  • Plus on block.
  • Whiffs on crouchers.

A flick of the wrist. Has the shortest horizontal hitbox out of all of Ash's light normals, but has good vertical range, as well as a long active hitbox window for a light normal, making it a functional defense against hops. Not cancellable unfortunately, but plus on block. Whiffs on crouchers.

Far B

  • Hits low.

A casual toe tap. Hits low, which is rare for a standing normal. The horinzontal range is surprisingly large, but the lack of vertical range makes is very prone to hops. It's also not very rewarding, being uncancellable, and it's negative on block, but at least plus on hit. You can chain into this from light normals but there's little reason to.

Far C

  • Whiffs on crouchers.

A high palm strike. The hitbox on this is good at stopping hops, but its speed holds it back. Not being cancellable makes it hard to mesh with Ash's kit. It also whiffs on crouchers. You have better options, so avoid using this too often.

Far D

A high angled roundhouse. Strong anti air for jumps in front of Ash. Having a good anti air game meshes well with Ash's kit, so it's recommended to learn the ranges of this move. Whiffs on crouchers unless up close.

25 Mid special 4 3 7 +5 +3 - 30 60
  • Plus on block.

Links into close C. A small backhanded slap. This is Ash's most advantageous normal, making it good at setting up frame traps at close ranges. You can link after this with close C. You can also chain this into other lights if desired. Also does well against hops.

30 Low command 5 4 8 +3 +1 - 30 60
  • Hits low.

Another toe tap. Just like f.B, this is a standing normal that hits low, but this one is cancellable and chains into other lights. 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.

80 Low command 4 4 20 -3 -5 - 70 120
  • Hits low.

A standing sweep. Stronger and slower than c.C. Just like Ash's standing B normals, this hits low. Use over close C when possible.

Crouch Normals

Crouch A

  • Plus on block.

A crouching love tap. Plus on block, and can easily be chained from chainable normals. Ending your blockstrings with this, or setting up your blockstrings so that you can end with this, can help your pressure game. For example, using 2B > 2A on block, stopping there if it is blocked, then going for more pressure, or if it hits, adding another 2B and finishing the combo.

Crouch B

  • Hits low.

A low kick. Ash's standard low starter, and a good one at that. The range is good and since Ash's main combo options off of lights move him forward (4B and [4]6B/BD), being out of range for combos is not an issue. This chains into itself and is neutral on block. You will use this normal frequently.

Crouch C

  • Forces stand.

An uppercut. 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. 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.

Crouch D

  • Hits low.
  • 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.

  • Whiffs on crouchers.

A high air punch. Functions exclusively as an air to air. Angled much higher than j.B, to where it cannot hit crouchers. The range isn't as good, so the only benefit to using this over j.B is the damage.

70 High - 9 4 1 on ground - - - 70 120

A downwards arcing kick. This is Ash's best jump in if you want to land a combo. It has a large forwards and downwards hitbox, good for offense and defense. Hop back j.D can hit standing opponents for a defensive option against a ground approach.

Shatter Strike. The hitbox on this is larger than CD, so it functions well as a defensive option. Especially useful as Ash as the crumple gives him plenty of time to charge and get his full damage combos.

50 Mid super 10 4 13 +4 -2 - 40 80

A forwards sobat kick. 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.

50 Mid super 7 4 14 +3 +1 - 30 80

A backwards sobat kick. 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.

50 Mid super 7 4 14 +3 +1 Low Feet Only: 7 to 10 (4 Frames) 30 80

An in-place sobat kick. The last of Ash's three sobat kicks. Ash stays in place for this one, which makes it less unique of a command normal, but still functions as a solid poke. 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. In juggles this grants a limited juggle state, and is useful for super cancels.

  • Projectile
  • A version throws a slow projectile, C version does a melee attack, then throws a fast projectile
  • EX throws two fast projectiles

