A counter-hit combo for Baiken; the one-eyed, one-armed, female Kenshin, though apparently inspired by Tange Sazen.
The reason for the counter-hit is more for showing off more of her abilities in one combo rather than it being necessary for this combo. Counter hits involving her aerial Tatami Gaeshi (It's essentially just a flipped floor mat -- you know, those Japanese style floor planks.) results in the opponent wall bouncing from any distance and not being able to recover. The regular version however can be recovered after a short while and will only knock them into the wall if they're quite close to it.
The inability to tech allows me to link into Baiken's Kabari, a chain with a claw at the end of it which pulls opponents closer to you, while also allowing you to perform her Tetsuzansen which are those two vertical slashes.
Other than that however, this combo more or less showcases almost the entire content of Baiken's BnB, which is generally just j.p/j.s into j.d. Her j.d is very nice as it takes away the player's ability to tech the fall which is great for setups. You'll also notice that the move is able to be FRCed which is something you can do to extend the damage of it, specifically mid-screen where you can't follow up with the dash into j.s, j.d.
Overall, I quite like Baiken. She makes me debate my choice in main character as I do love her offensive defensive style. A lot of her abilities can only be performed while blocking and she even has a command dash that blocks. (I'll attempt to show those off somehow in a GIF) I love that form of play so I may consider making her my main. God knows parrying is all I'm good at in games.
