Samurai Shodown VI/Iroha

Introduction

Iroha is defined by two things as far as movement is concerned: her double jump, which allows her to play a sort of footsies in the air and position herself for zoning, setups and crossups, and having a step dash instead of a run. Some returning characters have also replaced their run with a step yet they don't get quite as much mileage out of this new system as Iroha, whose steps not only travel far and fast enabling easy pressure after a knockdown but who also has normals designed around the step's limitations. Her feather shots leave her advantageous and can be tiger knee'd for different properties, and furthermore Iroha has an assortment of normals which can be kara cancelled into her air specials making her execution somewhat technical. Iroha is very strong in this game so the time it will take you to figure out these quirks is well worth the investment.

Data

• Dash type: Step
• Damage taken: 110%
• Rage retention: 180
• Rage duration: 9 seconds (4th Shortest)

Gameplan

Iroha is a crane with a sore foot. This means you will be hopping instead of running, 'flying' with double jumps, throwing feathers for frame advantage and space control and squabbling your opponent with forward hops, strong meaties and quirky mixup options. Your vitality and damage output are both pretty low, so you'll have to be ready to switch between zoning with feathers and dashing in their face on the fly.

The first thing you must know about Iroha is how her step works. She can't run, which means she has no running normals nor can she run-up grab as seamlessly as other characters are able to. Furthermore while her backdash is cancellable into air specials, her step is not. However, your step not only travels extremely far and can hop over very low attacks but it recovers quickly, making it easy to get in the opponent's face and go for either a meaty with n5B which can hit confirm easily, one of Iroha's various overheads (5D 214S up close, 6D 214S from a distance), a crossup over a crouching opponent (6D 623A/B point blank, though this does pitiful damage) or one of her low attacks (2B, 2D, 3D). If you are in Rage you may be tempted to throw in your WFT as a mixup option, as it is a command grab which deals respectable damage - however, it can be jumped on reaction, so it won't hit unless the opponent is stuck in an attack. 623C and WFT are your invincible reversals. To compensate for her limited ground movement, Iroha has 5C, 3D and 4D for long-ranged punish options. 5C travels extremely far but is unsafe. 4D is not too safe either and doesn't travel as far but it can be cancelled into specials, moreover it can be performed while unarmed.

The extra mobility option of double jumping is very important for Iroha. It not only allows her to change up her air approaches for crossups, reverse crossups and anti-air baits, but also allows her to space her Wind Slash (236S/D) projectiles effectively. These feathers are essential not only for irritating the opponent into making a move but for also leaving you advantageous. Faster versions of feathers have longer recovery which can be circumvented by tiger knee'ing them. However, it is 236A on the ground which gives you the slowest feather and the quickest recovery, allowing you to chase behind it safely or at least let it occupy the lower half of the screen while you control the skies. Using feathers in conjunction with your extra mobility options is key for not only controlling space and making your way in but for keeping Iroha herself safe, as her defense is quite low.

Spirits

Iroha is an odd bird, with a command grab for a WFT and a short Rage timer. This means she can't confirm into WFT the same way most other characters can, but she can guarantee WFT after Pursuit and on close range punishes.

• I Spirit foregoes WFT entirely in favor of a massive Rage damage bonus and long range Hyper Slash. While her Rage build is good, her short duration (further reduced slightly in I) makes capitalizing on the damage bonus more difficult and her Hyper Slash does poor damage. She also gains no defensive or movement options in this Spirit, though she still has 646D to compliment her good buttons.
• II Spirit makes the most of WFT hits by breaking the opponent's weapon, but she won't get as many opportunities to land it. She can also try to set it up with rolls, but bear in mind it's jumpable after the superflash. II also gives her one time access to her Secret Move, along with ducks and hops for defense.
• III Spirit lets Iroha charge Rage manually and gives her infinite Rage at low health, so she gets more opportunities to land WFT. III also has a slight Rage duration penalty, however. She gets dodge and circle step as defensive options.
• IV Spirit's Continuous Slash builds massive Rage on her CS4 combo thanks to high Rage retention, and her quick CS starter means she has plenty of chances to use it. She gets dodge and circle step in this Spirit as well, along with Rage Explosion and Issen.
• V downplays WFT in favor of meditating for State of Nothingness. Iroha can easily create space to meditate safely, and she has great mixup that doesn't knock down and a launcher in 4D for unburstable combos. She also gets rolls, duck, hop, and a forward hop in this Spirit, though if you're meditating then you'll have fewer opportunities for roll cancel command grabs.
• VI avoids the issue of low Rage duration by giving her infinite duration. She'll build meter more slowly than in other Spirits, but can hold WFT for guaranteed reward. Mikiri dodges help maximize her punish game, and Hyper Guard creates space and lets her turn situations around quickly in exchange for some meter. It also gives her repeated access to her Secret Move at low health.

