Chain Knuckle

236A

Taking the action to the opponent

• [20-28F Startup / 8F Active / 25-32F Recovery / -1* On Block]

• The 8 active frames are the fist travelling over 8 frames, so startup for max range is 28F

• 1 extra frame of recovery per frame of travel the fist has taken

• Decent frametrap up close from sweep

• *Only -1 at minimum range, worse by 1 frame for each frame of travel

• 36F recovery on whiff

Applies to all versions

• Counts as a strike by Labrys, and conducts electricity (Kanji DP will hit Labrys if she uses this on him)

• Can be swept under due to being chest attribute

• Fatal counters, and if confirmed, can go into relatively high damage from anywhere on the screen at any axe level

• Activate frames and fist extension ends if contacts opponent

• See follow ups for options on block/hit

• Does not destroy projectiles, simply ignores them

236B

Nowhere to run (apart from rolling, jumping, or being full screen...)

• [24-43F Startup / 19F Active / 25-37F Recovery / -1* On Block]

• Faster than dashing full screen, and can be used to punish opponents who try to run away carelessly or have moves that take them full screen

• However, goes slightly shy of full screen, so must dash first in some situations

• Will punish those using projectiles near full screen (e.g Yu's IABD zio, Aigis 2B)

• Clashes relatively often due to way the hitbox works (hitbox is only the fist, hurtbox remains with Labrys, extended forward slightly for the front leg)

• If an opponent jumps this, they have over 70 frames to punish you, so don't go throwing this out without a plan

• *Only -1 at minimum range, worse by 1 frame for each frame of travel

Applies to all versions

• Counts as a strike by Labrys, and conducts electricity (Kanji DP will hit Labrys if she uses this on him)

• Can be swept under due to being chest attribute

• Fatal counters, and if confirmed, can go into relatively high damage from anywhere on the screen at any axe level

• Activate frames and fist extension ends if contacts opponent

236AB

Your projectiles cannot harm me, my fist is like a shield of steel!

• [24-32F Startup / 8F Active / 25-32F Recovery / -1* On Block]

• Projectile invuln from frame 9 until end of active frames

• The range and startup of 236B, but travels much faster

• If you correctly call out a projectile move with this, you are almost guaranteed a fatal counter unless it gets blocked by a persona

• Usually can't be used vs projectile supers after superflash, or if you're late with the reaction to some projectiles

• 41F recovery on whiff
