Yeah Anji sucks you don't need to change on HOW you fight him you just need to know his weakness 1. Bad Frame data 2. Spin TAKES 10 FRAMES before the parry is active so he can't use it on wake up. 3 his Jump Fan has a Gap a major one unlike the Old Games the fan doesn't have a hit box until it hits the ground making this HIS only plus on block Fujin option...IF you are asleep at the wheel. Since the person you pinned told you about how bad the fan throw is. Any good player or decent player will learn the fact you can mash through it. Jump throw it, Air to air it, 6P it, Super it (prepatch characters could run forward through it) I main this character since the beta and he is awful he is a scrub killer for sure but past that its not that big of a change. just play normally and just keep in mind if he has 1 bar he now has a REAL wake up option which is the parry super. Out side of that you can bully him LIKE EVERYONE else. Thats how bad he is. Learn the match up = Anji an even worse character lol @@ctrlaltCookie
Anji is my go to example whenever I need to explain that a Guilty Gear Twink is bigger than the beefiest man in Genshin Impact. A true himbo from top to bottom, he's a treasure.
"Hello I can evade and parry everything except grabs - I'm the worst character" - this is why guilty gear characters are fxxking insane and it's a miracle it works
I remember way back when I first started strive, anji was difficult for me to fight. I labbed for 20 minutes against fuujin followups a couple times and saw some success. I entered a tournament with my friend and while we both ended up going 1-2 or 2-2, I beat the anji that knocked him out of losers side.
Something that I always seem to get confused by is that Kou is not a DP and he recovers in the air so you can't punish it like a DP. I probably get confused since the only other special moved that leave you actionable in the air are Chipp's Diagonal Alpha Blade and Millia's Kapel and those are very different character types.
Kou also can't hit grounded opponents so you can hit him on the way up if he throws it out without getting you airborne first. It's a combo tool and not really a get off me like a DP
God I love anji so much Unironically maiming maining him since I laid eyes on him in Accent core plus A Also it's really funny when I say Fuujin > S > S.Fuujin > Fuujin > Hs > Fuujin > K > Throw It's literally just GUESS GUESS GUESS *GUESS*
a man tries to poke and gets autogaurded and you think that of me? no. i am the one who slashes, far slashes, into fujin, nagiha, red burst then into kou.
As a longtime competitive Anji player, it’s so interesting to look back and see how bad Anji was before his buffs in S2 and the addition of Fish, especially since with those two combined, he’s now considered a top 10 character in the game lmao
Man, I need to remember run up grab more. He's not terrible to fight as Testament from preferred range since if he spins through grave Reaper, you're guaranteed a follow up Crow will catch the recovery frames. But unfortunately then he just spins through the normals that would pop the stain state and it goes away once you're hit
some royalty & copyright free song, I'll dig it out, i have a catalogue of free stuff i bought a decade ago to avoid getting in trouble, mostly i use game music now tho
We all know that the real reason that it's hard to fight, it's because one is distracted with this beast of a manwife that he is and the tears caused by his song blocks your sight
Nagiha (S follow-up) is actually the safest follow-up, mainly because of the pushback, especially if not user point-blank. Kou (P follow-up) is extra vulnerable on DP. I wouldn't dare use any other option than Nagiha on a greedy Leo for example
There are action some cracked players who can punish Fujin-Punch by predicting that move and jumping before it comes out. It’s safe on block IF it’s blocked.
Slight correction for an Anji player: Fujin's Slash followup is actually the safe option unless you absolutely botch the spacing because it should push you far enough away that most fast pokes can't reach you. The Punch followup is the only + on block option, with the downside being the veryu punishable gap beforehand. The best way to fight Anji is to be defensive and force him to attack into you first. While he has amazing tools to combo and punish hard, his ability to poke and pressure without resources are ok at best. Make him come to you.
When I first played thi game seriously (as in more than just the demo) I ai trained against this guy constantly and I always had trouble because of spin and him using the move where the camera moves between his fans and a bird flying through
@@ctrlaltCookie oh HAHAHAHA OMG I didn't know. Thank you so much for telling me, I've been looking for it for days and I didn't think it was its own theme. Thanks a lot 😅
Anji may or may not be the worst character still (imho Pot and Sin are much worse) but he's certainly not bad or tragic as he used to be, he's plenty great and as an Anji main I never feel limited by him anymore
I’d be very interested or know what your Keybinds are as I’m thinking of trying out my keyboard as the controller when I finally get back to having a mech
When Anji spins through a move, he is stuck in a 38 frame animation while the opponent is frozen for 28 BUT you can PRC to get yourself out of the freeze. Also, the opponent is not frozen if Anji spins through a projectile. And did you know Anji can low-profile under charged Stun Edge with 2D?
it's gappy when used at the right spacing and all it takes is an FD break dash to get punished. it isn't a bad attack it's just not the most scary thing in the world and can be mitigated to quite a large extent
Yet once you learn the secret to getting out of Fuujin pressure Anji becomes the most frustrating to play. There is no reason to pick Anji over Leo who has Fujin and more in his backturn stance an auto parry Shield moves.
The only reason I played as him was to get the Messiah will not come trophy. Yes I have platinum trophy. Other than getting the platinum trophy, I dooo not like playing Anji lol.
yeah its nagiha and charged fuujin only allows more guard point and travel time so it's only useful for varying timing and moving further all this aside, dont take my words as gospel always head to the wiki! i get stuff wrong so what you're doing is the best thing you can
Do it too close and your opponent is hit with the earliest active hitboxes of the attack, leaving you more vulnerable. If you space Nagiha correctly, you get a meatier hit to make yourself safer.
I get this video was a while ago but like. You played on keyboard???? Get well soon we pray for your recovery to controller or a 2 kajillion dollar hitbox
Ngl Anji sucks in some point but if u find a good Anji, u gonna get clapped right away, i remember playing one game as axl and well not a big deal i won the first match and the second one at the end i put out my ultimate for cheap damage, MF SPINNED AROUND THAT SHIT AND PUT A COMEBACK, MF ALMOST MAKE ME UNINSTALL THE GAME
Anji is good to bully your casual gg player as there's 4 Anji players in the world so if you get decent at him you can just stomp almost anyone below f10
Lol, you've hit the nail on the head. I'm an Anji main and Floor 10 is my bane. I can knowledge check everyone below that, but once I hit Floor 10 people know how to respond to my offense almost flawlessly. I'm still looking for ways to deal with it.
@@markclifton859 I'm stuck on F10 as well, I've gotten to the point where I just do things because I feel like it. I could be smart and respect my opponent's buttons OR I can call out them waiting for spin and just run up and grab.
Fun fact from an anji main, the fan toss follow up doesn’t have a hitbox until it touches the ground you can jump right through them 🥲
realllly???? wow, you're getting pinned
What did daisuke mean by this
NOOOO WAYYYYY

Been getting regularly bullied by my friend's Anji. This won't solve the problem but at least I'll feel smarter

remember if he Fujin you grab after the block
You can punish the fan throw with 5p or an air grab
this is true! it has no aerial hitbox so you can jump without fear
