Normals

Standing

Far A

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
25	30	5	4	10	2	0	Hitbox	-
Quick jab with a playing card. Whiffs on crouching opponents, Decent horizontal range and speed to stop incoming hops. In 3.1, recovery is much quicker (4f), and is your go-to hop check.

Far B

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
30	30	7	3	15	-3	-5	Hitbox	-
This high kick can stop random forward jumps directly in front of Oswald. Whiffs on crouching opponents. Hitbox is deceptively high, so hops are effective against this move, although it is a potent tool against jumps.

Far C

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
70	70	8	6	21	-6	-8	Hitbox	-
A fierce card slash. Good amount of push-back if blocked. Almost interchangeable with st. D, MAX mode starter if you aren’t in range for close C.

Far D

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
80	70	13	3	24	-6	-8	Hitbox	-
More horizontal and vertical range than st. C, but a bit less start-up. More recovery though.

Close

Close A

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
25	30	4	3	12	0	-2	Hitbox	-
A quick close card slash that can be chained into cr. A, cl. B, cr. B. Special cancel-able as well. Also a nice move to stop hops, but not as effective as far A.

Close B

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
30	30	6	5	6	4	2	Hitbox	-
Looks like st. B but uses his knee instead. Plus 2F on block. Special cancel-able.

Close C

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
70	70	9	5	19	-3	-5	Hitbox	-
Looks like Mature’s and Iori’s close C. You will be using this as a confirm in his heavy standing combos, usually into J (or 3A, usure of notation we want here) You can also use this to stop opponents from re-hopping in from of your face, or trying to jump over you if they want to escape out of the corner.

Close D

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
80	70	5	4	18	-1	-3	Hitbox	-
Faster start-up than cl.C, and less negative frames on block but has less multi-purpose use as cl. C. Not as useful due to less anti-air properties, but does 10 more damage, so if you’re 9000% sure a jumpin will connect, use this instead of cl.C.

Crouching

Crouching A

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
25	30	7	4	8	3	1	Hitbox	-
A chain-able long range crouching jab. About as long as his far A, this will be part of your light confirms, usually into 3A.

Crouch B

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
30	30	5	3	8	4	2	Hitbox	-
Decent range for a crouching light kick. Can chain into cr.A. Your main low starter, typically into cr.A, although it links into itself. You can’t cancel this directly into 3A, so cr.A cr.B is better overall.

Crouch C

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
70	70	13	6	22	-7	-9	Hitbox	-
Oswald slashes the opponent’s shins. Decent horizontal range. Doesn’t hit low. Special and super cancel-able. Mostly obsoleted by cr.D due to its range, but safer on whiff although it’s a mid.

Crouch D

Damage	Stun	Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Hitbox	Invincibility
40 + 40	40 + 30	9	4(7)4	33	SKD (2nd Hit Only)	-18	Hitbox	-
Hits low twice. The first hit doesn’t knock down, while the second hit causes a soft knockdown. Great horizontal vertical range and can be canceled into his df+A command normal. -18F on block. A wonderful MAX starter on the first hit (even when blocked), a very long sweep if you let it finish. However, good spacing is needed as on whiff this move is extremely punishable.

Jumping


Damage:	45	Stun:	30	Start-Up:	7
Active:	8	Recovery:	(Landing)+1	Hit Adv.:	-
Guard Adv.:	-	Hitbox
Invincibility:	None

Description: A short-ranged diagonal downward card slash. Good for air-to-ground approaches at hop height, also great for tick throwing people.


Damage:	45	Stun:	30	Start-Up:	5
Active:	11	Recovery:	(Landing)+1	Hit Adv.:	-
Guard Adv.:	-	Hitbox
Invincibility:	None

Description: A high aiming kick that is best for ground-to-air defensive situations.


Damage:	70	Stun:	70	Start-Up:	12
Active:	6	Recovery:	(Landing)+1	Hit Adv.:	-
Guard Adv.:	-	Hitbox
Invincibility:	None

Description: A super deep cross-up slash, buffed in 3.10 to serve as a good air-to-ground with its increased horizontal range. This button is oswald’s main jump-in when the opponent’s on defense, although j.A and j.CD have their merits too.

j. D: Good horizontal range to use as an air-to-air attack. Although j.CD gets the CH juggle properties, jump back j.D is good for when you need to challenge a jump-in but you either don’t trust K or they’re too close for 3A to work.

Blowback

st. CD: Whiff cancel-able and crushes low and evades ground skimming projectiles. Hits behind him.

j. CD: Same angle as j.A but longer and deeper horizontal and vertical range. Best used to build up guard gauge/blockstun as a hop normal, particularly to put you in range for a hop C left/right during a blockstring.

Throws

2 - (b/f+C) close

Oswald grabs the opponent, then slashes them with a card. The opponent falls to their knees right in front of Oswald.
Can be broken
Hard knockdown

3 - (b/f+D) close

Pretty much the same as his f+C throw, but places the opponent behind him.
Can be broken
Hard knockdown
Both throws get you LP Q into a mixup guaranteed due to the hard knockdown.
