Hisui

Hisui

Tsukihime


Hisui is one of the five heroines of Tsukihime. She's the younger of the two twin maids in the Tohno Mansion, with her name being the Japanese word for 'jade'. Unlike Kohaku, Hisui is rather quiet and always speaks formally, making Shiki, her master, see her as mechanical. While she lacks her sister's fighting skills, she can still hold her own with her cleaning utensils and pieces of furniture.

Gameplay Tips

  • The second part of Hisui's jab can be cancelled into any of her three Tilts, her Strong Attacks, or any special that isn't Down Special.
  • Hisui's Up Tilt's first part can be cancelled into Dash Attack or Side Strong. Its second part is jump cancellable, allowing her to perform aerial followups.
  • Hisui's Down Tilt can be cancelled on hit into Dash Attack or Side EX. Where did she get that chair from?
  • Hisui's Side Strong has a very small chance of Hisui being particularly ticked off by her opponent, causing her pan to hit harder.
  • Hisui's Up Strong changes which household utensil she uses to attack based on the charge of the move. Higher charge means higher ranged utensil!
  • Hisui's Neutral Air can be cancelled into either Side Special/EX, allowing for high damage metered combo routes. Try practicing them!
  • Hisui's Neutral Special randomly chooses between household objects to throw at the opponent, however you can hold a direction before she throws it to select a specific one.
  • Although it may not look like it, each of Hisui's Neutral Special household objects fulfill a specific role. There's a method to her madness, promise.
  • Hisui's Neutral EX combines all possible household objects she can normally pick from, into one unpredictable throw to cover space. This is dangerous.
  • Hisui's Side Special and Side EX are common combo enders to add on damage onto her aggression. Her ladle is solid.
  • Hisui's Up Special has mediocre recovery; however, her Up EX reaches higher, and has her slam the book down on whoever she hits with the initial book swing, spiking them.
  • Hisui's Down Special lays down a picnic mat with a bento on it, exploding on contact. The Down EX lays down a BIG mat, and it poisons on hit. She's trying her best.
  • Hisui's Down Throw buries the opponent on the ground, allowing for combo extensions. Please excuse her as she cleans. Patapata.

Trivia

  • This isn't really a protip, but Hisui's Up Throw headbutt looks particularly hard-hitting. How does she continue her work after one of those...?
