Introduction

With Necro being his prototype, Twelve is genetically engineered to regenerate, form other shapes (usually weapons) out of his body, copy a person's appearance and skill, and is meant to be incapable of being damaged. The "G-Project", the secret project that resulted in Twelve's birth, was executed by Dr. Kure, and overseen by Gill's brother, Urien. Twelve is ordered to retrieve Necro and Effie after the latter freed and helped Necro escape from Gill's organization. Twelve is also being mass produced by the organization to create an army of Twelve-like creatures. Twelve considers Urien to be his father because of his involvement with his creation.

It's not worth it to deny the fact that twelve is awful - he's easily on the bottom 2 characters in the game. He lacks in a lot of important fields, and shifts his gameplan from what was probably meant to be mixup-heavy rushdown to hit and run, heavy on getting a lifelead safely and stalling away. However, contrary to belief, twelve isn't actually useless or unviable - his airdash is a great tool for approaching, mixups and stalling. his walk low profiles projectiles and allows him to go for anti airs more safely. his ex needles can tthreaten with a knockdown and oki opportunity from far away, and he actually has a few decent normals for poking, anti airing and blockstrings. If you pick twelve, prepare to play one of the most difficult characters to play, but if you like hit and run chars, twelve's design, or playing a difficult character, he can be a lot of fun.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Great mobility with his airdash, used for approaching or stalling Walk can low profile projectiles, only boosting his stalling ability Great high/low or left/right mixups thanks to his airdash and funky j.hk fireballs can be annoying for certain characters, ex needles can threaten with a knockdown from anywhere on the screen. some all-around decent normals, especially in close range

the worst damage output in the game No conversions unless standing close to opponent some of the lower health and stun in the game struggles to get knockdown once he does get a conversion, especially without a super very poor frame data meaning he has a hard time being safe or getting + frames While his supers are not awful, he doesnt gain much utility from them, except actually decent damage in some situations

Specific Character Information

• Stamina: 1080
• Stun Bar Length (dots): 64 (Normal)
• Stun Bar Recovery (frames it takes to recover 1 dot): 23
• Taunt: It turns you invisible for a while.
• Best Kara-Throw: None. Technically s.MP is best but it becomes cl.MP at ranges where the kara throw would be relevant, which gives very little bonus range.
• Standard Throw Range (pixels): 22
• Kara-Throw Range (pixels): 40
• Dash Forward (frames) / Moving Distance: 20 / 1,5
• Dash Backward (frames) / Moving Distance: 16 / 1,5
• Normal Wake up (frames): 59
• Quick Stand (frames): 49

Moves List

Standing Normals

s.LP - Quick, cancellable jab. Frequently used as an anti-air and cancelled into LP A.X.E. Can be crouched under by most characters.

s.MP - Really good button. Longish startup for a medium normal but amazing range and fast recovery. Used pretty much just as a long range poke since it's not cancellable, can be crouched like LP.

cl.MP - Good speed, good recovery, cancellable, scaling isn't bad. The only thing holding this move back is that it's situational since raw SA1 does more damage than cl.MP xx SA1. Whiffs on short crouching opponents like Chun and Elena.

s.HP - Slow, single hit """anti-air""". It's more like an anti-jump move because it's so slow, you almost have to predict the jump instead of reacting to it. Covers a good angle though and isn't a bad move. A good "shut the hell up" button.

s.LK - Fast, cancellable poke. Good button, almost never used because cr.LK is just better.

s.MK - Funky button. Kinda slow but it's super cancellable and superjump cancellable. This is Twelve's only SJC-able button and you can occasionally throw it into your pressure game for some fun loops. Just don't get carried away. This move is also his only true confirm into SA2.

s.HK - The Dhalsim button. One of the biggest normals in the game. Very good at low level but is parryable on reaction at high level and is also -2 on hit, meaning you're eating a super if you use this against the wrong characters.

Command Normals

b.MK	+
Kokkou	Air /
Kabe Haritsuki	Air / into wall

b.MK - Funkier button. Used for pretty much the same things as cl.MP except it's also sort of an anti-air and hits short chrouching characters. Highest damage confirm to SA1, harder execution. Weird, unexplored move.

Kokkou (aka Airdash) - One of the main reasons to play Twelve. Performed with two forward inputs while airborne, airdash opens up so many of the options Twelve has and enables his mixups and pressure game.

Twelve cannot parry while airdashing. An instant airdash can be performed by pressing up-forward to jump and forward to begin the airdash.