Ash's projectile, also referred to as his "Sonic Boom", alluding to Guile from Street Fighter. 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 shortly after throwing the fireball. This travelling slowly and Ash recovering quickly is very strong, as it allows the fireball to fight in tandem with Ash, leaving a constant hitbox on the field as long as it's active. You can run behind it or sit back and have ample time to counter your opponents jump/roll in response to the fireball. The hard truth, however, is that almost every fireball in KOF acts like this, and when we start to compare Ash's fireball to other characters' fireball, the cracks start to show. One, it's not a large fireball. It can be hopped and low profiled under, so the opponent has multiple options to avoid it. Two, it requires a charge motion. Charge time in KOF is short compared to other fighting games; only 30f, but not being able to use it on demand is still a detriment, especially in such a fast paced game like KOF. In most other games with this character archetype, this charge requirement is compensated for by having very short recovery on the move, but Ash's fireball only recovers slighty faster than other fireballs, by 2-4f on average. In fact, to compensate, it has a 17f start up, which is higher than average (Robert's A fireball is 15f start up, Andy's is 13f, to give some examples). In a fireball war, these weaknesses tend to not make a huge difference, but when using this in tandem with trying to form an offense or move around for spacing, the issues can show. Nonetheless, it's a powerful and very important tool you should use frequently. Be sure to avoid sitting on charge the whole round to always have a fireball ready. Move forward when it is advantageous.

C = Ash swipes in front of him, then throws a fast fireball. This is a unique C fireball; most characters will just throw a fast fireball, but Ash does a combo attack. 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. This is strong against the common technique of throwing a slow fireball and chasing after it to force an approach. After nullifying the fireball with the initial swipe, the fireball follow-up will often interrupt the approach, and even if it doesn't, Ash recovers fast enough to be safe. The initial swipe can also act as an anti-air, and the projectile will combo, although this is hard to do on reaction and the range could leave something to be desired. This move can also give Ash an advantage in fireball wars, being able to nullify the first fireball and quickly retaliate with a fast fireball of his own, while recovering fast enough to throw another. Finally, this version is very useful in juggles. The usage of this move is percise, but can be really useful and throw off your opponent's game. One disadvantage this move has is the overall long animation. Although it's able to cover itself very well, making it hard to counter, if your opponent has a projectile invincible attack, they can see the animation of the initial swipe and blow through the follow up projectile with ease. Keep this in mind when considering your match-ups.

EX = Ash throws out two fireballs in quick succession. These fireballs move fast and can be a great option to mix-up your keepout game, throwing off your opponent's timing. The way the fireballs are spread out makes it difficult to jump over, and the swipe Ash does when throwing the fireballs has a hitbox like the C version, further strengthening this against jumps. However it's possible to punish Ash between the two fireballs. You can use this to beat out other fireballs, but unfortunately because the first fireball will clash with the opposing fireball, allowing the second fireball to go through, instead of having the fireball blow through the opposing fireball entirely, you won't always hit the opponent. The way this fireball clashes with other EX fireballs is much better however; despite being only one hit, the first fireball will nullify the opposing EX fireball entirely, allowing the second fireball to go through. The damage on this is above average compared to other EX fireballs as well. This move has a similar issue to the C version, where characters with projectile invincible attacks can react to the first part of the attack to blow through the second one, but the overall speed of this version makes it harder to do. This is a strong neutral tool, but be careful to not blow all of your meter on this, as meter is very important to making Ash threatening.

  • Anti air special
  • B version is fast with no invincibility, D version is slower with invincibility
  • EX version is fast and invincible
  • Super Cancellable on the first hit

A flaming uppercut kick, also referred to as "Flash Kick". 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.

  • 55 frame startups total before Ash can move.
  • A is closest to Ash with D being the furthest away.
  • Does not disappear if Ash is hit.

Ash places a flame on screen which explodes when the opponent walks near it. 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. Against defensive players however, this can be more effective. When the flame is onscreen, if the opponent is about three character lengths away, they will enter a blocking animation if they hold back. preventing them from walking back. This can give Ash a window to move in, as if they want to retreat they'll have to use a more committal option such as backdash or roll. All this is said without mentioning the long start up. It takes 17f for the flame to appear on screen, an additional 20f before the flame can explode, and in total, 55f before Ash can move and block again. There's no way to guarantee a flame on block, but if your opponent is very defensive, you can get away with setting one off of blocked heavies or CD. The ideal flame to place on block is either A or B. The A flame will usually interrupt the opponent if they attempt to poke out. The B flame will explode the soonest as it'll place the flame right on top of the opponent, but they can jump or poke out of it.

The flame is also useful as an oki option. If you end a juggle with a normal, you can cancel the normal into a flame to set one on top of your opponent as they get up. Your options will be either c.D for an air reset, or 2D for a soft knockdown. If c.D juggles midscreen, cancel into a C flame. In the corner, use an A flame.
