Notes Forces stand on hit; active frames 3-4 whiff on crouching opponents unless they extend a vertical hurtbox; important combo and juggle tool (combos into 2PP~K naturally, and 2PP~P on Punish Counter); staggers opponent on grounded Punish Counter and launches into a high limited juggle state on airborne Punish Counter; good anti-air on frames 10-12 but cannot hit cross-up; head hurtbox is anti-air invuln 5-12f; kicking leg and upper body hurtbox is anti-air invuln on frame 10-12; extends a hurtbox 1f before active that is vulnerable to projectiles; Sinister Slide cancel: +15/+8; DR cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame

Notes Upper body and kicking leg are anti-air invuln 10-15f (during active frames); decent anti-air but cannot hit cross-up; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state on Counter-hit/Punish Counter; Punish Counter puts grounded opponents into limited juggle state; has high juggle potential, causing an air reset; Super cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame; extends a hurtbox 1f before active that is vulnerable to projectiles

Notes Semi-low profile 10-15f (crouch height); low profile 16-197f; Cancelable into follow-ups after 11f; can input up to exit stance after 28f (stance exit takes 21f on its own); automatically exits stance after 216f if no input is made (no low profile or projectile invincibility)

Hit Confirm

33(15) SA

Notes During Sinister Slide; 3f extra recovery on whiff; low profile 1-15f, semi-low profile 16-27f, crouch-sized hurtbox 28-35f; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage carries through both hits; good combo tool that is also safe on block; both hits put airborne opponent into limited juggle state; 15f hitconfirm window into SA3 refers to 2nd hit only

Notes During Sinister Slide; poisons the opponent on hit; triggers Toxic Blossom for a crumple state vs. grounded opponents, or a tumbling OTG state vs. airborne opponents; low profile 1-17f; low crush 20-31f; good anti-zoning tool, but can lose to slower projectiles at some ranges; sets up high damage punish combos (but does not combo naturally when canceled from any grounded normals)

Notes 8f extra recovery on whiff; Low Crush 11-26f (not airborne); 1st hit puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state (2nd hit causes air reset); excellent pressure tool, especially using Drive Rush forward momentum; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage carries through both hits

Notes Can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead

Notes Puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; useful air-to-air but aims very high; lower body projectile invuln 7-22f (if used immediately on the way up, can avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents on Counter-hit/Punish Counter; strong jump-in that doesn't extend hurtbox before active frames; lower body projectile invuln 11-23f except around the attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Cross-up; good air-to-air (A.K.I.'s longest horizontal jump-in)

Notes Solid jump-in attack; can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead (opponent must be in Burnout for true blockstring); lower body projectile invuln 7-20f except around the attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Good jump-in that doesn't extend hurtbox as much as j.HP; lower body projectile invuln 8-19f except around the attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Can switch sides with opponent (cross-up version usually has a fixed 23f recovery after passing through; total time depends on distance from opponent); at a very specific spacing, A.K.I. can cross-up with 43f move duration (extremely ambiguous left/right mixup); counter-hit state for entire move duration; projectile invincibility lasts longer on cross-up version; semi-low profile 11-17f (crouch height); crouching state 17f until end of recovery; low profile 18f until end of recovery; collision box disappears 20-31f to allow cross-up; Distance: 3.18 (3.84 cross-up)

Hit Confirm

17[16]

Notes Strike hitbox (no projectile clash); poisons opponent on hit; [Toxic Blossom] causes a higher launch on hit; no head hurtbox on frames 4-8; semi-low profile 9-30f (crouch height); only 1st active frame can realistically hit grounded opponents at close range; can anti-air vs. cross-ups; sets up a strong safe jump on non-TB hit midscreen or in the corner (must use cross-up j.2HP if opponent does not back rise midscreen)

