* '''Unchained System''': Angel's gameplan is centered around her "Unchained System", which comprises her specials. Angel has three sets of specials: Unchain Starts, which begin the chain, Unchain Circle, which continue the chain, and Unchain Finish, which end the chain. Each one of these categories has at least ''six different variations'', allowing Angel unprecedented approach, pressure, and combo opportunities.
* '''Extremely Anti-Projectile''': There are at least 5 moves in Ángel’s arsenal that have some form of projectile invulnerability, and many of these are forward-advancing attacks. In addition to this, she has access to EX Red Sky for only half a bar, a lightning-fast slide that does good damage, is projectile invulnerable, grants a safejump on hit and can hit from about half-screen distance. This move alone makes projectile zoning a complete non-issue (and even an opportunity) to Ángel, let alone the fact she has several other options to choose from on top of standard KOF anti-zoning.
* '''Flexibility''': Angel has a huge number of tools to help her out in battle. Several Unchain Starts help her contest neutral or defend against her opponents approach, which lets her adapt to her opponents gameplan easily.
* '''Brutal Oki''': Ángel’s combos almost always grant the opportunity to safejump after the combo ender. If it’s not a safejump, it’s a setup that allows her to hit an unblockable punch on the opponent as soon as they wakeup. If it’s not that, it’s guard breaking with 214AC. Or it’s a left/right mix. Sometimes the left/right mix is also a safejump regardless of the direction she chooses. Ángel’s offense is very difficult to stop once it gets started.
* '''Massive Damage''': Outstanding meterless damage. Achieving upwards of 40% damage without burning meter is not out of the question.
* '''Flexibility''': Ángel has a huge number of tools to help her out in battle. Several Unchain Starts help her contest neutral or defend against her opponents approach, which lets her adapt to her opponents gameplan easily. An Ángel player with solid reflexes and sharp reads can readily react to any situation with the right move.
* '''Massive Damage At A Low Cost''': Outstanding meterless damage. Achieving upwards of 40% damage without burning meter is not out of the question.
* '''Terrifying Mixups''': Angel's left/right game is absurd with her j.C, which crosses up incredibly well. Her high damage allows her to two-touch most characters and vortex them back into the mixup all over again. She has everything a pressure character could want, including command grabs, frame traps, and even an honest-to-god unblockable for catching the hardest of turtles.

*Only way to launch the opponent after this is with uc.6A(1)~66A. Must be right next to opponent for this to work.<br>
*Anything involving 2A will result in a fairly low damage combo unless you spend half a bar on 46BD. Try and use Close B instead of 2A whenever possible.
*Followups are limited without meter or corner.<br>

'''2B c.B 46D'''<br>
'''2B > c.B > 46D'''<br>
*46D keeps the opponent closer after launch, allowing more followups using 46D again to juggle.<br>

*46D does not combo from 2A.<br>

'''2B > c.B > 214A'''<br>
'''2B c.B 214A'''<br>
*If Close B is blocked, this same string becomes a frametrap.
*Launches opponent, easiest to combo into uc.2B.<br>
*Starting an Unchain sequence with 214P will generally always result in the best possible damage and widest array of combo routes.<br>
'''c.D 6B 214C'''<br>
'''c.D > 6B > 214C'''<br>
*Highest damage combo off a jump-in.<br>
*Highest damage combo starter.<br>
*Follow up with uc.2B.
*214C combos from 6B and is otherwise identical to 214A in its usage during combos starting with a Close D, but it generates more meter. Use it over 214A whenever possible. <br>
'''CD > 624B (whiff) > 2C'''<br>
*Best damage off a CD hit. If the 2C > 214P (kara) > 2K string is too difficult, you can just do 214P after the slide, the difference in damage is not too big.