Twelve's airdash is a key part of their kit and it is essential to understand not only the benefits of airdash but the drawbacks as well.

More advanced airdash options will be discussed in the "Advanced Strategy" section (when I eventually get around to adding to it)

Kabe Haritsuki (aka Walljump) - Almost completely irrelevant. Can be used to mix up stalling in very situational occasions but is overall fairly useless.

Throws

H.U.G.	+
F.L.G.	++
T.R.W.	++

Neutral Throw - not good. Does slightly more stun that his other throws and is harder to mash oit of than other mash throws, but overall is rarely worth giving up the positioning and setup potential of his other throws. Also, you can OTG Hugo with Super if he doesn't quickrise this.

Forward Throw - Sends fullscreen and gives you enough time to airdash over and start oki. You can also forego oki to set up funny taunt but be aware that many characters can punish you since forward throw does not give you as many + frames as back throw.

Back Throw - Unless you have your opponent cornered or something this is usually Twelve's best throw. You basically get everything you would normally get off forward throw except back throw is safer on hit, allowing for more time to set up oki or the t a u n t.

Move Analysis

• All those sprites are taken from the site https://www.justnopoint.com/zweifuss/
• All Framedatas in "Move Analisys" section are taken from Game Restaurant , this means the Framedata isn't from the Dreamcast version like Karathrow site, it's from Arcade version.

Please note that the images show in this section are for the 1st frame it hits, so this means the opponent is taking the hit in the image shown on the move. I use the 1st frame of every move (except taunt, dash, jump, wakeup and 2nd throw image sprites) because you will see the maximum range of every attack (mostly of the attacks). Note also that those images are ACCURATE, they are exactly the first frame it hits, so enemy takes damage but they still dont make the "pain" frame.

* (If a parry attempt is successful, the 19/21/24 frame restriction is taken away and you can attempt another parry immediately)

** (If another attack connects within 2 frames of your parry, it will automatically be parried)

Gauge Increase

Move	Gauge Increase
Parry (High)	4***
Parry (Low)	4***
Parry (Air)	4***

*** (You gain 4 of gauge for whatever attack parried, and for whatever hit you parry during multihit attack)

You can buffer any motion during High or Low parry, but NOT during Air parry, also parry resets the juggle count (and thus resets all scaling).

Standing

LP -Twelve stretches his arm forward with a open hand.

A quick and well-ranged poke. However, it will whiff on most crouching characters

LK -Twelve barely lifts his leg and he goes to give a low kick.

Very short range kick. No pratical use.

MP -Twelve leans forward and swipes his arm across with an open hand.

Similiar poke to standing LP, but better range and damage. Unfortunately, this normal will whiff on all crouching characters. Very good for zoning and occasional footsies.

MK -Twelve steps forward and thrusts his knee upward.

This attack gives Twelve a good option to verify a super off of a mid-level hit. Short range, decent damage. In addition, Twelve can super jump cancel this move giving him a great mix-up (see below under Mix-Ups)

HP -Twelve morphs his hand into an axe and flings it at an upward angle.

Twelve's most powerful normal. The priority is great and works as an excellent anti-air.

HK -Twelve stands on both hands as he morphs his legs together into a huge sickle and swipes the opponent.

Good range, good damage, ok priority but horrible recovery making it vulnerable to recovery supers. This serves as a decent poke once in a blue moon from max range. Plus unlike MP it can hit all crouching opponents. Best used to juggle an opponent after a EX N.D.L.

Strategies

Overview

Twelve is one of the weakest characters in the game. His defense and stamina are low, adding to this is his lack of options to land damage without meter. Twelve does make up for this with his high mobility and his arsenal of decent pokes.

Super Art Selection

X.N.D.L. offers Twelve the most options. Resets, EX moves, simple combos and an anti-air. The gauge is composed of two average sized gauges. So upon executing a super, Twelve still has one gauge for EX moves. You may find yourself using EX D.R.A.'s and EX N.D.L.s over X.N.D.L. however. But unlike X.F.L.A.T., Twelve can verify a super from a low hit (crouching LK, A.X.E. (LP) and a high hit (standing close MP).

X.F.L.A.T. is a second possibility but landing a successful hit is hard in high-level play. There is some speculation with X.C.O.P.Y. since every other character can offer more damage than Twelve, plus the damage and defense bonus Twelve gets during X.C.O.P.Y. At the same time many characters rely on their super or EX moves to land big damage ala Chun-Li, Urien, etc. X.C.O.P.Y. does not offer Twelve the ability to execute his opponent's EX and super moves. Yet, both super arts only offer one gauge meaning no room for EX moves.

