Gameplay Overview

Whip is a mix-up-oriented zoner who has some of the best range in the entire game. She's an excellent character to outpoke the opponent with and can use her Strength Shot to mix up the opponent from far away. Not only that, but she herself also has a very threatening approach game with moves like j.CD, j.C, and Hook Shot, making her a tricky character to defend against.

However, this offset by Whip being one of the riskiest characters in the entire game to play. Much of her kit is very easily punishable - whether on block or on whiff - and can make the difference between her staying on the offense... or eating a 70% damage combo for her troubles. Defensively speaking, she has next to no options. Boomerang Shot, while a decent anti-air, is VERY unsafe on Block and especially on whiff, meaning you have to use 2D or 8C if you want to anti-air the opponent and stay safe. Her stance cancels are also borderline useless since they recover so slow you can easily hit her out of them when you're up close.

Overall while Whip may take more than average care to play properly, she can be very tricky to deal with and will reward people who are willing to put in the lab time.

Whip's best position is likely mid position, as she generally needs meter to make her mix-ups threatening, but she doesn't deal the explosive damage that makes the anchor position noteworthy.
Pros Cons
  • Strong Air Presence: Whip has a strong air-to-air game with normals like 8C and 8D. Her j.C is also an amazing cross-up and her j.CD is one of the better jump-ins in the game.
  • Very Long Range: As you might imagine, Voodoo grants Whip plenty of range to keep the opponent at bay with. Whether you use moves like Strength Shot, Whip Shot (6A), or Talon Shot (3A), Whip can be a very tricky character to approach. Even her 2B, a non-Voodoo normal, is quite large.
  • Strong Defense: Normals like f.5C and especially 2C which can make approaching her quite scary. Jumping in is also a poor idea since she has 2D, 8C, and Boomerang Shot (41236P) to snuff you out.
  • Solid Approach: Hook Shot and j.CD are liable to keep you on your toes when fighting against her. Especially since the former can also be performed with 2147P to get the drop at any given time without having to jump first.
  • Jump C: The best hop cross up in the game, and could very well justify the entire character.
  • Very Unsafe: Whip is an extremely risky character to play. Many of her moves leave her at such a disadvantage that you have to be on your toes to even mix the opponent up from afar unless you want to be the one getting mixed up instead.
  • Risky Defense: While Whip can keep you out all day, once you get up close, she may as well write her will and testament right then and there. She has virtually zero safe (and meterless) reversals, her normals are on the slower side as a consequence of her range, and even if she does spend meter to get you off of her, it's extremely risky to do so.
  • Poor Meterless Damage: Whip's combo damage without meter isn't much to write home about, making her more reliant on meter than average.
  • Massive Hurtboxes: Like Falke in Street Fighter V, so too does Voodoo have a hurtbox that, if you hit Whip as she's using Voodoo to attack you, you'll end up doing damage to her instead. Most especially with any of her normals or both Command Moves that have her using Voodoo.
  • Awkward Lights: Whip can't really chain her light normals like most characters can. The only light normal she can do that with is cl.B, which has a proximity requirement. This can make light confirms somewhat awkward.

  • 4 frame startup makes this a fantastic tool in Whip’s kit. Use this for frame traps, punishes and hop stopping. Also generally a more favorable combo starter than close D, even if it does 10 less damage.

  • Both hits can be cancelled
  • Canceling the first hit leaves Whip closer than normal, which is important when cancelling into 6A*5, as the closer range allows for combo routes not normally accessible after hitting both of close D’s attacks.

  • Good for disrupting the opponent’s neutral from a distance. You can think of this as a second sweep attack with both the risk and reward toned down.
  • Hitbox leaves a very small deadzone directly in front of Whip, be careful using this at point blank range.

  • Unique 2B with interesting utility applications.
  • Has longer range and slower startup compared to most other 2Bs in the game
  • Your go-to Quick Max route: 2B > 3A > Quick Max
  • Whip stays low to the ground and pivots her back foot to the front. This moves her collision box forward just enough that you can use 2B to duck under an opponent’s jump-in, cross over to the other side and start a combo with close C once the opponent lands. Example here, using Krohnen as a target.

  • Another one of Whip’s most important tools
  • Outstanding air-to-ground with overwhelmingly powerful ability to ambiguously cross-up
  • Very large hitbox
  • Also comes with a very large hurtbox that extends pretty far below Whip, careful using this with a projectile below you
  • After a blocked j.CD, you may attempt to cross with this move by using a hyper hop C while you’re standing close to the opponent. Keep in mind Whip’s jump arcs are floatier than normal, which allows her to hop over most opponents even if they’re standing (May not work on large opponents; exhaustive list needed)

  • Whip jumps up and swing Voodoo in a downward arc over a large range.
  • Her neutral jump C is one of the best air-to-air normals in the game as it strikes opponents very far away from her.
  • Can also hit someone directly beneath Whip too.
  • Useful as a poke or keepaway. Can also be used to confirm into a full combo.

  • Very active move and disjointed hitbox makes this a great poke while jumping away or towards an opponent.

  • First and last hits are special cancelable
  • Any hit is Quick MAX Cancelable; usually, you should do this after the fourth hit to maximize damage
  • Look for setups to perform this move at a range close enough that specials won't whiff after the last hit
  • Always combos into 63214AC
  • If the opponent blocks this, you can probably stop on hits 2-4 and hope the opponent doesn't notice that you stopped early instead of going for all 5 hits

  • You can combo into this after 2B
  • Excellent pushback on block makes this a good move to create space with despite how negative on block this is
  • The pushback is minimal on hit, making it easy to punish on hit, so try to use only if you have Quick Max at the ready

  • Whip holds Voodoo in the Strength Shot Stance. Holding the button causes Whip to hold Voodoo and she can move back and forth. She can cancel the stance with D or let go to attack.
  • In this version, Whip hits twice, the second hit being an overhead. The overhead causes hard knockdown. Will hit airborne opponents with a different animation (still HKD)
  • The EX version will strike an opponent twice and launch them into the air. You can follow up with 2D. Hitting an airborne opponent launches them for a follow-up. You can follow up the ground hit version with the air hit version once per combo.
  • Only A version can be held and cancelled. The EX version (AC) will strike twice regardless
  • The first hit of the EX version has a slightly disjointed hitbox so Whip can anti-air a poorly spaced jump normal or whiff punish a normal for a full launch combo. Both are unsafe on block

  • Whip's Climax - She soars into the air with Voodoo to hit an opponent with a rising knee, constricts the opponent midair, and slams them back to the ground for a 4-hit attack.
  • Whip is invulnerable on start-up all the way to the top of the screen and can be used as a very slow reversal.
  • Despite having a lot more hits in the combo, max canceling from MAX YGW (236236BD) is about the same as MAX Sonic Slaughter (236236AC).
