Movelist

Normals

Close

• cl. A is chain-able to all A and B ground normals, plus on block
• cl. B hits low, chain-able to all A and B ground normals, if done as a meaty, can link into cl.C
• cl. C is a 2 hit normal, hits above her head. 1st hit is cancel-able into specials, supers, command normals. 2nd hit is cancel-able into specials and supers. Can also link into f.A or f.B. Good combo starter
• cl. D is an axe kick, hitbox starts above head, good for stopping jumps when used as a frame trap. 1st hit can cancel into BC mode or AAfBC super. 2nd hit is special, super, command normal cancel-able

Stand

• St. A is quick jab, good vs short hop pressure
• St. B is a great poking normal, maybe her best one. Can cancel into specials, supers, command normals but doesn’t combo into anything though.
• St. C is a spinning back fist. Good range but very slow. 1st or 2nd hit can cancel into specials, supers, commaad normals
• St. D is a pretty slow Sobat kick that has lower body invincibility. It's possible to combo into AAfBC if opponent is in corner

Crouch

• Crouch A can cancel into special, supers and command normals
• Crouch B is fast, low, chains into itself. One of her best normals. Chain-able into all grounded A or B normals
• Crouch C is a fast shoulder tackle that has great range, is good combo starter and lowers her crouching hurtbox. It can combo into command normals, specials and supers
• Crouch D is a standard sweep, hits low and can whiff cancel into AAfBC super and is good for low profiling people hopping towards you

Jump

• Jump A is a quick punch, hits pretty low (not as low as j.d)
• Jump B is a jumping knee that hits in-front of her
• Jump C is a great jump-in starter. Best air normal.
• Neutral Jump C/D is a good air-to-air (nj.c hits higher and has a way better hitbox)
• Jump D is good for jump-ins, only real cross up option.

Desperation Moves
