Movelist

Normals

Close

• cl.C is good to use in combos to cancel into special moves or his f+A command norma.

• Far B is cancel-able

Crouch

• Crouch A can be chained from cl.B.
• Crouch B hits low, can chain into cl.B, and cr.A and is not cancel-able
• Crouch C can be used as an anti-air because of it's vertical hitbox but lacks horizontal space

Jump

• Jump B/C/D all cross up
• Jump A can be used as an instant overhead on some crouching characters
• Jump B as a hop can be used as an air-to-air to stop incoming hops. Can be low profiled if used as a jump or superjump.
