Corrected Guts input claim

A newer creator description retracts the explanation that a Guts front-dash uppercut variant is triggered by holding backward during the front dash. The public text does not expose a complete replacement input, so this guide does not assign that variant to a fixed direction or key.

Keep these two claims separate:

  • Recorded: the Full Showcase and character tutorials contain visible backward and air variants for named Guts moves.
  • Unverified: the exact current trigger for the front-dash uppercut variant.

Use the Guts guide for the full correction record. Do not replace the retracted input with a guessed run-dash sequence.

Strikeborn FULL SHOWCASE (Including all variants)

Vessel Sorcerer, Black Swordsman, Wild Hunter, variants and ultimates

Watch on YouTube ↗

The video’s own chapters start Vessel Sorcerer at 00:00, its ultimate at 01:48, Black Swordsman at 02:52, its ultimate at 04:15, and Wild Hunter at 04:51. Times in the table are approximate five-second observation windows.

What a variant record means

How to identify a variant

  1. Record the neutral move

    Keep distance and target state fixed so the ordinary animation is clear.

  2. Change one condition

    Test backward direction, side-dash state, and airborne state separately.

  3. Compare visible output

    Look for a changed animation, movement path, target result, or on-screen label.

  4. Repeat it

    Do not publish a branch from one ambiguous attempt; record successes and failures.

  5. Date the build

    Mark the record Needs Retest after an update or a conflicting current result.

Variant and ultimate questions

What is a Strikeborn air variant?

A visibly changed version used while airborne in the recorded footage. The exact activation input still needs a current device capture.

What is a backward variant?

A changed move branch shown with a backward directional condition, such as the recorded Guts move-four route.

Does every move have a variant?

No complete variant list is established. The table only marks branches visible in the checked showcase.

Is King of Curses a separate character?

The checked showcase presents it as a Vessel Sorcerer alternate-form segment. Current selection and activation details are not verified.

Is Berserker the Guts ultimate?

The showcase presents a Berserker segment after Black Swordsman footage. Meter, duration, and current completeness are not established.
