Notes:
-cancellable normals are close A, crouch A, close B, crouch B, close C, crouch C, jump A, jump C
-CD is cancellable into command moves, specials and DMs
-there exists a bug with Andy's f+C throw. It is possible to cancel it with BC, when he kicks the opponent on the ground. After doing so, Andy will be able to move through the opponent's sprite. You can use this bug to move right on top of the opponent's sprite, and attack, which will result in mass confusion as to where to block. In addition, you can setup some new combos when your sprite is positioned on top of the opponents, such as close C(2 hits), hcf+P, whatever combo after. In the corner, if the opponent walks forward through you and Andy is in the corner, then he can combo an infinite number of close A's
Strategies
- Andy does not really need much stock, since his supers are not that useful, and his bread and butter combos do a lot of damage. Thus, it's recommended to put Andy as the first character. He also benefits as the first character in other ways.
- In the corner, doing close C(1), qcb+C puts the opponent into block stun. It is difficult to guard roll this move since Andy gets pushed back and the opponent's guard roll will make him roll back into the ball. It can be guard rolled on the first hit and punished. Thus, it is best to use this when the opponent does not have any stock, which will guarantee 5 ticks of chip damage, and is not punishable in any way, if they blocked the close C(1). Since Andy will be the first character, the opponent won't have stock, so this strategy could be used more often.
