Introduction

Schröder is back, and this time he's Cyber. At its simplest, Shredder is THE rushdown Boxer (Balrog) of this game. He’s a very solid high-tier character who excels at offense. In Tournament Fighters, most characters can either stun good or do big damage. Shredder does both easily. He has devastating strings, fantastic air normals, prioritized ground normals, and great combo potential. What he lacks in defense, he makes up for in… countering defense. Being a character with basically three ways around fireballs (Aura Crusher, timed Knee Crush, and Reflector), he’s almost impossible to zone properly. This nets him even more opportunities to get in, harass, and make the opponent wish they picked Shredder too. Being a strong character and not a “broken” one, he isn’t without his weaknesses. His ground normals are fairly stubby, and none are your orthodox anti-airs. He has no truly invincible reversals, which can lead to some extremely unfair situations when he’s disadvantaged. And because he’s a part of the “Three Stooges” with Aska and Armaggon, meaning that he’s vulnerable to character-specific crouch unblockables that affect no other legal character. Although commonly regarded as an “easy” character, decent knowledge about how and when to use his powerful buttons, Aura Crusher, and reflector are detrimental in order to give people trouble. He can be very annoying as a read-based character and is arguably at his strongest when played as such. Because of his accessible play style and relatively low skill level, Shredder is one of the healthiest characters in the game, and he’s very prevalent in the meta. If you don’t main him, he’ll definitely make for a strong pocket character. Also, heh, being a part of the Stooges means he has the ability to be airborne frame one upon jumping. Use this to your advantage!

Standing Normals

Standing Light Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 96 Fast light normal. Rarely used by shredder players but can be used as an anti air sometimes. This normal is also rarely used in combos.

Standing Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 64 - This normal has a decent speed, is great in combos and can stop certain moves when spaced out properly( Chrome Dome's crouching hp/ crouching hk.) This normal is also a good tool for whiff punishing if you want to use lights instead of heavy buttons for less risk.

Standing Heavy Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 256 - One of shredders best normals. Slow startup but has high potential when used properly. Has far reach and is one of the go-to moves for whiff punishing. Be careful when putting this move out. This move is great at nabbing whiff punishes but is slow on startup, which can get you whiff punished.

Close Heavy Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 256 One of shredder go-to combo starters from a jump in. Has slow startup, being a heavy move, but leads to heavy combo damage.

Standing Heavy Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 256 - Slow on startup but can lead to a bit of damage. This normal is good for whiff punishing, but is rarely used in combos. Use this normal safely, as you can get whiff punished for using this normal incorrectly.

Close Heavy Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery (whiff) Recovery (hit) Hitstun Advantage on Hit Cancelable? 256 Very slow on startup and is rarely used in combos. There are better normals to use other than this one, but it is still an ok normal.
