==Special Moves==
[[File:ShoRekohha.gif|none]]*Rekkoha - QCF+P.  Sho shoots a fireball.  It is an OK fireball, the LP version is Sho's best meaty attack.
[[File:ShoSandanGeki.gif|none]]*Kurenai Sandan Keri - QCB+K.  Sho does a flying fire kick. Sho's anti-air and reversal move.  Has invulnerability on startup; press K up to 3 times to get the all the hits.  Very good move but can be difficult to space properly as anti-air.
[[File:ShoMidare.gif|none]]*Midare Kiryuu Keri - QCF+K.  Sho does a hop spin kick that hits 2 times.  If blocked, Sho becomes airborne where he can perform either of his air supers, but leave him vulnerable to air throws and counter attacks.  If it hits, Sho rolls to safety on the other side of the opponent.  Good when done against an airborne opponent as it knocks down and puts you right next to them.
[[File:ShoShippuKen.gif|none]]*Shippu Sho Ken Tsuki - F,B,F+P.  Sho does a vacuuming punch attack that hits several times for a lot of damage.  Possible super link afterwards in corner.  Very excellent damage and useful in combos.


==Super Moves==
{{MoveData
[[Image:shosuperkick.gif|none]]*Kurenai Gansai Shuu - QCBx2+K, in air or on ground. Sho launches forward and hits his opponent with a multi-hitting flame kick that ends in an explosion. Good in combos and occasionally as a breaker. Can combo from a trip if the command is input immediately.
|image=BreakersR_Sho_5B.png
[[Image:shojumpsuper.gif|none]]*Chou Kuchuu Rekko Ha - QCFx2+P in air. Sho shoots a big air fireball downward at the opponent. One of Sho's best utilities as it can be canceled into from any air normal even on whiff. Small invulnerability.

=The Basics=
*Notable Normals
**Crouching B - Basic low combo starter.
**Crouching C - This move is one of Sho's best anti-airs.  He can combo flamekicks or a super afterwards, or even multipunch if the opponent is deep enough.  If it hits from far away, it can be comboed into the hopkick.
**Close standing C x3 - This is a free combo if you land Sho's close st.C.  Sho ends up airborne and is able to combo into his 2 air supers.  From the second hit you can combo into multipunch for an incredible amount of damage.  C C C is unbreakerable.
**Far Standing C - This move has a lot of priority and can be done while dashing after a meaty LP fireball for a good frametrap.  Cancellable into supers and specials and chains to his command normals.
**Overhead punch, LP+HP - This move hits high and can be chained into from st.C.  It is breakerable in between this link so be careful!  Has a bunch of startup but combos into a slew of his specials and supers.  Be aware that if chained to the hop kick it is breakerable in between very easily.
**Hop, LK+HP - This move has a low dodge and is cancellable by Sho's air supers.  Can be comboed into from st.C, but it seems to be breakerable in between.  Still a good move.
**Divekick, d+HK in the air - This is one of Sho's most awesome moves, his divekick!  He does a downward kick that can be performed anywhere in the course of his jump.  Use this often as it can even stuff DP's and is difficult to hit.  You can cancel it into air fireball super on whiff or hit at any time.  Possible to verify a hit into super or bait an anti-air with a super.
**Jumping B - This move stays out for the duration of Sho's jump.  It can cross up and combos into super.  Can be canceled by super at any time during its animation, even on whiff.  Beats a ridiculous amount of air moves.
**Jumping D - This move crosses up extremely easily and also beats a ton of moves, causes a great deal of hitstun, and is cancellable at any time during its animation by supers.
**Vertical Jump D - This move causes knockdown and beats a LOT of air moves.  Extremely big hitbox and priority.
**Jumping LP spam, j.LP up to 5 times - You can combo into ground or air supers from this very easily.  You can use this if you don't feel like timing a different air move and just want to spam.


