Introduction

Ippatsuman works for Time Lease, a robotics company where he stops not-Doronjo form using their robots for shenanigans every week.

Gameplay

Strengths	Weaknesses
Decent combos Can do great damage without spending any meter Can zone fairly effectively, his projectile can manage different trajectories and speeds Anti-air super is very effective Can easily close the gap Great pressure	Despite having great projectiles, his zoning can be easily avoided with the right angles His loop requires some execution Level 3 is purely for chip kill and even then it's easy to waste it

Moves List

Normal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5A	5	3	13	-	800	-	Jab, it's fast
2A	5	4	10	-	800	-	Another jab, this time crouching. still fast
5B	11	3	18	-	1560	-	Hits twice, highly advisable to let both hits rock when doing combos
2B	10	4	18	-	1600	Low	Long reaching poke
6B	14	4	28	-	1440	Launcher (air only)	Secondary launcher but only against air enemies. It has a special route you can take 2C -> Quick Upper --> IAD --> j.B --> 6B and is the primary component of his loop. Doesn't have too much other use
5C	16	4	25	-	3040	-	Ippatsuman leans forward and gives a punch, links to 2C, otherwise eh.
6C	-	-	-	-	-	Hard Knockdown	Ippatsuman does a tackle. very unsafe, not too much use other than pushing someone away.
2C	15	9	27	-	3280	Low	Low Sweep, reaches 3/4th screen, use Quick Upper to make it safe
3C	10	4	32	-	2400	Launcher	Standard launcher
j.A	5	9	26	-	800	Overhead	Diagonal jumping jab, hits grounded opponents, comes out fast, A+
j.B	8	10	26	-	1600	Overhead	Horizontal kick, used for combos, blockstrings, and neutral, solid tool
j.C	14	6	30	-	3200	Overhead	Ippatsuman leans back and does a bicycle kick. Pushes his hurtbox back so it's hard to challenge, pretty cool

Rainball 236X A B C A Air B Air C Air	18/18/21	-	36/48/53	-	2400	projectile	Pastaman throws a baseball, excluding baroque, he can only have one baseball out at a time. A Baseball is a horizontal fastball , on the ground Ippatsu will hop back when he throws it. In the air it flies diagonally down. B is a curveball, it flies straight, then curves up. In the air it curves upward a little more sharply C is a slow knuckleball, it'll oscillate vertically. in the air it moves diagonally down
Quick Upper 623X Dash -> Quick Upper	7	-	12	-	2800/3588/5032	-	Fly vertically into the air, if you dash first it'll go diagonally upward instead. Strength adds length and hits. Solid tool for blockstrings and pressure. Great combo ender to lead to supers. Useable in air
Mound Blast 214X	21	-	26/29/37	-	2480/3540/4511	OTG	Punch the ground and make your own Captain Corridor. Hits OTG, hitbox is about max normal jump height. Strength determines number of hits and vertical knockback
Straight Fly [4]->6x	18	-	33/31/34	-	2400/2800/3200	-	Psycho Crusher A Version doesn't crossup B Version does crossup C Version is a runaway freight train With baroque this can become a 50/50

Super Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Grand Slam 63214XX	17+8	-	-	-	15155	Projectile Reflect	Ippatsuman pulls out the bat and shoots out a ton of baseballs, hitbox is extremely wide, even at super jump height there are some invisible balls that still hit opponents. Great for chip. Reflects projectiles.
Final Reversal Breaker 623XX	7+0	-	-	-	10005	Command Grab	Ippatsuman jumps up and grabs anyone airborne in the way. Deceptive hitbox, very good AA super, command grab so it ignores block. Staple of combos despite low damage. Useable in air
Come Forth, Gyakuten-oh! 421XX Activation A or B 8A or 8B 2A or 2B C Run out of meter	7+0	-	-	-	Hands: 2400 Sword: 5200 Beam: 34400	-	'Gyakuten-oh is here to save the day!!!' is what most Ippatsuman mains would love to say. This super is only for chipping out or wasting time (Like if zero pops sougenmu or there's 10 seconds left on the clock). Functionally you're invincible, using the robot drains your meter and lasts until it runs out. Can be controlled with the following inputs: A controls on-screen left hand, causes wallbounce, unlike normal wallbounce limits this one is infinite, making A->B->A a viable infinite if you can start it up. B controls the right screen hand, same mechanics apply. 2+A Slams the left hand on the ground, causes the opponent to fly vertically. Hits low 2+B slams the right hand, same mechanics apply 8+A, slices the opponent, covers the entire bottom of the screen, unblockable. Avoid with a neutral jump 8+B slices the opponent, covers the entire top of the screen, unblockable. Avoid by...doing nothing C charges a laser beam, charge lasts 500+ frames, can be stopped by hitting the gem in the center. Does really good damage but you will only land this on new players. When your meter runs out you may as well try it since he'll charge even with no meter.
