in power are going to be these two:
(j.X) 5B 236A/B
(j.X) 4A 4A 5A 236A/B
The difference from one another is that the second option deals a little more damage. The optimized version is, however
(j.X) 5B 623B (changes sides) dash 3B
Doing 663BCD is going to help a lot doing this link consistently
If you're going to play in speed, they won't be as necessary as your main focus of damage will be your combos with A starters, for example,
4A 5AA/{5A2A} 5B 236A/B
4A 5AA/{5A2A} 2B BC 236A/B
Which is your bnb in that mode.

*Be careful when deciding to use this to otg. Many characters can punish it if they get up normally and are close to you, especially when cornered. It’s not as bad as Setsuna’s 3B in this regard but in many cases it may be better to use 5C as an otg attack for safety.

Learning 4A, 2C and 2C, 4A links are a must, as they make 4A/2Cx3 way easier, mostly because it's a move slow enough you can react to it if you're paying attention.

Still pretty useful as throws are good, if it whiffs, you'll hear a gasp. You can hold any direction while doing it

|description=Incredibly stylish and hard to combo into. It can be confirmed from quick pokes such as 4A and 5A if you’re close enough, as well as 5B, dashing high, and 2B (in ex). Up close it is an unblockable hit grab, which means it can’t catch an opponent who is throw invincible during block stun (this doesn’t apply to opponents in hit stun). It’s possible to be deflected as well. The initial active frames that trigger the locked animation can hit on either side of Hibiki, making things like dash under sdm or AB~6C sdm as you run through opponents possible.
* If connects near opponent, makes a flash of light and deals %50+ damage (On Hit ver)
* If opponent is a distance away, will strike upwards with less damage (On Whiff ver)

Hibiki is a very fun character, during matches you won't be doing much more than your BnBs, but it's possible to make her a powerhouse. One of her best characteristics, is that both her Power and Speed damage outputs are similar, so you can freely choose the one who best suits our playstyle.
Hibiki is a very fun character, during matches you won't be doing much more than your BnBs, but it's possible to make her a powerhouse. One of her best characteristics, is that both her Power and Speed damage outputs are similar, so you can freely choose the one who best suits our playstyle. Power for a more defensive gameplay, and Speed for a more offensive gameplay.
NOTE: Before every combo, except dp+C and dash+A/B starters, you can add use a jX starter.
 
===Any Mode===
''NOTE: Before every combo, except those with 623C and 6[6]A/B (Dash A/B) starters, you can use a jX starter.''<br \>
dp+C qcf+A/B
''NOTE: In both modes, you can exchange a 4A for a 2C (except during chain combos on Speed mode), with a harder link but a low starter. The damage is the same.''
Only works near corner. qcf+A version must be exactly in the corner.
Dash+A/B qcb+db+f+AB
(jX) B qcb+db+f+AB
Your easiest confirms into DM, you'll probably use this a lot.
(jX) B dp+B qcf+A/B
Doesn't work at certain ranges. qcf+A only works in the corner, qcf+B only near corner and other specific situations
(jX) B dp+B qcb+db+f+AB
Your most optimal DM confirm for power mode, it's basically the same for speed/EX.
Dash A/B f+hcf+B
jB f+hcf+B

====Meterless BnBs====
* [//youtu.be/-W_ysFm9I20 5B xx 236A/B]
* 6C xx 623B
: If it crosses sides, end with a 3B
* Dash A/B xx 236A/B
* 4A/2C, 5A xx 236A/B
====Metered BnBs====
* 2C xx 2146ab
* 5B xx 2146AB
* 6C xx 2146AB
* j.X, 641236B
: You're not going to use this one much
* 2C/4A/5A xx 641236B
: Sometimes it won't 'combo' but will connect, you can do a 6A to start buffering
 
