Throws

Alpha - close, (b/f + C)

• Hard knockdown

• Can be broken

Zed - close, b/f + D

• Whip grabs and throws the opponent over her shoulder. Whip recovers from the throw quickly which can be used to follow up with a cr. A or a Desert Eagle (rdp+P) or cross-up jump attack, empty jump throw, or any other okizeme setup or option.

• Hard knockdown

• Can be broken

Command Moves

Whip Shot - f + A (up to 5 times)

• This command normal has Whip horizontally throwing lashes in front of her. The range of the lashes are at a half screen distance.

• You can hold forward while pressing A (light punch) to continue the lashes up to 5 hits.

• Whip is vulnerable during this move if it's whiffed, and can be guard cancel rolled if blocked.

• The last hit can be canceled into a special move (for example into hcf+A or dp+A/B/C/D) or super (but doesn't connect)

• Can be cancelled easily from Whip's close D (heavy kick).

Special Moves

Boomerang Shot - (hcf + A/C)

• Whip ducks down then aims two quick slashes at a diagonal angle in-front and above her. If the opponent is hit, the whip will grab them & throw them behind Whip at a full screen distance.

• Hits twice; the first hit's range is closely outside of her standing LK (B) while the second hit is around a half-screen distance away from Whip. The first hit can hit crouching opponents within its range, while the second hit can whiff on crouching opponents and a few short standing characters.

• Very unsafe on block and if whiffed.

• The light punch version (A) has faster start-up but has less damage while the heavy punch version (C) starts up a little slower but has more damage. Both punch version can combo easily from Whip's cancel-able light and heavy normal attacks.
