Move Analysis

Stance Shift

Gen's stance shifting can be done at any time (during the actual round), but while in neutral, walking or crouching it will take 5 frames to do so. If you don't want to become vulnerable, or you just want to hide it, you can change stances while dashing, jumping, attacking, etc.

Normal Moves

Mantis Stance

S.LP: Typical fast jab. It's 3 frame startup makes this Gen's fastest attack. It chains and got nice frames on both hit and block.

S.MP: This is a key move among Gen's links. Startup at 4 frames, +5 on block and +6 on hit.

S.HP: A fast two-hitter for up close. Forces stand, so you can cancel into HK Gekiro after.

S.LK: With 5 frames of startup and -3 on block, this move is not to be thrown out lightly.

S.MK: A fast and far reaching poke. Cancelling it into Hands (and then into Super) is a staple tool. Priority is lacking though, with a vulerable hitbox extending well past the attackbox.

S.HK: Less speed, reach and damage than S.MK xx Hands, but with much greater priority.

C.LP: Standard crouching jab. Not really as good as either s.lp or c.lk.

C.MP: Another useful zoning tool. It's 2 frames slower than s.mk, but with slightly better damage/frames/priority.

C.HP: Gen's furthest reaching poke, and with great priority that doubles as an anti-air.

C.LK: A 4 frame low attack, standard fare.

C.MK: A bit slow and lacking reach, but useful for going into Hands from a low hit.

C.HK: Gen's sweep is one of the slower, less damaging ones in the game, but it's one of his furthest reaching attacks. You really want those knockdowns.

J.MK: Crossup move. Will be used often.

J.HK: Upward angled air-to-air move with nice damage and priority.

Crane Stance

S.LP: A 4 frame jab that's -4 on block, nothing you'll want to just throw out there. Can chain-cancel into c.lk though.

S.MP: Standard overhead, two hitter with great reach.

S.HP: A deceptive low hitter. Slow but does huge damage. It's unsafe, but the pushback makes it hard to punish. Use it only when the opponent is exptecting an overhead.

S.LK: 8 frame startup, punishable on block. Capcom just didn't want us to use this move.

S.MK: A decent poke with nice damage/priority. Punishable if blocked up close.

S.HK: When used as an anti-air, if only the first hit connects (or trades) you can follow up with Crane Super.

C.LP: A 4 frame jab that leads to nothing. At least this one's even on block.

C.MP: Gen's best poke from Crane stance. It's -3 on block so it can be punished, but only if it's done up close.

C.HP: At 21 frames startup this is a tricky move to use, and note that you take almost twice the damage if you're hit during startup. It does great damage and stun though, so using it after a Focus crumble is a nice option.

C.LK: A quick lancher that is horrible on block. This is a key move to combo into.

C.MK: This move allows Gen to duck under most projectiles, and that's about it.

C.HK: Gen's most reliable anti-air move. Note that it's punishable by a grounded opponent even on hit.

J.MP: This is actually Gen's jumpin with the best priority. Useful if the opponent anti-airs you with normals.

J.HP: Gen curls up into a ball while attacking, giving it a nice priority and guarantees a deep jumpin.

J.LK: Great upward angeled hitbox, fast startup and very long active time. The only drawback is it's puny damage.

J.MK: Gen actually kicks backwards, making this a great and deceptive crossup tool.

J.HK: You can actually hit this move twice (Gen's command normal, Shakudan), making it a tricky and damaging jumpin. When done as an air-to-air it allows you to follow up with Crane Super/Ultra 1.

Unique Attacks

Shakudan: Crane J.HKx2

Double overhead, making it damaging and tricky. If done air-to-air it juggles into Crane Super/Ultra 1.
