Combo Animations
- cr. B, cr. A, dp+C
- close C, f+B, dp+C
Notes
Misc:
- j.A is instant overhead on all but the smallest crouchers, j.B on all.
- j.B and j.C are crossups.
- hcbx2+P (S)DM have invincible startup.
- close s.A gives frame advantage on block
- s.D gives massive frame advantage, enough to link far s.C
- f+B is +0 on block, and so is qcb+B in situations where the last hit connects (e.g. the corner or crossup). hcb+B is +0 on block although setting it meaty does not improve this.
- hcf+P and hcb+B create a free juggle state on hit. You can combo multiple hcf+P in certain situations.
- dp+P finisher to the SDM gives the most raw damage, but the qcf + P finisher causes wallbounce, which allows you to set up resets without sacrificing too much damage (e.g. qcf + P finisher in s.CD xx whatever only does slightly less than the dp + P finish). You can also connect a hcb x 2+ A/C (S)DM for extra damage at the cost of more stocks.
Changes from OG 2002
- Psycho Shoot returns from KOF '00
- New move: Psychic Teleport Fake. Sends an afterimage forward, but the real Athena stays in place.
- A version Psycho Ball recovery increased.
- MAX2 Psycho Medley (Healing Athena) heals less now.
