SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy/Zarina

Gameplay Overview

Notable normal: Far H - Zarina’s Far H is pretty nice. It has a nice angle and is pretty quick. You can also follow it up easily on grounded or airborne opponents. Probably her best general poking tool.

Special Moves

5S - Growing Flower

• Zarina spins on her hands, doing a series of 4 kicks, with the 4th one popping the opponent up into the air. This can be done twice in a standard combo, with the second one only letting you hit 3 of the 4 hits. 80 damage. SP cost: 1 bar.

Without Spirit:

EX Item:

• The EX Growing Flower is faster on startup and recovery, and does more damage. It also sends the opponent into the wall to crumple. Like the regular version, though, it can only be done twice in a standard combo, with three of the four hits connecting. 90 damage if all 4 hits connect.

2S - Spinning Petal

• A three-hit anti-air kick. While it can only hit once in a combo, Zarina can actually follow up on this fairly easily, whether she’s in midscreen or the corner. A Dash Attack after will open up more combo opportunities. 70 damage. SP cost: 1 bar.

Without Spirit:

EX Item:

• The EX version of this hits 5 times instead of 3, giving increased damage. The follow ups you can do with it are generally the same, though, since despite the move knocking them a bit higher, they fall faster. You’ve got some solid startup invincibility on this one. 90 damage.

6S - Floral Screw

• A two-hit lunging, spinning kick. Pushing the obvious out of the way, this move will take you over low angled moves and low projectiles, like Terry’s Power Wave. The recovery on it is poor, though, not letting you follow up normally afterward, and leaving you open if it’s blocked. Be careful. 80 damage. SP cost: 1 bar.

Without Spirit:

EX Item:

• The EX Floral Screw wallbounces your opponent if the second hit of it connects. The recovery of this one’s also faster, giving you room to do more with it in regards to follow ups. 80 damage like the original, though.

4S - Peduncle Pruning

• Zarina vaults up and toward her opponent. If they’re still standing, they get grabbed and kicked aside. If they even THINK about jumping, though, you’ll miss the move, and it takes Zarina a full second after landing to recover. In an odd twist, if you’re juggling the opponent, you can combo into this. You can also combo into this from a Far H if the distance is right. 100 damage. SP cost: 1 bar.

Without Spirit:

EX Item:

• This one’s got faster startup than the standard version, and if it catches, it’ll even wallbounce. You also have very brief invul frames on startup -- just enough to disrespect something during the first few frames. The tradeoff for the added utility, though, is less damage. 80 damage.

Dream Finish

5D

Yellow Eruption 5D	Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost 350 - - - HKD - - - 4 Zarina brings her arm up, a burst of yellow, flower shaped energy firing upward, accompanied by fluttering Toucans. Cute~ This reaches up fairly high, and since it’s a single hit, there isn’t massive concern about scaling.

2D

Hurricane Dance 2D	Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost 350 - - - HKD - - - 4 Zarina flips in and hits with a series of 4 kicks. Not a whole lot to say about this one. It’s easy to follow up on a juggle with this, but it leaves you really open if it’s blocked, so use it only if you know you can hit it. This is Zarina’s invul on startup super.

Combos

IAD = Instant Air Dash

cl. = Close (i.e, doing a Light or Heavy normal right next to the opponent)

far. = Far (i.e, doing a Light or Heavy farther away from the opponent)

xx = Means you cancel into the next move immediately (i.e, 2S xx 5D)

~ = Means you press the next command immediately after (i.e, cl.H~2D)

jc. = Jump Cancel

dj. = Double Jump

walk() = This means you walk in the direction in the ()'s create the distance needed for the next move. So walk(4) means walk back, walk(6) means to walk forward.

dash = This means to dash to close distance.
