Gameplay Overview

Normals

Standing

  • st. A: The go to anti air tool to dissuade opponents from hopping against Clark.
  • st. B
  • st. C: Backfist, one of Clark’s best tools in neutral. Max and Super-Cancelable. One of the better round openers with Clark, as it is fast and reaches far. If you feel the opponent likes to press buttons at round start, this move will usually connect and beat out most non-invul/low-profile moves allow for a nice max-mode conversion to start the round. Beware that it does whiff on crouchers.
  • st. D: A long-range anti air tool that even hits crouchers. Has a big vertical hitbox, but does not possess long horizontal range.

Close

  • cl. A
  • cl. B
  • cl. C
  • cl. D

Crouching

  • cr. A: Special-cancellable.
  • cr. B: Special-cancellable.
  • cr. C: Special-cancellable. A long range ground poke which helps compensate st. C’s inability to hit crouching opponents.
  • cr. D: Sweep DA GAWD. It comes out fairly fast and has decent range for a sweep, making it a great tool to use in neutral for Clark. Because of its quickness and pushback on block, is often advisable to use it as a frametrap (eg. Cr.B,St.B,Cr.D). Command normal, special, super, max cancel-able. Most practical thing to cancel it into on hit is f+BD (step), as this opens up one of the entries into Clark’s Vortex game, will be explained more in the strategy section. You can also cancel into f+BD on block, but good opponents will punish it, so use sparingly.

Jumping

  • j. A: The go-to jump-in button.
  • j. B: Air to air and is mainly used to catch hops.
  • j. C: Air to air.that is used more to catch full jumps.
  • j. D: Clark’s best anti air button that has both long horizontal and vertical hitbox.

Blowback

  • st. CD: Special cancellable.
  • j. CD: Great pressure tool with a strong downwards vertical angle.

  • Can leap over grounded fireballs

Special Moves

Mount Tackle - (hcf + A/C)

  • Least Damaging follow-up and you get no real oki

Sleeper Lift (D.D.T.) - (down down + C)

  • (description here)
Flashing Elbow - (qcf + A/C)
  • Preferred follow-up as you get a hard knockdown with enough time to do a safe jump setups

Rolling Cradler - down down + B/D

  • More damaging than Sleeper-Flashing Elbow and better corner carry, however you don’t always get great oki if you don’t throw directly into the corner.
