Gameplay Overview

Meet the Guile of KOF. Ash Crimson is a zoner-type charge-based character, with the signature projectile and uppercut gameplay ubiquitous with the genre. What Ash brings newly to the table however, is explosive combo potential with his Sans-Culotte install super. His neutral game is easy to understand, but his combo game is complex. Ash can function ok as a point character, as characters will have less anti-fireball tools when meterless, but he excels in the anchor position where he can cash out on your meter to finish a game.
Pros	Cons
Strong fireball/uppercut gameplan. Uppercut is a charge motion making it easy to react to jumps. High damage combos with meter. High meter gain and stun from extended combos. Has oki options with Genie (214 special). Constantly a threat with 214BD, no matter the spacing. Good anti-air normals. Sobat command normals offer a varied midrange game.	Stubby normals, making midrange and close range combat difficult. Midscreen combo routes are lacking. Light confirms can be lacking. Stronger combos are difficult to hit confirm with lack of multihit heavy normals or cancellable command normals. Difficult to confirm combos at range. Requires charge, which removes access to meterless reversal at times and limits punish options. No unique mix-up options without a knockdown. No cross-up.

Not cancellable unfortunately, but plus on block. Whiffs on crouchers.

Ash already has an excellent low in 2B so there's little reason to use this other 2B, but the option is there to potentially trick your opponent into blocking high by standing. Considering Ash has no grounded overheads however, this application is unlikely.

This can cover ranges too far for c.C and too near for f.D. It's also cancellable, letting Ash set projectiles for your opponent to deal with when they recover. On the ground, this can be used as a alternative to c.C or c.D to start heavy combos when you are out of range for close normals. This can come into play especially for Ash since you will need to stay put at times to keep charge. It also allows you keep back charge without accidentally throwing the opponent by inputting this normal as 1C. This normal also forces stand, but stand vs. crouch doesn't play a part in any of Ash's combos, so this is a minor note.

Causes a soft knockdown. Whiff cancellable. A sweep at the legs. In the context of Ash this is a very useful sweep. It is cancellable on hit, block, and whiff, and Ash has excellent cancel options in his command normals or projectiles. You can use this to safely pester the opponent with soft knockdowns and chip damage, barring any smart rolls from the opponent. While this technique is effective, consider the reward you get for landing a 2D compared to a hit confirmed 2B. They have near identical range, and 2B can lead to a combo, which is especially threatening with meter, while 2D will only ever give you a soft knockdown. With that in mind, be careful not to rely on this normal too much, as useful as it is.

One of Ash's three sobat kicks. Despite similar animations, then all have slightly different properties that greatly affect how they are used. 4B moves Ash forward. This sobat is plus on hit but slightly negative on block. Unfortunately, despite the animation, this doesn't go over lows; this applies to all of his sobats. This is Ash's hit confirm sobat, as it allows for easy Max mode and super conversions off of lights. It can also be used to pester opponents at midscreen distance, and move forward while keeping charge. The vertical hitbox is not that high so jumping opponents can cause a problem. It also is the slowest out of the three sobats. One thing to note is that on hit, this move is plus enough to link a [2]8B after. The timing is very tight however; you barely have enough time to charge 2 before the hitstun wears off. It also drops at further ranges. This is a low priority link to learn now that Ash has a more consistent light combo option in [4]6B. In juggle combos this offers no juggle potential, but is used in side swapping Sans-Coulette combos.

Another one of Ash's three sobat kicks. This one moves Ash backwards, pushing him back especially far on block and hit. Plus on hit and on block, but due to the backwards movement, these advantages are hard to utilize. Nonetheless it helps guarantee the safety and cements this sobat as the safe, defensive sobat. Whiff cancelling 2D into 4D and 4B can be confusing for the opponent to deal with. You can also hit poorly spaced jump ins with this. While useful, it's important to think about screen control, as you give up positioning every time you use this move. In juggles this offers the most juggle potential, and will be essential to your extended corner combos.

The frame data and start up is the same as 4D, but the extra speed is more notable here when used for poking. The range is about the same as 2B and 2D, but is harder to hop over.

This is the core of Ash's neutral game, and important in either forcing your opponent to approach recklessly, or using it to approach yourself. A version: This throws out a slow moving, single fireball. Ash recovers from his fireball quicker than most other characters, both allowing him to run behind it to start an offense, or to more easily punish opponents trying to jump or roll around it, and as a result is very useful in his zoning game. The quick recovery also makes it safer on block (-1 at point blank compared to most other characters' -4~-6), and allows Ash to get more plus frames more often, and from more favorable spacings of his projectile. Be wary for Guard Cancel rolls, as they can escape and possibly even hard punish pressure strings with this. C version: Ash swipes in front of him, then throws a faster fireball. The first swipe has short range, but can nullify other fireballs, excluding EX fireballs. The fireball follow-up recovers faster than the A version, has a higher hitbox, and has an extra hitbox on the swiping motion itself, making it harder to hop over. You can use this to mix up your fireball throws with the A version as the first swipe can bait a jump out of the opponent, just for them to get hit out of the air by the real one. Can also be used in fireball wars to nullify the opponent's fireball, and then let Ash throw his own at a faster speed to give himself the initiative. EX version= Ash throws out two fireballs in quick succession. These fireballs move fast and can beat out other projectiles, as well as throw off your opponent's approach. Be careful not to overuse, as the meter could be spent on conversions.

