SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy/Shermie

File:Characters shermie thumb.png

Profile

A French fashion designer who also plays keyboard in a band on the side. She doesn't have any martial arts training, but her natural acrobatic throwing skills make her a formidable fighter. Quite the flirt, she will often tease or try to provoke her opponents in the middle of a fight.

Gameplan

Notable normals:

Close H: Close H is the move that you want to end your blockstrings with, as Shermie's options after 5LLL are unsafe unless you have an item. After a blocked close H, you can do microdash 5S to get a grab, 6S which beats mashing, or her dash attack which will hit your opponent if they try to jump. You can also reset your pressure by jumping back and doing IAD j.H.

Far H: Shermie’s Far Heavy hits at a high angle and comes out fast, making it great for dealing with aerial approaches. On hit it can be cancelled into her 6S which can lead into her one of her Dream Finishers.

Shermie’s Dash Attack: Shermie's dash attack is arguably her best move. It's her highest damaging starter for combos on the ground, can hit the opponent out of their jump startup, and is hard to deal with when spaced properly. It also serves as a strong option at round start and can lead into nearly a 50% combo.

Recommended Partners

• Miss X - Miss X is arguably one of the strongest characters to partner Shermie with. Miss X is already a strong character to begin with because of her tools, and you gain access to two of the most powerful SP items in the game when you pair these two together.
• Yuri - You can't go wrong with Yuri. Her SP is also helpful in tough situations because it will give you some meter back in case you whiff too many special moves, and the damage buff makes Shermie a huge threat since she can do tons of damage with a well placed dash attack or IAD j.H.

Special Moves

5S

Shermie Spiral 5S File:SNHK Shermie 5S.png File:SNHK Shermie 5SEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 120 5 - - HKD Unblockable - - 1 Shermie reaches out to grab her opponent and on contact they get slammed into the ground. It depletes SP from the opponent like a normal grab, about 1 and a half bars. From here, you can opt to take 120 damage and your oki, or end with Shermie Cute. EX 120 3 - - HKD Unblockable - - 0 The properties of this version of the Shermie Spiral seem to be exactly the same as the normal version, save for the throw coming out faster. The damage is the same, too. This also drains your opponent’s SP like the normal version by two bars.

5SS

Shermie Cute S during Shermie Spiral File:SNHK Shermie 5SS.png File:SNHK Shermie 5SSEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 62 - - - HKD - - - 0.25 Shermie Cute brings your damage up to 182, while giving up your standard oki options. As the Shermie Spiral is a standard command grab, it can’t be blocked. This followup also serves as a combo starter with items that OTG, which include the following: Hurricane, Mine, Springboard, Time Bomb, and Wrecking Ball. EX 62 - - - HKD - - - 0 The EX follow up is precisely the same as the normal version of the move, so the choice to get extra damage in exchange of oki remains the same.

2S

F-Captured 2S File:SNHK Shermie 2S.png File:SNHK Shermie 2SEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 130 6 - - HKD Counter - - 1 Shermie leans in and if she is physically attacked, even with supers, she’ll counter by nailing the opponent with a nasty looking back suplex. Noteworthy that you can combo into her supers from this. EX 150 3 - - HKD Counter - - 0 The EX version of the F-Captured is the same as the standard version, with more damage.

6S

Shermie Plunge 6S/j.5S File:SNHK Shermie 6S.png Ground File:SNHK Shermie 6SEX.png Ground EX File:SNHK Shermie j5S.png Air File:SNHK Shermie j5SEX.png Air EX

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 120 12 - - HKD (w/SP) / -22 (no SP) -24 - - 1 After a dash toward the opponent, Shermie flips over them and hits them with a Stunner. This is the only special throw of Shermie’s besides F-Captured that can combo into either of her supers. As it’s a strike based throw, it can be blocked and punished. It is notable, though, that this is one of two special moves she has that can catch in a juggle more than once, though an item is needed to do it. EX 140 9 - - HKD -29 - - 0 The EX Plunge is faster and does more damage, plus the animation on the stunner is much more extravagant for extra points. Like the regular version, it’s blockable, and is much more punishable if it is, since Shermie slides forward quite far. Air 140 7 - - HKD (w/SP) / -18 (no SP) -17 - - 1 Air EX 140 6 - - HKD -17 - - 0

4S

Shermie Whip 4S File:SNHK Shermie 4S.png File:SNHK Shermie 4SEX.png

Version Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost Normal 162 5 - - HKD (w/SP) / -66 (no SP) -68 - - 1 Shermie flips back to hook her opponent with her legs, slamming them down before she lifts them to toss them back with a release suplex. Much like some other moves, this one will miss a normally jumping opponent, but if they’re already in hitstun or in a juggle state, they’ll get snatched in. Like the Shermie Plunge, this one can catch an opponent in a juggle more than once, but an item is needed to do it. EX 190 6 - - HKD -68 - - 0 The EX version of this has faster startup and also has some startup invulnerability, so you can use this to counter some things the opponent might do.

Dream Finish

5D

Inazuma Leg Lariat 5D File:SNHK Shermie 5D1.png File:SNHK Shermie 5D2.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost 350 13 - - HKD -38 - - 4 Shermie jumps forward with a flying knee. It's one hit and if it's blocked you're going to get hurt, but you shouldn’t need to worry too much as you can combo into it rather easily.

2D

Shermie Flash 5D File:SNHK Shermie 2D1.png File:SNHK Shermie 2D2.png	Damage Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv Hit Tag Cancel Block Tag Cancel Spirit Gauge Cost 350 - - - - - - - 4 Shermie's command grab super. The grab is pretty quick and like with the Leg Lariat you can combo into it. However, you can't grab someone up who's in a juggle state. You need to hit the Plunge or the F-Captured first, can go into it from those.