'''Overview'''
Unchain can be thought of as a complex rekka series.<br>
Unchain can be thought of as a complex rekka series with 4 stages.<br>
# Use a '''Starter''' move. Once this move has been used, it can be canceled into an unchain circle more regardless of whether the move hits the opponent or not.
# Use a '''Starter''' move to begin the first stage of the sequence. Even if the move misses or gets blocked, it can be followed up with an Unchain Circle attack. The sequence always immediately advances to the Circle phase after an Unchain Starter.
# You may cancel into any '''Unchain Circle''' (UC) move. Because there is no light and heavy version of the Unchain Circle moves, they are simply abbreviated as P and K (for example, 8K or 2P)
# In stage 2, Ángel can perform any 1 of 6 '''Unchain Circle''' attacks (henceforth shortened to “Circle”). Because there is no light and heavy version of the Circle moves, they are simply abbreviated as P and K (for example, 8K or 2P). Unlike the other stages, this one does not necessarily end after 1 move.
# Optionally, you may cancel UC moves into other UC moves, <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="following these rules." data-collapsetext="TL;DR">

## You must alternate between punches and kicks.
## You must alternate between punches and kicks. As an example, if you use a punch attack in the Circle phase, the next attack must be a kick.
## You cannot repeat directional inputs between consecutive moves.
## You cannot repeat directional inputs between consecutive moves. If you use a Circle attack with a forward input, the next Circle attack must contain a down or up input.
## You cannot use the same move twice within one unchain sequence.
## You cannot use the same move twice within one unchain sequence. Any time an Unchain Starter is used, the sequence is considered reset.
## If the Starter was a 41236B/D/B+D that was canceled into off an UC move, you cannot cancel UC moves into each other.<div>
## If the Starter was a command dash (426K) that was canceled into from a Circle move (see the next phase of the Unchain sequence), you may only perform one Circle attack per sequence. If you wish to observe this restriction to better understand it, perform the following combo at midscreen: 214P > 6K > 426BD > 8P > 426K > 8K. Notice that you are locked out of any Circle attacks after 8K, leaving 66C, 66A or 66K as your only follow-up options.<div>
# Optionally, cancel into the Unchain Special Move, a dodge (4/5/6A+B).
# While still in the Circle phase, you may reset the sequence by canceling a Circle attack into Unchain Starter - Dash (426K). This applies the previously mentioned restriction on Circle cancels until the sequence is dropped or finished.
# Use an unchain ender. These are not cancelable into anything, however uc.66A/C can be comboed after.
# After any Unchain Circle attack, you may optionally perform a Special Spin. This is the only move available in stage 3 of the Unchain sequence, and can be skipped entirely in favor of going straight to stage 4 if so desired. The Special Spin is a dodge with complicated invulnerability properties, used as both a movement tool and a way to safely disengage the Unchain sequence. [https://dreamcancel.com/wiki/The_King_of_Fighters_XV/%C3%81ngel#Special_Circle Read more about the Special Spin here.] If a Special Spin is performed, your only options are to drop the sequence or perform a move from the final stage.
# After stage 2 or 3, you may end the sequence with an Unchain Finisher. These moves will end the sequence, but they are not necessarily combo enders — a successful 66A or 66C will extend combos and even allow you to begin a new Unchain sequence, and 66K is super cancelable (even if this is rarely ever recommended).
'''Starters'''
To recap:
*214A/C
**Launches on hit.
'''Unchain Starter'''
**Can be canceled into unchain circle moves before the hit.
*Begins the Unchain sequence with 1 of 5 moves, and plenty of mix already baked into this phase. A low, an overhead, potential frametraps and a side-switching command dash are located here.
**C version has no pushback
**EX (A+C) version is not an unchain starter.
*46B/D
**46B has more pushback, making certain combos drop.
**46D cannot be comboed into from 2A, however can combo from c.B.<div>
*41236B/D/B+D
**Can cancel into unchain circle moves after a minimum distance has been traveled.
**Automatically passed through opponent when you run into them. Upon appearing behind them, can cancel into unchain circle moves.
*3B
**Hits low.
**Travels forwards slightly.
*3D
**Hits overhead.
**Causes hard knockdown when you hit an airborne opponent.
'''Unchain Circle'''
'''Unchain Circle'''
*6 moves that can be rapidly chained together, or even canceled back into another command dash to reset the sequence. Both of the up input Circle attacks are mids that are great at covering high angles and extending combos. Both of the forward input Circle attacks are overheads, one slow and one fast. Both of the down input Circle attacks are lows, one slow and one fast.
'''Enders'''
'''Special Spin '''
*41236B/D/B+D
*Pick from 1 or 3 dodges that grant strike and projectile invulnerability on frame 1. Back spin travels the furthest, neutral spin recovers the fastest, while the forward spin moves you forward, which can be considered a reward in of itself.
**If used as an ender, you may cancel into an UC move, however this UC move cannot be canceled into other UC moves.
*66A
'''Unchain Finisher'''
**Launches, but has poor range. Hard to connect in many confirms.
*End the sequence. This stage is home to plenty of mix: A launcher, an unblockable wallbounce, a fast command grab, a slow command grab and a safe-on-block hard knockdown with good range are at your disposal.
*66C
**Unblockable.
**Doesn't combo off anything on standing opponents.
**Can be juggled into.
*66B/D
**Overhead that causes hard knockdown.
*236A
**Delayed command grab that travels forwards.
**Impossible to combo into but can be used for mixups.
*236C
**1 frame command grab.
**Go to ender for unchain series' that cannot launch the opponent.
**Poor advantage upon landing this move, sends you full screen with no possible followups.

