Standing

5A Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 15/1 5 7 12 Any +4/-11 - M o/o - Speed 8/0 5 7 12 Any +4/-11 - M o/o - A slow jab with a bulky hitbox. Tied for the single most active jab in the game at a whopping 7f, matched only by Shigen's 4a.

4A Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 15/1 5 7 9 Any +7/-8 - M x/x - Speed 8/0 5 7 9 Any +7/-8 - M o/o - An incredibly active jab with a sizable disjoint. Incredible tool to wall out opponents as it will catch most hops while out-prioritizing many grounded pokes.

5B Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 27/3 15 2 24 Any +3/-10 - M o/o - Speed 16/0 15 2 24 Any +3/-17 - M o/o - Primarily used in speed chains. Rebounds on block in power

6B Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 50/6 19 5 28 Any -3/-13 - M x/x - Speed 23/0 13 5 28 Any -3/-23 - M x/x - Description.

4B Pushing buttons, are we?

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 43/5 24 4 34 Any KD/-28 - M - - Speed 31/0 16 2 28 Any -3/-20 - M - - Basically an entirely new move in either power or speed, but in both cases this move has super armor during startup and can serve as a rather effective anti-air due to it. Causes Hard Knockdown. Against airborne, you can get run in OTG throw afterward.

5C Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 15/1 9 4 20 Any -1/-16 - M o/o - Speed 14/0 9 4 20 Any -1/-16 - M o/o - Hits OTG.

6C Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 8+24/1+3 7 2-3 28 Any -/-23 - M o/o None Speed 4+21/0+0 7 2-3 28 Any -/-23 - M x/x None A 2 hit normal that will cause a wallbounce on the second hit. LB2 Shigen 6C2.png 2nd hit

BC(Power) Text	Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech 61 45~65 2 44 Any KD - UB x/x None An unblockable which can be held to extend the startup and increase damage. Due to the insanely long minimum startup and mediocre rewards, this move is not particularly useful.

BC(Speed/EX) Text	Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech 19/0 22 3 23 Any -/-20 - H x/x - An overhead that will cause a crouching opponent to stagger. Launches otherwise.

3C (OTG) Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 26/3 20 1 34 Ground N/A - N/A x/x - Speed 21/0 20 1 34 Ground N/A - N/A x/x - Hits OTG.

Special Taunt

START A round of applause	Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech 2 30 - - Any -18 - UB x N/A A unique taunt with a hitbox tied to it. Technically unblockable, however it can be crouched under (and has slow enough startup for the opponent to do so on reaction). Unsafe on hit. Deals a very slight amount of damage, meaning you can technically end the round with this.

Crouching

2A Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 15/1 5 5 13 Any +5/-10 - M o/o - Speed 14/0 5 5 13 Any +5/-10 - M o/o - Cancelable 2A in power mode, making it a reliable confirm to 214A 236236AB. Links from 4A

2B Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 17/2 22 2-2 30 Any -5/-10 - L x/x - Speed 14/0 22 2-2 30 Any -5/-23 - L o/o - A low that's slow enough to become reactable. However, the range on this move can give it some utility as a poke. Can only combo after a dashing A/B in speed or ex mode. LB2 Shigen 2B2.png 2nd hitbox

2C Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 15/1 5 3 16 Any +4/-11 - L x/x - Speed 14/0 5 3 16 Any +4/-11 - L o/o - Description.

Air

jA Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 15/1 1 5 N/A Any N/A - H x/x - Speed 11/0 1 5 N/A Any N/A - H x/x - The 1f startup on this normal makes it difficult for many characters to contest directly, as they will need to throw out an air-to-air preemptively rather than reacting to the fact you jumped.

jB Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 30/3 15 2 N/A Any N/A - H x/x - Speed 13/0 15 2 N/A Any N/A - H x/x - Description.

jC Text	Version Damage Startup Active Recovery State Frame Adv Meter Guard Cancel Tech Power 15/1 3 8 N/A Any N/A - H x/x - Speed 11/0 3 8 N/A Any N/A - H x/x - This move's solid air-to-ground priority and myriad of active frames make it an effective tool for covering a variety of options in the vein of a body splash.

descriptions about each speed combo routes, dont know about any detail or form around these sections.

1. H, H, H, M, H, H, H, H, Throw. As all universal routes are, this is worst one by far. don't use this. does only 113 damage and they can block all by standing.

2. H, H, H, M, H, H, M, L, L, H. It does somewhat low damage for low route, 125 damage. they can recover after this and it leaves them pretty far away so you lose your offense turn. Don't use this as well. might try some mixup around with latter ones.

3. H, H, H, L, H, M. Your goto. it does 115 damage. but you can follow into 4B then OTG throw (CD). it will do 151 damage. highest possible damage for Speed Shigen.

4. H, H, H, L, M, H, H, H, H. Your second goto. does less damage than launcher route, 133 damage, but its hard knockdown and has fast enough recovery to add a run up OTG throw. total 146 damage.
