Introduction

Mash jC all game then claim you're good because you can do the rekka sometimes.

Enja has received important buffs to his mobility and speed with a faster run, an overhead which leaps forward and faster medium slashes. Your WFT is also much better, with its faster startup making it more effective as an anti-air and as a combo tool. Furthermore, Enja has new tools which further boost his damage output, such as a delayed heavy slash similar to Haohmaru's 632146AB and a more damaging rekka ender which you can only perform while in Rage. Overall, Enja is in a much better spot than he was in V Special, more or less due to his damage remaining roughly the same whilst most other characters got hurt by the universal damage nerf, which means you can't brag about how weak your gorilla mash character is anymore.

Data

  • Dash type: Run
  • Damage taken: 97% (2nd Tankiest)
  • Rage retention: 600 (Highest in the game)
  • Rage duration: 8 seconds (3rd Shortest)
  • Miscellaneous: Enja's deflect can not be counter hit.

Gameplan

Enja needs to get in. He works best at close range where he has access hard-hitting strikes, pressure, mixups and explosive damage potential, but any further out than that and he has nothing to threaten the opponent with. Your run is faster than before which helps with this, while you still have access to rolls if you pick II/V Spirit. Your low jump is still more suited for rushdown than it is for jumping over fireballs, which means you still have trouble against taller fireballs such as Charlotte's Tri-Slash. Though you don't have any fast long-ranged pokes to harass with from a distance, you have fast whiff punishes with 5B and 2B which combo into your rekka sequence (236A~236B~236C) even at max range, 66D for a guaranteed knockdown and a slower punish in the form of 5C. Most characters have a button they can use to poke you out of your jumps, but it is at 5B range where you can start applying pressure with your jC, a strong jump-in which also has high vertical reach. A new tool Enja has at this range is 6B, his overhead from V Special which now leaps forward a bit, not only giving you an answer against low pokes but also some mixup opportunity even from a distance. If your opponent isn't trying to zone you out with projectiles/pokes, then simply jumping forward and occupying space with jC can be hard for the opponent to stop. As far as anti-airs go, your Feet of Flames (623D) is unreliable and requires you to mash 4D and 6D to maximize its damage, while your WFT is much more reliable for its fast startup and tall hitbox if you have access to it. Your Annihilating Flames (421D) is a strike-invincible reversal which may also be used as a dependable anti-air, particularly against slower jumps. For air-to-airs your best options are njA, jC and jD.

When he gets close, Enja has strong mixup opportunity with his jC and 6B for overheads (the latter is notable as you can link from it into something damaging if it hits either crouching or as a counter hit), and his 6D, 66D and Hades' Flames (236A) rekka starter for lows. A key aspect of the rekka is that it does pitiful damage except for the final hit, which deals a massive amount of damage (usually around 40%) but requires you to hit the exact middle of the opponent. Not only is this a very small window but it changes depending on the position of where you hit it, so there is no rigid timing and you usually have to eyeball it. If you are in Rage, you gain access to an alternative ender in the form of 236987412AB, which doesn't drain your meter upon completion or activation but it will bump up the damage to around 60%. You still have to time it just the same though, and upon failing either version Enja will be vulnerable on the ground for a lengthy amount of time. Gambling for explosive damage is not the only use for 236A - upon hit it bounces the opponent, and if you don't cancel into 236B you recover well before they do in time for a high/low/throw mixup. So the choice is yours: do you take a chance on the high damage, or do you use your frame advantage to force a mixup?

Regarding Spirit selection, Enja works well with almost all of them thanks to his short Rage Retention and his already high damage output being further boosted in Rage. II is a strong choice, as constant Rage means constant access to invincible poses. Access to rolls grants Enja a solid means around zoning, while his strong WFT is buffed further by its ability to break weapons. Access to 623623BC once per match also gives Enja an enhanced version of 623D which has more of a use as an anti-air. Additionally, Enja can use Toy Transformation to his advantage in neutral, being able to dodge fireballs and punish with 236A. For even more frequent access to WFT, Enja can pick III to manually charge his Rage, which certainly doesn't take long. Additionally he gains access to an air parry, which can add further layers to his jump offense, and a dodge he may use instead of 421D when needs be. IV not only retains this grounded dodge but it also grants him the ability to confirm into 623D and another route into WFT in the form of Continuous Slash II. A quirk with this Spirit choice is that completing Continuous Slash IV will immediately max out Enja's Rage even if he had none to start with. I is an immediately appealing choice. Not only does it make his incredibly short retention even shorter but when in Rage, his Weapon Gauge shoots up to a monstrous 180% - in this state Enja can one-shot Ukyo and other low-defense characters with just 2C 236A~236B~236987412AB. However, Enja is restricted from his WFT in this Spirit which may be a dealbreaker. VI may be considered not just for reliable access to WFT but for the ability to attempt landing 236987412AB and 236BC as much as possible. V Spirit is easily the least useful for Enja as it cuts his Rage time considerably and is geared more towards meditation which is best performed at a range Enja is not suited to fighting in, however Enja could possibly take advantage of State Of Nothingness as a comeback mechanic even without much meditation as he has rewarding mixup options such as his overhead during slowed time.

