Crouching
cr. A is a crouching slap that can be chained into st.A, st.B, cr. B and her command normals
cr. B: Shermie lays on the ground on her side to kick the opponent near their ankles. She can duck & evade many mid-air projectiles except very low fireball's such as Bao's light punch Psycho Ball (qcb+A) and ground skimming fireballs such as Iori's or Kusanagi's qcf+A. This kick also moves Shermie forward slightly
cr. C: This cancel-able uppercut looks like Shermie is doing a volleyball bump (or pass). She moves backward slightly. Can be used as a grounded anti-air, and has a decent amount of attack range in front of her.
cr. D is a sweep that is not cancel-able. Can evade mid-air projectiles but not as reliably as cr. B.

D version travels about half screen and is faster than B version

the move technically could be used air-to-air as its hitbox will strike aerial opponents, but not her best air option
good move to catch the opponent off guard while they are crouch blocking
F. Captured - (hcb, f + A/C)
Shermie bends slightly taunting her opponent to attack, then sending them behind her in a suplex
counter move that will grab standing and crouching mids

Shermie will throw the opponent about 3/4 of the screen behind her if she lands the counter
the counter has a fairly sizable amount of active frames in which the counter can grab an opponent
Evasive Move - (ABC)
Shermie pushes the hair back behind her ear and slickly dodges the next move
similar to the AB dodge move in 98UMFE's EXTRA mode that replaced the roll
it will dodge mid and low attacks as well as jump-ins if timed well
Shermie can be thrown out of Evasive Move
Shermie can only end Evasive Move quickly by using Evasive Attack, otherwise the entire move must finish.
really great to bait an opponent up close, allowing you to follow up with a command throw or combo
slight chance you can go into BC mode due to closeness of input, but that can be mitigated by press A slightly before the other buttons
Evasive Attack - during Evasive move, A/B/C/D
Shermie comes out the Evasive Move with a side kick
all buttons produce the same side kick
if the kick lands you can follow up with a full combo
good to throw the opponent off guard by canceling the Evasive Move at range with the kick, which is an effective footsie tool
the side kick is negative on block
Evasive Attack is super cancel-able on hit
