Style:
Rushdown
Difficulty:
Intermediate
Summary:
Crazy amounts of jump and crush options including evasive RE and CE cancels. Short range and vulnerability to GI can make it difficult for her to establish offense.
Description:
As is fitting of the young wind priestess, Talim jumps and moves around a lot to put the enemy in a constant attack blender. She can cancel both her CE and RE into her three main stances, allowing her to create mix-ups out of unique situations. She also features many multi-hitting strings and attacks that transition into her stances, lending to her barrage of fast, short-range attacks. Ideally she gets in and does not let her opponent get a word in, crushing punishes with stance transitions or counter-hitting them with frame traps. She struggles in getting into her ideal range safely, and can also suffer against opponents who correctly respond to stance transitions and limit her mix-up game.
Strengths:
- stance transitions excellent at beating enemy punishes and attacks
- strong evasion with tech crouch and step
- strong counter-hit potential
Weaknesses:
- limited range and approach moves
- many attacks are prone to GI (and trigger a level 3 GI)
- poor block and whiff punishment
Unique mechanic:
Talim is the only character that cancel out of her Critical Edge: on hit the animation starts immediately, but on block there are three hits, and the third cancels into stance. She can also cancel out of her Reversal Edge parry into stances.
