Basic Strategy

Advanced Strategy

The Good:

  • Untouchable dash, good for dash-in attacks or retreating.
  • Can easily perform one of the few endless combos.
  • Good counter-attacks for punishing or countering.
  • Super does lots of damage and chains easily.
  • Very nice range.

The Bad:

  • Doesn't combo very well aside from the strong fireball.
  • Inflexible; it doesn't have many options, making it very straight-forward.
  • Special attacks don't do much damage.
  • Most attacks leave you very vulnerable.
