Normals

5A

1f jab. 'Nuff said.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
1	4	13 (9)	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+5 (+9)	{{{block}}}	-	CR, SP, SU	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}}}	-	SP, SU	Mid Air-UB
A toe kick that moves Polnareff towards the opponent.

5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	2	32	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU	Mid Air-UB
Polnareff performs a spinning horizontal slash right in front of him. Has a very good horizontal range and priority, so it's good as a whiff punish, but also easy to punish on whiff due to recovery.

2A

1f low... 'Nuff said.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
1	15	14	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	2A, 5A, SP, SU	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}}}	-	SP, SU	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, SP, SU	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}}}	-	SP	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}}}	-	SP	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}}}	-	SP	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)

At least it looks cool.

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

d.5A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	4	14	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	{{{block}}}	-	2A, 5A, SP, SU	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.

d.5B

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

d.5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
16	3	28	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+2	{{{block}}}	-	SP, SU	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.

d.2A

Watch your shins!

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

d.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}}}	-	SP, SU	Low
Same hitbox with 1f of recovery more. Comes out a bit slower but remains as a great approach, tech chase and meaty tool.

d.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}}}	-	SP, SU	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

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	2	24	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+1 (+5)	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid Air UB
Silver Chariot performs a low thrust toward the opponent's head.

6S

Absolute garbage move.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
38	4	23	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+32	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid Air-UB
Silver Chariot appears and after a lengthy delay, slashes forward.

4S

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	6	44	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+19 (+21)	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid Air UB
Silver Chariot slashes upward, striking three times and launching the opponent up. Works well as an anti air with 5A.

2S

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
9	2	24	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
0	{{{block}}}	-	-	Low
Silver Chariot thrusts toward the ground. Hits low; mainly used for stand crash setups.

j.S

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
13	16	Until Landing (Hit/Block)	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+18	{{{block}}}	-	-	High
Silver Chariot thrusts forward and toward the ground. It does not hit opponents too close to Polnareff. Used as a mixup tool.

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

Delectable!

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	2	34	-	-
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. Note that if close enough you can convert this into a full bnb against weapon stand users while they're s.on.

Special Moves

Ogre Slash "Kiren Zan" 236 + A/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. The B version is also the only one that beats mashing when following up with 214 + A/B/C, due to being the most +.

236 + A/B/C > 236 + A/B/C Second Hit (Low Version)

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

236 + A/B/C > 214 + A/B/C Second Hit (Low Version)

We heard you were blocking low...

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
20	2	25	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+11	{{{block}}}	-	236 + S	High
Polnareff follows up with another, slower hit from Silver Chariot. Hits high. This followup does not combo, however, it's overhead and can be useful during mixup game in case the attack was blocked. If it connects, you earn a combo reset with 2B/5B/5C.

Rekka 50/50

Here's a little trick that you can do, although it's NOT recommended to do often since it depends on how you condition the opponent. You can create a 50/50 situation with the low follow-up of the rekka and the overhead rekka.

236+B>214+A (no delay): Beats jumpouts (except 2 frame prejumps), overhead mix, gets beaten by most 5A/2A's.

236+B>236+B (minimal delay): Beats jumpouts, beats mashing, low mix but can be fuzzied easily.

236+B>236+B (long delay): Same as 214+A except it's a low mix.

Remember to use them sparingly as you can get punished, but these can lead to a reset which means the number of repetitions in the loop resets, so does scaling.

Double Sword Mastery

623 + A/B/C

A Version

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	22	22	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+6	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid
Chariot spins his own sword. Fastest and safest option. Least Damage. Launches. This version can work fine as an anti-air, but it cannot be abused.

Double Sword Mastery

623 + A/B/C

B Version

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
9	23	28	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+5	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid
Polnareff spins the Anubis Sword. Slower startup and recovery than the A version but more damage. Launches.

Double Sword Mastery

623 + A/B/C

C Version

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
15 / 10	20 / 26	10 / 32	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+2	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid
Combination of the A and B version. Similar start-up of the A Version but, the recovery of the B Version when it ends. Most Damage. Does not launch unlike the other versions. Only safe combo ender against Stand On opponents. To clarify the FD here: 623 + C has two sets of active frames, seperated by a 10f gap. (20-10-26)

I've Learned It! "Oboetazo!"

214 + A/B/C

B Version

If you're infused with yomi power...

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	19	15	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
KND	{{{block}}}	-	-	Counter
Black Polnareff waves his sword right in front of him, preparing to counter any incoming physical attack. Once countered, if the same attack is blocked, any button pressed during the blocking animation will let you cancel the blockstun and hit the opponent. This special is shared by all Anubis Stand users.

Chariot Spit 236 + S

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	20	55	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+50	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid
Silver Chariot appears, stabbing the air in front of him repeatedly at lightning speed. After a short startup, Polnareff can move independently while this attack is happening and attack the opponent on his own. It nets you an impressive amount of meter if it hits many times. This attack is insanely easy to punish with a super in case it was blocked or whiffed, so watch out when you use it. The FD here was measured from point blank on DIO, meaning you might be way less + than it states here. Then again, you'll never use it on its own anyway. By its own it only works for oki.

Super Moves

Madness Blade 236 + AA

Pol's super, now with severely downgraded range!

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
15	2	39	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
KND	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid Wallbounce
Silver Chariot strikes the air in front of him in an upward slash much like the normal Polnareff's super. If it contacts, Silver chariot stabs the opponent numerous times and then delivers a knockout blow with the Anubis sword. While similar in appearance to regular Polnareff's super, it has a much smaller hitbox, making it a very poor anti-air. The damage scaling makes this super not too good for shorter combos, but it's easier to combo into than 214+AA in some particular situations. Unsafe on block.

Invincible Slash 214 + AA

REVEL IN I-FRAMES

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
26	10	23	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Untechable Launch	{{{block}}}	-	-	Mid Air-UB
Polnareff summons Silver Chariot and poses for a long period of time. After a while Silver Chariot rushes forward, delivering a thrust to the opponent. If it connects, Black Polnareff follows it up with a devastating high damage slash. While this super's startup time is very slow, it's fully invincible until slightly after the moment Silver Chariot starts lunging forward. It is also air-unblockable and can combo off several normals. At a range it is mostly safe. It can be punished when pushblocked early at point blank though, and Silver Chariot is vulnerable during the move's recovery, so whiffing this super can cost you some health. This super is also highly punishable ON HIT if performed in the corner against some characters with a fast wakeup time. Even more so when comboed into, due to this super being subject to launcher scaling, causing the opponent to wake up much quicker than if done raw.