*Crossups

*Meterless Combos
**cr.A/cr.B xn, cr.D - Basic knockdown combo.
**LP+HP xx a special move - The HK version of hopkick is breakerable but the LK version usually isn't, depending on range.  Basic combo from overhead.  Different moves work differently in this combo, test them out to see their nuances.
**cr.A/cr.B xn, cr.C xx multipunch/flamekick - Use this combo as your bread and butter if you are deep enough to land the flamekick or multipunch.  Multipunch may do more damage, but is more difficult to land.  Multipunch gives a TON of meter.
**cr.A/cr.B xn, st.A, st.C xx fireball/hop kick - st.A is optional, and the hop kick will more than likely make your combo breakerable.  Ending with a fireball up close or too far away is bad because it can make you open to attacks via breakers.
**st.C, st.C xx mutlipunch/flamekick - Great punish combo.  Use the mutlipunch unless for some reason you forget.  The flamekick will hit and everything but it doesn't do as good of damage.  Unbreakerable and multipunch will give you a lot of super meter.
**cr.A/cr.B xn, st.C, LP+HP xx fireball/hop kick - This combo is so breakerable you should not use it, ever.  But it is here anyway because you can use it as a pressure string.


*Combos with meter
{{MoveData
**cr.A/cr.B xn, cr.D xx kick super - Great combo.
|image=BreakersR_Sho_5D.png
**cr.A/cr.B xn, cr.C xx kick super - Another good combo.
|caption=
**cr.A/cr.B x2, st.A, st.C xx kick super - Yet another combo!
|name=
**cr.A/cr.B x2, st.A, st.C, LK+HK xx either air super - This combo will more than likely be breakerable no metter how it is spaced. St.A is optional.
|input=5D
**While opponent cornered, cr.A/cr.B xn, cr.C xx multipunch, kick/fireball super. Fireball super is easier to land, do not push yourself too far out of the corner. Recommended number of cr.a/cr.b is 2. Great damage.
|data=
**j.LP xn, land, ground fireball super - Bad damage but at least its something.
{{AttackData-BreakersR
**j.LP xn, air fireball super/air kick super - Still bad damage but at least its damage. Fireball will only hit if opponent is in a certain range. Test it out to find the proper ranges to use it.
  |Damage=
**j.B xx air fireball super - A combo. You can cancel this as late as it takes to make the combo work!
  |Guard= {{Mid}}
**any air move vs aerial opponent, land, ground fireball super - This is a good way to milk some damage.
  |Stun=
**d+HK in the air xx fireball super - Easy to verify the divekick into super. You can land and do a ground combo but sometimes this is easierThe way that damage scaling works makes either one a good choice.
  |Properties=
**Fireball vs an aerial opponent, any super - Combo off a fireball that hits a jumping opponent!
|Startup=
**Vertical jump D, Air fireball super - This works well!
  |Active=
**in corner, anti-air cr.C, LK flamekick (one hit), land, st.C xx either ground super - This combo does bad damage and is basically just for showDo it for cool points though!

=Advanced Strategy=
<big>'''Crouching'''</big>
==How does Sho play?==
------
Sho is quite possibly the most versatile character in the gameHe can rush down and play a damn good bait-and-punish gameWith one of the most damaging normal combos in the game, st.C, st.C, Multipunch, he can do a gigantic amount of damage if he baits nearly anything.  He gains super so quickly that he can rush down from the air with cover from whiff-canceled air normals into superHis normals are incredible and his divekicks can scare the opponent from chasing him, allowing him to throw fireballs.

  }}
}}


==Breakering==
 
Kurenai is a standard breaker move, since it functions as an uppercut; however it is punishable on block.  If you use the LK version and do not press another kick until the opponent has been hit, that makes the move safer than quickly hammering on kicks to make him fly all over the screen.

==Advanced Strategy==
===Running===
Sho's dash is unique in that he does a run instead. He will stop running when he reaches the opponent or up to 35 frames, whichever happends first. At the end of the run, a stopping animation happens before Sho can act, this animation lasts for 12 frames. However, the run can be freely cancelled into an attack or a jump at any point. Attempting to block to stop the run can happen as early as frame 13. Sho is actionable the next frame to block but throw will not come out until the 6th frame of the stopping animation. This makes dashing into block or throw less effective for Sho than the other top characters that can cancel dash.
 
===Breakering===
214K is a standard breaker move, since it functions as an uppercut; however it is punishable on block.  If you use the LK version and do not press another kick until the opponent has been hit, that makes the move safer than quickly hammering on kicks to make him fly all over the screen.


