Yatagarasu v4.3 Notes: Universal Mechanics

Yata system
---------------
throws
- 3f startup with 2 active frames
- 9f tech window in total
- the 6 first frames will get a neutral tech, the last 3 give a backflip
- on wakeup you are throw invincible for 6 frames, unless you quickrise (P ukemi)

Universal Overhead (LP+HP)
- always 0 on block, 0 on hit at point blank against a standing opponent
- against a crouching opponent, always grants a combo
- Hina and Shimo can combo off of a UOH on a standing opponent at point blank

Guard Meter
- guard too much, get fucked

Universal Guard Break (HP+HK)
- one hit, causes instant guard break on block (sort of unblockable), parryable
- most characters can combo an ex move, normal, or super afterwards, but not a full combo because it has a long recovery
- some characters can get a full combo if it is blocked at point blank range

counter hits
- high jump counter - 2x damage from normals/specials OR 1.5x damage from supers and throws
- BL counter - character-specific juggle starter in air - 1.5x damage on ground
- crouching counter - 1.25x damage
- super armor counter - 1.5x damage (When super armor is hit, the defender takes 1.5x damage and zero combo scaling occurs if multiple hits make contact)

life scaling (guts)
- yes
- less than 50% HP: -5% damage
- less than 25% HP: -10% damage
- less than 10% HP: -25% damage

super selection
- gives one of two buffs to that super
- 1.2x damage (most)
- changes property (Chadha's grab, Jet's mode super)

damage scaling
- combos show you scaling actively (in training mode)
- next to the damage display is a number, that number shows how much the next hit's damage will scale (%)
- individual hits scale

parries
 - press only, not release
 - high parry out-prioritizes low parry, you cannot parry both zones at once

tripguard
- same as Street Fighter for all jumps. You can block when you land if you empty jump but cannot if you press a button in the air.

ukemi
- on soft knockdowns you can press any P or K when you touch the ground
- P = quickrise, you lose the throw invincibility you would normally get on wakeup
- K = delayed wakeup
- you can quick rise after a sweep, but you can not use delayed wake up on a sweep

negative edge inputs
- yes

damage reduction
- while you are being hit, you can reduce the damage you take by pressing buttons.
- press any P when being hit by any P attack
- press any K when being hit by any K attack
- the window is very small and the damage reduction is very little
- the game accepts negative edge inputs for damage reduction

super juggles
- some supers can combo after some air resets if there are juggle points left, but they can be air parried

Life
- all characters have 51,600 health