====Anti-airing====
====Anti-airing====
*Best anti-airs: j.A, f.D, f.B
*Best anti-airs: Far D, Far B, 66A
*Angel's anti-airs are generally speaking weak. Your best bet is to try to intercept their jump-in with your own rising j.A. This requires acting somewhat preemptively, and hitting them before their jump attack becomes active.
*Angel's grounded anti-airs are weak, or hard to access in the case of 66A. Your best option for stopping an aerial approach is to meet them in air with a j.A. This may require a good read/reaction, and hitting them before their jump attack becomes active.
*Far B is great anti-hop, but does not cover full jump angles very well. Far D covers it a little better. Far D can work as anti-hop too, but it is a bit more risky in exchange for the higher damage.
*If you do find yourself in the position to anti-air with 66A for whatever reason, it is a very rewarding option and it comes with upper body invulnerability through most of its startup.
*2C is similarly rewarding, but not a very good anti-air in itself. You may consider it as a high-risk option.
====Movement====
====Movement====
*Angel's backdash can be canceled into j.2D. To do this, simply backdash with 454, then slide to 1D before you hit the ground. This allows you to backdash slightly faster, and the j.2D has a chance to hit the opponent, especially if you're cornered.
*Angel's backdash can be canceled into j.2D. To do this, simply input 2D while backdashing. This makes her backdash go from 22 total frames to 19, and the j.2D can still hit an advancing opponent (or extended hurtbox), especially if you're cornered.
*Unchain can be used for movement. '''Tricky to use and not required for starting the character.'''<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Tell me more" data-collapsetext="TL;DR">
*Unchain can be used for movement. '''Tricky to use and not required for starting the character, but you will eventually need to learn this as you get better at the game and fight stronger opponents.'''<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Tell me more" data-collapsetext="TL;DR">
**41236K unchain dash can be used to approach off canceled attacks, such as canceling 5C+D
**426K not only allows you to move forward at the same speed as a regular run, it allows you to access your Unchain Circle options right out of the run. This gives you instant access to powerful movement options, such as 8K > Special Spin and 6K.
**41236K is good to quickly cross through the opponent. This can be used for mixups and '''possibly''' avoid some attacks but '''don't rely on this.'''
**Look for opportunities to use Unchain moves as movement tools, such as 2K’s long forward movement or 6K’s ability to jump over most fireballs while advancing forward and giving you access to the Special Spin.
**During unchain dash, you have access to unchain circle moves after a short minimum distance. You can input 7A+B, 8A+B, or 9A+B to get a quick uc.8B which will immediately cancel into dodge, which can then be optionally cancelled into an unchain ender.
**8K is Ángel’s fastest Unchain Circle attack at 8 frames of startup, and is therefore the primary method of quickly accessing the Special Spin.
**uc.2B covers a lot of distance quickly, however is unsafe as it is fairly easy for an aware opponent to punish you. Angel can actually be thrown before uc.2B hits.
**Dash > 8K can be looped. This allows her to rapidly cover hop angles with a hitbox while advancing forward for as long as this input is looped. This can also be achieved by inputting 412369K during the command dash, which will perform the 8K and immediately cancel it into another dash. While not as fast as 8K, 2P and 8P can also be used for the dash loop.
**41236K unchain dash can be quickly canceled into itself with the uc.8B whiff cancel trick. To do this, start unchain dash with 41236K, then input 412369B. This will make Angel whiff uc.8B and immediately cancel into another dash. Use this to extend the range of unchain dash.
**426K can be used to get out of the corner, as it is quite difficult to react to and switches sides.
***Alongside the dodge (4/5/6A+B) to avoid attacks and projectiles, this allows you to move (in a somewhat stilted way) while retaining quick access to your unchain options.
**66K has good range, moves forward, has lower body invulnerability and is safe on block, making it a decent option for forcing your way in.