If you ever attempt to mix up or combo with his hop or overhead, be aware that this is breakerable.  It is extremely dangerous but the reward can be a shitload of damage.  His normal strings are generally not breakerable, unless they use Fireball, dash Normal, Fireball type pressure.  If you suspect the opponent will breaker your fireball pressure after a knockdown, you can stop short and throw another fireball instead of a normal to bait their breaker attempt.  Sho has a breakerable infinite with chained normals into Hop much like Maherl's infinite.  It is completely worthless because it is very tight and nearly impossible to do without getting breakered by random mashing.

==Random Tips==
===BC Corner Reset===
*All of Sho's knockdown combos including flame kick allow him to pressure with an LP fireball leading to a mixup opportunity.
After 2C, BC in the corner Sho can set up a left/right mix. To do the crossup after BC there are 3 ways depending on the character:
*Walk under --> Condor
*Dash empty --> Bai-Hu, Rila, Saizo, Sho, Tia
*Dash 2A/B --> Alsion III, Bai-Hu, Dao-Long, Maherl, Pielle
 
===Throw OS===
* cl.5C / Throw OS - Input is 4/6C. Easy way to prevent a jump out. Avoid mashing it unless you want the whole 5CCC series to come out.
* 214K / Throw OS - Input is 21[4]C + B/D for back throw or 214[6]C + B/D for forward throw
**If the opponent is throwable, they get thrown. Otherwise the 4/6C is kara cancelled into 214K. Good for beating jump out and buttons.
 
===Random Tips===
*End combos with 214K to pressure with 236A, followed by run leading to a mixup opportunity.
**Opponents can roll out of the meaty fireball midscreen, consider using super midscreen for the guaranteed setup from hard knockdown.


*Sho gets meter so incredibly fast that he can use it more frequently than any other character without any drawbacks.  Since his air moves are cancellable even on whiff by air fireball super, you can use this to punish anti-airs.  If you see a super flash while you're jumping in, input your air fireball super during the flash to hit the opponent easily.
*End combos with 236K in the first round to take advantage of stun. Otherwise use 646P for damage.


*Sho has far more options than other characters, especially considering that he will typically always have meter if you're playing him correctly.  Without any meter he can do a lot of damage and can sometimes afford to use supers solely for pressure via air fireball canceled from a whiffed or connected j.B or divekick.
*Without any meter he can do a lot of damage and can sometimes afford to use supers solely for pressure via air fireball canceled from a whiffed or connected j.B or divekick.


*Sho's vertical j.D attack has an enormous amount of priority.  A vertical j.d slightly outside of uppercut range can work wonders against some character. It also makes the opponent do a tiny bounce when they slam into the ground.  You can combo into an air fireball off this bounce to milk extra damage from his j.D.

===Character Specific Tips===
--------
'''Alsion III'''<br>


==Vs. Alsion 3:==
--------
Best matchup for him , at far distance first try to Fireball him a lot until he use his teleport attack , then change your tactic with getting close to him with Crescent Kick or counter the Teleport with Super Kick or Super Fire Ball.
'''Condor'''<br>


==Vs. Bai-Hu:==
--------
'''Dao-Long'''<br>


==Vs. Condor:==
--------
Don't fireball him so much because he can use his Tomahawk to get closer to you and grab you, poke him at low or jump in instead
'''Maherl'''<br>
==Vs. Dao-Long:==
He is a charge character version of you, its a balanced match up, punish his Anti Air Special Kick when fails.
==Vs. Mahrel:==
Watch out with his firespit or Belly Ball, best moment to punish him if when he fails to land a Genius Super.
==Vs. Pielle:==
Another weird balanced character, if he use his Rose Tornado will be your punish opportunity
==Vs. Rila:==
Fireball her will be a risky strategy, attack her on air instead, Sho must take distance or counter her with Firekicks or Crescent one depending where Rila wants to get approach of you


==Vs. Saizo:==
--------
Use your air Supers after charge one power stock,its a balanced match up, it depends which gameplan you had, spamming projectiles are a bad options against the ninja, instead, try rushdown mixups
'''Pielle'''<br>


