8	6	11	6	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
2	0	-16	SP, SU, TA	IPS=Yes Scales=Yes
Similar to 5B with more range and hitstun but a slower startup Forward movement and active frames make it work as a poke but you'll usually have better options

2C

Half of your gameplan

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	5	5	10	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
KD	+7	-6	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=No
ESSENTIAL MOVE Avdol's best stand off button, a giant poke with great priority and a low profile that is safe on block, knocks down on hit and whiffs fast Leads to oki on some characters While the priority is huge it still extends its hurtbox so be wary of couterpokes

6C

The wall

7	16*	2	10	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3	-4	-14	SP, SU, TA	IPS=No Scales=No
ESSENTIAL MOVE Amazing counterpoke that will stuff most things trying to get in The active frames blink in and out which can make it an unreliable meaty

-4	-5	-8	SP, SU, TA	IPS=Yes Scales=Yes
On paper an amazing move for Avdol, a dashing low that can combo into hitgrab and tandem In practice you'll only hit this at ranges where neither combos and you're left with a worse 2A

Very active poke/whiff punish that can combo into tandem Can delay the cancel to confirm the hit but doing so only works at short ranges

j.A

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

Fast air move with good actives and the best priority on any of Avdol's jump-ins Works as an (unsafe) instant overhead

8	8	landing	10	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
?	?	?	SP	IPS=No Scales=No
More damage and range than j.A/B and more priority upward for air to air situations A lot less hitstun than you'd expect so hit it deep if you want a combo

Fires an ankh shaped fireball across the screen. Both in stand off and stand on, the button used determines the speed of the ankh and the recovery: in stand off, it never goes further than half screen, in stand on, C goes almost fullscreen. For both, A versions are preferred, as they have the fastest recovery. Useful both when cancelled into and on its own.

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
Makes a flaming cross that travels towards the opponent. Explodes when either the button is released or after a short time. The stronger the button the used, the faster and further the ankh will travel. Potentially one of Avdol's strongest tools. The number of uses for this is incredible. Can be set up in various ways, and is generally unsafe to do in neutral unless you are far away against a character with no fullscreen presence. No difference between stand off and on.

Magician's Red appears and thrusts himself into the air. With stand off Magician's Red travels forward a little before leaping into the air for the B and C versions, the Distance/Damage/Height also vary with the strength of the button pressed. Air unblockable when hit deep, if it connects only with the outermost part of the hitbox, it will be air blockable. When used with stand on Avdol will follow Magician's Red, but they won't travel forwards across the ground first. In stand remote, Magician's Red will perform the stand off version. All stand on versions have invincibility frames on startup, but they run out soon after the hitbox appears.

Magician's Red appears and does an angled dive kick in which Abdul follows him down. If used with Stand ON Avdol will travel backwards a short distance while Magician's Red does the dive kick, this also activates remote control (see below). Hits overhead.

Hitgrab. Magician's Red grabs the opponent by the face and makes them explode. Hard knockdown. Easily comboed into and makes for a nice and flashy looking combo ender. No relevant differences between versions in stand off, and is unsafe on block. In stand on it is safe, and the stronger the version, the longer the range but the bigger the pushback on block. C is usually preferred, as it has the same startup as the others and longer range when stand on. After connecting, you can start your okizeme game or, from stand off only, combo before your opponent has a chance to recover.

Magician's Red dashes out and does a maximum of 2 hits with knockdown. Enters Remote mode when used. Being frame 0 lets this move be used as a meterless reversal, a rare thing in Jojo's. BE WARNED if Avdol is hit while you are using Remote Control you will take significantly increased damage.

Magician's Red counter attacks with a flame pillar. In stand off you can combo out of it if you knock the opponent towards the corner. In stand off, it has quite a bit of recovery. Great guard cancel, but like other great guard cancels, overusing it is not smart.

Abdul and his stand create an explosion which travels forward dealing quite decent damage. The startup hit before the superflash will lock the opponent into getting hit by the explosions. It does have some i-frames, but they are not many, and if the opponent blocks the first hit they can interrupt the explosions after the superflash by hitting you. It moves the opponent all the way to the other side of the screen on block, and allows you to hit them when they get juggled by the flames on hit while in stand off. The hitbox is quite a bit taller than Avdol is.

Magician's Red unleashes a barrage of flaming Ankhs. You need to be fairly close for it to do maximum damage. Okay okizeme on waking up opponents with either 2A or j.A as they get up. Slow startup, hard to combo into, but leads to very high damage. Mainly used for 50/50s after a knockdown.

Avdol sets a trap on the floor in front of him. After a short duration an ankh will burst out from the floor in that location. The duration can be extended by holding the button used. Has long recovery in stand off, and next to no recovery if you hold block in stand on. Both have i-frames on the set animation and on the release. It consumes no meter when placed, only when it explodes. Causes an untechable launch on hit, allowing for a short juggle. Stand on version has much less recovery and also gives you around 2 seconds of fully actionable invincibility. You can perform the famous Avdol "ghosting" technique with this move, where you repeatedly place down ankhs without releasing them, as the meter is only consumed on this explosion. You can use this to make yourself invincible for as long as you like, but be warned ghosting is banned in tournaments.