Additional Notes

Personal Action: Invisibility.

After landing a H.U.G. on Hugo at mid-screen, Twelve can OTG Hugo with SA1 or an instant SA2. However, this does not combo and Hugo can avoid both supers by quick recovering from the H.U.G.

Cross-Ups:

• Twelve can cross-up a cornered Hugo
• Twelve can ground cross-up a cornered Hugo

IAD (Instant Air-Dash) - Twelve can execute a IAD by simply inputting http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/5/57/Upleft.gif, http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/8/8e/Left.gif or http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/9/9a/Upright.gif, http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/2/29/Right.gif quickly. The game will register this as if you jumped and immediately pressed http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/8/8e/Left.gif, http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/8/8e/Left.gif or http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/2/29/Right.gif, http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/images/2/29/Right.gif. The IAD keeps Twelve close to ground. Due to the low altitude his normals will hit deeper, while his HP and HK will whiff every time. For there is not enough time for both attacks to fully animate. IAD allows you to create high/low/faint/throw mix-ups while keeping the pressure on. Upon executing a normal or not, Twelve cant act immediately upon landing from a IAD. Aside from quick reversals and supers, a blocked IAD normal is usually safe since Twelve will be grounded upon recovery. This allows Twelve to easily land tick-throws.

Disadvantage Match-ups

Chun-Li - Now your Street Fighter Anniversary Edition Strategy Guide may title this as a favorable match-up for Twelve. The guide will include that Chun-Li has no anti-airs nor a decent air game. If anything this is an overstatement. Chun-Li's B HP serves as a great anti-air and will stuff any air dash attack. Her crouching HK has a wide enough hit box to counter Twelve before he lands from an air-dash. While her standing HP can stuff Twelve from afar if he tries to IAD. Another viable option is standing MK. In addition, Chun-Li can meet him in the air with an air-to-air vertical jumping LP, MP or HK. She can also jump forward and hit Twelve out of anything with LK.

What do I do you ask? Luckily, most Chun-Li players will not be looking for attacks to anti-air. They will be too busy blocking to throw to gain some ground, whiffing B HP or crouching MK to get some bar. Try to rush Chun-Li the first round before she gets any bar. But play accordingly and counter-act any possible normal that will thwart your air game. If she is spamming B HP, land short with a HK and walk-up to throw or crouching MK as she recovers. If you anticipate a crouching HK, interrupt your air dash with a quick D.R.A. this should catch her off guard and hit her while recovering. Mix-up your game between normal air dashing and IAD. Mix-up your normals to, attack from a far with HP, whiff MK or HK to put you in mix-up range. Do not try hard to play a ground game with her by using MP, N.D.L. or HK. With that said, never ever attack a full stocked Chun-Li with standing HK. Hit or not she can easily reversal super you for big damage into the corner. Once Chun has bar be prepared to start flying around like crazy. Fly back and forth, high and low. Mix-up your normals more than before. Do anything to keep Chun-Li fishing for an opening on the ground to land a super. A Chun-Li player will not risk their bar to reset to super off of an air-to-air or anti-air.

Urien

Don’t carlessly AD vs Uiren or get fireballed>tackled to death into the corner. Use random NDL to get him from far away. Cr.MK and St.Strong are good safe ways to keep Urien off you and get some free damage. With Uiren I only AD maybe twice when they don’t expect you to, after you’ve stayed grounded for a while.

XNDL’s the only super to use on Urien as it can go through Aeigs corner-traps and allow you to possibly SJ> AD your way outta there.

Elena

She has great pokes, over-headS not over-head and just about outprioritizes anything from 12.

Try using the same bait tricks on her, like IAD HK to walk-up throw if she whiffs her DP + K

Don’t Cross her up

Don’t know the name or motion, she turns around and jumps kicks you lol corny I know, I think it’s a HC motion. But if blocked, you can throw or super her for free. If you anticipate it, it’s quite easy to parry. But if u block/parry and stand there like a fuckin moron, then she will DP + K yo ass

She can also do the DP + LK (whiff) game like Ken, slightly.

Don’t always assume your safe when in not point-blank range, cause she will KARA that shit down and throw your goo ass! dont have much else on her, no one really plays her lol
