Amane Nishiki, on first glance, looks like a rather elegant character. Said elegance revolves round zoning his opponents and keeping the pressure on them, as Amane’s Drive, Spiral (珠波衣羅盧(スパイラル) Supairaru, Thin Silk Cloth Hut of Wave Sphere), is a great way to force the foe on the defensive, and his C and D normals give him great range. His C normals also can pull his opponents in, making his combos have a variety of gimmicks. Not only that, Amane, via his Drive at high levels, can easily deal a lot of chip damage to his opponent on block, and said chip damage potential can render barrier blocking nearly useless as it can drain barrier quickly. His normals also give great poking range, like his 6A being one of the series’ best anti-airs, and his Severing Flee (絶逃 Zettō) is a very strong mobility tool.

On the flipside, Amane is rather poor on the health total, and his combo damage overall is very low, making him work hard to deal damage on his foes. He also lacks meterless defensive options, and lacks good mixup options. His walking and running speed are also rather subpar, often relying on his range and Severing Flee for approach. Most of all, his zoning tools, like his C attacks, 6D and Blade Detached Sword (刃離剣 Hariken), are rather space dependent. What’s more, his Drive can overheat, which not only drops its level back to 1, but renders most of his moveset (especially Spiral-based moves) unusable, so managing his Drive levels are a bit of a necessity.

Amane’s Overdrive, Cyclone (砕躯龍(サイクロン) Saikuron, Smashing Dragon Body), causes his Spiral gauge to gain levels at a quicker rate and goes up automatically for the duration, as well as increasing the damage of his Drive moves.

As of the version 2.0, Amane’s Spiral gauge now drains less at Level 1 and 2, while draining faster at Level 3. Of course, overall, the gauge also increases higher in level past Level 1 when filling it up, which cause Drive-based moves to be less abusive at higher levels as they overheat faster.

In BlazBlue: Centralfiction, Amane’s health was increased from 10,000 to 10,500 (making him one of the few characters to receive an HP amount change), along with receiving a new special move called Silver Grace (銀雅 Ginga), which is a projectile that allows him to have better zoning up-close.


Command list[]

Basic moves[]

Input Damage Heat gain
A 300*2
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 5A) A standard jab where Amane slaps forward twice. Hits twice for a good hit confirm and can be chained into itself. Whiffs on crouching characters due to Amane’s stature during the attack.
Can only be chained into itself twice counting both hits.
Input Damage Heat gain
B 280*3
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 5B) Amane slaps his sash down on the foe.
Most versatile ground normal. Can create distance, covers a lot of space, chain into all C moves. It also does a notable amount of hits on its own, so it can work as its own hit-confirm into other attacks.
Input Damage Heat gain
C 780*2
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 5C) Flings a large charm attached to cloth via a spin to smack the foe from a distance and pull them in on the second hit. Cannot hit crouching opponents.
Useful to hit people jumping or airborne, but otherwise needs solid distance spacing in order for it to connect.
Input Damage Heat gain
2A 300
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 2A) Similar to the standing version, but crouching, and hits only once, while the second and third slaps need an extra input. Has the same uses and still hits mid.
Input Damage Heat gain
2B 540
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 2B) Turns and swings his sash downward to sweep the ground. Low attack, somewhat comparable to 5B in possible uses, but less efficient in multiple aspects. Use this if you need an extra normal in combos or in blockstrings.
Input Damage Heat gain
2C 720*2
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 2C) Similar to the standing version. Use it for ground control from a distance. Hits low, and must be landed from a certain distance or it will whiff.
Input Damage Heat gain
6A 600
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 6A) Turns and swings his sash backward into the air. Dedicated anti-air. You can chain it into 5B as a hit-confirm into 5C. Launches on counter hit, but be wary of its poor horizontal range.
Input Damage Heat gain
6B 800
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 6B) Leaps and turns in the air for a sash strike. Goes over low attacks but does not hit overhead.
Can blow up certain mashing attempts and be safe if fails or blocked, since Amane actually flies backward just after the sash strike. Can Fatal Counter, and during or after the recovery, air options are available.
Input Damage Heat gain
6C 980
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 6C) Flings a piece of cloth with a tied ribbon attached to it diagonally up into the air. Pulls opponent in on second hit and can land a Fatal Counter.
Cannot hit grounded opponents, or opponents too close to Amane.
Input Damage Heat gain
4C 700
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 4C) Shorter but faster version of 5C. Not good for neutral or pressure but extremely good for combo routes.
Input Damage Heat gain
1C 650
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 1C) Shorter but faster version of 2C. Only one low hit and does not force stand, but still pulls the opponent closer. 5B > 1C is a true combo and is also great for block strings.
Input Damage Heat gain
3C 800
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 3C) Poke-slides forward with his leg to the ground wrapped in a sash. Standard sweep for knockdown confirm. Excellent in pressure due to higher blockstun, and its range.
Be sure to hit with the tip or to use in combos, since like with all slides it is punishable unless hit with the ending-late-tipped-hit.
Input Damage Heat gain
A
(in the air)
300*2
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, j.A) Same as standing version. Helpful to adjust yourself during airborne combos and has the same amount of hit confirm prowess as the other version, but its horizontal nature makes it difficult to use during most jump-ins.
Input Damage Heat gain
B
(in the air)
280*3
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, j.B) Swing-kicks inward with his sash wrapped around it to whip it diagonally downward in midair. Very good air-to-ground. Offers the best balance of covering space versus ease of use, and does enough hits for a hit-confirm. However, some larger-hitbox normals may be able to out-prioritize it occasionally, since the sash is connected to Amane’s hurtbox.
Input Damage Heat gain
2B
(in the air)
700
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, j.2B) Causes two sashes to form a drill around his legs and dives straight down with them (and oddly uses the same non-mirrored sprite regardless of which direction Amane was facing before performing the attack). Can be used to beat rolls on knockdowns in corner; will cause ground bounce on hit. Also good for air-trajectory baiting.
Input Damage Heat gain
C
(in the air)
700*2
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, j.C) Shoots a large charm attached to long cloth, like with his other C normals, a distance forward, and pulls it back with the use of a small fishing rod. Pulls opponent in.
With the use of Severing Flee, this move does a good job at extending or starting pressure. Good harass with a few options and rewards afterwards, and requires solid spacing.
Input Damage Heat gain
6C
(in the air)
680*2
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, j.6C) Uses the ribbon in the shape of a flower-shaped swan attached to the long cloth, like with his other C moves, only he throws it forward and pulls it back with his leg via a tumbling through the air. Used mostly in combos as the rewards for using this at neutral are pretty low since you can hardly hit-confirm into anything but Cage Force.
Input Damage Heat gain
4C
or 2C
(in the air)
700
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, j.4C) Similar to his j.6C, but aims downward and pulls upward instead, and has the charm shaped like a shellfish. Mainly used for jump-ins.

