High reward but low range dash followup. Staple in corner BNBs, and frametraps from stand CD 236B. EX version is fantastic for pressure as you can create many high guard damage blockstring setups due to its blistering speed. Can cancel into 214B/D if blocked to retreat, or 214A/C for safety. EX version can only cancel into normal stancels on hit, another half bar will need to be spent on block.

Vanessa lives a double life between being a housewife and a mercenary agent. She is highly skilled in boxing and is able to KO her opponents with ease. Her husband and kid don't know anything about her secret activities.
Vanessa is a highly mobile rushdown character with impressive combo damage and suffocating pressure. The nature of her pushback and framedata make it so that her pressure can rarely be punished, and her mobility, unique dashes, and specials give her a good neutral game despite the lack of any projectile or easily applicable anti-air. Her unique tools let her find a situation where anything can be useful, and she truly seems like she has no weakness. That is, until she's on defense. Vanessa's defense is terrible. Between having only one real reversal (that costs two bars) and no real answer to shorthops, Vanessa finds herself having even more disadvantages against KoF's already great systemic offense, meaning you either do a wild option to get out, or stay locked in and hope for the best. Regardless, Vanessa's offense, combo game, and neutral are strong enough to more than make up for that. If you love to roll your opponents and don't care about having bad defense, this character is for you.
Pros
Cons
Great Offense...: Between stancels, speed, vision gimmicks, great lights, and her fantastic EX moves, Vanessa's pressure is incredible. While her mixups are quite limited, her pressure makes up for that by allowing her to make an opponent flinch with ease. With many frame traps, high guard damage, ambiguous punish windows and a supermassive toolkit, Vanessa's offense is nigh insurmountable without meter to defend with.
Great Hitconfirms: Vanessa's low pushback on lights and great command normal make her hitconfirms almost impossible to drop.
Amazing Mobility: As if Vanessa's run speed was not enough, Puncher Vision grants her an exquisite amount of unique, high crushing movement options to get around the battlefield.
Great Neutral: While Vanessa may lack great anti airs, her mobility, ability to ignore fireballs, and wide array of great buttons and unique specials nonetheless grants her fantastic neutral to get her game started.
Incredible Meter Gain: Vanessa's overall low meter spend on combos means she can put her meter to use where it's needed - to make her pressure and mobility as potent as it is.
...And the Worst Defense: Bad abare, no good answer to short hops, awful reversals (with the only real one being a 2 bar super). Vanessa essentially has nothing other than pure system mechanics to help her defensively, which makes defending as her as hard as it is to defend against her.
Awful Anti Airs: Vanessa's very slow anti air game means she lacks reactive ways to fight jumpy opponents and must pre-empt their actions instead. A very risky venture in KoF.
Incredibly Punishing to Play: Vanessa's whiff recovery on many of her moves is so long that it's very often that dropping a combo, pressure, punish, or confirm will almost certainly be punished, oftentimes resulting in you getting hit by a full combo for something that seemed completely random. Coupled with difficult execution and high APM, being 'asleep' when playing Vanessa is a surefire way to lose.
Meter Reliance: Vanessa relies on meter not for damage, but for pressure. Without meter, Vanessa finds herself with seldom plus frames, and has to be more creative as such with her stubby moveset.
Stubby: Vanessa's stubby buttons give her a sore lack of options in the midrange, and add heavy inconsistency to her gameplan at times.

Another two hit button. Just like stand C, the second punch reaches further only because Vanessa herself moves forward as well. Despite that, it's still a very short ranged button with little space control.
Unlike her other stand buttons it doesn't whiff against crouchers. However, it's a very slow button that even whiffs against hops which also leaves her wide open for a free punish since she can't whiff cancel it.

By far one of your best buttons in neutral. It has the furthest range of any of her normals while also moving her forward.
Despite the fact that it's very punishable on block, you can simply ignore that by cancelling it into either Puncher Weaving (214P) or Puncher Vision Backwards (214K) to make it safe.
However because of the KOF neutral triangle, hops will beat sweeps. Since crouch D is not whiff-cancellable, one single hop from your opponent will hurt real bad for you.

Horrible range and meh active frames on hop makes this quite mediocre when done from one, though still required in pressure situations due to j.D's pushback issues. However, it's a nice close range full jump normal as its activity and hitstun are favorable. Use this only for safejumps and pressure.

