Grappler character that scares the opponent into being predictable, only to fall into his traps.

Anasui is a strange character with a small assortment of odd normals and specials that can be used in different combinations and timings to mix the opponent up. Of note are his command throws that have good range, are fast, and can lead to combos. Once the opponent gets weary of them, Anasui can then start mixing it up to get free combos. He has no main mode, instead S-OFF and S-ON give different mixup tools and command throws to open the opponent up.

In S-OFF he has 214A, a chargeable attack that leaves a spring trap behind. This trap is good for okizeme, frame traps, juggle combos, and even taunt combos. 623A is a great anti-air and combo ender. 41236A is a long range command throw where LMH determines the distance. This throw comes out fast enough to catch opponents, and then launches them for a combo. Being hit by this will make the opponent weary of blocking. In S-ON, 41236A is a short ranged command throw, but it comes out very fast and is an invincible reversal as well. It can be PC canceled for a combo. 214A sends his stand far to attack low(L), mid(M), and rapid punch combo starter (H). The H version in particular is great as it not only juggles for a combo with Stand Rush, but pushes the opponent towards you. 214A in the air, is a hovering overhead punch. Both forms of 214A can be Stand Rushed.

Anasui will feel limited and low damage in the hands of a beginner. However, simply changing the timing and combination of normals and specials can create an array of mix ups and traps to make life hell for the opponent. Experimentation and practice are necessary to open up this character’s potential and higher damage combos. Overall he’s a solid, if strange character that rewards creativity.
