Koihime Enbu - Simple Character Notes

Just search for the character/assist you want. I would like to add links but the site has been fussy and I can't figure it out.

Notes: Things labeled as invincible means, almost universally, on startup only. It is intended to be used as a reversal option. Also, despite how some of them look, all 6Bs are invincible to lows and are labeled as such. Anything in brackets [5C] means it needs to be held.

As always, if anything needs to be added/removed/corrected, please let me know and I shall amend it.

Updated: December 8, 2016-Revised a lot of text. Added and removed things where necessary. Added Assist section. Cleaned up the formatting a bit.
