Moves List

Normal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5A	6	2	24	-	940	-	Decent length, decent damage
2A	8	2	-	-	940	-	Ghetto anti-air
5B	11	-	-	-	1800	-	Even ghetto'r anti air but look at that damage
2B	9	-	-	-	1780	-	Reaches irresponsibly far
5C	17	-	-	-	2850	-	Also reaches irresponsibly far
2C	20	-	-	-	3020	Low	Reaches 3/4th of the screen, is a low sweep and does too much damage, this character is crazy. Thankfully it doesn't link to anything without baroque or meter
3C	16	-	-	-	3000	Launcher	Hitbox is the entire stupid green pillar
4C	16	-	-	-	3000	Armored	It's his 5C except it autoguards everything. Thankfully it doesn't link to anything but you can 4C -> Falchion -> P To annoyingly be safe.
j.A	6	6	-	-	1020	Overhead	A jumping jab, really good hitbox, not too active but active enough
j.B	11	2	-	-	1580	Overhead	Basically j.A but faster, definitely mandatory for his relaunch though
j.C	15	8	-	-	4056	Overhead	Second best pizza cutter, hits twice, lots of hitstun for grounded opponents, tough to challenge, hits all around blade
j.2C	10	-	-	-	-	Overhead	Just like Frank West's 2C, it's an overhead vertical divekick. Blade "can" be hit out of it but the chances of that happening are extremely rare, maybe Y-2's robot can do it if he feels like it.

Special Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Shamshir Mash X	9/11/16	-	-	-	3255/5037/6859	-	Blade takes his lance and swings it around his head. The hitbox is crazy big. Blade is punishable IF you can tell which version he's using
Baselard 236X A B C	16/21/26	-	-	-	2300/4380	-\Hard Knockdown	Blade separates his lance and tosses it out A Version is a regular hadouken B version is anti-air hitgrab. In air it becomes horizontal hitgrab C Version is horizontal hitgrab. In air it becomes Diagonal down hitgrab Useable on giants
Katzbalger [2]->8X A/B C	20	-	-	-	3329/4273/6495	Wallbounce	Blade spins his lance actually above his head this time A and B are pure anti-air attacks C version starts as an anti-air, then carries to the wall for a wallbounce. 3C sjc j.B j.B jc j.B j.B [2]C C Katzbalger is a beginner's relaunch
Falchion 214X	11	-	-	-	3850/5498/6949	-	Blade speeds past the enemy with his lance trailing behind him. Block where blade is standing not where the lance is. Strength determines Blade's travel length. Hold the button to add up to 20 Frames of delay for the crossup.

Super Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Crash Intrude 236XX	1+2	-	-	-	9958	-	Invincible on startup. Blade flys across the screen and ping pongs the enemy around. If done at full screen enemy can baroque to safety, at close range it punishes basically everything. Useable on Giants Useable in air
Voltekka 623X	22+10	-	-	-	13987	-	Blade aims diagonally up and blasts laser beams. It has really bad startup so it's only good for DHCs.
Omnidirectional Super Voltekka 63214XX Even if he misses he still hits	7+20	-	-	-	22051 (20350 if missed)	-	Blade shoots out a small circular wave, if it hits enemy is blasted by the voltekka. If blade misses, the wave comes out anyway, it's just blockable at that point. Usually reserved for combos or chip kill. Cinematic works on giants
