Gameplay Overview
Verse is a bulky zoner with a handbag of dastardly mixups from almost anywhere on the map. With 2 different height fireballs, a command grab that hit 3/4 across the screen, a sliding sweep that can reach even further, an anti-air that can easily combo into super or hard knockdown, and auto-guard on his st.D, he can keep his opponent at bay. He's got invincible reversal supers, a 2 hit cr.C, a command normal that jumps but can hit low, a teleport, a cross-up, 275 damage off of a cr.B and an overhead that combos into an OTG super.
This all comes at the expense of speed however, which is why Verse spends more time pelting the opponent where he stands then weaving in and out of combat. Or he can just grab them and and carry them to their doom. Whichever is most convenient.
Normals
Standing
- st. A: 25 damage. Basic jab. Kind of slow on startup for a jab, but decent range. May whiff on smaller characters. Barely negative on block.
- st. B: 30 damage. Verse kicks up and forward. Decent range, same height as far LP. More negative on block than far LP.
- st. C: 70 damage. Verse sends a powerful uppercut forward, sending the opponent up in the air. This move has a lot of start up and is very negative on block, but pushes you to half screen. Can be used as an anti-air, but better just saving it for combos. Special cancel-able and chains into cr.A, cr.B, and Star Crash.
- st. D: 80 damage. Verse performs a spinning kick from a massive distance. This move is barely negative on block, huge startup, but has autoguard until the active hitbox comes out.
Close
- cl. A: 25 damage. Quick little jab. 0 on block, but hitbox is lower than it appears.
- cl. B: 30 damage. Verse lifts a knee. Short range but fast. Maybe +1 on block.
- cl. C: 70 damage. Verse chops down at his opponent, yielding hard knockdown. While slow to hit and minus on block, this does hit overhead. Super cancel it for extra damage.
- cl. D: 78 damage. 2 hits, 40 damage each before scaling. Verse lifts a knee and kicks. 0 on block, quick startup. Nice button, cancellable on both hits.
Crouching
- cr. A: Stumpy punch used for your hit confirm. Fast and plus on block.
- cr. B: 30 damage. Nice range, quick, only like -1 on block. Hits low.
- cr. C: 100 damage. 2 hits, 30 on the first and 70 on the second. Good damage and decently safe on block. It pushes Verse back to halfscreen on block. Cancellable on both hits.
- cr. D: 80 damage. Verse's sweep. This move is plus on block at max range, minus at close range. Holding down back will make him slide significantly shorter, while holding down forward will make him slide significantly further.
Jumping
- j. A: 45 damage. Verse places both hands below and in front of him. Good jump away button, fast and nice range. This does 40 damage if hopped.
- j. B: 45 damage. Verse lifts a knee. Super short range, but ok hop button. This does 40 damage if hopped.
- j. C: 70 damage. Verse flexes both arms on either side of him. This button hits crossup if done with a full jump, but can be kind of slow and short ranged.
- j. D: 70 damage. Verse kicks his legs out. Nice horizontal range, but a little slow. Good for jumping in.
Blowback
- st. CD: 75 damage. Verse lunges his body forward, body checking the opponent. Huge range. The closer you are to your opponent on startup, the less safe this move is.
- j. CD: 90 damage. Verse gives a shoulder ram in the air. This move has stubby range and hits mid. It can be useful for air-to-air, or pressuring a blocking opponent.
