Gameplay Overview

Normals

Standing

st. A: Xanadu hooks a hand forward. It's a pretty slow move with stubby range, but it's safe on block. Special cancel-able, whiffs on some crouching opponents.

st. B: Xanadu kicks forward and inches toward his opponent. Big range, safe on block. Special cancel-able

st. C: Xanadu steps forward with a shove at his head level. Slow button and moves Xanadu forward. Possible anti-air but it could cross under jumps. A bit minus on block, but can hit opponent from almost half screen. Has auto-guard frames during the start.

st. D: Xanadu steps forward about 25% of the screen and headbutts his opponent. This move is super slow on startup, but safe on block. Xanadu's head has auto-guard and can power through projectiles. Super cancel-able.

Close

cl. A: Xanadu raises a hand upward. Decent range and hits pretty high off the ground, quick and safe. Can chain into cr. A, and st. B, and is special cancel-able.

cl. B: Xanadu raises his knee. Quick start-up, safe on block, & special cancel-able.

cl. C: Xanadu hits the opponent's midsection. This move comes out a little faster than most of his normals, and is pretty safe on block. Special cancel-able.

cl. D: Xanadu headbutts his opponent twice. The move is pretty quick to start and is safe on block, and unless the opponent is jumping, both hits should connect. Special cancel-able.

Crouching

cr. A: Xanadu pokes his opponent (literally). This move is pretty fast to come out, is plus on block, and has great range (for Xanadu). Can chain easily into self for an easy hit confirm into a special move.

cr. B: Xanadu slides on his knees about 20% of the screen forward. This move hits low, but is slow on start up, and INCREDIBLY unsafe on block. Be careful with this one. Cancelling it into Finding will make it (a little) safer.

cr. C: Xanadu's sweep. He crawls at the ground, looking for his contact lenses. This move has two hitboxes, both dealing 70 damage. Only one can hit. If the second hit misses, this move is very unsafe. This move is cancel-able and can be used to fake people out (e.g.: Cancel from the first swipe into The Pleasure so they block low and get hit by The Pleasure)

cr. D: Xanadu kicks up at the air. This is a nice anti-air because it knocks the enemy further up into the air, albeit a bit minus on block.

Jumping

j. A: Xanadu strikes his palm forward. A nice fast button but kind of stubby. This move does 40 damage if shorthopped.

j. B: Xanadu sticks his legs out downward and diagonally. This is a big hitbox but is a little slow to come out. Press this button to jump in if you like. This move does 40 damage if shorthopped.

j. C: Xanadu forces both palms out in front of him. This is kind of slow to come out, but it can probably beat most things in the air. Use at your own discretion.

j. D: Xanadu dives his head down. Slow on start up, but hits downward and crosses up easily.

Blowback

st. CD: Xanadu swipes up from the ground and hits the enemy. It's slow on startup and, despite its animation, hits mid.

j. CD: Xanadu does a jump body splash. He has a big hitbox but it's pretty slow.

Special Moves

The Sorrow - (qcb + A/C)

Xanadu runs forward, waving his arms like a windmill. This move can catch aerial opponents, and has a decently quick startup.

Light punch (A) version: 97 damage, 2 hits dealing 50 damage each before scaling. If the first hit misses, the opponent will not be knocked down. Xanadu travels 40% of the screen. Combos from lights & is the best way to combo into most of his supers. If you hit an airborne opponent, you just get one hit. Unsafe on block.

Heavy punch (C) version: 124 damage, 4 hits dealing 30 damage each and 40 on the last hit before scaling. If the first 3 hits miss, the opponent will not be knocked down. Xanadu travels halfway across the screen. Slower than the light punch (A) version. Super cancel before 4th hit for best results. More difficult to punish than the light punch version.

All versions hard knockdown for a good cross up set up. Jump forward for a cross up j. D.

EX: More damaging. Incredibly unsafe on block. Xanadu travels full-screen length.
