The Basics

Amano Hyo is the poking character for excellence in the game, had a lot of punish or keepaway focused specials and can start a basic combo after a one.

He is one of the "true four gods" in the game along with Moriya,Zantetsu and Lee.

Main weakness is that his projectiles are Ultimate Super only and commonly taste his own soup being punished easily after a failed standing or jumping B or Mash Special rush or Wood Slash

Advanced Strategy

Gameplay

Stick to jumping Snkc.gif for air to air and jump-ins. Snka.gif is good as well from certain angles.

Use D.png+Snka.gif for footsies, and Dp.png+Snkc.gif only to punish air-recoveries or to combo off a ground to air parry.

After any successful Dp.png+Snkc.gif or any kind of knockdown where they bounce, dash in and punish their ground recovery with D.png+Snka.gif xx 616A/Snkb.gif xx 6321463214Snka.gifSnkb.gif

After any successful stick rush combo, end with either 5Snkc.gif (whiff) > 616Snka.gif or 3Snkb.gif xx 63214Snkb.gif (hold), Snkd.gif (cancels move) for meter.

Gonna have to do a lot of hit and run with Amano, since he doesn't have a whole lot mix-up wise, but his damage is just monstrous, and that simple D.pngSnka.gif combo is the closest thing you have to c. Mk.png BS in this game. He's not a priority whore the way Chun' is though. Although his jumping Snkc.gif stuffs a lot of crap.

Avoid jumping Snkb.gif at all costs.

The B.png+Snkb.gif stuff can be semi-useful since it's slightly delayed but recovers quickly.

His SDM isn't great either. It comes out way too slowly for it to actually have a chance of hitting anyone.

His slide is ok on occasion from max range, but it's pretty slow as well.

If your 2Snka.gif gets blocked and you don't think they'll jump, link (don't cancel) into his 33C

It's an old SF2 style tick throw trick, but it does work on occasion.
