''Chiho is a ninja, trained from birth in the ways of having bullshit custom combo supers.''


An archetypical ninja character, Chiho is very speedy, sporting a set of fast normals, great mixup options and some of the best mobility in the game, which can be backed up by her excellent fireball. However, with speed comes fragility -- Chiho has a very low defense value, which means she takes punishment harder than most other characters. Her general damage output is also quite low, meaning you'll largely be trying to play carefully, scouting out openings and finding approaches with your fireball. This low damage output can be offset by her extremely threatening Zanei Jin combos, but the difficulty of these combos means that playing Chiho has a fairly high execution demand.
Chiho is the resident speedy, technical rushdown character who uses her best-in-class mobility and powerful suite of offensive tools to get in the opponent's face and stay there, smothering them with relentless pressure, mixups, and even unblockable setups. Her speed and offensive prowess come at a cost, however -- she has both poor attack and defense modifiers, which means many risks she takes are not in her favour. She can offset this to some degree with the use of her install supers, Zanei Jin and Genei Jin, which both grant her some of the game's strongest (and longest) combo conversions, but this focus on complex, technical combos creates one of the highest execution demands in the game.

| intro = [[File: avg2 chiho mini.png|20px]] '''Chiho''' is a nimble rushdown character who uses her install supers to create brutal setplay situations and devastating combos.
| pros =
| pros =
* Solid neutral presence thanks to her fast buttons, fireball and general mobility
* '''Solid Neutral Game:''' On top of sporting strong general mobility, Chiho also has access to a suite of fast pokes and a great fireball in {{Tooltip| text=Shisen Ken| hovertext=214P}}, which allows her to effectively control space and push inward.
* Strong up-close mixups thanks to a unique overhead and a command grab
* '''Powerful Offense:''' Chiho has pretty easy access to frame advantage when on the offense, which allows her to push strong stagger pressure, rewarding strike/throw mixups, and when meter is on the table, smothering pressure that can be nearly impossible to block.
* Insane combo potential with Zanei Jin
* '''High Reward With Meter:''' Chiho's install supers, {{Tooltip| text=Zanei Jin| hovertext=22PP}} and {{Tooltip| text=Genei Jin| hovertext=22KK}}, afford her a high degree of flexibility with her neutral, offense and even defense. Zanei Jin in particular leads to some of the highest reward in the game for just one bar, including extended looping combos and genuine unblockable setups.
| cons =
| cons =
* Low defense value
* '''Speed, No Weight:''' Chiho's speed and mobility is, predictably, offset by both low damage and a poor defense modifier, which means that many of the risks she has to take on offense and defense do not carry favourable risk-reward for her without meter to back them up.
* Somewhat weak anti-airs force her to rely on air-to-air options to stuff approaches
* '''Poor Anti-Air Options:''' Despite how some of her kit might look, Chiho is sorely lacking in grounded anti-air options, even by the standards of AVG2. This means that Chiho needs to use primarily air-to-airs in order to intercept aerial approaches from her opponent, and scrambling in this way is often riskier for Chiho than it is for other characters.
* Overall damage output without Zanei Jin is quite low
* '''Low Reward Without Meter:''' While Zanei Jin does provide incredible reward when used correctly, Chiho's low overall damage output means that, in some ways, she doesn't really come "online" until she's got a bar stocked, forcing her to take on extra risk in neutral.

While Zanei Jin is active, she loses access to Genei Jin, as well as her normal throw and her command throw, but she is still able to build super meter at a reduced rate. This super is more or less the crux of Chiho's gameplan, as not only does it give her access to incredibly strong combos, but it also allows her to enforce some suffocating setplay mixups and, occasionally, genuine unblockable setups. The move's nature as an install super also means that Chiho can use it in defensive situations -- specifically, she can activate Zanei Jin in response to a 0F attack during the superflash in order to gain the actionable frames necessary to block it.


Additionally, Zanei Jin changes the behaviour of some moves.<br>
'''Hien Geki:''' Higher hit count for LP and HP versions (thus lower damage on average due to damage scaling), but increased active frames. EX version gains several more hits and a huge damage increase, making it one of Chiho's most rewarding moves to land.
'''Shin Kuuga Zan:''' Gains a second hit only against airborne opponents, but reduces the damage to such a huge degree that the move becomes completely not worth using.

