Gameplay Overview
Notable normals: Far.H, Dash Attack - Far Heavy is notable for Love. This has nice range, and is good to use to check people trying to IAD on approach.
Love’s Dash Attack has some good range and a nice vertical to it while moving her forward a good bit of space. The speed of the move is good, too, making it a nice punishment tool in certain situations.

- Love slashes twice with an energy sword.
- This move comes out pretty quick and has really nice horizontal reach.
- It can be used twice in a combo, but the second time around, only the first hit will connect.
- If it hits an airborne opponent, it’ll groundbounce them.

- Love adds a third slash that wallbounces the opponent.
- Like the normal version, this can be used twice in a combo.
- If the second one hits, only two of the three hits will connect, and the opponent will be groundbounced.

- A rising sword attack.
- This doesn’t have much horizontal range to it, but has really good vertical range.
- The recovery’s iffy, so you won’t be able to follow up on it naturally.
- What’s interesting, though, is that this has a hit of armor to it at the start, when Love’s holding the sword in front of herself, and it’s strong enough to even stop a super in its tracks.
- If you’re bold, go for it.

- The EX version of this has a little more horizontal range to it, and hits twice.
- The recovery’s about the same as the standard version, so the same rules apply.
- It has straight up invul on startup, though, as opposed to the standard version’s armor.

- Love rushes forward to hit with an uppercut.
- The startup for this is very obvious, but you can follow it up if it hits, and it’s obviously pretty decent for use in juggles.

- This version of the Rush Heart is multiple hits, and becomes active pretty early in.
- It can hit up to 5 times, and the recovery’s great, making it great to add to juggles.
- Still punishable if blocked, though.

- A two-hit forward somersaulting kick.
- Despite the way it looks, it primarily hits in front of Love Heart at a low angle, so it doesn’t make it all that great to add it to juggles.
- The second hit puts the opponent in a hard knockdown state.
- This is good if you want to hit someone with a super, or you have an item to scoop them off the floor with, but otherwise, this won’t get much use.

- Like the EX Rush Heart, everything about this version of the move is better.
- It hits five times AND groundbounces if it connects.
- While the recovery of it is also much better, allowing you to follow up with other stuff, it IS punishable if the opponent mashes L or has an exceedingly good cl.H.

- Love slashes with her energy sword, sending out a wave that starts out slow, then speeds up as it goes.
- This move can OTG, so moves that cause a hard knockdown can be followed up by this.
- Very punishable if the opponent jumps the wave, though.

- Love comes down with a multi-hitting dive kick.
- This can hit up to 5 times, and the angle she comes down can let her bypass a decent bit as she goes, if it’s spaced properly.
- This has startup invul to it.