50 Mid 18 -10~-9 -41 -36 - Yes - No

Enja performs a slow backhand as fire comes out from his cuffs. Has the highest range and damage of his far slashes, but it is ultimately too slow to use reliably and doesn't recoil, making it very risky to counterpoke with. Still usable as a slow punish tool and combo ender, but stick with 5B if you want a poke with actual threat behind it.

45 Mid 16 -2~-1 -20 -15 Recoil, Special Yes - No

Enja does a small hop, performing an uppercut whilst backflipping. It's horizontal reach is bad and it's priority could be better, otherwise it's an amazing punish option and a good meaty. The special cancel window for this move is super late, making it hard to confirm off of if you aren't accustomed to it.

Enja slams his opponent to the wall, then the opponent bounces back. Also does minimal damage, but can help with positioning, particularly if you are in the corner and land 236A. You recover around the same time as your opponent. You can also go into 236C to fish for an attempt at explosive damage.

  • You can't input 214C as an alternative, nor is the input changed when the opponent crosses over Enja. You must input the whole sequence in the same direction you started it.

Behold, the dopamine dispenser, and probably the reason you are playing this character in the first place. If landed, this can deal up to 40% of the opponent's health, but the problem is landing it. You have to hit the exact middle of your opponent in order to go into the last hit, as shown on the second picture. If you fail, you will slowly fall and enter a fully counter-hittable slump that you cannot action out of until the animation is over, as shown in the 3rd image. The slump animation takes a while, enough that your opponent has enough time to circle step/jump behind you to get a full backhit combo. Gambling with this move can either save you or kill you, as it is one of the most punishable moves in the game.

  • Doesn't use any resources and doesn't take you out of Rage when properly landed.

If 236C was a dopamine dispenser, then this move is an entire factory of dopamine creation. Imagine 236C, but instead of dealing 40% of your opponent's health, you deal 60%. You still have to hit the opponent in the middle, and the recovery on the slump is even WORSE than before, but the reward for landing this can be entirely game-changing and round-ending, for you or your opponent.

Enja does waterfall kicks despite being a fire demon. Anti-air with horrid horizontal range but it's his most consistent combo ender.

26 Mid - - - - Samurai Drive No Hit No

Similar to Kazuki's old exploding pants, but Enja does not travel backwards. This means on hit, you can close the gap easier, but makes it much easier for the opponent to punish on block. Can be used as a chipping tool to close rounds.

51 Mid - - - - Samurai Drive No - No
  • Has one hit of armor.
  • Can reflect projectiles if timed properly. Due to the long startup of this move, however, makes it only a gimmick as the opponent can easily react to it and punish.

A delayed heavy slash similar to Haohmaru's 632146AB, but it lunges forward and causes a wallbounce on hit. Useful againt rolls after 3D/66D as this catches short rolls and long rolls usually can't punish in time. If they don't tech, congrats, you've lost your turn on a character with zero neutral and poor defense.

- - - - - - Special No Yes No

Due to being invincible for it's entire duration, Enja can actually get a lot of mileage from this in neutral to dodge fireballs and punish them using 236A.

  • Cancellable early with ABCD, but Enja will still fall into a slump for a while, though not nearly as bad as 236C's.

Enja's WFT has been buffed with faster startup, allowing it to combo from more starters whilst still being useful as an anti-air with it's upper body invincibility. To not look the same as Kazuki's WFT in this game, it uses sprites from his Overkill in V Special.

2, 1x9, 45 (Catch), 26 (Catch Whiff) Mid - - - - - No - Both

A more damaging version of 623D with a unique animation if the first couple hits catch the opponent. If the catch whiffs, you'll land the last kick and deal lower, but still decent damage. Same horizontal issues with 623D also apply to this move.

Combos

236A can always be followed up with by the full rekka sequence.

Standard Combos

  • 5D/66B > 623D - Only moves which combo into 623D normally.
  • 5B/n5B/2B/2C > 236A/236AB - Basic combos. Starters from the combo above will also work.
  • 6B, 66B > 236A - Overhead combo. Opponent must be hit crouching in order to work. Difficult on regular hit, but much easier to perform on counter hit.
  • 6B, 5C/66C/66D/236AB - Counter hit links from overhead. WFT must be done from a microdash in order to work.
  • 6B, 5D > 623D - Corner only overhead combo. Opponent must be hit crouching in order to work. Much easier to perform on counter hit.
  • 6D, n5B/n5C/623D/236AB - Notable links from regular 6D.
  • 6D, 5C/2C - Links from counter hit 6D. 2C is preferred because it combos into 236A, but it will whiff if you aren't close enough.
  • 2C/jC > 41236C - Requires a counter hit either way, but jC will deephit against a crouching opponent.

Continuous Slash (IV)

  • A+B BBC > 623D/236AB - Basic CS 2 combo that leads into kicks or WFT.
  • A+B AABBCCC - Not usually worth noting, but Enja's very short Rage retention means that if he lands this he gets Raged instantly. None of these hits are special cancellable.
  • 6B/6D, A+B BBC > 623D/236AB - Overhead/low combo leading into kicks/WFT. One of his best sources of reliable and consistent damage that isn't dependent on rekka or counter hit jC. 6D > A+B works anywhere but you will have to do a microdash if 6D lands at it's max range. For 6B > A+B to work midscreen you have to do a microdash, but it will work in the corner without having to do one.