One of the cybernetically modified humans created by the secret syndicate known as NESTS. Her fighting style is something she calls "Perfunctory♥", which is an unorthodox fighting style that makes use of an 'unchain' system that involves multiple throw techniques. All this means she has unparalleled strength when up close. She loves to joke around, and her personality isn’t something one can pin down. Leaving her life in Mexico behind, she joins Krohnen and enters KOF.
Jump: 40f Hop: 32f Backdash: 22f Run Speed Ranking: 5
Ángel is a very, very strange and complex character in comparison to the rest of the cast, in part due to some unorthodox normals and mostly due to her Unchain system. Ángel's Unchain system allows her to cancel a set of special moves into another set of special moves into another set of special moves to confuse and mix up the opponent. She has multiple different lows, overheads, and command grabs and ways to set them up. She is a different beast compared to everyone else in the game, but can be very rewarding for those who put in the time and effort to master her. Outside of her complexity, Angel is a powerful mixup fighter who excels at close range. Her Unchain System allows her lots of variety in her approach, oki and pressure games, and getting put in the corner against her is a death sentence. Angel's biggest weakness is her awkward neutral — Ángel will have use good movement to force her way in against her opponents. Her pokes are quietly serviceable at best and her approach is difficult without access to truly dangerous normals like the rest of the cast, making it easy to push her back. If an opponent can successfully keep her out, it will be hard for Ángel to get started. Ángel functions best on point, where her high meterless damage and good meter build allow her to vortex the opponent to death while minimizing the chance that her opponent uses a guard cancel to stop her offense.
Ángel is a rushdown character that excels in pressuring her opponent with the Unchained (UC) System.
Pros
Cons
Extremely Anti-Projectile: There are at least 5 moves in Ángel’s arsenal that have some form of projectile invulnerability, and many of these are forward-advancing attacks. In addition to this, she has access to EX Red Sky for only half a bar, a lightning-fast slide that does good damage, is projectile invulnerable, grants a safejump on hit and can hit from about half-screen distance. This move alone makes projectile zoning a complete non-issue (and even an opportunity) to Ángel, let alone the fact she has several other options to choose from on top of standard KOF anti-zoning.
Brutal Oki: Ángel’s combos almost always grant the opportunity to safejump after the combo ender. If it’s not a safejump, it’s a setup that allows her to hit an unblockable punch on the opponent as soon as they wakeup. If it’s not that, it’s guard breaking with 214AC. Or it’s a left/right mix. Sometimes the left/right mix is also a safejump regardless of the direction she chooses. Ángel’s offense is very difficult to stop once it gets started.
Flexibility: Ángel has a huge number of tools to help her out in battle. Several Unchain Starts help her contest neutral or defend against her opponents approach, which lets her adapt to her opponents gameplan easily. An Ángel player with solid reflexes and sharp reads can readily react to any situation with the right move.
Massive Damage At A Low Cost: Outstanding meterless damage. Achieving upwards of 40% damage without burning meter is not out of the question.
Terrifying Mixups: Angel's left/right game is absurd with her j.C, which crosses up incredibly well. Her high damage allows her to two-touch most characters and vortex them back into the mixup all over again. She has everything a pressure character could want, including command grabs, frame traps, and even an honest-to-god unblockable for catching the hardest of turtles.
Awkward Neutral: Angel's neutral can be very awkward, with normals that range anywhere from unspectacularly bad or situational to decent at best. Whiff punishing can be difficult, and even trying to punish on block can be difficult due to her close heavies having very short range and the subpar nature of her far normals. It’s not all bad, but if Ángel is not given the sufficient space and time to utilize her Unchain in neutral, her normals will make for an uncomfortable time on defense.
Terrible Meter Dumps: In extreme contrast to her meterless damage, Ángel’s returns on meter spent in a combo will fall off a cliff once you spend any more than 1 bar. The price to pay for meterless 400 damage combos is being forced to spend 3-3.5 bars just to break 620 damage. Her super deals 160 base damage, and her climax only does 430. Her lengthy combos result in harsh scaling by the end of combo, which makes Quick MAX, an action which accelerates this scaling and expects you to cash out with super attacks, very unrewarding. Her normals make a guard cancel roll unrewarding as a punish tool. With all of this in mind, meter is best spent on EX moves, shatter strikes, her counter super and guard cancel CD; most of these are strictly defensive options. Big damage must be achieved by leaning into Ángel’s strong resets because dumping meter into big damage to secure kills is not an option.
Issues with consistency: Ángel has an uncanny ability to make rounds go really, really bad for your opponent, but there will be times where you may find it difficult to truly get Ángel’s offense started and you are forced to spend the next round trying to make a comeback. Even her defense is serviceable (don’t forget, she has a 1F counter super that beats safejumps) for the most part, but that runs into issues with consistency too. You may press B to stop a hop with far B, only to find that close B (absolutely not an anti-hop) comes out instead and you eat a combo. You may get out of the corner by command dashing through your opponent, or you just get counterhit out of the dash and eat a full combo. At least her meter gain is consistently high for your troubles.

