Asura Buster: Eternal Warriors/Chen-Mao: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:20, 14 May 2023

Chen-Mao is a martial artist who uses her hands and feet as her weapons of choice. She is the young disciple of Footee from Asura Blade: Sword of Dynasty. She fights and trains in order to be just like her mentor.

Upon learning of Footee's disappearance from within a personal training journey, Chen-Mao set out on a journey of her own in order to find her. Chen-Mao then found herself investigating the mystery of the lost continent, feeling and believing that it might have something to do with Footee's disappearance.

Overview Chen-Mao is a character with great mix-up options who wants to stay close to her opponent to press her advantage.

Normals

Standing Normals

5A

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
7 / 8	5	4	7	M	-A-, -B-, -C-, -SP-, -UM-	2	1
Quick jab. Has less reach than 2A. The first 2 frames deal 7 damage. The last two deal 8 damage.

5B

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
15	5	8	13	M	C, SP, UM	-4	-5
A forward-moving backhand strike. Thanks to the forward movement, can be used to readily combo into launcher or C normals. As fast as her jab and very active.

5C

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
23	5	10	21	M	SP, UM	-8	-9
Chen-Mao perform a palm strike on both sides at once. Unlike most characters, Chen-Mao's 5C is special cancellable, making it great combo filler if it reaches. As fast as her jab and extremely active.

Crouching Normals

2A

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
7	5	4	7	L	-A-, -B-, -C-, -SP-, -UM-	2	1
A quick, crouching backhand chop. Has more reach than 5A.

2B

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
15	5	4	19	L	C, SP, UM	-6	-7
A quick low kick. Her most versatile poke, thanks to its speed and range. Lacks 5B's forward movement, and thus its ability to confirm into launcher or C normals at most ranges. As such, Chen-Mao must rely on 214B or 214EX to confirm off of this in most situations.

2C

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
23	7	8	24	L	SP, UM	-6	-7
Low elbow strike. Serves as her sweep. Unlike most characters, Chen-Mao's 2C can be canceled into specials or launcher. This is of limited use, since sweeps don't leave the opponent in a comboable state and all of Chen-Mao's grounded specials are negative on block. This can still be canceled into launcher to stay safe at point blank.

Air Normals

j.A

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
7	3	24	7	H	-A-, -B-, -C-, -SP-, -UM-	N/A	N/A
Chen-Mao sticks her leg out in front of her. Whiff cancelable starting on frame 17. Very active. Great juggle tool. Can be used as an unconfirmable instant overhead.

j.B

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
15	5	10	5	H	B, C, SP, UM	N/A	N/A
Chen-Mao busts out the Footee side kick. Great preemptive air-to-air thanks to its reach. Confirmable instant overhead on Taros and Leon. Cancel into j.214B on hit for a full combo.

j.C

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
23	5	12	11	H	SP, UM	N/A	N/A
A powerful backhand punch. Unlike most characters, Chen-Mao's j.C can be canceled into specials or launcher. Very fast for how hard it hits. This move's numerous active frames tend to clash through and beat a lot of potential anti-airs. It notably tends to trade with Yashaou's DP.

Command Normals

6B

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
15	11	8	7	H	-	2	1
Very fast hop into overhead kick. Does not combo into anything, but is actually plus on block. Whiffs crouching Alice and Alice!. Canceling the singular frame of prejump with this move triggers infinite momentum glitch.

Chen-Mao stomps on the ground then advances forward to do a devestating punch A version is very short and doesn't end in a knockdown, so most people use B version (medium range + Knockdown : Use with A>B chain for ez damage) or C version (Longer hop forward, knockdown with more airtime. Goes a little less that half screen. Does not combo with A>B) EX version does three hops forward with an attack at each hop. Last hit is a launcher.

A/B/C version

EX version

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
-	29 / 29 / 29	-	-	H	O	Knocks down	-
Easily her best move, contender for best advancing move in the game for mobility, speed, range, and combos, this move is excellent Chen-Mao divekicks at a 70 degree angle diagonally down. When you land with this move after hitting an opponent, you bypass recovery frames leading to easy combos. so anything that makes Yashaou's 214x the best move in the game also applies here Additionally, preforming this move at the apex of your jump can allow you to preform it twice in one jump, allowing you to left/right mix-up your opponent, and do some nasty crossup combos. Using 44 backhops, this move can combo into itself for an infinte, though it's not as consistent as just jumping. Don't blame me if you get arthritis early. does 2,3 and 4 hits for A,B and C respectively EX version does 10 hits, with the last one being a launcher

Supers

Ballad of the Goddess Fist - 女神の拳のバラード
236-236A/B/C

the Last stand MVP

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
-	59(53+6)	-	-	M	O	Knocks down	-15
Chen-Mao rushes forward with her elbow out. If she hits (not blocked) she commences a series of moves. ATTENTION EVERYONE! THIS MOVE COMBOES OFF OF GUARD BREAK I REPEAT, USE THIS AFTER GUARD BREAK! Sometimes, they occasionally don't always all seem to connect, and the move is sometimes blockable after the first 2 or 3 hits. However, when this does happen, damage will scale randomly, and from my testing can scale to ridiculous levels, anywhere from 1-2 full bars of HP. When it does work normally, which is most of the time, it gets 17 hits. and about 4/7th of an HP bar

Boost mode (22+ABC)

After Images :

Chen-Mao gets it on, SFA3 style. Gets a shadow that mirrors her attacks, allowing for nutty air combos. Moves will generally deal less damage, but, because of the shadow, she'll get more damage overall.

If the mirror image hits with a bash or other launcher, the hit has the launcher effect but doesn't count towards the 3 launcher limit. By timing it so that your attack misses but the mirror image's attack hits, it's possible to do many more than 3 launchers in a combo.

Chen-Mao's standing AB is functionally a launcher, since the mirror image hits right after the v.launcher hit, giving it normal launcher effect. The only way you'll get a v.launcher is if you do it from just far enough away that the mirror image misses, or so only the mirror image hits.

6B can now be cancelled into j.214A/B/C.

214A/B/C does different patterns of skulls.

Standing C cancels more easily.

Jumping C and AB can now be cancelled normally as well as delayed.

Chen-Mao's special moves all get more hits...except 214C, which is now a launcher.

Some special moves give higher knockdowns.
