[strive] watching an Anji guide and imo Fujin is the single most interesting move in the game
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:19 PM
like 75% of Anji's kit is just fujin
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:19 PM
and I want to learn how to fujin like a pro
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:21 PM
here's the deal, to help me learn by explaining
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:22 PM
this is Anji doing fujin
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:22 PM
quarter circle forward something
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:22 PM
it's a short-range dash spinny attack with a bit of a windup
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:22 PM
damage is nothing special
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:23 PM
but you can press any of the four main attack buttons during it to do a different followup attack
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:24 PM
Nagiha, a low attack that will punish standing blocks
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:24 PM
Shin, a jump back that throws two fans at the ground
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:25 PM
Rin, a slow but beefy overhead that punishes crouching blocks
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:25 PM
and Issokutobi, a leap forward that you can chain into a grab
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:26 PM
that's the basic idea but in execution it's more involved
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:26 PM
first off, fujin and all four followups can be punished with a jumping attack
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:26 PM
it's pretty low to the ground so they just jump and you're fucked
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:27 PM
fortunately Anji has a number of really good anti-air attacks
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:27 PM
so first you want to aggressively punish all aerial approaches until your opponent becomes afraid of jumping, then you close in with fujin
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:28 PM
on its own fujin is fairly risky - it can be blocked and punished by a jab at some distances pretty easily
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:28 PM
but there's two versions of fujin you can use
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:28 PM
the normal fujin, and the held fujin
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:29 PM
if you hold the button down, anji does a little twirl before throwing the attack out
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:29 PM
and if he's hit during this twirl
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:29 PM
then the fujin is cancelled but he twirls through it unharmed
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:29 PM
meaning once again you have the advantage
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:29 PM
so you can use fujin and held fujin alternately to keep them guessing how to respond
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:30 PM
then, you use the different followups as mixups or reacting to their play style
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:30 PM
if they're turtling on the ground you punish them with fujin -> rin
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
once they're on the defensive you use shin to reset and keep the pressure on
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
use issoku and rin for an offensive approach
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
oh I learned something useful from this plurk
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
and there IS one enemy move that breaks all of these and that you'll eat shit to universally
EsperBot
@PikaBot
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
I'm ALWAYS struggling against fujin, I didn't realize oyu could jsut jump it
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
and that's a Reversal
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
but
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:31 PM
there's a way to deal with that too
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:32 PM
because fujin actually has FIVE followups
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:32 PM
the fifth one is
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:32 PM
fujin -> nothing
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:32 PM
and if you fujin and don't follow up you can block a reversal and punish
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:32 PM
KEEP EM GUESSING
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:32 PM
it's like three interconnected games of rock paper scissors in one move
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:35 PM

you can just jump it but also Anji has one of the best 6Ps in the game in terms of hitboxes

Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:37 PM
Neutral jump-> air backdash if he doesn't fujin SHOULD be pretty safe, apart from giving up space\

the difference between a Bad Anji and an Okay Anji is minimal
but the difference between an Okay Anji and a Good Anji is like fucking night and day.

Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:39 PM
it's not a instant win or anything but it's an important tool for dealing with it that I've just not been using at all
Quinneapolis

Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:39 PM
yep
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:39 PM
nothing always beats fujin and fujin doesn't always beat anything
Quinneapolis
@quinn2win
Wed, Jan 25, 2023 7:40 PM
but it's a very versatile crowbar
