Street Fighter V/Zeku (Old)

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

About Zeku

Zeku is two characters in one, with an old form and a young form. The old form excels at long ranged spacing and poking, while the young form is better at pressure and combos. These give you a character who's good at pretty much everything but not all at once. Being strong with Zeku means you have to know when the right moment is to switch to the form best suited for whatever situation they're needed for. Good use of the form swap can throw an opponent off their game, as they'll have to constantly change what they have to watch out for in neutral. This goes for the Zeku player as well, as they'll have to constantly know what to do in neutral based on their form, not to mention memorizing his vast amount of combos and setups for both forms and between the two. If you like a character more complex than most with critical strengths and weaknesses that you'll swap constantly, Zeku could be just for you.

Unique Mechanics

By using his V-Skill 1, VT2, or pressing 22PP, Zeku will change from Old Zeku to Young Zeku. These are two completely different characters with different normals, command normals, and specials. Old Zeku is slower focusing more on spacing and ranged game, Young Zeku is much more offensively focuses. You will always start a round as Old Zeku. Change form can be done off select normals. As old Zeku all grounded normals excluding his command overhead, standing MK / HK, crouching LK, MP and HK. As young Zeku all grounded normals excluding standing MK, HK, command overhead and all crouching kicks.

SFV Frame Data Glossary
Active

How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for.

Attack

Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).

Cancel options

Available cancel options.

  • "ch": Chain cancel, refer to description for options.
  • "sp": Special move.
  • "su": Critical art.
  • "vs[1/2]": V-Skill 1 or 2.
  • "vt[1/2]": V-Trigger 1 or 2 activation.
Confirm windows

Hit confirm windows written as Specials & CAs/Target Combos/V-Trigger. Notation may denote V-Skill only cancel windows in Specials.

  • Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel into another move from the moment the attack connects with the opponent.
Crush Counter

Crush Counter hit advantage written as opponent state, frame advantage, and v-gauge gain on hit.

Damage

Attack damage on hit. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.

Hit/Block

These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit.

  • Note that generally, normal counter hits add an additional +2 to hit advantage in SFV.
Knockdown

Knockdown advantage against Normal, Quick Rise and Back Rise wake up options.

Recovery

How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.

Startup

How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1.

Stun

Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.

Integral for light confirms. Cancels into LK Gram Teki (QCB+LK) on standing opponents, and links into st.LK
If this jab is used at peak range, Zeku can combo into LK Gram Koku (QCF+LK) and loop it a few times (up to 4x Koku loops max) before being pushed out of range

Cancelable into from all special cancelable normals as well as all the Gram specials on HIT only (and on block with EX Koku / EX Teki)
See the 'tfOH' / 'tfOB' data for all the relevant data when canceling into this
The total Transform animation takes 25F but the transform happens on frame 10
If Zeku is hit before frame 10 then it stops the transformation from going through
Transform can be canceled early into any special move on frames 15-20 (essentially allows Zeku to act up to 10F earlier than normal but only through special moves)
If you're canceling the transform into specials for some combo or oki setup, just add +10 to the Hit / Block / Knockdown advantages (see 'tfOH' / 'tfOB' data) to determine what works or how much time you have to apply the oki (only +5 KDA when transforming after a Bushin Gram - Ban (Old Zeku's DP))

2 bar V-Trigger
Quickly dashes forward while fully invincible on frames 3-15 (and projectile invincible up to frame 17)
Can cancel instantly into any of his normals on frames 7-16 and allows him to perform a custom combo
Custom combo normals can be chained in the following order: LP>LK>MP>MK>HP>HK
First normal used after the dash (Idaten) can be canceled into specials or super (even if that button isn't normally cancelable)
Similar to Young Zeku's EX Run; it can be good to delay the follow-up cancels a little bit if you want to retain longer invincibility frames to go through certain attacks or bait things
If not canceled into anything on frames 7-16 then 9 frames of recovery follow afterwards (total frames of the V-Trigger Dash being 25 frames)
V-Trigger dash cancel data refers to Old Zeku's advantage after letting the full dash frames (25) play out (normally you'd cancel the dash into other normals, but I wanted to include the data anyway)

Damage Stun Attack Block
- - - -
Shifts back 1.21 range
Fully invincible on frames 1-9 during which time any strike or projectile evaded will trigger a slow-motion effect on frame 11 for both players
Immediately gains full invincibility for the full duration of V-Shift if you successfully evade a strike or projectile on start-up frames 1-9
Throw invincible on frames 1-16 on an empty / raw V-Shift
Counter-Hit state on frames 10-31 on an empty / raw V-Shift
Opponent can still cancel the attack that was V-Shifted as if it had connected (this allows for a lot of shenanigans)
Costs 300 V-Gauge (1 bar) to use and refunds 150 V-Gauge back (1/2 bar) on a successful V-Shift if the slow-mo is triggered
If the V-Shift is successful you can cancel it into a follow-up attack (see V-Shift Break) that's fully invincible and knocks the opponent down on hit
