GCCD: Guard Cancel Blowback Attack

- Damage: 10
Throws
Psychic Attack = b/f + C/D close - Athena grabs the opponent, disappears then reappears above them kicking them to the ground
- Can be broken
- Hit Detection: Close
- Damage: 100
Command Moves
Phoenix Bomb = f+B - Athena jumps into the the air then does a hip attack, makes her float for a short bit, it's an overhead on crouching opponents, has poor recovery if you whiff so try your best to combo into it when you use it offensively, also it should be noted that this move is extremely important in Athena's runaway game because when you use along with her backdash it makes her hop backwards much faster and much farther, the earlier you execute it the faster the dash is some keep that in mind.
- Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 50
Phoenix Bomb Air = f+B in air - It's executed the same way as the ground version except in the air now, a good air to air move if timed correctly and if you are already in the air higher than your opponent.
- Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: Mid
- Damage: 60
Special Attacks
Psycho Ball = qcb+P - Athena forms a purple sphere then propels it at her opponent, the weak version slowly travels across the screen while the strong version goes much faster and does more damage, this move is the key component of her zoning game so use it "sparingly", spamming it works but only if you have a back-up plan because your opponent will catch on sooner or later, using it in moderation will keep you on your feet and prevent you from being extremely predictable so keep that in mind, if your opponent catches on they may try to hyper hop or evasive roll past them to attack you so be sure to switch it up between weak/strong and different moves altogether, it's also super cancel-able as soon as it's executed
(EX) = qcb+AC - Slow start-up but does three hits instead of one now, it also takes two projectiles to cancel it out
- Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 65/80/43x3
Psycho Sword = dp+P - Athena does a rising uppercut attack launching the opponent into the air, the weak version only goes slightly off the ground and does three hits, the weak version is mostly good for zoning because it doesn't go too far off the ground making it easier to time and more difficult to punish, the strong version goes all the way into the air and does five hits, unlike the weak version there's a small bit of invincibility at start-up making it great as a reversal move, both versions can be punished (more so the latter than the former) so be careful when using outside of combos, can be drive/super canceled on the first hit
(EX) = dp+AC - There is a brief pause between the fourth and fifth hit making it easier to cancel
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 50+20+20/65+25x4/80+35x2+48+35
Psycho Reflector = qcb+K - Athena forms a purple shield to protect herself from attacks, the weak version lasts a short time while the strong version lasts a bit longer and does more damage, this move can counter physical attacks and projectiles, physical attacks are at best countered when they attempt a jump-in, the difference with projectiles is that they're repelled as soon as they reach the shield causing them to bounce back, if you use it too early you can get it hit so watch yourself, despite that this move can counter physical moves it's main forte is against projectiles so try to use it as thus
(EX) = qcb+BD - Throws a psycho ball and the projectile thrown at the opponent, when the psycho ball hits it juggles the opponent so they get with the following projectile as well
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 60/100
Phoenix Arrow = qcb+K in air - Athena turns into a ball covered in psycho energy then continues to roll in a diagonal forward motion until she touches the ground, the weak version is safe but it's difficult to hit people with it, the strong version does more hits and at the end she lands on the ground and sticks her leg out to kick her opponent, the strong version is unsafe as soon as she sticks her leg out, this can be pretty useful when done after a successful cross-up but not much else, can be tiger knee'd into by pressing d/db/b/ub+K, can be drive/super canceled on the last hit
(EX) = qcb+BD in air - Same speed and execution as the strong version except it does more hits and has better recovery making it safe
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 20xN/20xN+20+60/20xN+20+90
Psycho Teleport = qcf+K - Athena does a pose then teleports to the mid/far side of the screen, the weak version makes her travel 1/3 way across the screen while the strong version makes her go 3/4's across the screen, while it's mostly good for moving around it is also good for tricking your opponent if their reaction time isn't up to speed or if they're just sleepy, the only repercussion to this move it that she can be punished while she is teleporting so you have to time it correctly, try switching between the weak and strong version to further confuse them
(EX) = qcf+BD in air - Same speed and execution as the weak version except it has complete invincibility at start-up making it an extremely good getaway tool during wake-up, it's also drive/super cancel-able now
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: None
- Damage: 0
Super Psychic Throw = hcf+P - Athena uses her psycho powers to lift the opponent into the air for a possible attack if not they fall straight to the ground, has command throw properties, it can be comboed into from light normals when you're right next to them, it also causes "hard knockdown" meaning it's un-rollable as soon as they hit the ground if you don't chose to do a follow-up attack, there's also a bit of invincibility at start-up as well, the initial throw doesn't do any damage but the knockdown does, preferably used for corner mix-ups and reversals
(EX) = hcf+AC in air - The initial throw does damage this time, it also launches the opponent into high enough for a follow-up combo
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: Close
- Damage: 125/80+60
Desperation Moves
Shining Crystal Bit = hcfx2+P also in air, ABCD to cancel - Athena floats while the jewel she's wearing starts to glow then she forms a purple energy shield that covers her entire body for a brief period, there's a good chunk of invincibility at start-up making good for punishing anything from jump-ins to poorly timed moves, despite the wide hitbox she can still be punished as soon as the move is done but that's where the cancel aspect comes from, if you whiff this move whether when you're trying to punish someone's attack/jump-in/etc be sure to press ABCD simultaneously to immediately cancel it so that the opponent won't get the chance to punish you, all version can also be done in the air the same rules also apply
(EX) = hcfx2+AC in air - Faster start-up, there is a vacuum effect that pulls the opponent into it and it does 27 hits instead of just one
- Drive/Super Cancel-able
- Hit Detection: Close
- Damage: 210/10x26+60
Neomax
Psycho Medley 13 = hcfx2+P - Athena does pose then dashes across the screen, if she hits the opponent she summons her past iterations that proceed to ping pong the opponent in all directions of the screen in a pentagram like fashion thirteen times, after the thirteenth hit the real Athena appears with then summons six guardians holding weapons (wand, hammer, chain & ball, bow & arrow, mace, sword & shield) then she points then they turn into psycho balls hitting the opponent at the same time for another thirteen hits, another thing about this move is that the guardians armor color change depending on how many hits you do (gold/green/purple), this move activates very fast making it really good for punishing anything from jump-ins to evasive rolls so use like so
- Hit Detection: High
- Damage: 10x11+20+20x12+60
