Standing
*  / / are cancel-able and whiff cancel-able.

Crouching
* is a low jab. This can chain to itself for 2 hits.
* is a low kick that can link to + . This move has range and hits low.
* is a weird move in which Ai falls on her butt while a huge explosion flashes in front of her. Nothing is guaranteed from this move.
* is her Hyper Tackle (see command moves)

Jumping
*  / / is a silly jumping punch that looks a striking pose.
*  / / is a "butt attack" that's similar in looks to minus the explosion. The hitbox is small.
*  / / is a move similar to Kyo's / / + move in terms of animation. Ai does a double fist attack in the air that has an energy blast to it. This move is good for applying pressure.

Throw
Top Hunting Throw: / +
*Can be broken. Normal knockdown.


Command Moves

* Ai crouches and drops a robotic arm in front of her. This move can be canceled into a special, and is apart of her standard bread-n-butter combo ( , + , + ,    + ).

Whirlwind Fist: / +
* Ai does a spinning lariat that can be controlled by holding back or forward. This move can help in terms of getting space to bait a move, or to simply stay at a safe distance to avoid a possible GCFS.

Hyper Tackle: / / +
* Ai does a running tackle. This move can be canceled into a special or super move. It's not a safe move to use on its own, as most times the move is canceled with qcb + C, or qcf + B/D. Pressing  or while attempting to combo the move will result in the tackle to hit, but not the move it was canceled into. For best results, use the + for doing combos on 1p side, or + for combos on 2p side.

Moon-Sault: + + ~ ~ /
* Ai does the same move as Fire Spinning Top, except it doesn't do fire damage, and does not knock down.

Alter Ego: + /
* Ai does a pose while a doppelganger image dashes in front of her. Using keeps Ai in place, while the image moves. She can still attack while the image moves. Using teleports Ai forward, and/or to the other side of the opponent.

A/D Assault
ASO2 Last Guardian: + (When partner is Yuki and within 10 counts after Lightning Ball)
* Ai summons a massive gun and shoots the opponent into the air towards a ship that appears in the sky. While Ai hides behind a shield, a target scope appears shooting tons of lighting towards the opponent.

She also has a few setups that're really left/right confusion. These have to be timed properly in order to actually confuse the enemy, though. Always time the teleport at the same time, even if you move / don't move.

| -> Take a step back, 236D. This'll land you right in front of them.

| -> Don't move, 236D. This'll go right through them.

Does Joy Joy Balloon have some kind of hidden timer or limit on it? She tends to automatically hop off as soon as I enter at times.
