Samurai Shodown VI/Gen-An

Introduction

Gen-An is still a cheap bastard. Very strong pokes, effective setplay with poison puffs and the addition of a wall dive all make for one annoying matchup. The roll can be punished so don't be a scrub.

Data

• Dash type: Step
• Damage taken: 109%
• Rage retention: 180
• Rage duration: 14 seconds

Gameplan

Gen-An has a pretty solid poking game. 5B, 2A and 2B are all good pokes which reach further than you would expect, and at poking range he can use his extremely fast step dash to close the gap and go for throws, usually backed up by 2D for tick throw attempts. 5C is a very strong punish tool, but with its inability to recoil and Gen-An's questionable defense rating you have to be absolutely sure it's going to hit. Gen-An is spoiled for anti-airs as well, with his 2C being particularly strong and his air-to-airs in jB and jC being quite serviceable as well, especially the former which actually hits above him as well as in front. These air-to-airs can be further combined with Triangle Get Off for more pestering if Gen-An finds himself in the corner. Additionally he can use his roll (623S) to punish both on the ground and in the air for its huge hitbox around him and its ability to score a knockdown.

Gen-An mainly wants to set up poison puffs (236S), which are useful for occupying space and for locking the opponent in place for a mixup. Talon Claw (63214D), a fullscreen chain poke, has the unique property of bringing the opponent close to Gen-An if they block it, but he is only advantageous if he has a puff in front of him for them to be pulled into. 63214D is susceptible to jump-ins and the puff beforehand is telegraphed, so Gen-An can play with this threat and opt to fish with his anti-airs instead. If Gen-An sets up a puff over an opponent's knockdown safely he can then go for wall dives (214S~S) safely without the opponent being able to escape them. These work exactly like Vega's wall dives in that Gen-An will target the opponent's position as he leaps off the wall, but he can alter his movement left or right not only for ambiguous crossups but also for fakeouts by steering away from the opponent, allowing him to bait something big like an anti-air attempt. Additionally, he can simply fall off the wall (214[S]~D) to get a Triangle Get Off instead, which has its uses for pressing an advantage and for a defensive poke if an opponent in neutral tries to stop you. If you're familiar with how Vega works you'll probably do just fine with Gen-An.

Gen-An builds Rage quickly and he gains access to a very strong WFT which he holds onto for long. He doesn't get much out of IV Spirit's Continuous Slashes and he appreciates having a disarmed opponent on his hands, so II Spirit is the way to go. In addition to giving him a free reversal after getting Raged, II also grants Gen-An extra mobility with the advanced movement system, with roll cancels being particularly useful for evading and spacing.

A A 3 Mid - SKD - - Samurai Drive No - Both B B 3 Mid - SKD - - Samurai Drive No - Both C C 3 Mid - SKD - - Samurai Drive No - Both Gen-An takes a moment to fetch his bottle of poison, then blows a massive purple cloud in front of him. Strength determines the distance. The cloud's hitbox will stay dormant as long as it remains transparent but will turn active once it turns opaque. This deals very little damage but once it's active it will stay out for a while, covering a decent amount of ground and causing a soft knockdown on hit. This is great for setplay, as if you set this up then perform a light wall dive then if the opponent blocked the puff then the ensuing 50/50 will leave the opponent with very few opportunities to escape. Against taller opponents, poison puff can be used to threaten a high/low mixup between 4D and 2D/3D. Otherwise, as a zoning tool, it can be used to make many of his pokes safe.

A A 6+6 Mid - SKD - - Samurai Drive No - No B B 9+9 Mid - SKD - - Samurai Drive No - No C C 11+8 Mid - SKD - - Samurai Drive No - No Gen-An immediately starts spinning forward, covering the area around him. If this makes contact with the opponent or the wall then Gen-An will bounce back, still spinning around him until he hits the ground, in which he will recover instantly. This deals low damage unless Gen-An makes contact, which will result in decent damage and a soft knockdown. Strength determines the movement speed, how far Gen-An travels before stopping, the damage output on contact and the size of his jump. 623C is Gen-An's most reliable combo ender but other strengths will work from close mediums. These are all viable as anti-airs and recoil cancel options and are tricky to punish.

On hit it does very little damage while pushing the opponent back a fair bit - up close Gen-An can link from this into 5C or 623C. On block, however, it actually pulls the opponent next to him. On its own Gen-An is minus after doing this, but the opponent is left out far enough that you can't be punished with a throw. If you have set up a puff to pull the opponent into the Gen-An will be plus. The opponent will be air reset if hit by this while airborne.

Gen-An performs a backward jump where he cannot perform any moves. If this touches the wall he clings onto it then jumps off. Strength determines how far back he jumps and then high up he leaps, which can be used to mess with the opponent's anti-airs and can aid in timerscam. Gen-An leaps off the wall targeted at the opponent's current position, but he can alter his trajectory by moving the stick left or right. This is great for crossups and for baiting anti-airs.

This combos from pretty much everything you'd need it to and can be used as a fullscreen punish.

Standard Combos

• n5B/n5C/n2B/5D 623C/236AB - Weaker versions of 623S may be used in some situations but it's not worth it.
• 63214D, 5C/623C - Point blank links. If done any further out these will whiff.
• n5C 63214D, 236AB - Surprisingly, this works from anywhere n5C will hit.
• n5C/2C, 2B - Mainly for tacking on extra damage after 2C. 2A works as well and is easier.
• n5C/2C, n5B/n2B - Backhit only.
• 4D 623C - Counterhit only.

Setplay

• 236A, 2D/4D, n5C 236A, 2D/4D, n5C 236A... - Gen-An's setplay, best used in the corner. n5C special cancels, allowing for continuous setup of 236A. You can mix in throws to this loop, as poison cloud hits during throws much like Genjuro's card. This must be done quickly, as it is vulnerable to throws.

Continuous Slash (IV)

• n5C, A+B - Backhit only.
• A+B BBC 623A/236AB/236A/B - 623S causes an air reset when used here, so 623A is the only version that doesn't leave him vulnerable on hit. You may want to go with AABBCCC to boost your Rage or to set up another poison cloud.

Rage Explosion (IV, V)

• (knockdown, corner) 236A, ABC, ABC - Unblockable corner poison cloud into Fatal Flash. Powerful finishing move that completes Gen-An's setplay.
• (knockdown, midscreen) 236A/B, ABC, ABC - Unblockable poison + Fatal Flash setup. At midscreen, you have to time the Rage Explosion and 236B.

State of Nothingness (V)

• (corner) n5C 63214D, D+E - Gen-An is able to link State of Nothingness from close 63214D in the corner. Additional followups are dependent on the amount of blue health built up.
• 2D/4D, D+E - Counter-hit only
