1f jab. 'Nuff said.

1 (1 on CrC)	4 (4 on CrC)	13 (9 on CrC)	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+5 (+9 on CrC)	{{{block}}}	-	CrC / Special and Super.	Mid / Air UB
A quick jab. Can link into 2B and 2C on its own and into 5B and 5C from a crouch cancel. Works well as a close/late anti-air. Important note: 5A can be crouch cancelled into 2A, 2B, 2C, 5B (really important link), 5C, 6C.

5B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	3	27	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+1	{{{block}}}	-	Special and Super	Mid / Air-UB
A toe kick that moves Polnareff towards the opponent.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	2	32	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	{{{block}}}	-	Special and Super	Mid / Air-UB
Polnareff performs a spinning horizontal slash right in front of him. Very good horizontal range and priority.

2A

1f low... 'Nuff said.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
1	15	14	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	2A and 5A / Special and Super	Low
Silver Chariot jabs with the handle of his sword. Hits low.

2B

"It's finger lickin' good!"

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	12	18	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3	{{{block}}}	-	Special and Super	Low
Silver Chariot shows up and pokes the opponent's shins with its sword. Hits low. Arguably his best approach tool, coupled with the dashing version. Don't overuse.

2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	2	34	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+9	{{{block}}}	-	2A / Special and Super	Mid
Polnareff performs an upward quick draw technique with the Anubis sword. This is the only crouching attack Polnareff can perform while Silver Chariot is out. Does not hit low.

j.A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	3	Until landing.	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	{{{block}}}	-	Special	High
Jumping jab pointing downwards. Fast but lacks active frames.

j.B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	Active until landing.	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	{{{block}}}	-	Special	High
A jumping shoulder attack. Great both in air to ground and air to air.

j.C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	4	Until landing.	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	{{{block}}}	-	Special	High
A quick downwards slash with the Anubis sword. Very nice priority, good air to ground. Can be used as an instant overhead.

Command Normals

Throw (6C/4C close)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launch	{{{block}}}	-	None	Proximity Grab
Polnareff stabs the opponent with the Anubis sword and then kicks them away. Regular grab damage.

6C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	3	28	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+1	{{{block}}}	-	Special	Mid
Polnareff does a far-reaching kick similar to the one Chaka does. Very similar properties to 5C except it comes out a bit faster while its range is minimally worse. There's no reason to use it over 5C. There is one actual use for it outside of fighting. 6C is slighty faster than 2C on whiff, technically making it Polnareff's fastest idle meter build tool.

Dashing Normals

5A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	4	14	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	5A/2A (Link) Special/Super	Mid / Air UB
A slower version of 5A with 1 frame more of recovery. Still safe on block and even pushblock, but no real reason to use it over Polnareff's other dashing normals.

5B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
9	2	27	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	{{{block}}}	-	Special and Super	Mid / Air-UB
A much slower version 5B. Avoid using it.

5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
16	3	28	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+2	{{{block}}}	-	Special and Super	Mid / Air-UB
Very similar to 5C except it launches the opponent on hit. Can be used to link into 214+AA on some characters.

2A

Watch your shins!

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
1	15	14	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	2A and 5A / Special and Super	Low
Same properties as its non-dashing variant except with added forward momentum.

2B

Your eyes do not deceive you: this is a real move. And it's amazing.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	12	19	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3	{{{block}}}	-	Special and Super	Low
Same hitbox with 1f of recovery more. Comes out a bit slower but remains as a great approach, tech chase and meaty tool.

2C

"Hey intern. Make this move a low for no reason."

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	2	34	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+4	{{{block}}}	-	Special and Super	low
One of Polnareff's best approach tools, it comes out fairly quick and unlike the regular version of 2C, it magically hits low. You can link into 5A/2A after it (2f window), though it's very difficult.

Unique Attacks

Silver Chariot - S

Silver Chariot performs a specific attack depending on the direction held while using this attack. All of these moves can be used to cancel from normals. All of these attacks other than 2S and j.S have Polnareff play out one of two animations when used: one is significantly faster than the other, making them unreliable. All attacks from Silver Chariot are air unblockable except for the jumping variation.

5S

10	2	24	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+1 (+5)	{{{block}}}	-	None	Mid Air UB
Silver Chariot performs a low thrust toward the opponent's head.

6S

Don't be fooled by the framedata; this move isn't that good.

+32	{{{block}}}	-	None	Mid Air UB

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+19 (+21)	{{{block}}}	-	None	Mid Air UB
Silver Chariot slashes upward, striking three times and launching the opponent up. Works well as an anti air with 5A.

9	2	24	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
0	{{{block}}}	-	None	Low

j.S

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
13	16	Until Landing (Hit/Block)	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+18	{{{block}}}	-	None	High
Silver Chariot thrusts forward and toward the ground. It does not hit opponents too close to Polnareff.

Guard Cancel (623A/B/C While Blocking)

Delectable!

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	2	24	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+23	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid Air-UB
Silver Chariot performs a quick slash with its sword, knocking the opponent far away. It's the same Guard Cancel as with the regular version of Polnareff.

Special Moves

Ogre Slash "Kiren Zan" 236A/B/C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
9/11/13	2	28/35/42	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-8/-4/-12	{{{block}}}	-	236+A/B/C 214+A/B/C	Mid
Polnareff lunges forward while swinging the Anubis Sword. Every version of this attack has slightly different properties. Do not use the A version of this special as it cannot combo into either of the followups. The B and C versions each have slower startup times but cover more distance.

Second Hit (Low Version)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
12	2	31	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+5	{{{block}}}	-	236S	Low
Polnareff follows up with another hit from Silver Chariot. Hits low. It can be then canceled into 236+S for additional hits.