Notes Entire animation is vulnerable to Punish Counter Throws; crouching state 17f until end of recovery; Same-side version: 42f total animation, 8 recovery frames at the end that are vulnerable to strikes; Cross-up version: the entire animation is strike/projectile invincible; total duration of cross-up version depends on distance from opponent (23f fixed recovery time after passing through); collision box disappears 7-33f to allow cross-up; Distance: 4.06 (3.52 cross-up)

Notes Feint (starts moving forward before retreating); counter-hit state for entire move duration; 8-13f semi-low profile (crouch height); 14-37f low profile; 14-36f crouching state (4f forced standing after recovery unless a crouching attack is input); Distance: -0.965

Hit Confirm

16[17]

Notes Strike hitbox with 1-hit projectile durability; poisons opponent on hit; [Toxic Blossom] hit launches opponent into a limited juggle state (can follow up with corner 236HP from close range); 6f extra recovery on whiff; slightly better frame advantage from longer ranges; extended arm is projectile invincible 13-16f; sets up a strong corner safe jump on Toxic Blossom hit but requires sacrificing the extra juggle; Punish Counter crumple puts opponent into limited juggle state (cannot follow up with grounded combo); Toxic Blossom PC juggle gives much stronger juggle follow-ups midscreen

Notes Stays on same side; counter-hit state for entire move duration; semi-low profile (crouch height) 9-15f and 39f; crouching state 14f until end of recovery; low profile 16-38f; Distance: 1.94

Notes Strike hitbox with 1-hit projectile durability; poisons opponent on hit; [Toxic Blossom] causes limited juggle crumple state on grounded hit, and a higher juggle (KD +60~72) on airborne hit; cannot hit crouching opponents (close-range hitbox can hit extended vertical hurtbox); can hit standing opponents from close range only; has a good anti-air hitbox but slow startup; sets up a strong corner safe jump on non-TB hit

Hit Confirm

[73]

Notes Strike hitbox with 1-hit OD projectile durability; poisons opponent on hit; A.K.I. pulls herself toward opponent on hit (fully invincible during pull animation); [Toxic Blossom] causes crumple on grounded hit (+5 before opponent becomes airborne, or +9 on Punish Counter) and resets the juggle counter vs. airborne opponents (free juggle state); only the [Toxic Blossom] follow-up is Super cancelable; slightly better block advantage if spaced out (cannot hit on final active frame in neutral, as hitbox doesn't move after 4th active frame); extended arm is projectile invincible 20-25f (great anti-projectile tool due to speed and range); Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage carries through the follow-up hit; mid-combo damage scaling does not apply to Toxic Blossom version; refunds 2000 Drive gauge on Toxic Blossom hit (after spending the initial 20000, so it will not prevent Burnout if A.K.I. has just under 2 Drive bars)

Hit Confirm

56(31) SA

Notes Farthest trajectory; cannot hit cross-up; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to all hits; landing recovery has a crouch-sized hurtbox despite being in a standing state; first 2 hits will whiff on crouching opponents (less damage, chip, Drive Dmg); can link naturally into 2LP for a follow-up combo; pushback on block keeps A.K.I. out of throw range but also weakens her Burnout pressure

Hit Confirm

33(6) SA

Notes Strike hitbox (no projectile durability); poisons opponent on hit; puts opponent into limited juggle state; extended arm is projectile invincible 13-21f; useful combo and juggle tool; relatively safe blockstring ender, but can whiff in cancels outside close range; can get significantly better frame advantage on a late meaty connect (up to +4 on block); leaves a 2f blockstring gap when canceled from 5LK, or a 4f gap (trade combo) when canceled from 2LP; 6f hitconfirm window into SA3 refers to 2nd hit only

28(19) SA

Notes Hold left/right to steer trajectory; cannot hit cross-up; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to all hits on non-cinematic version; landing recovery has a crouch-sized hurtbox despite being in a standing state; goes into grab animation on a grounded hit for full damage and follow-up oki, but 3rd/4th hits can get a non-cinematic hit late in the active frames (400~640 damage); poisons opponent on hit (cinematic or non-cinematic); puts airborne opponents into a limited juggle OTG state (KD +51~58); Super cancel works only on non-cinematic version; SA2 cancel will not combo unless LP version lands as a counter-hit or Punish Counter

