OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplays

Though young, Shun'ei is a master manipulator of illusions. However, all's not fun and games as his parents disowned him the moment mysterious hands began to form around his body. Luckily, he fell under the wing of legendary martial arts master Tung Fu Rue, where he learned how to come to grips with his new-found powers.
After the defeat of the strange being known as Verse, Shun'ei continued his training in an effort to better control his powers within. He enters the tournament with his friend Meitenkun to further push his abilities to the limit.

Gameplay Overview

Shun'ei is a midrange character with an emphasis on tricky movement and good straightforward pressure when he gets in.

His mobility allows him to rapidly switch his game plan and create opportunities in neutral - backing up to stay safe and bait commitments from the opponent, or closing in with threatening pokes.
Pros Cons
  • Great Mobility and Whiff Punishes: His multiple airdashes and Blau Wing allow for versatile movement in neutral that can make catching Shun'ei tricky. CD is excellent for whiff punishing opponents that try to anti-air you or keep you out with pokes. Shun'ei also has above average grounded movement speed.
  • Midrange Tools: His CD, Aqua Spear, Scarlet Phantom and even 623C/AC allow him to challenge mid-ranged neutral with long range pokes, disjoints, and unique burst options.
  • Solid Okizeme: Shun gets oki off of all his knockdowns except midscreen Aqua Spear, and he's guaranteed at least a safejump if he spends meter in his confirms. Spaced safejumps are also relatively accessible along with infrequent left/right setups.
  • Frametraps and Roll Punishes: Sky Axe (6B) frametraps result in a safejump midscreen at minimum and a combo in the corner. Shun'ei also has great roll punishes (some of which can be option selected in pressure sequences) thanks to his CD, far.C, 214A, 236A/AC, and 236236K.
  • EX Conversions: Shun'ei's EX DP is a consistent and reliable combo special that leads to good damage, meter gain, and safejump okizeme. Being able to combo into it off of light confirms gives Shun'ei solid and efficient half-bar combos.
  • Bad Defense: Shun'ei lacks meterless reversals, instead having to rely on supers. However, Shun'ei does have a few defensive tricks - his Gaianic Burst (236236P) grants a safejump anywhere on the screen, he has some okay abare options, his upper body invuln Rising Efreets can burst through certain pressure sequences, and his Shatter Strike has a naturally solid hitbox with good conversions available on hit.
  • Lack of Fundamentally Solid Mixup Tools: Shun'ei relies on frametraps, staggers, pressure resets, and throws to open up their opponent. 6B > Airdash is essentially a knowledge check/gimmick that can be consistently stuffed by prepared opponents. Mostly left without unique pressure options, Shun'ei will have a hard time against opponents that are willing to be patient, block, and time their throw techs appropriately.

  • Surprisingly solid range, more range than 2D and 2A
  • Whiffs against guarding crouching opponents limiting its use as a pressure tool.
  • Can special cancel, making this Shun'ei's furthest reaching cancellable light normal.

30 Mid super 6 4 12 -1 -3 - 30 60

Hop check normal alternative to far A.

  • Same range as far A, but hits crouching opponents
  • Slightly retracts lower hurtbox, can interact well against lows
  • Slightly more damage than far A, solid for punishes, and can meter dump into Supers or Quick MAX, can also use 2365B>236K for a useful super cancel input shortcut that isn't available with far A
  • Leaves Shun'ei at a frame disadvantage on hit

40 Mid command 9 2 21 -2 -4 - 40 60
  • Poke with a slightly larger than expected hitbox and low recovery. Can cancel into command moves or his special cancellable Target Combo allowing for easy confirms.
  • Has no pushback which makes combos consistent even at further ranges
  • Slightly more range than far A
  • Overall a key part of your ground game, decent for keepout, approaches, and even whiff punishes

80 Mid super 8 5 25 -9 -11 - 70 120

One of Shun'ei's useful normals for anti-airing and stopping incoming hops/jumps both re-actively and preemptively

  • Decent range makes it a useful neutral for establishing space
  • Whiffs on crouching characters at farther ranges, but still contains a hitbox under his knee that will allow it to connect at closer ranges (right outside of cl.D proximity range)
  • Super(see: 2365D>236K input shortcut) and Quick Max cancellable

Shun'ei summons a pyrokinetic phantom using his left arm and rushes towards the opponent causing a knockdown on hit if in range.