Definitely Vanessa's best jump-in. Good horizontal range, good vertical range. Your primary starter for far jump-ins, but be warned as the pushback on this move will cause many normals to whiff on block.

Raw hit on grounded opponent results in a crumple which can't be extended by normals.
Air hit results in wall bounce.

Just like every other command normal, there's 2 versions of this one. The raw version is a slow overhead which results in a knockdown.

If used during strings it instead becomes the sole reason why Vanessa's hitconfirm game is great. The duration of this move is long enough for you to tell if they blocked it or not. If it is, disengage with 214K or make yourself safe with 214P. If it hits, you get a full combo.
If you want to frametrap, you will have to do 214A4C after the first hit, as the second hit has too much pushback for any frametrap to exist.
Be careful when cancelling cl.C or cl.D into this from a jump-in. The pushback on heavy normals is far too great and you will end up whiffing this quite often, leaving you very, very, very punishable.

Main combo tool. Mashing punches during the duration of the move adds hits and damage, which should be done always. Unsafe but the pushback can make it an awkward punish.

Anti-zoning and combo tool. Vanessa lowers her body to the ground and travels forward before rising with an uppercut. Low profiles only projectiles while travelling. This is your main combo starter and zoner killer.
The A version travels almost half of the screen. Sees a lot of use in combos. Generally unsafe on block, but can be hard to punish at some spacings.
The C version travels almost the entire length of the screen. Much faster, but the slower speed makes it easier to interrupt with strikes or throws.
The EX version travels around half of the screen and hits the opponent twice before ending in an uppercut. Used for extending combos after [4]6A. If blocked, Vanessa does not perform the follow up punches and is left more unsafe.

A hook with guard point property. A version can negate projectiles, C version can reflect projectiles.
C version is a decent anti-air. Key point on decent, as its active frames and recovery leave a lot to be desired.
EX version causes a ground bounce which is useful as a combo extension. It also does massive guard damage. Hop C/D > cl.D (2 hits) > 6A (1 hit) > 623AC does 460 guard damage and will crush someone with roughly 1/2 of their guard bar left. Vanessa is then plus enough to dash in for a cl.D. However, there is a gap of several frames between 6A (1 hit) > 623AC which allows reversal opportunities.
If you use these during Punching Weaving (214P), they no longer have guard point or anti-projectile properties. They will also recover quicker (reflected in [] in the frame data).

Some low profile properties similar to [4]6A/C
Core to her movement as it cancels into a multitude of followups, allowing her to move around the screen quickly while threatening other options. Can also be used for some blockstring gimmicks, but will always leave you very unsafe. EX version is fantastic for pressure as it recovers so fast you are no longer unsafe. The followups from the EX versions will also frametrap and/or blockstring from many of your moves, so it's of utmost importance to learn how to use this.
Normally this has low profile properties. It also gains full projectile invincibility when cancelled from Puncher Weaving.

Backward command dash
Used for retreating, and for dash movement in conjunction with the forward dash. The 6A and 6C followups off of backward command dash move very far forward, allowing her to do some shenanigans similar to that of Slayer's backstep. EX sees less use compared to the forward version, but is still a very fast and safe runaway option if needed.

useful to cancel certain things and be much safer on block.
By holding down the button, you get access to Puncher Weaving (Keep)
EX version usually leaves you plus on block on cancel and can low profile
The EX version is much faster to recover and fully projectile invulnerable, and cancelling into it will usually leave you plus on block. It also has low profile, which allows you to go under a lot of fireballs and many buttons, but there are other options with this same ability and higher reward. It is the fastest of all these however.

High reward but low range dash followup. Staple in corner BNBs, and frametraps from stand CD 236B. EX version is fantastic for pressure as you can create many high guard damage blockstring setups due to its blistering speed. Can cancel into 214B/D if blocked to retreat, or 214A/C for safety. EX version can only cancel into normal stancels on hit, another half bar will need to be spent on block.

Low reward but high range followup. Doesn't see much use cause of its incredibly slow speed. EX version is useful midscreen but much more useful in pressure due to its blockstun, chip damage, guard damage, and frame trapping ability. Can cancel into 214B/D and 214A/C as well, but cancelling into another 236B/D on hit gets her very close quickly for great okizeme. As per usual, EX version is not cancelable into normal stancels on block. Canceling the backward vision version into weaving 4A/C is your main corner combo ender.