==Vs. Sho (Self):==
--------
'''Rila'''<br>
* When Rila has meter, fireballs are vulnerable to a reaction Bloody Fang at any range. Without meter, beyond half screen her [4]3K are too slow or don't reach far enough.
* 2B and 2D will beat out her 2C at footsie range.
* Easy punish for her [4]3D is 236236P.
* Quick Scratch is safe but you can punish Quick Uppercut.
--------
'''Saizo'''<br>
You want be a completely rushdown centered character against Saizo. Establish air superiority, use j.B to beat out Saizo's dj.C. Air fireball super or mixing up high/low divekicks to beat anti air attempts. If Saizo is keeping you out with anti-airs, use your dash and guard to advance in. His reversal is unsafe if he doesn't have super. Don't even bother trying to stun Saizo.
--------
'''Sho'''<br>


==Vs. Tia:==
--------
She is too similar to you, but you have better jump in options, get close with a Crack Kick as soon as you can and trap her in the hop chain combos
'''Tia'''<br>

Introduction

Sho Kamui is a master of Karate and the protagonist of Breakers Revenge. He enters the FIST Tournament in order to prove the strength of his martial art and to face off against his old rival, Lee Dao-Long, who gave him the scar on his cheek.

Overview

Sho is a versatile character with a wide array of strong special moves. He has tremendous damage and stun output, access to air supers, a divekick he can do from any jump, and a running dash. His active jumping moves and air fireball super also give oppressive control over the air.

Despite his strong fireballs, Sho isn't really a zoner. He mainly runs behind 236A to pressure the opponent. This becomes especially tough for opponents when they get put into the corner. Sho doesn't just excel at getting in, either. He sports two of the strongest breakers in the game: 214K and his backdash.

There really isn't anywhere on the screen Sho isn't dangerous.

Sho
Strengths Weaknesses
  • Easy to play. Does a bit of everything.
  • Air Fireball super is hard to punish and provides extra damage opportunities
  • Unique running, cancellable dash and BC hopkick help him get in and stay in
  • Extremely high meterless damage from 646P combos, this also allows more meter for Air Fireball
  • j.B is THE air-to-air normal. Active for the entire jump, cancellable, and has a strong hitbox.
  • Very good set of jumping normals + dive kick / head stomp make him harder to anti-air
  • 214K is a solid breaker, anti-air, and a combo tool
  • Tricky dash under resets off of jumping attacks or in the corner
  • Invincible backdash
  • Above average health
  • Grounded normals are a bit stubby, this hurts his punish game and forces him to rely on far conversions if he doesn't have a clean hit.

This move has a lot of priority and can be done while dashing after a meaty LP fireball for a good frametrap. Cancellable into supers and specials and chains to his command normals.

This move is one of Sho's best anti-airs and a combo staple. He can combo into all of his specials and supers afterwards. Leaves the opponent in a juggle state, preventing any potential breakers.

The range is not good, substitute 5C or 2D if converting a combo from farther away.

Diagonal Jumping

You can combo into ground or air supers from this very easily. You can use this if you don't feel like timing a different air move and just want to spam.

Combo into an air super for some extra damage or set up a reset as the opponent lands.

- - - - -

This move stays out for the duration of Sho's jump. Can be canceled by super at any time during its animation, even on whiff. Beats a ridiculous amount of air moves.

This move is the god air to air. Requires no timing and it is always a risk to anti-air it when Sho has meter.


Damage Guard Stun Properties

Downward punch, use this over j.D if you are further out. Does excellent damage.

This move crosses up extremely easily and also beats a ton of moves, causes a great deal of hitstun, and is cancellable at any time during its animation by supers.

Can fuzzy with dj.D after a jump in (on Pielle/Condor you can do it raw). Cancel into air fireball to make it safe or add damage.

Sho sticks out his foot, hits low for some reason. Can beat other lows, try buffering a fireball behind it. Will hit further out than 2C for situational combos.

Sho hops and can dodge low moves. Is not an overhead, but makes Sho airborne. Cancellable to air fireball and air kick super.

Moves Sho forward very far, though easily interrupted, it is a good way to stay in.


Uppercut
Jump, 7~9C

Sho does a upwards punch in the air. Not as good as his j.B but will beat things way above him.