A 300*2
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 5A) A standard jab where Amane slaps forward twice. Hits twice for a good hit confirm and can be chained into itself. Whiffs on crouching characters due to Amane’s stature during the attack.
Can only be chained into itself twice counting both hits.
Input Damage Heat gain
B 200*3

Input Damage Heat gain
C 585, 315
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 5C) Flings a large charm attached to cloth via a spin to smack the foe from a distance and pull them in on the second hit. Cannot hit crouching opponents.
Useful to hit people jumping or airborne, but otherwise needs solid distance spacing in order for it to connect.
Input Damage Heat gain
2A 300
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 2A) Same as the standing version, only crouching. Has the same uses and still hits mid.
Starting from version 1.10, hits only once, and the second slap needs an extra input.
Input Damage Heat gain
2B 450
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 2B) Turns and swings his sash downward to sweep the ground. Low attack, somewhat comparable to 5B in possible uses, but less efficient in multiple aspects. Use this if you need an extra normal in combos or in blockstrings.
Input Damage Heat gain
2C 520, 280
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 2C) Similar to the standing version. Use it for ground control from a distance. Hits low, and must be landed from a certain distance or it will whiff.
Input Damage Heat gain
6A 500
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 6A) Turns and swings his sash backward into the air. Dedicated anti-air. You can chain it into 5B as a hit-confirm into 5C. Launches on counter hit, but be wary of its poor horizontal range.

Throws[]

Input Damage Heat gain
BC 0, 1500

Crush Trigger[]

Input Damage Heat gain
AB 1000
Amane Nishiki (Sprite, Crush Trigger) Kicks upward high while accompanied by a sash pull. Launches on midair hit. Mostly used in combos since you do not get a big combo reward for hitting a guard crushed standing opponent. Furthermore, it does not look like it has horizontal reach when all your other normals generate a lot of pushblock.

Amane Nishiki (Sprite, Exceed Accel) Amane grabs the opponent via thrusting his arm forward with two sashes forming a vortex. Upon connecting, he then hits them upwards with his 6A, grabs them with a ribbon (via 6C). The ribbon then forms into a kite, which he uses to swat the opponent into the ground via side-swap.
The Active Flow version instead makes use of a much-larger kite shaped in five-directions, and also causes a flower-flash of energy to emit on the final blow.

Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 214C) New move in Centralfiction, where Amane rears back to form a gunbai fan out of his cloth, which he then two-hand-swats along the ground to fire a small whirlwind forward. The whirlwind acts as a short-ranged projectile that launches opponents on hit and hits OTG.
While it works for combos, the main usage is mainly to cover dead-zones where Amane’s prior zoning tools (such as Hariken and his C normals) cannot cover, and also allows him to play a better disjointed game at those specific ranges. However, the startup can easily cause Amane to be punished up-close if used recklessly.

Amane Nishiki (Sprite, 236236D) Amane’s cloth will form the shape of what appears to be a fanged mouth (with his leg wrapped in a sash drill sticking out of it), and Amane will charge forward with the attack.

In Overdrive, more petal explosions occur to launch the opponent higher as it does more hits.
Cannot use if Spiral gauge is overheated.
Amane’s only invincible reversal to be used with caution, as it can be easily blocked. Outside of the corner, it will normally switch sides.
