Gameplay Overview
Normals
Standing
- st. A: The go to anti air tool to dissuade opponents from hopping against Clark.
- st. B: This move is plus on block, while not special-cancelable it can link into cr.D, which also makes it a great frametrap into that button.
- st. C: Backfist, one of Clark’s best tools in neutral. Max and Super-Cancelable. One of the better round openers with Clark, as it is fast and reaches far. If you feel the opponent likes to press buttons at round start, this move will usually connect and beat out most non-invul/low-profile moves allow for a nice max-mode conversion to start the round. Beware that it does whiff on crouchers.
- st. D: A long-range anti air tool that even hits crouchers. Has a big vertical hitbox, but does not possess long horizontal range.
Close
- cl. A
- cl. B: Special cancellable. It is typically linked with cr. B.
- cl. C: 2-hit move that allows you to late max mode cancel. Special-cancellable. 1st hit is special cancelable and max cancelable, 2nd hit is super and max cancelable.
- cl. D: Mainly used to anti air up close if the opponent is not in range of st. D. Beware that it does whiff on crouchers, but it does avoid crouching lows.
Crouching
- cr. A: Special-cancellable.
- cr. B: Special-cancellable low. +2 on guard and primary use for both confirming and for pressure situations. Can chain into other cr. A and combo off cl. C.
- cr. C: Special-cancellable. A long range ground poke which helps compensate st. C’s inability to hit crouching opponents.
- cr. D: Sweep DA GAWD. It comes out fairly fast and has decent range for a sweep, making it a great tool to use in neutral for Clark. Because of its quickness and pushback on block, is often advisable to use it as a frametrap (eg. Cr.B,St.B,Cr.D). Command normal, special, super, max cancel-able. Most practical thing to cancel it into on hit is f+BD (step), as this opens up one of the entries into Clark’s Vortex game, will be explained more in the strategy section. You can also cancel into f+BD on block, but good opponents will punish it, so use sparingly.
Jumping
- j. A: The go-to jump-in button.
- j. B: Air to air and is mainly used to catch hops.
- j. C: Air to air. That is used more to catch full jumps. Can jump with f+C to OS air throw.
- j. D: Clark’s best anti air button that has both long horizontal and vertical hitbox.
Blowback
- st. CD: Special cancellable and causes a wall splat on grounded opponents.
- j. CD: Great pressure tool with a strong downwards vertical angle.

- Preferred follow-up as you get a hard knockdown with enough time to do a safe jump setups
