Damn, thanks for the hard work on this. Hopefully he will get some buffs down the line and we'll all be eating well with these guides as the foundation. By far my worst match ups are characters that can immediately smother you with frame advantage like Chipp and Gio, and I definitely need to take to heart learning to rely on fuujin less like you suggested.
Much respect for posting these guides. Anji is the only character I vibe with in Strive and these videos make me look forward to maining him in the long-run. He's just tooo much fun to play as
Have been looking to drop Faust for Anji because not only is his character design is amazing and he has much potential ! Thank you for putting hard ass work into these guides!
Thanks so much for the videos this is super helpful!! One thing I found is you can use Dash Macro + any spin to get way more distance on your spins into kou, fuujin or just spin, even the parry animation goes farther because of the momentum you preserve. Nice for run into FD, run + S or K, or run spin ground games or getting punishes off parrying the tip of far slashes like nago or ram
They really have to buff fuujin so at least the initial fuujin is safe, this would create actual mind games against dp characters. Now all they have to do is dp and it functions as an os
Thank you so much. I'm new to GG and fighting games in general. I struggle with understanding neutral and goals in game. Combo guides never help bc who the hell is gonna let you walk up and hit your slow heavy slash to start a combo, etc etc. I thought about learning other characters but there are no good guides like this for them. I'd love to see more explainations on nuetral like things to look for after combos strings and examples on how to go in, like the mind set but more fleshed out! That would be great.
This video was really entertaining, I'm a scrub floor 10 Anji main so I look forward to the next video. Hopefully our boy gets a buff soon like having an actual 2H or multi hit butterfly oki
Amazing video dude! Helped me out a ton with my current Anji’s Celestial challenge. Btw, do you think Anji deserves a buff? I personally feel that he is one of the weaker character on the roster and a few buffs to maybe the start up of butterfly could help him a ton.
i would always get so heated when a leo would DP all my fuujin shenanigans and i would mash my head against a brick wall and keep doing fuujin cuz its "the anji move" thanks for the tips, ill go try em out.
Great guide man, I hit vip both months so far with Anji and im excited to try to learn more about him! I wanted to ask I noticed in your guide you show clips of you doing c.s 2s 5h in blockstrings, does this normally give you the ability to fuujin afterwards or will it push you back too much to allow it?
Dash momentum will allow it to fully chain. I'm working on a part 3 that goes over some combos with focus on combo theory to help better understand these situations.
Anji is a ok character and is not that hard to balance him to be good. Since Fuujin is the only offensive move that Anji has, it needs to be better. The low version needs to be completely safe, even close. Just safe. And the hop version could be invincible, like in the old game, to bait DP or mashing. The overhead and projectile followup are fine. The armor of the spinning move could be some frames faster too. Im tired of getting COUNTER on the startup when I got the right read =/
Good guide but please let me add some details. In my humble experience fans are pretty meh outside of the corner and your safest fuujin folow up is delayed low. A lot of people trying to jump, back dash, press buttons or fuzzy guard low/oh after a blocked fuujin. Especially in first one or two games out of three.
Hi, how do I play on an Anji vs Sol matchup where Sol's have huge frame advantage? It's a bit annoying how their gut punch almost always or does reach after blocking Nagiha. I'm finding it hard to approach 10th floor Sol, Gio and Nago matchups.
Went and played plus r , I miss the actual guard point mechanic and his normals like 3p, and the fuujin allowing the follow ups to whiff. I am baffled they removed his auto guard and the whiff followups
I must ask, was the ability to feint fujiin immediately into the followup added later? I haven't seen people talk about this at all, and I accidentally stumbled into it by pianoing the follow up too fast. I don't know what the implications of this means as I am a dumb baby smooth brain. But it made me do a monkey howl when I found out.
Is there a difference between normal and charged Kou on hit? It seems like the charged version knocks your opponent a bit higher, but I might be imagining that. Also, what do I do if I land a fully charged Fuujin? It doesn't happen a lot, but it seems like the only real option is K to close the gap.
Kou and uncharged Kou have slightly different properties, mostly in how they position you next to your opponent, but otherwise are similar in most cases.
You worked way too hard making this. Harder than Anji is working for us.
solid snake teaches you about anji for around 20 minutes: part 2
facts lol
Your contempt for your main sold me on him.
Using the Mizutsune theme was a brilliant choice! Thanks for the excellent guide, your work is amazing and appreciated.

Thank you so much for the video, you inspired me to play Anji. Really digging his playstyle and aesthetic.
Well worth the wait! Showing real match footage to illustrate your points was really helpful, great stuff!
Thanks for the section on how to observe the opponent's playstyle in particular. It's something I've been struggling with.
Maybe I'll start maining Anji because of you man, you make him so accessible and appealing to play! Thanks for the guide, can't wait for part 3 🙌🙌 !!
3:28 I see, your suggestion is we all become Goldlewis mains when he drops. I accept this wisdom.
Thank you for breaking it down like this. Definitely will help my gameplay.

another great guide, anji bros really stay winning

Yeah he could use some love.

yep I agree. Nagiha is only -7

Went and played plus r , I miss the actual guard point mechanic and his normals like 3p, and the fuujin allowing the follow ups to whiff. I am baffled they removed his auto guard and the whiff followups
3p, 214x, 6s I miss them
Thanks a lot, dude ,this video is a godsent (you are a godsent ;)
I must ask, was the ability to feint fujiin immediately into the followup added later? I haven't seen people talk about this at all, and I accidentally stumbled into it by pianoing the follow up too fast.
I don't know what the implications of this means as I am a dumb baby smooth brain. But it made me do a monkey howl when I found out.
I can even hold fuujin a tad to do the twirl into the followup. Neat
Yeah. Whiff canceling Fuujin was patched in later where you can do its followups before fuujin is active
Looking forward to pt3 u helping me whoop my friends
You really had to laugh when you said "SHITsu" lmao.
Yeah I have a 12 year old brain.
Nice

Oh shit you can hit close slash after charged Fuujin into K? Sheesh
@@Goosenip yeah you can. Fully Charged Fuujin launches whereas the others do not (unless the opponent is already airborne).
Kou and uncharged Kou have slightly different properties, mostly in how they position you next to your opponent, but otherwise are similar in most cases.
oh shit i was waitin on this one!
Do you have any theories they removed his actual signature auto guard
i subscribed
❤️
with a question if you have one
alright king i know its been 2 years since you dumped anji for bed..... but how is the fish dp
9:11 c.S is also plus on block
It's -2 as far as I know.
Quite despicable of acrsys to remove the full no shirt design of older games
still see his abs and I like his new outfit. I think it's aight.
you are speaking very fast
Can play at 0.75 speed if that's better.
Once again, thanks so much for spreading the Anji knowledge
