Fahkumram Tips and Tricks
As we wrap up, here are some additional tips and tricks to maximize your time with Fahkumram. These suggestions will help you turn his shortcomings into advantages, making him a frustrating challenge for your opponents.
First, although many characters have a reliable d/f 1 poke option, Fahkumram’s version is slower to start at 15 frames. This makes it less effective as a poking move.
Instead, his standing 3 is a solid 13-frame kick that’s unpunishable on block and offers decent range, making it an ideal choice for poking and pressuring your opponent.
Lucky for players, Fahkumram has other creative strategies that mitigate these concerns. One example is his Aiyara Combination: High (d/f 1, 4), which can be utilized for whiff punishment. The second hit acts as a Heat Engager, providing an opportunity to bait your opponent into a reaction that you can capitalize on for significant damage.
With these tactics and more at your disposal, it’s clear that Fahkumram can become a formidable opponent once he gets into a rhythm, forcing his foes into mistakes while utilizing his exceptional parrying and Garuda Force abilities. Clearly, he remains a powerful force in the game!