Can be cancelled into ground specials on hit or whiff, ideally her 214A or 623B for combos. The startup is pretty slow but it reaches over a dash away fast, making it useful as a punishment tool. If spaced correctly you can whiff cancel this into your WFT for a fakeout in a similar fashion to what Blanka can do with his rolling attacks. When unarmed this is the strongest punish tool you have.

C C - Mid - - - - No No - No Iroha shoots a feather straight. Strength determines startup, feather speed and, if grounded, recovery. When performed in the air Iroha will be pushed back a bit as she falls in the same way for each version. For greater strengths of this move you may choose to tiger knee the motion to lessen its recovery, as the feather is suspended a bit above the ground already. 236A has the slowest startup and feather speed but the fastest recovery. This makes it ideal for covering your approach as you hop in, and can even link into 5C or 623A if you are spaced properly. 236C is the opposite, making it more useful for poking. 236B, of course, strikes a balance somewhere in the middle.

D D - Mid - - - - No No - No 236D is a diagonal variant with 236B's startup, 236C's feather speed and the longest grounded recovery by a bit. On the ground the feather goes upward, in the air downward. Though you probably won't be using this move as an anti-air, its angle makes it ideal for locking down the screen and this is aided by your double jump.

C C - Mid - - - - Samurai Drive Yes - No A tatsu-looking move but not necessarily for the same purpose. Strength determines the startup, amount of hits and recovery. 236A has the slowest startup but is safe on block. 236B and 236C invert these and are suitable for combos, and maybe frame traps after 4D. This move beats pretty much everything both in front of and behind Iroha. This makes it a very effective anti-air and 236A in particular a strong pressure tool. The air version is an overhead which is fast enough to combo from anything in the air that's special cancellable. There is no difference between strengths.

In the air these are inverted, and the diagonals will point downward instead of upward. These are mainly combo tools. Grounded 623C is an invincible reversal but be mindful of its bad horizontal range. j236A and j236B can potentially crossup the opponent if spaced correctly, which double jumps can help you with.

The parry itself has a brief active period but the motion makes it easy to OS with a block if they attack a bit earlier than you predict. This will parry anything high enough including fireballs, WFTs and Secret Moves, but will get hit by anything below its guard point. Anything parried will be treated as if it whiffed and Iroha is able to act immediately after a successful parry. Between 5C when armed and 3D otherwise Iroha is more than capable of capitalizing off of good parries.

Has invincibility on startup. Iroha's roll is quite good which helps her to land this move in II and V Spirits, but the downside is that she doesn't stay in Rage for long. In theory this is an effective option for recoil cancels, but it can be jumped on reaction. As such it is only really useful as a reversal or for punishes.

Has invulnerability during startup. This attack has one damaging hit as opposed to multiple hits. Combos reliably from 4D and jD.

Combos

Standard Combos

• n5B 214B/C/623A/B - Standard combo, easy enough to hit confirm. For damage and okizeme 214C is your best ender so use that.
• 2C 214S/623A - Same as above.
• 4D 214S/623S - Stick with 623S for this version, mainly 623B but if it hits close enough try going for 623C for a bit more damage. 214A is the only Pinwheel ender that won't reset them into blocking the rest for a free punish but it whiffs in the corner so don't bother.
• 5D/6D/jD j214S/j623S - Air combos. j214S is your best ender.
• 3C, 236AB - Arcade-only glitch. Iroha can follow up from her pursuit attack with a WFT. This can be re-enabled in console versions by switching the game mode to Arcade.

Secret Move (II, VI)

• 4D/jD SM - Primary confirms into SM. It's fast enough to combo from most normals allowing special cancels, but 4D is the only one that works reliably across the cast and regardless of stand/crouch outside very close range. Don't try it off 5D. jD works pretty consistently in the air.
• 2C 236A, 2D SM - Corner only and only seems to work on Kusaregedo.

Continuous Slash (IV)

• A+B BBC j214S/j623C - Other 623S strengths can be cancelled into but they will only hit once.

State Of Nothingness (V)

• 4D, n5C, ABC - Combo from a launcher in the minimum amount of time you get for State Of Nothingness. Replacing n5C with 2C will make this combo easier but you will do a tiny bit less damage. You can juggle with n5C or jC afterwards if you have extra time.
