Gameplay Overview

Athena is a zoning character. She can annoy her opponents with a variety of projectiles from afar, but she has some tricks up her sleeve even when they manage to get close, such as a DP and a command grab. She also has a projectile reflect to use against characters who try to zone her out. Due to the nature of her gameplan, she doesn't really need meter to win, but she can certainly cash meter in for big damage when available. As opponents with meter may be able to counteract some of her zoning, she does great on point, though she is also able to take advantage of meter well and can function just as well in other positions. Athena is a strong zoning character who baits her opponents into unsafe methods of approach before punishing.
Pros	Cons
Reliable Zoning: Athena's zoning gameplan is very strong and consistent. Her slow fireballs may seem like a detriment, but they force a reaction from your opponent which you can then react to and punish. If they roll, you can hit them with any number of Athena's long sweeps. If they jump, you can contest with her solid air normals or anti-airs. If they hop, you can poke back with her standing normals like 2C and f.D to push your opponent back out. Defense: Athena has numerous fireballs, a number of retreating moves to get her out of the opponents face, a multi-hit DP, and a reflector. This forces opponents to approach her, where she can begin her counterpoking game with great effectiveness. Decent Offense: For a hardcore zoner, Athena has a decent close range game. A command grab and her projectile reflector can allow her to contest space at ranges where most zoners crumble. She also has a teleport in 236B/D, making her good in matchups against other zoners.	Low Damage: Due to her zoning playstyle, Athena has difficulty converting into combos at range. As well, her midscreen combos do low damage and push your opponent back out. Moon Jump: Her high jump arc makes it easy to anti air Athena's air movement and makes her safejump game fairly poor.

When done raw this hits overhead, giving her a mix up option, although since she jumps during the animation, this is easier to react to. This is cancellable into her one air special, j.214K, which lets her get a combo or try to mitigate the risk on block. This causes a juggle state on airborne it too, so it has it's place in combos. When cancelled into, this is a reliable option to get a confirm from heavies. Try to avoid doing this on block as you are forced to commit to a j.214K which can be risky.

In neutral situations there isn't much use to it, since the reward on hit is not much better than a regular jump in normal and the risk is much greater.

This can make Athena hard to pin down as it's easy for her to make space if needed.

Classic DP style special. This is somewhat harder to use than other classic shoryuken style anti airs as it is slow and moves forward, making it prone to whiffing on many jump angles. This requires the Athena player to be more selective about situations in which to use this move in. Use the C or EX version as these have invuln, with the EX version being faster. The A version should only be used for combos where the C version will not work, or for specific punishes, as it has no invuln. Since Athena has air supers, it's easier for her to convert extra damage from an uppercut than some other characters.

Dangerous to whiff in neutral, but serves as a strong general purpose anti air due to its very long active frames. Extremely useful in corner juggle combos.

This move is what gives 6B its value, as she can cancel 6B into this. She can delay the cancel to vary the timing, making it more difficult to punish 6B. The B version is the safest but can still be thrown if done too close. Overall it's low risk but has almost no reward, however as of patch 1.14 it is a key component in her corner infinite. The D version is good for combos as it causes a soft knockdown, but is very unsafe. The EX version is very safe and leaves her out of throw range, unlike the B version. This can be used as a more guaranteed safety option from 6B. It also allows for combos. One niche use is if you angle this in a way that Athena goes over the opponent, the follow-up kick will cross up and autocorrect to hit the opponent. This is overall low reward however, but could be a way to close a round. This is possible from the D version as well, but that version is much slower and easier to react to, and also is much less safe.

This is her command grab and gives her more threat up close. The range is about half a character length. If you let the follow-up animation play out, your opponent will hit the ground and be in a hard knockdown state. However Athena can also perform a combo as they're falling. This is generally the preferred option in the corner; midscreen it can be better to use the knockdown for oki since her midscreen routes aren't that strong, especially without meter. The EX version has an even larger range and does more damage. The range makes it comboable when cancelled from normals. This can even link from j.214B at the proper spacings.

This can vary your movement, but this more punishable than running so should be used wisely. The B version has some upperbody invincibility, which lets you go through some projectiles and high pokes. The D version has no invincibilty but can cross the opponent up. The EX version has full invincibility, but not on start-up. This can be a strong approach option, but it depends on what you're avoiding. If you juggle a 2C midscreen, for example after landing a j.214BD, you can cancel into the B version to cross up or stay in front, depending on how much you delay your cancel.

The move shines in combos, epsecially the EX version which can combo from heavies.

This is a reversal super, with start-up invuln on all versions. The way the active frames work can make it hard to punish; you must wait for her to start floating back to the ground. It also causes massive damage if cancelled from a CD in the corner because of how the two orbs will overlap. This will be one of your best post-stun combos.