Sho does a divekick. Super cancellable at any time during animation, even on whiff. Does not hit high but has excellent priority. Can be performed instantly after jumping.

One of Sho's hallmark moves, the variety of heights that can be used combined with the whiff cancellable nature make it tough to deal with. Beware of breaker throw if you are hitting too high, use 214K or j.236236P to call it out.

Sho does a hop spin kick that hits 2 times and sideswitches, hops over low attacks. If blocked, Sho becomes airborne where he can perform either of his air supers, but leave him vulnerable to air throws and counter attacks. Prefer this version if you need a non-breakerable version.

Advanced Strategy

Running

Sho's dash is unique in that he does a run instead. He will stop running when he reaches the opponent or up to 35 frames, whichever happends first. At the end of the run, a stopping animation happens before Sho can act, this animation lasts for 12 frames. However, the run can be freely cancelled into an attack or a jump at any point. Attempting to block to stop the run can happen as early as frame 13. Sho is actionable the next frame to block but throw will not come out until the 6th frame of the stopping animation. This makes dashing into block or throw less effective for Sho than the other top characters that can cancel dash.

Breakering

214K is a standard breaker move, since it functions as an uppercut; however it is punishable on block. If you use the LK version and do not press another kick until the opponent has been hit, that makes the move safer than quickly hammering on kicks to make him fly all over the screen.

If you ever attempt to mix up or combo with his hop or overhead, be aware that this is breakerable. It is extremely dangerous but the reward can be a shitload of damage. His normal strings are generally not breakerable, unless they use Fireball, dash Normal, Fireball type pressure. If you suspect the opponent will breaker your fireball pressure after a knockdown, you can stop short and throw another fireball instead of a normal to bait their breaker attempt. Sho has a breakerable infinite with chained normals into Hop much like Maherl's infinite. It is completely worthless because it is very tight and nearly impossible to do without getting breakered by random mashing.

BC Corner Reset

After 2C, BC in the corner Sho can set up a left/right mix. To do the crossup after BC there are 3 ways depending on the character:

  • Walk under --> Condor
  • Dash empty --> Bai-Hu, Rila, Saizo, Sho, Tia
  • Dash 2A/B --> Alsion III, Bai-Hu, Dao-Long, Maherl, Pielle

  • cl.5C / Throw OS - Input is 4/6C. Easy way to prevent a jump out. Avoid mashing it unless you want the whole 5CCC series to come out.
  • 214K / Throw OS - Input is 21[4]C + B/D for back throw or 214[6]C + B/D for forward throw
    • If the opponent is throwable, they get thrown. Otherwise the 4/6C is kara cancelled into 214K. Good for beating jump out and buttons.

Random Tips

  • End combos with 214K to pressure with 236A, followed by run leading to a mixup opportunity.
    • Opponents can roll out of the meaty fireball midscreen, consider using super midscreen for the guaranteed setup from hard knockdown.
  • End combos with 236K in the first round to take advantage of stun. Otherwise use 646P for damage.
  • Without any meter he can do a lot of damage and can sometimes afford to use supers solely for pressure via air fireball canceled from a whiffed or connected j.B or divekick.
  • Sho's vertical j.D attack has an enormous amount of priority. A vertical j.d slightly outside of uppercut range can work wonders against some character. It also makes the opponent do a tiny bounce when they slam into the ground. You can combo into an air fireball off this bounce to milk extra damage from his j.D.

Rila

  • When Rila has meter, fireballs are vulnerable to a reaction Bloody Fang at any range. Without meter, beyond half screen her [4]3K are too slow or don't reach far enough.
  • 2B and 2D will beat out her 2C at footsie range.
  • Easy punish for her [4]3D is 236236P.
  • Quick Scratch is safe but you can punish Quick Uppercut.

Saizo
You want be a completely rushdown centered character against Saizo. Establish air superiority, use j.B to beat out Saizo's dj.C. Air fireball super or mixing up high/low divekicks to beat anti air attempts. If Saizo is keeping you out with anti-airs, use your dash and guard to advance in. His reversal is unsafe if he doesn't have super. Don't even bother trying to stun Saizo.
