Character Profile

Genzou Takane, a famous swordsmith during Japan's Bakumatsu era, retired to a quiet town away from the world, along with his young daughter Hibiki, to continue his mastery in peace. One day, however, an evil, silver-haired man came by, and asked for Genzou to craft him a sword. Unable to refuse his evil powers, he crafted a sword for the man in eighty days, after which he fell gravely ill. Genzo faulted the man for strickening him to die, and told Hibiki to find the man and the sword with his dying breath. Confused, Hibiki packed her things and left home, searching for the man who ultimately killed her father.

Although she doesn't look it, Hibiki is hell-bent on killing everything in her way to find the man responsible for her father's death. In the game, everything she says refers to "killing you" and "you dying." Even with all the threats to kill, she still thinks about her father and is very humble about herself.

Character Stratagies

Hibiki is easily one of the top SNK characters in the game. She's got quick moves that have enormous range, lots of great anti-air options, a super-cancellable overhead and mid/high counter, and a dodge, just to name the basics. You'll generally see Hibiki in running grooves, like N or K, and they will mix up her running slash with a run to pressure you into blocking, even from mid-screen distance and farther.

Hibiki has a lot going for her, but her weaknesses balance her out. She's pretty weak, with 60 stun and below-average vitality. More than that, though, is that all of her quick distance moves have enormous recovery times, so that if they are anticpated, they can be severely punished. In fact, a few characters can punish a distance slash even if they get hit by it.

Computer AI Routine

An AI Hibiki is extremely predictable. You can almost set your watch to when she distance slashes. When you feel when one is coming, roll through it or parry/JD. Her running slashes are a little more confusing and less avoidable, but still a little forseeable. Block them and punish on the other side. Her standard super will sometimes catch you offguard (and unfairly), especially when you jump, so be advised not to be jump-happy against a CPU Hibiki, which is good advice for a human opponent as well.

Special Intros

Rolento - Hibiki is squatting down in the middle of the screen, tying her shoe. Rolento comes jumping in from the air, and throws a knife at Hibiki. She swipes it away with her sword as they both jump into position. Hibiki then says, "I'll kill you," just like she does to everyone else.