}}

= Strategy =
Chiho is best suited to rushing the opponent down, using a mixture of fireballs, df+HK slides, dashing HP and j.LK to aggressively approach the opponent and establish pressure. This is important for two reasons: the first is that the generally low damage output of her normals means that Chiho will generally fare worse in a careful footsie game compared to most other characters. The second is that the reward Chiho gets from her pressure is high, since Hien Geki gives her combos exceptional corner carry. The corner is where the real fun begins -- not only do you have access to all of your other mixup options, but you also gain access to a very annoying pressure sequence of dashing HP xx LP fireball, which you're free to change the timing of in order to bait reversals or guard cancels, as well as your terrifying (and exceptionally meter-efficient) Zanei Jin combos. If you find yourself on the defensive, look for opportunities to wall jump away from the opponent, or try to land EX Hien Geki if you're comfortable spending the meter.
''Zanei Jin Unblockables''<br>
Due to the nature of the shadows attached to Zanei Jin, Chiho is able to set up unblockables in the corner by activating Zanei Jin after scoring a knockdown, timing LP+HP so that the shadows hit meaty, and then following up with cr.LK. You can use this to make waking up an incredibly scary proposition for your opponent, but you'll need to properly adjust for the opponent choosing to quick getup or not.

''Corner combo. Hold forward during Zanei Jin to auto-walk forward and keep yourself close enough. Do this for the 5LP links after the super ends as well. Instead of going into the 5HK combo, you can chain 5LP > 5HP and start the Zanei Jin combo again -- this leads into an almost touch-of-death on basically every character in the corner.''<br>
''Against crouching Kaori specifically, you must link 2LP directly into 5HP, as Kaori's crouching hitstun animation causes 5LP to whiff.''

Introduction

Chiho is a ninja, trained from birth in the ways of having bullshit custom combo supers.

Chiho is the resident speedy, technical rushdown character who uses her best-in-class mobility and powerful suite of offensive tools to get in the opponent's face and stay there, smothering them with relentless pressure, mixups, and even unblockable setups. Her speed and offensive prowess come at a cost, however -- she has both poor attack and defense modifiers, which means many risks she takes are not in her favour. She can offset this to some degree with the use of her install supers, Zanei Jin and Genei Jin, which both grant her some of the game's strongest (and longest) combo conversions, but this focus on complex, technical combos creates one of the highest execution demands in the game.

Avg2 chiho mini.png Chiho is a nimble rushdown character who uses her install supers to create brutal setplay situations and devastating combos.
Pros Cons
  • Solid Neutral Game: On top of sporting strong general mobility, Chiho also has access to a suite of fast pokes and a great fireball in Shisen Ken, which allows her to effectively control space and push inward.
  • Powerful Offense: Chiho has pretty easy access to frame advantage when on the offense, which allows her to push strong stagger pressure, rewarding strike/throw mixups, and when meter is on the table, smothering pressure that can be nearly impossible to block.
  • High Reward With Meter: Chiho's install supers, Zanei Jin and Genei Jin, afford her a high degree of flexibility with her neutral, offense and even defense. Zanei Jin in particular leads to some of the highest reward in the game for just one bar, including extended looping combos and genuine unblockable setups.
  • Speed, No Weight: Chiho's speed and mobility is, predictably, offset by both low damage and a poor defense modifier, which means that many of the risks she has to take on offense and defense do not carry favourable risk-reward for her without meter to back them up.
  • Poor Anti-Air Options: Despite how some of her kit might look, Chiho is sorely lacking in grounded anti-air options, even by the standards of AVG2. This means that Chiho needs to use primarily air-to-airs in order to intercept aerial approaches from her opponent, and scrambling in this way is often riskier for Chiho than it is for other characters.
  • Low Reward Without Meter: While Zanei Jin does provide incredible reward when used correctly, Chiho's low overall damage output means that, in some ways, she doesn't really come "online" until she's got a bar stocked, forcing her to take on extra risk in neutral.
