+5 when blocked meaty, which combined with its broad cancel options make it a strong okizeme option with lots of item interaction potential.įaust's hurtbox is incredibly tall during this move, causing this move to lose to certain deep jump-in attacks however, his hurtbox doesn't extend forward much during the startup, making it hard to contest should the opponent interact with his extended leg. Hits all characters crouching, but due to the recessed lower hitbox, Faust will need to be a little closer to catch some of the smaller characters in the roster. Extremely versatile: useful for counterpoking, anti-airing, and checking forward movement, with high active frames and a low whiff recovery to boot. Input Tension The amount of Tension gained when the move is input. (Usually only applicable to Special moves)
OTG Ratio The proportion of damage dealt when hitting Off The Ground (OTG).Ĭhip Ratio The proportion of damage dealt on normal block. Wall Damage How much Wall Damage is applied when the move connects on hit.
this move builds when normal or instant blocked. Throws list the amount of Frame Advantage upon successfully throwing the opponent. This Frame Advantage value is based off the fact that the very first active frame touches the opponent. On-Hit The difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in hitstun. Proration A percentage-based damage modifier applied to certain attacks independently of other forms of damage scaling. His average damage output becomes a major threat with Roman Cancels, and Item-based mixups are only limited to the player's imagination.įaust is recommended for players who like to control the neutral game, paired with strong mixup & okizeme, and enjoy subjecting their opponents to very chaotic game states with lots of room for creativity & situational improvisation. 32 PRC Snip allows for near-unreactable fullscreen command grabs that come from either direction. N/A becomes a straightforward way to win neutral, and Scarecrow Guard: With meter available, Faust becomes a menace. And although his standing and air hurtboxes are larger than most of the cast, his unique movement option in back- and forward Crawl allows him to low profile attacks that most other characters are forced to block, leaving him in a position to whiff punish or present other counterplay. 32 is slow to use on its own, but with the right timing it can be Roman Cancelled to gain up to 16f of invulnerability, making it one of the stronger reversals in the game.
as well.įaust is no slouch on defense, either: his reversal Guard: Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups. Many Items grant Faust scary mixup opportunities during Okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters. When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. Even when the opponent does defend correctly, the ensuing Guard Crush from these sequences can lead into yet another mixup, making the situation after a successful Snip exceptionally advantageous for Faust.īoth Faust's zoning and grappling games are bolstered heavily by his highly favorable item pool, whose uses range from being as simple as screen hazards and HP restoration to tick throws, unreactable left/right 50/50s from fullscreen, and F-Shiki Sometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". , allowing him to run reversal-safe sequences that - done correctly - end in a high reward 4-way mixup that is incredibly hard to defend against. statistically.įaust can enforce an extremely oppressive strike/throw game with Snip Snip Snip Guard: If he's lucky, items will cover him to toss yet more items, leading to a chaotic game state where he wins. When he does land a hit, Faust gets a safe opportunity to build advantage with Item Toss Guard: With a unique blend of dominant mid-range zoning, a terrifying command grab, and his signature RNG-powered items, Faust is a hybrid zoner who thrives creating chaos on the battlefield.įaust's far-reaching pokes make him highly competent at contesting screen space in neutral, while his excellent light normals allow him to hedge against approach at ranges where his larger zoning tools become unwieldy.
