Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

Devo swings his arm up into the air. Almost useless but this can somehow be used for tech-chasing. You can chain it up to 3 times.

5B

YEET

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Same as 5a but slower and does more damage than 5a. Pretty useless other than tech chasing. Can't be chained compared to 5a

5C

THE BITCHSLAP!!!

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Your Go-To Stand-Off combo starter. Gives alotta hitstun and can let you cancel to specials and supers. If you press C and backdash, you will get this move but, slower and more damage, with an amount of 13 damage.

2A

Stanky Leg

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	2	8	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	-	Low
This gonna be the glue for most of your combos, as you will use them to link your specials when you cancel 5c with a special. Can link to itself 3 times making it a viable poke to use. This is also one of his fastest moves, so definitely worth using.

2B

Ripoff Spider Walk

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Its 2a but slower, wider, and gives more damage. Not worth using at all

2C

The Spider Ender

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
This will be your Go-To combo ender if you're gonna set up okizeme. Gives a hard knockdown to guys in S.off, just like most (if not all) sweeps in the game. Gives you an even lower hitbox.

j.A

-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Pretty Neat Air-to-Air Covers Spots that J.C doesn't More superior than J.a due to its reach and damage.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Really Good Air-to-Air as it does good damage and it has good priority. You shouldn't abuse it though, otherwise you'll eat a good anti-air or punish. People who use this all the time without using it properly are called J.cevos

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-

Special Moves

236A/B/C or s.236A/B/C

Dummy Dive (Air OK Stand OFF)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Ebony Devil runs toward the opponent, lunges outward, and attacks with its teeth while spinning its body. Ebony Devil's wake-up time, running distance, and hit count are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time, the further Ebony Devil runs, and the more hits the attack lands. Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, the attack is the same. Good for pressure, but can be easy to read when attacking the opponent up front from the mid screen. The Stand On version of this attack cannot be used mid-air. Devo cannot move while the puppet attacks, leaving him vulnerable for a significant amount of time. This attack is very useless so use the Stand Off version instead.

214A/B/C or s.214A/B/C

Dummy Dive (Air OK Stand OFF)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Ebony Devil jumps up with a spear and thrusts the spear downward. Ebony Devil's wake-up time and jumping distance are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time and the more distance Ebony Devil covers. Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, the attack is the same. This attack hits high. Good for alternating high/low mixups and pressure. The Stand On version of this move makes Devo unable to move while the puppet attacks, leaving him vulnerable for a significant amount of time. You can hold down and tap buttons to deal more hits to the opponent. It is sometimes useful during blockstrings as it can surprise the enemy, but doesn't get much use outside of that. The Stand On version can also be canceled into the 214+AA super.

22+A/B/C

Dummy Cutter

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Ebony Devil takes a spear and spins it around above his head. Ebony Devil's wake-up time and hit count are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time and the more hits this move does. Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, the attack is the same. This move can work fine as a very situational anti-air or to harras the opponent that's right behind your doll, still, it leaves Devo wide open for a counter attack, so avoid using it at random. Devo cannot move during the Stand On version of this move, leaving him vulnerable for a significant amount of time. Tapping attack buttons will make this move last longer and hit more. Holding a horizontal directional input will make Ebony Devil slowly move that way. This move is good for getting damage in. The first frame of the first hit can be canceled into a guaranteed tandem. Can be canceled at later hits into tandem for a mixup and to just keep it safe, as even on hit this move can be punished.

236S

Stand Activation Attack

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Ebony Devil takes a spear and spins it around above his head. This attack is technically the same as s.22+A but it cannot be canceled, making it highly punishable even on hit. Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, this move is nearly useless. Avoid using it at all costs.

Super Moves

236AA or s.236AA

Junk Carnival

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Ebony Devil lunges forward with a spear and unleashes a flurry of attacks while jumping around the opponent. 15 hits total. Devo cannot move during this super as he's busy laughing at the opponent. This move comes out fairly quick which may surprise the opponent. After this move is finished, Ebony Devil will launch itself back to the edge of the screen behind Devo. A great whiff punisher, but can be punished on block when performed up close. The Stand On version of this move starts immediately, making it even better. Great to end combos with as it causes hard knockdown too.

214AA or s.214AA (Air OK)

Barrel Roll Crusher

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Ebony Devil launches himself forward identical to Dummy Dive without the running. 12 hits total. This move has a moderate wakeup time. Despite Devo being able to perform this super in the air, the attack is the same. Amazing during reversals, hits for a high amount of damage too, as Devo can hit the opponent while the super's taking place. The Stand On version comes out much faster but leaves Devo wide open for a counter attack if it whiffs.

623AA or s.623AA

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	{{{block}}}	-	-	-
Ebony Devil flies upward and spins around with its cleaver like a ballerina. 11 hits total. This move has a small startup time and starts out almost instantly in Stand On. There are no setups to have this move hit guaranteed. The opponent can tech out of this super if the super isn't close enough. Avoid using this at all costs.

214S (Air OK)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

Tandem Attack is a universal command for all Active Stand users. Devo's most optimal tandems mostly use his 2B or 2A>2B. Devo should roll behind the opponent and jab with 2A for most damage. You can also use his Special attacks like Dummy Dive and Dummy Hunter to inflict more damage. For bonus meter, you can also use Barrel Roll Crusher to inflict even more damage during the duration of the tandem. Unlike any other Active Stand user, Devo can perform a tandem in the air.