Anything involving 2A will result in a fairly low damage combo unless you spend half a bar on 46BD. Try and use Close B instead of 2A whenever possible.
Followups are limited without meter or corner.
2B > c.B > 46D
46D keeps the opponent closer on hit, allowing 6P > 66A to combo after.
46D does not combo from 2A.
2B > c.B > 214A
If Close B is blocked, this same string becomes a frametrap.
Starting an Unchain sequence with 214P will generally always result in the best possible damage and widest array of combo routes.
c.D > 6B > 214C
Highest damage combo starter.
214C combos from 6B and is otherwise identical to 214A in its usage during combos starting with a Close D, but it generates more meter. Use it over 214A whenever possible.
CD > 624B (whiff) > 2C
Best damage off a CD hit. If the 2C > 214P (kara) > 2K string is too difficult, you can just do 214P after the slide, the difference in damage is not too big.
Unchain Overview
Overview
Unchain can be thought of as a complex rekka series with 4 stages.
Use a Starter move to begin the first stage of the sequence. Even if the move misses or gets blocked, it can be followed up with an Unchain Circle attack. The sequence always immediately advances to the Circle phase after an Unchain Starter.
In stage 2, Ángel can perform any 1 of 6 Unchain Circle attacks (henceforth shortened to “Circle”). Because there is no light and heavy version of the Circle moves, they are simply abbreviated as P and K (for example, 8K or 2P). Unlike the other stages, this one does not necessarily end after 1 move.
Optionally, you may cancel Circle moves into other Circle moves,
You must alternate between punches and kicks. As an example, if you use a punch attack in the Circle phase, the next attack must be a kick.
You cannot repeat directional inputs between consecutive moves. If you use a Circle attack with a forward input, the next Circle attack must contain a down or up input.
You cannot use the same move twice within one unchain sequence. Any time an Unchain Starter is used, the sequence is considered reset.
If the Starter was a command dash (426K) that was canceled into from a Circle move (see the next phase of the Unchain sequence), you may only perform one Circle attack per sequence. If you wish to observe this restriction to better understand it, perform the following combo at midscreen: 214P > 6K > 426BD > 8P > 426K > 8K. Notice that you are locked out of any Circle attacks after 8K, leaving 66C, 66A or 66K as your only follow-up options.
While still in the Circle phase, you may reset the sequence by canceling a Circle attack into Unchain Starter - Dash (426K). This applies the previously mentioned restriction on Circle cancels until the sequence is dropped or finished.
After any Unchain Circle attack, you may optionally perform a Special Spin. This is the only move available in stage 3 of the Unchain sequence, and can be skipped entirely in favor of going straight to stage 4 if so desired. The Special Spin is a dodge with complicated invulnerability properties, used as both a movement tool and a way to safely disengage the Unchain sequence. Read more about the Special Spin here. If a Special Spin is performed, your only options are to drop the sequence or perform a move from the final stage.
After stage 2 or 3, you may end the sequence with an Unchain Finisher. These moves will end the sequence, but they are not necessarily combo enders — a successful 66A or 66C will extend combos and even allow you to begin a new Unchain sequence, and 66K is super cancelable (even if this is rarely ever recommended).
To recap:
Unchain Starter
Begins the Unchain sequence with 1 of 5 moves, and plenty of mix already baked into this phase. A low, an overhead, potential frametraps and a side-switching command dash are located here.
Unchain Circle
6 moves that can be rapidly chained together, or even canceled back into another command dash to reset the sequence. Both of the up input Circle attacks are mids that are great at covering high angles and extending combos. Both of the forward input Circle attacks are overheads, one slow and one fast. Both of the down input Circle attacks are lows, one slow and one fast.
Special Spin
Pick from 1 or 3 dodges that grant strike and projectile invulnerability on frame 1. Back spin travels the furthest, neutral spin recovers the fastest, while the forward spin moves you forward, which can be considered a reward in of itself.
Unchain Finisher
End the sequence. This stage is home to plenty of mix: A launcher, an unblockable wallbounce, a fast command grab, a slow command grab and a safe-on-block hard knockdown with good range are at your disposal.
Strategy
Anti-airing
Best anti-airs: Far D, Far B, 66A
Angel's grounded anti-airs are weak, or hard to access in the case of 66A. Your best option for stopping an aerial approach is to meet them in air with a j.A. This may require a good read/reaction, and hitting them before their jump attack becomes active.
Far B is great anti-hop, but does not cover full jump angles very well. Far D covers it a little better. Far D can work as anti-hop too, but it is a bit more risky in exchange for the higher damage.
If you do find yourself in the position to anti-air with 66A for whatever reason, it is a very rewarding option and it comes with upper body invulnerability through most of its startup.
2C is similarly rewarding, but not a very good anti-air in itself. You may consider it as a high-risk option.
Movement
Angel's backdash can be canceled into j.2D. To do this, simply input 2D while backdashing. This makes her backdash go from 22 total frames to 19, and the j.2D can still hit an advancing opponent (or extended hurtbox), especially if you're cornered.
Unchain can be used for movement. Tricky to use and not required for starting the character, but you will eventually need to learn this as you get better at the game and fight stronger opponents.
426K not only allows you to move forward at the same speed as a regular run, it allows you to access your Unchain Circle options right out of the run. This gives you instant access to powerful movement options, such as 8K > Special Spin and 6K.
Look for opportunities to use Unchain moves as movement tools, such as 2K’s long forward movement or 6K’s ability to jump over most fireballs while advancing forward and giving you access to the Special Spin.
8K is Ángel’s fastest Unchain Circle attack at 8 frames of startup, and is therefore the primary method of quickly accessing the Special Spin.
Dash > 8K can be looped. This allows her to rapidly cover hop angles with a hitbox while advancing forward for as long as this input is looped. This can also be achieved by inputting 412369K during the command dash, which will perform the 8K and immediately cancel it into another dash. While not as fast as 8K, 2P and 8P can also be used for the dash loop.
426K can be used to get out of the corner, as it is quite difficult to react to and switches sides.
66K has good range, moves forward, has lower body invulnerability and is safe on block, making it a decent option for forcing your way in.

