Story

Kenuichio Harada, better known as Silver Samurai, is a mutant with the ability to create tachyon fields, and focus them onto anything. Generally he puts this on his sword, allowing it to cut through almost anything. He is a sometimes foe-sometimes friend of the X-Men, and Wolverine in particular.

In Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Silver Samurai is a very flexible character with a great projectile, good mixup, an instant overhead, and one of the best supers in the entire game. With just one meter, you can hard punish any bad assist call, and the super is 100% safe on block. Generally, Silver Samurai fits with any team. He loves having meter, and has two decent assists, though generally he needs an assist to do anything special. He also has the most supers of any character in the game, but most of them are not that useful.

Gameplay

Silver Samurai is a flexible fighter who can do a lot with very little. Even having just one bar is enough to get your opponent to rethink calling assists. He also has good health, and great chip damage.

Light Punch
5LP //

A quick slash.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
4	5	3	20	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Chain, Special, Super	-	-	-
Very long recovery for a light attack. On the last active frame, the hitbox changes to the one in the second image, this takes 2 frames. (Note the thin, tiny hitboxes - this is a running theme with this character.)

Another quick slash.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
4	2	4	18	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Chain, Special, Super	-	-	-
Very long recovery for a light attack. This attack does not come out on hit by mashing, you must intentionally delay your input. This will come out by pressing LP twice, even if the first hit whiffs. On the last active frame, the hitbox changes to the one in the second image, this takes 3 frames.

Medium Punch
5MP //

One slash.

Two slashes.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
5, 3	8	2, 2	34	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
Mainly used as a move with more hitstun to confirm into his specials or supers.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
10	11	2	45*	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
A swing of his sword upward. The asterisk in the recovery field denotes that this move has a special property, it can be crouch cancelled to shorten the recovery to just 12 frames. On the last active frame, the hitbox changes to the one in the second image, this takes 1 frame.

Heavy Punch
5HP, 5HP// ,

A followup slash that knocks down.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
10	9	4	40	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
A swing of his sword at the opponents feet. This knocks down on hit, but even though it looks like it hits low, it does not. Cannot be crouch cancelled, so recovery is static.

Light Kick

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
13	15	1	31	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
One of the more bizarre moves in Silver Samurai's movekit, he leaps forward and attacks overhead with a stab (though it can be blocked low or high). This does put him airborne, but it can still be special and super cancelled, including before when the hitbox comes out.

Jumping Normals

Jumping Light Punch

Wow, a move that doesn't have completely weird hitboxes or frame data!

4	6	10	16	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Chain, Special, Super	-	-	-

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
7	6	9	12	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

Swings his blade upward in the air. Mainly just combo filler. Takes 6 frames to switch to the next hitbox image.

Jumping Heavy Punch
Jump +

A downward aerial swing.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
13	10	2	Until landing	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
Swings his blade downward. Does not trigger flying screen, allowing for a much easier mixup after an air combo. Technically has 239 frames of recovery, but you'll never see all of them. Takes 1 frame to switch to the next hitbox image.

Jumping Light Kick
Jump +

A downward kick.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
4	5	18	4	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock

Jumping Medium Kick
Jump + ,

An upward aerial stab.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
7	6	2	14	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Chain, Special, Super	-	-	-
An upward stab. Mainly used as air combo filler.

Jumping Heavy Kick
Jump +

Let the mix begin.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
13	9	1	Until landing	H
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	Special, Super	-	-	-
This is it. One of Silver Samurai's best moves for opening opponents up. This hits a crouching opponent as an instant overhead on nearly everyone on the cast. Combine this with a good assist like Tron projectile or Cyclops anti-air, and you can land a half health combo, j.HP ender, rinse and repeat until the opponent is dead. Technically has 268 frames of recovery, but you'll never see all of them.

Universal Mechanics

Crouching heavy punch, but a bit better.

Projectile	Super	-	-	-
Silver Samurai throws a multihitting shuriken at his opponent. You can guide the projectile by pressing up or down on the joystick. HP travels faster than LP. Every hit does chip damage, making this a good projectile on block too.

Silver Samurai swings rapidly in front of him, now while running. This is MASSIVELY unsafe on block, so be sure that the slashes before this move hit, otherwise you'll be eating the biggest combo the opponent has to offer.

Assists

Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
One of his two good assists. Very good for lockdown and extending pressure, as he's out swinging for a while. A "ghetto version" of Spiral's γ assist.

Shuriken

Silver Samurai throws a multihitting shuriken at his opponent. Good for zoning, and does decent chip.

Assist γ

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
13	-	-	-	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
-	-	-	-	-
...this is just crouching heavy punch. The only good thing going for this assist is that the team super is Raimeiken, but that's just a waste. Don't bother picking this assist.

Hyper Combos

Cho-Shuriken
QCF+PP // + (Air OK, in lightning mode only)

Throws three of these shurikens.

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
45	11 (10 pre-freeze, 1 post-freeze)	-	-	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	-	-	-	-
Silver Samurai throws three shurikens at once. Does very good chip damage, as every single one of the 18 hits does 1 point of chip.

Raimeiken
QCF+KK, in normal or lightning mode // +, in normal or lightning mode

Raimeiken!!

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
3 damage per hit, total damage varies based on distance, mashing, and current combo amount.	11 (9 pre-freeze, 2 post-freeze)	93 (no mashing, can last longer by mashing)	15	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	-	-	-	-
One of the best supers in the entire game. Blows up bad assist calls, does massive damage, can be heavily mashed, and covers the entire screen. It's also completely safe on block as well. Sometimes this super has small gaps where the opponent can fall out of the lightning, and you can potentially be punished for it, but overall, a fantastic super.

Homuraken
QCF+KK, in fire mode // +, in fire mode

The pillar of fire!

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
2 damage per hit	9 (9 pre-freeze, 0 post freeze)	95	15	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	-	-	-	-
A somewhat ok super, though you have to be in fire mode to access this super, and because of that, you barely ever see it. Also unsafe on block, and due to fire mode's penalties, Silver Samurai will get massively blown up if you do this at the wrong time.

Hyougaken
QCF+KK, in ice mode // +, in ice mode

Freeze!

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
20 (level 1), 30 (level 2), 40 (level 3)	17 (15 pre-freeze, 2 post freeze)	-	48	HL
Special Property	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard	Adv. Pushblock
Projectile	-	-	-	-
Silver Samurai leaps to the middle of the screen, then slams his blade into the ground, sending up a row of ice spikes on either side of him. These spikes freeze the opponent on hit. Somewhat decent, but he's completely vulnerable traveling to the middle of the screen, and can be easily avoided with a jump.

Hyougaken
QCF+KK, in ice mode // +, in ice mode

All powerups have the same hitboxes.