====Optmized meterless BnBs====
* [//youtu.be/fDAVRwuVkps 4A, 4A, 5A xx 236A/B]
* 4A/2C, 4A/2C, 4A/2C, 4A/2C, 5A xx 236A/B  
: Only works on crouching Mukuro. If he's not crouching, do 4Ax3
* [//youtu.be/wI1l6K56j7k 5B xx 623B, Dash, 3B]
* Dash A/B xx 623B, Dash, 3B
: Buffering dash and doing 3BCD helps a lot, input would be 663BCD
* deep crossup j.B 4A, 5B xx 236A/B
: Only works on Juzoh, Amano, Shigen and Kouryu. Deep crossup j.B is required 4A, 5B is a tight link, so practice it
 
====Optmized metered BnBs====
* 4A, 2C, 4A, 5A xx 2146AB
: You'll find it easier to do it like that because 4A makes you go backward, making you miss the third 4A. Do 5A as 214A and then do 6AB quickly
* [//youtu.be/FV302p1ft-U 5B xx 623B xx 2146AB]
: 623B has to cross sides, most optimized confirm for 2146AB DM if you add a j.B starter
====Corner and near corner only====
* 5B xx 623B, 236A/B
: A version has to be done exactly in the corner. If you delay too much, 236B whiffs. Theoretically possible to do in the corner
* 6C xx 623C, 3B
 
===Speed and EX Mode===
===Speed and EX Mode===
* EX can't cancel 623B xx 236A/B
====Bread and Butter combos====
====Bread and Butter combos====
(jX) A B C dash df+B
* [//youtu.be/nvgTYmjq1TU 5A > 5B > 5C (Dash, 3B)]
This is a simple combo every character can do, use if you're a beginner. Get used to the timing of the dash, it's going to be very useful.
: If you're in the corner, you don't need to dash for the 3B to reach
Dash+A/B d+B BC qcf+A/B
* 4A > 5AA > 5B (Ender)
This combo is situational, if dash+A/B hits from max distance, d+B won't hit neither BC. Only qcf+A/B (A has easier timing and deals more damage)
: Doing 4AAA works as 4A 5AA
(jX) b+A A A/d+A B BC qcf+A/B
* [//youtu.be/-plvLs6idZ0 4A > 5A > 2A > 5B/2B into (Ender)]
Easiest BnB she has in these modes
: You have many variations on how to end Speed and EX combos, and they'll be listed in the next section
(jX) b+A A A/d+A d+B BC qcf+A/B
=====Combo Enders=====
Optimized version of the above combo, timing is slightly harder
* > 6B
(jX) b+A A A/d+A d+B/B qcb+db+f+AB
* > 6C, (3B)
Same as the above, but for super. d+B deals more damage but it's slightly harder to confirm.
: Range dependant
 
* xx DM
====Speed Mode Only====

Dash+A/B d+B dp+B qcf+B

====EX Mode Only====

(jX) b+A A d+A d+B dp+B qcb+db+f+AB
: Very important combo, fandango confirm
(jX) b+A A d+A d+B f+hcf+B
* > 3C (3B)
Both are super confirms, the first for your DM and the second for your SDM
* 5BC, Normal
: 5BC, 5B Setups a 236B if you can time it right, high risk
: 5BC. nA/C Only works in the corner
: 5B xx 5BC Will sometimes whiff, can't be recommended

==Strategy==
==External Links==
Hibiki's best way of dealing damage is by zoning out her opponents, but in Speed and EX modes she works aggressively as well. If you're going to play with her in power, learn how to use your B normals, especially f+B and B. And your A normals, for pokes and confirms. B is going to be your best friend, it's a 3f anti-air (Takes 9f to get to the ground) and cancels into everything, it's simply good. Your bnb in power are going to be these two:
[https://docs.google.com/document/d/12xXamlJKuq3OLH74la6SOHOKP-DqsE6GqoWhIVr5fQ0/edit?usp=sharing How to P-Hibiki] by [https://twitter.com/SakurakoOomuroo Sakurako Oomuro]
(jX) B qcf+A/B
(jX) b+A b+A A qcf+A/B
The difference from one another is that the second option deals a little more damage. The optimized version is, however
(jX) B dp+B (changes sides) dash df+B


If you're going to play in speed, they won't be as necessary as your main focus of damage will be your combos with A starters, for example,

Overview

Hibiki in general is the type of character who uses her long reaching normals to control space, if you've played Samurai Shodown she is basically a female Ukyo Tachibana, and her B buttons are also great in this game. No matter the mode you choose. She's very strong in both Power and Speed/EX modes, Power being more focused on space control, neutral and punishes, while Speed is more focused on rushdown and pressure.

