About Zeku

Zeku is two characters in one, with an old form and a young form. The old form excels at long ranged spacing and poking, while the young form is better at pressure and combos. These give you a character who's good at pretty much everything but not all at once. Being strong with Zeku means you have to know when the right moment is to switch to the form best suited for whatever situation they're needed for. Good use of the form swap can throw an opponent off their game, as they'll have to constantly change what they have to watch out for in neutral. This goes for the Zeku player as well, as they'll have to constantly know what to do in neutral based on their form, not to mention memorizing his vast amount of combos and setups for both forms and between the two. If you like a character more complex than most with critical strengths and weaknesses that you'll swap constantly, Zeku could be just for you.

Unique Mechanics

By using his V-Skill 1, VT2, or pressing 22PP, Zeku will change from Old Zeku to Young Zeku. These are two completely different characters with different normals, command normals, and specials. Old Zeku is slower focusing more on spacing and ranged game, Young Zeku is much more offensively focuses. You will always start a round as Old Zeku. Change form can be done off select normals. As old Zeku all grounded normals excluding his command overhead, standing MK / HK, crouching LK, MP and HK. As young Zeku all grounded normals excluding standing MK, HK, command overhead and all crouching kicks.

SFV Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for.
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel, refer to description for options. "sp": Special move. "su": Critical art. "vs[1/2]": V-Skill 1 or 2. "vt[1/2]": V-Trigger 1 or 2 activation.
Confirm windows	Hit confirm windows written as Specials & CAs/Target Combos/V-Trigger. Notation may denote V-Skill only cancel windows in Specials. Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel into another move from the moment the attack connects with the opponent.
Crush Counter	Crush Counter hit advantage written as opponent state, frame advantage, and v-gauge gain on hit.
Damage	Attack damage on hit. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit. Note that generally, normal counter hits add an additional +2 to hit advantage in SFV.
Knockdown	Knockdown advantage against Normal, Quick Rise and Back Rise wake up options.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