Fast, short range poke that hits low
2B combo starters are generally not very rewarding for Ángel, especially compared to other characters.
Follow up with Close B > 46D or 2A > 46B to hit confirm into Unchain. If you use 2A instead of Close B, you must spend half a bar on 46BD to get access to the superior Unchain routes that Close B > 46D grants.

Not as good of an anti-air as it looks, but it can work and the reward is solid
Compensates for being the second-slowest 2C in the game by being the only launcher 2C in the game.
Special cancelable, even on whiff.
Commonly followed up with 214P (kara) > 2K; this is also the optimal combo starter after a 214AC guard break in the corner.
Don't whiff this without canceling into something like 214P or 426K.

Great all-around aerial attack option
Can cancel into j.2D unless performed during a hop. There is no risk attached to this, so you may as well buffer it every time.
If j.A counterhits an aerial opponent, it will successfully combo into j.2D for a total of 97 damage and just a little bit more time for oki on the air-to-air exchange

Good poke, does what a CD does and not a whole lot else
Press C 1-2 frames before pressing D to get extra range out of this move. A 2-frame gap will result in the longest possible range.
On hit from midscreen, cancel into 63214B/D to quickly get back in range of the opponent in time to convert into a combo, usually with 2C > 214A (kara) > 2K. This is fairly risk-free as Red Sky is safe on block anyway.

Normal throw that switches sides
You will be quite far from the opponent after doing this, unless you were backed up into a corner. You still have time for oki or even a safejump if you're fast enough.
Safejump: If you throw your opponent into the corner, immediately press Far B and hyper hop forward.