  • Special cancellable into super or climax (notably his 236236B/D/BD)
  • If not in range of the opponent at the end of the dash, the fist will not trigger and Shun'ei will simply recover in place
  • A version of the special travels a shorter distance and causes a techable knockdown on hit, but combos from light attacks. Negative on block but generally safe due to pushback
  • C version travels a longer distance and causes an untechable sliding knockdown on hit, but only combos from his heavy normals or when cancelled from 6A.
  • EX version travels slightly faster than his other versions and the fist activates from a farther range allowing it to trade/poke/anti-fireball trade in situations where the other versions could not. Retains an untechable sliding knockdown. It also has some lower body invincibility, which allows for punishes on reaction against certain grounded projectiles.

When Whiffed, LP scarlet phantom frame kills 46f (with a 30f recovery) while C and AC versions will last 50f (also 30f recovery)

Shun'ei extends his right arm and produces a hydrokinetic phantom hand that extends outwards from him a great distance

  • Non EX/EX version can negate most non EX/EX fireballs
  • Useful as a space control and hop check, but has a lot of active and recovery frames that allow the opponent to jump in on Shun'ei if whiffed at the wrong ranges.
  • Aqua Spear is generally vulnerable to mid/long range whiff punishes, since the animation is similar in length to most projectile moves, but the projectile doesn't continue to be active during recovery frames.
  • A version starts up slightly faster allowing it to combo from heavy and command normals
  • C version does not combo from normals and has a longer startup, but has increased active frames and damage in exchange.
  • EX version has increases properties and a faster startup allowing it to combo from 2A.
  • The EX version of this attack causes a ground crumple on the opponent if it connects at close range allowing a follow-up afterwards and metered options from 2A aside from 214A.

Shun'ei extends his left arm into the sky and creates pyrokinetic palm that launches the opponent upwards.

  • A version can be used to anti-air jumps on reaction due to its speed and air attack invulnerability.
  • C and AC versions have upper body invulnerability and are Shun'ei's main high damage combo tools.
  • A version starts immediately from Shun'ei's current position, though it doesn't allow for any follow-ups, even with a Super Cancel. Hefty recovery compared to the others so don't use this for anything but anti-airs.
  • C version has Shun'ei travel forwards a short distance, with Upper Body/Air Attack/Throw invincibility, and launches the opponent slightly higher.
  • EX version triggers an additional hit that props the opponent even higher while also traveling further than the C version. Upper Body invincible during the initial frames of the attack.
  • C and AC version allow a juggle afterwards and the initial hitbox that launches the opponent upwards starts around Shun'ei's shoulder and stretches to the opening of the palm
  • Due to the forward advancing nature of the C and EX version this can also be used as a preemptive anti air if done early enough, but if you just want them out of the air use the A version.

Shun'ei swipes in front of him in the with a phantasmal aquatic hand that allows him to continue the assault from his air options.

  • A version retains Shun'ei's forward momentum and causes an untechable knockdown on hit.
  • C version halts Shun'ei's air momentum and moves him backwards. Trades the untechable knockdown in exchange for allowing combo potential depending on the height it connects.
  • EX version is a combination of both options that knocks the opponent higher and allows for additional combo potential. Slightly moves Shun'ei's air momentum backwards.
  • A/C versions have additional use as a neutral tool to control air space and generate slight meter build in the process.

  • Useful when cancelled from his allowable air normals to keep his approach ambiguous and make his air threat even more dangerous.
  • This has slightly more landing recovery than j.236D, about 6 frames. This is still very little and can still allow for high-low mix-ups.

  • Shun'ei enshrouds himself in energy and blasts through the opponent at high speed.
    • Unlike Rock's similar Shining Knuckle, this move never loses any hits no matter how far it hits.
  • Normal versions have very brief invulnerability and can be used to punish fireballs. However, the timing is extremely tight.
  • All versions switches sides, except against a cornered opponent.
  • Normal version only Advanced and Climax cancels on the last hit, meaning you can buffer the input very early without worrying about losing hits. While climax cancelling auto corrects and can be done in either direction, you'll have to do the input in reverse for the Advanced cancel.
  • MAX version has Shun'ei double back and strike the energy with an elbow attack to the midsection.
    • It also has more invulnerability frames and works well as a reversal, anti-air or anti-fireball.
