Gameplay Overview
Hwa Jai is an extremely offensively oriented character. If played properly he should cause opponents to be constantly alert and afraid, since he has a tool to punish every single option in the game. Essentially Hwa is one of the scariest characters in the game when it comes to cracking defenses and landing hits against turtles, if not the single scariest. He is also one of the harder characters to use well, but the rewards are very obvious to those willing to practice with him for a long time. Unfortunately, he has to power up several times per round. His true strength lies in his Drink Pink state, which gives him several new tools as well as forcing the enemy to be extremely cautious, as basically any hit that Hwa lands can be turned into an extremely powerful combo.
Gameplay Notes
Pros
- Very high cost-effectiveness with single drive combos that deal nearly full-life damage.
- Highest damage non-HD combos in the entire game.
- Likely the single highest abare (ability to combo after a random hit or trade) in the game.
- Strong meterless combos.
- Very quick meter building.
- Can kill with just a 2 meter HD combo.
- Incredible offensive rush down game.
- Can juggle/punish extremely well.
- Very strong poke game both ground-based and air-to-air.
- Invulnerable 3/4 screen clearing shoryu which can lead to over 800 damage from anywhere at the cost of only 1 drive.
- Has an extremely high damage 0 frame grab DM.
- Cannot be zoned when drunk or has 1 meter.
- Strong anywhere in the stage, but even stronger in the corner.
- Can start extremely high damage combos from jump-ins, lows, frametraps, crossups, mid-range pokes and even trades.
Cons
- Needs to drink every 15 seconds, often two or more times per round.
- Can be zoned effectively when he has 0 meter and is not drunk.
- Jump-in normals have extremely low hitstun, meaning that they have to be done very late to combo after them, meaning Hwa is very susceptible to anti-air normals.
- Without at least 1 Drive Cancel his damage becomes merely average.
- Requires meter to power up with Drink Pink.

Strategies
Far Range
- Drink!
Mid Range
- Far D is an extremely fast, good range poke which deals good damage and has great blockstun. Abuse it.
- Standing B has great reach and can be cancelled into d/f+B for a combo or for pressure. It's very safe and abusable.
- d/f+B covers great distance and can go under some pokes, as well as being safe on block and cancellable even if it was not cancelled into.
- qcf,hcb+C has full invulnerability and deals tons of damage. It can be used to beat anything that telegraphs too much, such as a fireball.
- qcb+BD is invulnerable to fireballs and grants a hard knockdown+crossup, as well as being completely safe on block.
- If drunk, then dp+D beats basically everything and gives you a very scary combo with just 1 drive.
Close Range
- st.A and st.B hit crouchers and cause low hitstun while remaining safe. These can be used for pressure or to mix up into a throw with qcf,hcb+A
- qcf,hcb+A is 0 frames, so if anyone is ever too close... feel free to grab them and then cross them up with forward jumping j.D immediately after.