Style Strengths Weaknesses
Power
  • Outstanding neutral, punishes deals about 1/4 health sometimes.
  • Neutral/Defensive gameplay.
  • Has to commit to reads against certain MUs, which can be dangerous.
  • Optimized combos can be somewhat hard to do, requiring hard links.
Speed
  • Good, intuitive combos and damage.
  • Offensive gameplay, great mixups.
  • You have some trouble getting in, you'll need reads.
  • You're very negative on your normals, so you'll get punished often, if you don't cancel properly
EX
  • Same as speed
  • Getting punished is even worse, as you take more damage
  • You can't 623B into 236A/B or 41236C
  • The extra damage is minimal

Strategy

Hibiki's best way of dealing damage is by zoning out her opponents, but in Speed and EX modes she works aggressively as well. If you're going to play with her in power, learn how to use your B normals, especially 6B and 5B on power her 2B is pretty bad, but it can be cancelled on block in case you make a mistake. And your A normals, for pokes and confirms. 5B is going to be your best friend, it's a 3f anti-air (Takes 9f to get to the ground) and cancels into everything, it's simply good. Your bnb in power are going to be these two:

(j.X) 5B 236A/B
(j.X) 4A 4A 5A 236A/B

The difference from one another is that the second option deals a little more damage. The optimized version is, however

(j.X) 5B 623B (changes sides) dash 3B

Doing 663BCD is going to help a lot doing this link consistently

If you're going to play in speed, they won't be as necessary as your main focus of damage will be your combos with A starters, for example,

4A 5AA/{5A2A} 5B 236A/B
4A 5AA/{5A2A} 2B BC 236A/B 

Which is your bnb in that mode.

Hibiki does a low kick. Primary use is an alternate otg. Slower to come out than 3B, deals less damage, and has less range. On the flip side it’s always safe to use as an otg (3b can be punished on a neutral wake up for a lot of the cast).

Hibiki slashes downwards.
Hits OTG, Do it with 3BCD so you don't have to dash before it, or if you have to, you don't have to stop and potentially miss it on that case, 663BCD (easier on a stick).

  • Be careful when deciding to use this to otg. Many characters can punish it if they get up normally and are close to you, especially when cornered. It’s not as bad as Setsuna’s 3B in this regard but in many cases it may be better to use 5C as an otg attack for safety.

  • Hibiki does a crouching swing, leaving you with worse framedata on hit in power. In power mode there’s no real good use for this, aside from taking a round when nothing else will reach.
  • In speed it's actually very useful poke since it's cancelable. It’s very quick for a heavy attack , has great range, and confirms cancels nicely into other moves to secure advantage.

Hibiki does a low kick. Deceptively good move, will often catch opponents and is good to mix them up after a j.B, learning to confirm this into DM will take most people by surprise and has a good window to confirm, unlike 4A/5A which have to be done immediately. Learning 4A, 2C and 2C, 4A links are a must, as they make 4A/2Cx3 way easier, mostly because it's a move slow enough you can react to it if you're paying attention. Comes out quick enough people almost never switchguard it as well

Throw. You can always do a 3b after it, dealing 49 (Power) or 43 (Speed) points of damage. If you throw them into a corner and do 3B every character can punish you for it if they wake up neutral, anywhere else is character specific so keep that in mind. Still pretty useful as throws are good, if it whiffs, you'll hear a gasp. You can hold any direction while doing it

Counter movement.
You'll probably never use it in a real match unless you got godlike reads, and even then, deflect would be a better option due to more damage and somewhat better oki.
One very important thing to note is that if you get the right timing, you can hit both C/BC and the ground hit, always dealing 70 damage (BC is recommended due to less recovery) you'll also get an ambiguous mixup.