Notes Slow-moving 1-hit projectile; can be extremely plus on hit/block from longer ranges or when used with meaty timing; poisons the opponent on hit; extended arm hurtbox is projectile invincible 16-41f; 6P follow-up can be input on frames 30-36 (detonates bubble if it hasn't yet collided with opponent); cancelable into 236KK from frame 36 until end of recovery (can help avoid punishes or advance forward for pressure)

Hit Confirm

8[13] SA

Notes Poisons opponent on hit; refers to the non-burst version (projectile dissipates, causing the whip to strike the opponent rather than the bubble); [] refers to data when whip connects during Toxic Blossom, causing a limited juggle state; the whip is a 1-hit projectile that will detonate the 214LP bubble if still active on-screen (despite being a projectile, a perfect parry gives screen freeze like a strike); at close range, there is a 1f gap between the projectile and whip on block (can be delayed to create frame traps from farther ranges)

Hit Confirm

56(31) SA

Notes Medium trajectory; cannot hit cross-up; Counter-hit/Punish Counter bonus advantage applies to all hits; landing recovery has a crouch-sized hurtbox despite being in a standing state; first 2 hits will whiff on crouching opponents (less damage, chip, Drive Dmg)

Notes Places a pool of poison on the ground that poisons the opponent; poison cannot be blocked, and is constantly reapplied as long as the opponent is in close proximity; cannot use another 214MP until the first one has dissipated (can exist alongside SA2 poison pool, but the poison damage does not stack between them); A.K.I. is in a counter-hit state for entire 46f attack animation

Hit Confirm

12 SA

Notes Slow-moving 2-hit OD projectile; can be extremely plus on block from longer ranges or when used with meaty timing; poisons the opponent on hit; 2nd hit knocks opponent into limited juggle state; extended arm hurtbox is projectile invincible 16-36f; 6P follow-up can be input on frames 34-35 (detonates bubble if both hits haven't yet collided with opponent); cancelable into 236KK on frames 32-33 (can help avoid punishes)

Notes Hitbox does not move during active frames (cannot space to make it safer in neutral); very disjointed hitbox, but easily punished in neutral; has some juggle potential

Notes Semi-low profile 10-15f (crouch height); low profile 16-197f; Cancelable into follow-ups after 11f; can input up to exit stance after 28f (stance exit takes 21f on its own); automatically exits stance after 216f if no input is made (no low profile or projectile invincibility)

Notes Semi-low profile 10-15f (crouch height); low profile 16-197f; Cancelable into follow-ups after 11f; can input up to exit stance after 28f (stance exit takes 21f on its own); automatically exits stance after 216f if no input is made (no low profile or projectile invincibility)

Notes Poisons opponent on hit; good anti-air hitbox but cannot hit cross-up; transition to a cinematic on hit; very short horizontal range; if SA1 trades with a projectile right as it hits, opponent will be launched into a high limited juggle float state, allowing a follow-up juggle

Notes No invincibility; Super-priority projectile hitboxes; button strength determines distance (LP close/mid range, MP mid range to full screen, HP full screen); poisons the opponent on hit; creates a pool that lasts 700f, poisoning opponent while in close proximity; reapplies poison as long as opponent is close to pool; pool placement depends on button strength used; poison pool moves forward after MP/HP versions; SA2 poison pool can exist simultaneously with 214MP pool (poison does not stack); MP version can be used to counter projectiles (if too far, may drop out; if too close, A.K.I. will be hit before projectile dissipates); heavier versions can whiff if used from close range, especially vs. crouching; opponent cannot Drive Reversal until the 2nd to last hit (right before poison detonation)

Notes Cannot hit cross-up; cinematic time regenerates ~2.2 Drive bars for A.K.I.