Cancel into this after j.A (unless it's a hop) for extra damage on your jump-in
Opponent may switch their block to low after blocking the j.A, leading to a hit if the j.2D comes out after
With good timing and a decent hop angle on the opponent, Ángel can land on the other side of the opponent after hitting this.
See notes in the movement section about using this during a backdash to make the backdash faster.
If you are backed into a corner, you can backdash and immediately press 2D to use this move as a sneaky, fast overhead. There are combo resets that make use of this; in the corner, try the following: 66C > 426BD > Close D > 426K > Backdash j.2D > [Any combo]

Ángel slides forward about half-screen distance. B version is faster, D version has longer range and is +2 on block.
This is a hitgrab, not a true command grab. It can be blocked.
Works as both a combo ender and a way to advance forward in neutral due to its safety on block.
On a CD hit, use any version of this to quickly get back in range of the opponent and confirm into a combo, usually with 2C > 214P (kara) > 2K
EX version slides faster and can go through projectiles. Grants hard knockdown and an easy safejump, a property that makes it one of the best combo enders Ángel has access to. It is also her best anti-projectile tool.
Safejump: Immediately hyper hop forward after the 624BD animation ends.

Command grab that launches the opponent
EX Version has less startup frames and launches higher. It also has strike invulnerability starting on frame 3.
Tick throw setup: Make the enemy block a Close A, then use 426AC as soon as its recovery ends (do not special cancel directly out of Close A or the grab will whiff)
Usually followed by 46D to continue the combo
Some moves can combo into this, but this should be avoided due to the unnecessary damage scaling this would apply to a combo.

Unchain starter with good range
Often used to continue combos on a launched opponent
Can be used as anti-air (not recommended)
EX version is faster and vastly improves the distance Ángel moves forward, allowing for consistent 46BD > 6P > 66A chains, especially off 2A confirms. It also makes this move decent (but not great; it’s still an 11 frame special that costs half a bar) for use as a punish tool.
Technically advances Ángel forward as long as you cancel the first hit into an Unchain Circle. This makes 46B (whiff) > 6K a surprisingly effective way to fish for overhead hits.

Unchain starter that can lead to big damage and works especially well after 6B
You can kara-cancel this into any Unchain Circle move, get creative with it and do stuff like poke low from midscreen by canceling into 2K
Light version is faster and plus on block with huge pushback, heavy version has no pushback on block and generates much more meter.
EX version will guard break on block or crumple on hit
EX version is not an Unchain starter. Very few things will combo after a guard break from this move, but 46B (or 46BD) will generally always connect and 2C becomes an option if this guard break is performed in the corner from sufficiently close range.

Ángel dashes forward at the same speed as a normal run (despite the slightly sped-up animation), switching sides if she runs into the opponent unless they are fully backed into a corner.
Can be canceled into any Unchain Circle after running for a minimum of 10 frames or after switching sides with the opponent
Do not use this in the corner unless it is the EX version, as it will not side switch on an opponent that is in the corner.
If Ángel runs into an opponent that is already in the corner using the non-EX version, her strike invulnerability only lasts 5 frames (instead of 20) and she cannot cancel into an Unchain Circle after.
Despite not having throw invulnerability, a normal throw will almost never catch it; a command grab is required.
EX version deals damage and is mostly used to extend combos due to it being extremely punishable on block. If it hits on an enemy already in the corner, you may cancel into a Circle.

Basic uppercut
Great for extending combos on a launched opponent, but will not launch a grounded opponent.
Against an airborne opponent, 6AB > 66A is a great option to keep the combo going. On a grounded hit, you are limited to cashing out with 6K > 236C

Ángel jumps forward, kicking the opponent very early into the jump
Fastest overhead in the game. Also advances Ángel forward
Commonly used after catching a launched opponent with 46D, and is usually followed by 426BD after a hit on an airborne enemy.
Also works as a good way to mix an opponent after hitting (or whiffing) with uc.2P
Has lower body invulnerability to projectiles, allowing her to jump over any ground and medium height projectiles. Higher projectiles, such as Rugal’s eye laser, cannot be jumped over.
With proper usage of the Special Spin, this move is a lot safer than its frame data implies. Generally, this move cannot be punished by any strike attack as long as a back Special Spin is inputted immediately after.
Unchain Circle follow-ups: 8P, 2P (On a grounded opponent, you are usually better off cashing out with 236C)

