OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplays

Isla is an extremely energetic graphic artist based in South America. Though she lives a life of solitude, she has developed a deep and trusting relationship with her phantom arms, Amanda.
However, when push comes to shove, Isla is no joke as she uses Amanda and her spray cans to mix up whoever gets in her way. She has a bright and cheery personality, but for some reason, she seems to really have it out for Shun’ei.

Gameplay Overview

Isla is an XYZ charcter who does QWE using ASDF.
Pros Cons
  • Pro #1
  • Pro #2
  • Con #1
  • Con #2


Isla is a highly mobile character with excellent pokes to complement her tricky approach options. Her high run speed and variety of ways to attack from different air angles makes her offense difficult to predict while her formidable pokes and unorthodox fireball can help convince the opponent to stand still long enough for Isla to get her rushdown game started. Isla spends meter quite effectively but isn't helpless without it as many of her meterless combos can end with a hard knockdown into a safe jump. On defense she has an above-average suite of anti-air normals but her full-body invincible reversal (dp+D) is rather slow and has a blind spot very close to the ground allowing some characters to low-profile it with certain moves.

Far C with qcb+B buffered behind it is an excellent poke that is safe on block and difficult to punish. Many of her air specials alter her jumping trajectory and allow her to approach unpredictably from the air. Jump CD can be canceled into air specials which allows her to add another layer of unpredictability to her offense while remaining relatively safe behind the long blockstun of the jump CD. Counterhit jump CD's can be picked up into juggles with qcb B from midscreen or dp D near the corner. Jump D is an unorthodox jumping normal which hits at a downwards angle behind her. This uniquely gives her a way to attack from nasty crossup ranges similarly to Iori's j. back+B.

She has an exceptional stand CD with ways to convert stray grounded hits into combos from almost any position on screen.

Isla's combos are highly versatile and she has options to spend just about any quantity of meter off of most situations to perfectly cash out your resources into damage and okizeme as the situation necessitates.

cr. C, cl. C, stand A, and all her jumping buttons besides j. D are good at controlling the air. Additionally she has an upper-body invincible dp (dp+B) which hits at a decent upwards angle above and in front of her. Her dp is somewhat slow which makes it more difficult - though not impossible - to use as an anti-hop tool.

Isla's reversal options are relatively weak with dp+D being her only meterless option with full-body invincibility. Like dp+B her dp+D is rather slow and susceptible to being low profiled by some characters. Her qcfqcf BD super has considerable invincibility and moves her forwards quite a bit before losing invincibility. Qcbqcb AC has strike invincibility until startup but does nothing if it trades. It does have full projectile invincibility which makes it quite useful for punishing fireballs on reaction from about half to 3/4 screen distance and leads to better damage than qcfqcf BD because Isla can juggle into qcb D afterwards.

Vulnerable to being jumped or hopped over but the opponent must input the jump before any visual indication of this move coming out.

  • Phenomenal speed and vertical range while also being cancelable into forward+B and any special/super. Cancelability makes it useful in blockstrings to continue pressure if opponent blocks and on hit can convert into high reward. Speed and verticality allow this button to work well as an anti-air in some situations.

80 Mid command 6 4 18 -1 -3 - 70 120
  • In many ways this button can be seen as a strictly worse option to close C. Shares many of the same properties (cancelability, fast, vertical) but activation range feels shorter (needs testing!) and vertical hitbox is not nearly as pronounced as close C. Does more damage than close C which makes it useful for punishes.

  • Isla kicks in the opposite direction that she is facing. This move is designed to be used after Isla jumps over the opponent. Strong combo starter but requires a hit closer to the ground in order to convert. (Remember that you cannot hop over opponents that are knocked down!) Very useful for hopping over an opponent who is crouching expecting a low light chain but requires some conditioning.

  • Decent angle for both air-to-air as well as air-to-ground. Isla's suite of air specials combined with this button's special cancelable property and long blockstun makes this an incredible tool for applying pressure on blocking opponents. Jumping version will likely be used more often to control space than to explicitly attack while the hopping version is especially useful for applying quick, hard-to-stop pressure.

Throws

All-City
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv

  • Given how useful Isla's C buttons are, this throw will be a common sight. Hard knockdown allows for a safejump that can leave Isla outside of opponent's (normal) throw range even if Isla doesn't perform a jumping attack. The safe jump loses that anti-reversal throw property if the opponent is thrown close to the corner.


Crossing Out
Damage Stun Startup Active Recovery Hit Adv Block Adv
- - - - - - -
  • Useful throw for repositioning self or opponent but somewhat higher risk due to the less versatile/forgiving nature of Isla's D normals. Also allows for a safe jump that leaves Isla outside of opponent's throw range if performed mid screen. Like C throw, if opponent is thrown into the corner the safe jump might lose to wakeup reversal throw if done empty.

  • Some low invulnerability. Allows Isla to access her air special moves in the middle of combos and blockstrings. This makes her pressure less linear and her combos more rewarding. Combos off of close heavy normals as well as cr. C.

  • Angled fireball that launches towards the ground at an angle from high above Isla's head. Angle is determined by button strength with A going short and C going long. Upon contact with the ground the can explodes expelling another hitbox on the ground for a short time and distance past the initial contact point. The can itself also has a hitbox which allows this move to anti-air reasonably well if done proactively. Projectile hits can be canceled into super.

  • Isla's "dragon punch" move. Does not become active until Isla is about 90 degrees in to her backflip which makes this move feel somewhat sluggish. B version is faster and has upper-body invincibility which makes it a good anti-air while D version is slower but has full body invincibility. D version is her best meterless reversal option on wakeup or during block pressure.
  • EX version is only upper-body invincible and even slower than both versions making it a poor reversal but allows Isla to act in the air after she completes her backflip. She can combo into j. qcf D on hit.

170/300 - 12/10 - - - -46/-54
  • Ground version: Isla launches herself horizontally full screen. Best use case is likely to end combos after you've already hit them with the qcbqcb+A/C super. Leads to a safe jump. EX version is fully invincible.
  • Air version: Isla launches herself horizontally full screen. Can be useful for catching people committing to jumps but most frequently will be used to end combos. EX version probably invincible. Usually side switches and poor frame advantage afterwards.

  • The purple hands extend horizontally from Isla for a bit and a successful hit leads to an animation super. Isla can combo after this super finishes. EX version gains some strike invincibility and full projectile invincibility. Useful to punish fireballs from about half screen.
