The King of Fighters '98 UMFE/Shermie

Normal Moves

Close

• cl.A: Same as st.A (no cl.-version)
• cl.B: Same as st.B (no cl.-version)
• cl.C: Special cancelable combo filler. Same damage as cr.C. Your main heavy normal for combos.
• cl.D: Same as st.D (no cl.-version)

Stand

• st.A: Whiffs on most crouchers and not much range. Can stop hops but useless otherwise. Cancels into A/B-normals and specials.
• st.B: 2 hits, first one is cancelable into specials, second one is not cancelable and safe on block but whiffs on a lot of crouchers which leaves you open for a punish.
• st.C: Covers an arc in front of Shermie. Very good range, speed and active frames. Great poke in neutral.
• st.D: A little more range than cr.C but slower. Good anti air but only if used early enough. Whiffs on crouchers.

Crouch

• cr.A: Fast but not much range. Cancels into A/B-normals and specials.
• cr.B: Very fast and ok range. Nice low poke. Links into hcf+P if close enough. Cancels into other A/B-normals but not specials.
• cr.C: Very reliable anti air! Special cancelable. Same damage as cl.C.
• cr.D: Good range, a little more than cr.B. A bit slow but active for longer than a typical sweep.

Jump

• j.A: Nice air to air. Hits great above Shermie.
• j.B: Also a great air to air and still viable as a jumpin.
• j.C: Fantastic jumpin. Easy to hit on all crouchers and just as easy to cross up.
• j.D: Another great jumpin. Deals a little more damage than j.C and has more horizontal range. A little harder to cross up with.
• nj.D: Most horizontal range of her jump-normals together with j.CD. Okay as a defensive air to air.

Blowback

• st.CD: Has no lower hurtbox, just as it looks. Cancel window is not generous so it's hard to confirm a counter hit.
• j.CD: Same great horizontal range as nj.D. A bit harder to hit crouchers with compared to j.C and j.D.
