Command Normals
LP “Hirate Uchi”
- Invincible at start up!
Jump 
HK “Genei Shiranui”
- changes the arc of Andy’s jump
- Does not work with hop
Notes: This bizarre move has Andy seemingly roll up even more into a ball and… do nothing. But in fact it changes the arc of Andy’s jump so that he stops advancing in the air. This is used to bait anti airs. For example at mid screen, if Robert throws a fireball and Andy jumps towards him, Robert can dp Andy as he falls. However, if Andy executes his Genei Shiranui, his jumping arc will fall short and Robert will dp into thin air.
The only problem with this move is the audio cue and the fact that Andy needs to do this move quite early to change his path – if the opponent hears this, it’s rendered useless. The move is certainly as vulnerable as any jump. Probably best used online with opponents who anticipate rather than react!

Strategy
After many iterations, Andy feels lighter, zippier, a lean ninjitsu machine. He’s very strong.
His crouching LK is one of the reasons he’s so top. You can hit mash 3 crouching hits and by this time anyone should be able to confirm into a special or max mode.
Like most zoners, Andy can throw projectiles all day and has similar back and front blocking traps, like Athena, and he uses his Zen-ei Ken elbow to keep the opponent pinned down. Follow up fireballs with far HP before moving in with hop HK.
- Use EX hishoken with elbow to mix up in front or behind
- Crouch LK for easy confirms into elbow
- Climax has 3f startup. If Hishoken hits, Climax will too.
Watch ET use Andy and then head to the tutorial