A slow overhead punch with fairly short range and great frametrap potential
On a grounded opponent, the first hit can be canceled into 66A for a launch; this is usually followed by 46D > 2K > 66K
This move is great for baiting out reversals using the following blockstring: Close D > 6B > 214C > 6P > 4AB. This string leaves enough of a gap for reversals to come out, but the Special Spin will ensure you are not hit by the reversal and you can take your free punish.
On an airborne opponent, hold jump after the hit to perform a safejump

Ángel jumps forward and kicks low after landing
Impressive range, works especially well after Unchain Step (41236B/D) to "add" approximately 15 frames of startup in exchange for making this a fullscreen poke

Ángel spins after performing an Unchain Circle move. If 4 or 6 is inputted along with AB, she will move in that direction. The back spin travels further, the neutral spin recovers faster, and the forward spin generally appears to have better throw invulnerability.
Outstanding for baiting reversals during Unchain, especially by using 6P > 4AB
Has complicated invulnerability properties. Most consistent of these is the fact that all spins are invulnerable to projectiles for the spin’s entire duration. The spin can end while a projectile is right at the center of Ángel’s hurtbox, and she will still block it. Throw invulnerability will vary. Strike invulnerability starts on frame 1 and lasts 19 frames. Circle · Feint (Backward) - 6AB has the same properties as back dashes when it comes to air throws which means that Ángel cannot by air thown by non-anywhere juggle moves while she is in the air.
Useful for repositioning in the middle of a combo (e.g. after 214A > 2K > 8P, use 6AB to get in close enough to launch the opponent with 66A)
Can also be used to fish for a normal throw or command grab if the opponent is blocking your mix. A back spin into 66K will usually catch your opponent’s attempt to poke or run up after the back spin.
You must use an Unchain Finisher (or drop the combo) after performing this move

Slow, unblockable punch with solid range that wallbounces the opponent
If you are close enough to the corner, the opponent will bounce behind you
Very useful for attempting resets after the wallbounce
Safejump: On an airborne hit in the corner, immediately jump toward the corner, then super jump away from the corner and press j.C on the way down. You may also normal jump and press j.D, it will still be a safejump.
If you are not in the corner but still want a safejump after hitting this, spend half a bar on 624BD.

Ángel quickly (frame 1) grabs the opponent and kicks them far away
Good for cashing out damage after a combo against a grounded opponent
You will be far from the opponent after doing this midscreen, but the oki you get out of this move is much better in the corner. Try 46B > 6K right after hitting this on an opponent in the corner.
Can be used after a forward Special Spin to fish for small damage, especially on an opponent with low HP.
Surprisingly long range
When attempting to hit 6K > 236C, be sure that your opponent is grounded before pressing 236C. If 6K clipped an airborne opponent, 236C will leave you in a lengthy recovery animation while your opponent gets up.

Ángel runs forward and hits the opponent with a series of punches and kicks, launching them after (does not actually combo into anything except for Advanced/Climax cancels)
EX version switches sides if the opponent is not backed up against the corner. It also does not launch, but a Climax will still hit after.
Exclusively used as a combo ender, but you will have a hard time justifying using this move. Low damage and poor oki, combined with Ángel’s very poor returns on dumping meter, will make it much more worthwhile to end combos with moves like 66K or 624BD to get better oki.

Ángel lifts her knee up. If an opponent hits her during the fairly tight active frame window, she will Rock Bottom them (switching sides) and then perform The People's Elbow.
2-bar version does more damage, and nothing else.
1F startup means this move will beat safejumps clean, including crossups. Consider this as an option when your opponent is at least than 20% HP, or if you are backed up into the corner.
Due to its tight active frame window and ability to beat safejumps, this move is best used on wakeup.
Can be canceled into from normal and Unchain Circle moves; this should be avoided as it will almost certainly be a waste of meter
2-bar version can be cancelled into from Real Rave (her other super), and this can then be Climax cancelled. If the counter is done raw, it cannot be Climax cancelled.

Ángel flips forward and comes down hard with her legs. If this hits, the rest of the animation (and damage) plays, in which Ángel hits the opponent with a few punches before stuffing their face into her chest and dropping to the ground hard, taking the opponent down with her.
Don't use this too close to the opponent, she will jump over them and whiff
Not an overhead
There are two kicks that come out when you activate this attack. The first kick is the one that plays the animation and does full damage. The second kick will give you a knockdown, but does not play the animation and will only do 150 damage.
