Normal Attacks

Standing Normals

Far 5A

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5A	1520	2	-	-	H/L	Yes	+8	+12

Close 5A

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5A	1520	3	-	-	H/L	Yes	+7	+11
Hits almost directly above Amon, good anti air in a pinch.

Far 5B

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5B	3040	8	-	-	H/L	Yes	+7	+11
Great button for combos and poking. Will combo when cancelled into elbow at nearly any distance. Does not hit low, despite appearances.

Close 5B

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5B	3040	4	-	-	H/L	Yes	+7	+11

Far 5C

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5C	4560	14	-	-	H/L	No	+7	+9
Large, highly active spinning heel kick. Solid hitbox, but slower than average startup and lack of cancellability result in a mediocre button at best. Outclassed by Far 5D for basically everything.

Close 5C

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5C	4560	5	-	-	H/L	Yes	-6	-4
Amon performs a front kick before springing off of the opponent and flipping backwards. A strange button with unusual frame data, this is usually safe despite its negativity due to high pushback. Gives higher damage than 5B when cancelled into elbow, but only combos off of jump ins due to limited range and input overlap.

Far 5D

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5D	6080	24 (Air)/30 (Ground)	-	-	H	No	Variable (+8 Minimum)	Variable (+5 Minimum)
Supermassive overhead kick with extremely long active frames. Despite its slow startup this button is highly useful, can be linked into 2B/5B whenever it connects to start combos. Also extremely potent as an anti-air.

Close 5D

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
5D	6496 (3040+3456)	9	-	-	H/L, H	Yes (1st Hit)	+7	+5
Another great combo starter for Amon, 2nd hit is overhead and can be linked into 2B on hit. Fantastic way to start punishes, or combo after a crossup.

Crouching Normals

2A

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
2A	1520	2	-	-	H/L	Yes	+8	+12

2B

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
2B	3040	3	-	-	L	Yes	+9	+13
Outstanding low poke and combo tool, extremely fast and easy to link into and out of.

2C

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
2C	4560	4 (Air)/14 (Ground)	-	-	H/L	Yes	+13	+15
A bizarre attack in which Amon performs a crouching axe kick. A reliable anti-air in its early frames, and a highly advantageous but otherwise unremarkable grounded button in its later frames.

2D

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
2D	6080	12	-	-	L	No	KD	-2 to -10
Long-ranged slide, this can be spaced to be safe. Decent grounded poke and knowledge check.

Aerial Normals

Neutral J. A

8A	1520	3	-	-	H	Yes	Variable	Variable

J. A

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
7/9A	1520	1	-	-	H	Yes	Variable	Variable
A rare one-frame button, this obviously makes it a fantastic choice in aerial scrambles, though beware its short range.

J. B

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
7/8/9B	3040	4	-	-	H	Yes	Variable	Variable

J. C

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
7/9C	4560	6	-	-	H	Yes	Variable	Variable
Amon's general-purpose aerial button, deals solid, consistent damage and has a nice crossup hitbox.

J. D

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
7/8/9D	6080 (1520+4560)	4	-	-	H, H	Yes (1st hit)	Variable	Variable
Amon's best jump-in for combos, such as during a dash. First hit tends to whiff against crouching opponents.

Special Moves

Version	Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
D	46D	7790	6 (point blank)	-	-	H/L	Into	KD	-9
Amon performs a rushing back elbow attack. Charge time is 1.25 seconds. Stronger versions deal more damage and travel faster, but recover slower. An essential combo ender for Amon, the knockdown leaves enough time to dash up for whatever okizeme you want to try.

Shihoken (Reverse)
X before Shihoken connects

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
X before Shihoken connects	Varies	24	-	-	H/L	N/A	Varies	Varies
Amon warps behind his opponent and performs a surprise Shihoken after a short delay. Copies the damage and frame data of whatever version of Shihoken was initially used. Must be blocked as a crossup. A potent mixup and okizeme tool if used sparingly, but easy to mash out of. Extraordinarily useful for anti-zoning, as Amon will always end up directly behind the opponent no matter where he uses this attack.

Rekka Bakuen Heki

Version	Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
D	28D	9120	21	-	-	H/L	Into	KD	-45
Amon puts his hand to the ground and produces a large explosion with him at the center. Charge time is 1.25 seconds. Stronger versions produce more explosions, up to four. Possesses invincibility, but only once Amon's hand has touched the ground. A slow, but high damage anti-air option that will stop attacks from either side. Highly unsafe on block, so not recommended for use against grounded opponents.

Version	Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
D	412D	8480 (6 hits)	27	-	Until grounded	H/L	Into	Variable	Variable
Amon throws a spread of shuriken from the air to the ground. Stronger versions throw more shuriken, up to 6 total. Covers a lot of space and deals decent damage, but forces Amon into an uninterruptable falling animation after the move is completed, giving it very high recovery and limiting its usage.

Super Moves

Mokko Bakudan
41236XX

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
41236XX	13312	38 (varies based on character height)	-	-	H	Into	KD	-29
Amon warps above his opponent, perches on their head, and recites the nine Kuji-in seals before they explode in a massive ball of fire. Fully invincible during startup. Hits overhead, but can be blocked from either side. Somewhat slow to start, but tracks to the opponent's location and deals respectable damage. Works very well as an anti-zoning tool, try to use this on reaction to your opponent throwing a projectile. Does not appear to be possible to combo into. Will switch sides with the opponent on successful connect, but stays on the same side on block.

Air Mokko Bakudan
41236XX in air

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
41236XX	13312	38 (varies based on character height)	-	-	H	Into	KD	-29
Everything said about the grounded version also applies here. Can be used as a gimmicky surprise attack after air blocking/double jumping.

Cho Bakuen Rai
Hold 2~8XX

Input	Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	On Hit	On Block
28XX	10366+?	24	-	-	H/L	Into	KD	Variable
Amon focuses his ki and summons a series of lightning bolts that repeatedly strike down around him. Fully invincible during startup. Incredibly tall vertical hitbox, appears to reach the top of the stage. Amon's ideal reversal super, the first lightning bolt to connect will deal far more damage than any others. Damage and frame advantage can vary greatly depending on stage position and size of opponent.
