Normals

Close

• cl. A/B/C/D are cancel-able.
• Close B does two hits making it very easy to hit-confirm into command moves or special attacks.
• Close D does two hits making it very easy to hit-confirm into command moves or special attacks.

Standing

• Stand A is cancel-able/whiff cancel-able.
• Stand B does two hits and is only cancel-able while doing the move in Max Mode (B+C).
• Stand C does two hits and moves Mature forward. Both parts can be canceled with a move.
• Stand D deceiving looks like Iori's cr. D but does not hit low.

Crouching

• cr. A/C/D are cancel-able/whiff cancel-able.
• cr. A/B are chain-able, but cr. A is faster and cr. B cannot be canceled into anything other than normals.
• cr. B can only be blocked low.
• cr. C is a moderately good anti-air if used early enough, it can canceled but only before her arm extends into the air

Jumping

• j. B does two hits and allows for a combo if desired. This move can be used for a cross-up if done with a hyper hop at the right distance, however, it will not combo into anything.

(more to be updated)

Blowback Attack

(to be updated)

Throw

Death Blow - (b/f + C) close

• Can be broken, regular knockdown.

Backlash - (b/f + D) close

• Can be broken, reverse knockdown. This throw leaves the opponent close allowing for better mixups.

Command Moves

• Mature has no command moves.

Special Moves

Note: some special moves have alternate names.

Despair - (qcf + A/C)

• Mature does a reverse dive while slashing. qcf + A has a short arc and can be easily comboed into. qcf + C has a high arc. Both moves can be used as an anti-air if timed right. Can be free-canceled from another move and also into another Despair in the air, but does not combo.

Sacrilige = (dp + A/C)

• Mature does an upward spinning attack with her hands doing multiple hits. The weak version does 6 hits while the strong version which starts up alittle slower does 8 hits and travels the farthest. Can be free-canceled.

• Knocks the opponent into the air with her if not blocked

• Can be super cancelled in max mode

Death Row (Death Downer) = (qcb + A/C) can be done 3 times

• Mature does a series of slice moves with her hand. This is the move used in most of her combos, and it also helps build meter more than her other moves. Can be free-canceled from and to another move.

• Both versions connects from weak attacks

Metal Massacre - (qcb + B/D)

• Mature dashes forward and does a horizontal slash. The button pressed determines the distance dashed before slashing. The slash does 3 hits.

• Can be super cancelled in max mode.

Ebony Tears - (qcf~hcb + A/C)

• Crescent moon projectile. Both moves have a rather slow startup, C is rather slower, however the A projectile travels slower, but allows for recovery. This move allows Mature to zone, and sometimes setup for her Despair move to be used. Ebony Tears has a rather large vertical hitbox, so it can be hard to jump over.

Deceaser (Decide) - (hcf + B/D)

• Mature swings her arm out with a shadow-like effect and hits the opponent. If not blocked, the move will grab the opponent. The only combo potential it has is in Max Mode.

• B version drags the opponent right next to you, can be cancelled into other moves if successful

Desperation Moves

Nocturnal Lights - (qcf x 2 + A/C)

• Mature does a series of strong attacks. The first move comes out pretty fast, and if the move connects, Mature does a knockdown move at the end of the attack. This can easily be comboed from light attacks and can be used to punish whiffed attacks if in range.

• Does the first few hits, if it connects the rest will come out

Heaven's Gate - (qcb~hcf + B/D)

• Mature dashes towards the opponent at grabs them in the corner. Her B version travels about 75% of the screen, and her D version travels fullscreen. This move causes knockdown, but if blocked is very punishable.

• Does not connect from weak attacks

• Catches airborne opponents

• Has some invincibility while dashing

Super Desperation Moves

Nocturnal Lights - (qcf x 2 + AC)

• This SDM is the same has the regular Noctural Lights, but does more damage.

• Catches airborne opponents

• Has some invincibility while dashing