Incredibly stylish and hard to combo into. It can be confirmed from quick pokes such as 4A and 5A if you’re close enough, as well as 5B, dashing high, and 2B (in ex). Up close it is an unblockable hit grab, which means it can’t catch an opponent who is throw invincible during block stun (this doesn’t apply to opponents in hit stun). It’s possible to be deflected as well. The initial active frames that trigger the locked animation can hit on either side of Hibiki, making things like dash under sdm or AB~6C sdm as you run through opponents possible.

  • If connects near opponent, makes a flash of light and deals %50+ damage (On Hit ver)
  • If opponent is a distance away, will strike upwards with less damage (On Whiff ver)
  • number in parentheses is the gap between the last grab box and the ranged hit.

Combos

Hibiki is a very fun character, during matches you won't be doing much more than your BnBs, but it's possible to make her a powerhouse. One of her best characteristics, is that both her Power and Speed damage outputs are similar, so you can freely choose the one who best suits our playstyle. Power for a more defensive gameplay, and Speed for a more offensive gameplay.

NOTE: Before every combo, except those with 623C and 6[6]A/B (Dash A/B) starters, you can use a jX starter.
NOTE: In both modes, you can exchange a 4A for a 2C (except during chain combos on Speed mode), with a harder link but a low starter. The damage is the same.

Power Mode

For a more in depth view of Power Hibiki combos, please see the doc in #External Links.

  • 4A 4A 5A 236A/B or 2146AB
  • 2C/4A 5A 641236B
  • JB 5B 623B 2146AB

Meterless BnBs

If it crosses sides, end with a 3B
  • Dash A/B xx 236A/B
  • 4A/2C, 5A xx 236A/B

Metered BnBs

  • 2C xx 2146ab
  • 5B xx 2146AB
  • 6C xx 2146AB
  • j.X, 641236B
You're not going to use this one much
  • 2C/4A/5A xx 641236B
Sometimes it won't 'combo' but will connect, you can do a 6A to start buffering

Optmized meterless BnBs

Only works on crouching Mukuro. If he's not crouching, do 4Ax3
Buffering dash and doing 3BCD helps a lot, input would be 663BCD
  • deep crossup j.B 4A, 5B xx 236A/B
Only works on Juzoh, Amano, Shigen and Kouryu. Deep crossup j.B is required 4A, 5B is a tight link, so practice it

Optmized metered BnBs

  • 4A, 2C, 4A, 5A xx 2146AB
You'll find it easier to do it like that because 4A makes you go backward, making you miss the third 4A. Do 5A as 214A and then do 6AB quickly
623B has to cross sides, most optimized confirm for 2146AB DM if you add a j.B starter

Corner and near corner only

  • 5B xx 623B, 236A/B
A version has to be done exactly in the corner. If you delay too much, 236B whiffs. Theoretically possible to do in the corner
  • 6C xx 623C, 3B

Speed and EX Mode

  • EX can't cancel 623B xx 236A/B

Bread and Butter combos

If you're in the corner, you don't need to dash for the 3B to reach
  • 4A > 5AA > 5B (Ender)
Doing 4AAA works as 4A 5AA
You have many variations on how to end Speed and EX combos, and they'll be listed in the next section
Combo Enders
  • > 6B
  • > 6C, (3B)
Range dependant
  • xx DM
  • xx 236A/B
  • xx 623B xx 236A/B
You can delay 236A/B.
  • xx 623B xx DM (ex mode)
  • xx 623B xx 41236C, 22B'
Very important combo, fandango confirm
  • > 3C (3B)
  • 5BC, Normal
5BC, 5B Setups a 236B if you can time it right, high risk
5BC. nA/C Only works in the corner
5B xx 5BC Will sometimes whiff, can't be recommended
  • > 5BC, 236A/B
  • > 5BC, delay (fall) 3B

Super Speed Combos

  • A + B + C + A + B + C + A + B + 236C
  • A + B + C + A + B + C + C + B + 236A
  • A + B + C + 2C + A + 2C + 6BC
  • A + B + C + 2C + A + 6BC + A + 236B
