Introduction

Mature is an interesting mix between a zoner and a close-range pressure character. Her main attraction is her big projectile; it's slow to come out, but it recovers fast and travels slow enough that Mature can either choose to go in behind it to set up offense, or wait for the opponent's response to it if she wants to be defensive. To complement this, she has a lot of moves that move her forward to help close the distance to the opponent. Her best tools up close are her good low hitconfirms and hop pressure to complement them. She's also got some good specials for dealing chip damage and ending her blockstrings safely. Her weaknesses include a lack of strong mixups outside of the aforementioned high-low, and a lack of a meterless invincible reversal.

Standing

  • f.C: Decent poking normal at midrange. Whiffs on tiny crouchers.

  • The C version is one of her main combo tools, as it has a lot of reach and can be used after her long light strings.

Deceaser: 41236B/D

  • Mature does a long-ranged pull by stretching her arm.
  • B version throws the opponent straight up in the air, allowing for juggles. D version throws them far behind Mature.

  • C version is a good combo ender due to its large corner carry.

Ebony Tears: 2363214A/C

Combos

General Notes

Meterless

Low

2B > 2Ax1-3 > 214Cx3
  • One of her main low starter BnBs that gives you a lot of hits to hitconfirm from.
2B > 5B > 214Px3
  • Another low starter BnB that is easier due to 5B's two hits, but not as damaging.

Mid/Jump-In

(j.X) > c.C > 214C/623C
  • Meterless BnB from a heavy button or jump-in.
(j.X) > 5B/2Ax2 > 214Cx3
  • Not as much damage as the previous combo, but it is a slightly easier hit confirm since you get an extra hit.

With Meter

Low

2B > 2Ax1-3 > 236236P
  • Metered ender for her main low BnB.
2B > 5B > 236236P
  • Metered ender for her other low BnB.

Mid/Jump-In

(j.X) > c.C/5B/2Ax2 > 236236P
  • Metered ender for her heavy/jump-in combo.
  • You can use 5B or two 2A instead of c.C for an easier but slightly less damaging confirm.

Dodge Cancel

(j.X) > 5B(1) > 6B(1) > AB > A/B/C/D > 2141236K
  • Requires dodge. Use this combo if you're already in max mode to combo into her corner carry super.
  • If you're using Advanced gauge, you can do this combo outside of max mode but it will cost you an additional bar for the dodge cancel.
  • You can do this combo without the jump-in as a low mix-up, since the 5B hits low.
2B > 2A > 6B(1) > AB > A/B/C/D > 236236P
  • Alternate dodge cancel combo from lows. Compared to the previous combo, it's easier to hit confirm (three hits before dodge instead of two), and also works from a slightly further range, but you don't get the corner carry.

With Quick MAX

(j.X) > c.C > 41236B > ABC > 2141236K
  • Quick MAX combo into her 41236B into DM. Can be input as 63214ABC.
2Bx2 > 2A > ABC > 236236AC
  • Allows you to go into SDM when in red health and not in max mode. Can be input as 2Bx2 > 2A > 236236ABC or 2B > 2B > 236 > 2A > 236ABC
(j.X) > 5B > 236236ABC
  • Allows you to go into SDM when in red health and not in max mode.

Dodge Cancel

(j.X) > 2A > ABC > 6B(1) > AB > A/B/C/D > 2141236K
  • Quick max combo into her corner carry super. Requires dodge. If you walk forward a little bit before doing the 6B, the combo will connect more consistently.
2Bx2 > ABC > 6B(1) > AB > A/B/C/D > 2141236K/236236P
  • Quick max low combo into her corner carry super. Requires dodge. If you walk forward a little bit before doing the 6B, the combo will connect more consistently.
  • You can end this combo with 236236P instead if you want more range, which may be useful if you're punishing a landing with 2B or you land a 2B during stagger pressure.