This is Ash's uppercut, and in is important in establishing a threatening neutral game in tandem with his fireball. The motion requires charge meaning you can't use it on demand all the time, but as long as you have charge, the motion makes it very easy to react to jumps with this. B version = The faster of the two uppercuts, at 4f start-up. However this version only has a small amount of head invincibility, making it prone to trade or lose entirely to jump-ins. Primarily you should only use this for combos. This version recovers quickly relatively speaking, allowing for some gimmicky uses such as whiffing it fullscreen to bait an unsuccessful punish or crossing up the opponent after a forward throw. D version = This version is slower but has full invincibility. This is the preferred version to use as an anti-air or reversal. EX version = 1f faster start-up than the D version, with just as much invincibility. A strong uppercut, but often unnecessary to use instead of the D version unless the extra 51 dmg will kill. Saving your meter for a stronger conversion down the line could be a more useful usage of meter.

A unique trap-like projectile that can give Ash a lot of block or hit advantage if it works. Placing one somewhere on screen while throwing fireballs can make for a difficult to navigate maze of hitboxes. However, the explosion is not very large and not very damaging, so the threat is minimal, especially against aggressive opponents that will likely just run past it. However it can be useful to keep turtling opponents stuck, as well as an oki option. Version Damagez (x+y) means the move has two hits.

Combo starter This flame is designed to be placed specifically where your opponent would be pushed back if cancelled from a heavy normal. This leads to some of Ash's strongest combos as it causes a launch. It's also safe on block making it non-committal, aside from the meter usage. Because this only combos from heavy normals, and Ash doesn't have any multi-hitting heavies or cancellable command normals, knowing when Ash gets a guaranteed heavy normal punish can vastly improve your overall damage.

The start up is slower than 214AC so you can't combo into this, but it recovers faster leading to much more block and hit advantage.

This is a combo-focused special move, with some niche uses to catch people off guard in neutral. B version = This is the fast variant of the special that can combo from lights. On grounded hit, this leads to nothing afterwards aside from super cancels. On air hit, you get a short juggle window. Using this alongside fireballs can be effective, as many don't expect such sudden forward movement from someone who's zoning. The move is punishable and has no upper body invincibility however so be careful. D version = The slower variant; can only combo from heavy normals. This version does cause a juggle state, and leads to some of Ash's biggest combos. The slower speed and shorter range makes it hard to use in neutral. This move has no limit on how many times it can be used in a juggle, though because of it's speed, it usually requires setting up to do so. EX version = Fast enough to combo from lights and causes a juggle state. Has the same range as the B version. Easy way to increase your light confirm damage. There's also many ways to extend a juggle combo with this. However the second hit that causes the high juggle only works once in a combo; after the first time, only the first hit will connect leading to a more limited juggle. The speed of this special is notable; you can punish some things that are harder to punish as other characters.

Travels slowly, recovers quickly. Ash tosses out a large, multi-hitting fireball. This has potential to be a strong neutral tool, as the threat of getting hit by this is high and it covers a lot of the screen at once, but spending bar for the chance of a hit is often not worth it in KOF, especially in one with half-bar EX moves. This super is instead incredibly useful for extending combos, particularly in the corner. The 2 bar version has virtually the same frame data, but the projectile itself launches higher and allows for better combos.

Best for Advanced and Climax Cancels. Ash does three Flash Kicks in succession. Comboing into this is much simpler than 236236P, and will usually be used to end combos unless you have more meter for an Advanced or Climax Cancel. The horizontal movement is sometimes not as far as it could ideally be; particularly late cancels from 4B can sometimes cause this to whiff the first kick, causing the combo to drop, so be careful. It also acts as a reversal or anti-air, although usually [2]8D will serve you fine in that regard. [4]6P can be cancelled into this on whiff to catch people trying to evade your projectile by jumping or using a projectile invincible move. The EX version does more damage with a different ender. The start-up is the same.

This is Ash's most defining feature. On activation, Ash causes an explosion around him that launches the opponent directly upwards. This a good and rewarding anti-air, though the input makes it difficult to do without buffering it behind another move. Works well as a reversal however, as you can buffer the A~B~C input behind the knockdown animation. After the initial explosion, Ash will be free to act and glow green for 4 seconds, showing that he is in the Sans-Culotte state (note that this 4 second window doesn't tick during hitstop, so it lasts longer realistically during combos). During this state, his command normals become special cancellable, his special moves that normally require charge can now be executed without charge, and his [2]8K and [4]6K specials are cancellable into command normals. All this combined gives Ash incredible extended juggle combos. Knowing these combos is the key to unlocking Ash's full potential. Note the block disadvantage this move has. Combine that with the 2 bar cost, and this super doesn't have much use outside of combos. If you drop your Sans-Culotte combo, you might be able to use its benefits to re-pick up a combo or safely cause guard damage, but this should never be something to rely upon.

Huge range, but the hitbox travels from Ash up to about 75% of the screen, meaning that it hits sooner the closer Ash is to the opponent. Works as a good anti air. In theory could be used to beat fireballs, but the longer start-up at max range makes it hard to use as such. You should use this in your combos to close out rounds to avoid messing up your more damaging Sans-Culotte combos, but otherwise try to spend the meter on a Sans-Culotte combo instead when applicable.
