Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-1	-3	-6	SU,SP,TA,CrC,5a	Air UB IPS on
Devo swings his arm up into the air. Almost useless but this can somehow be used for tech-chasing and stuffing out some approaches. You can chain it up to 3 times.

5B

YEET

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	3	17	8	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
4	-6	-14	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Launch
Useless in neutral, other than tech chasing. Can be used as an alternate method to get a KD, if a combo's longer than 9 hits

5C

Bitch Slap!

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	2-2	18	10	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3/-1	-5/-3 -18	-16	SP,SU,TA	Air UB
Your Go-To Stand-Off combo starter. Has 2 hitboxes, each active for 2 frames. Gives alotta hitstun and can let you cancel to specials and supers. If you press C and backdash, you will get this move but, slower and more damage, with an amount of 13 damage. Despite being a good anti air, it can be 0f teched.

2A

The ankle grabber

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	2	8	4	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+3	+1	-2	2a SP,SU,TA,WC	Air UB IPS on
This gonna be the glue for most of your combos, as you will use them to link your specials when you cancel 5c with a special. Can link to itself 3 times making it a viable poke to use. This is also one of his fastest moves, so definitely worth using. The dashing version is good for tickgrabs.

2B

Ripoff Spider Walk

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
9	4	17	6	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-5	-7	-15	SP,SU,TA	Air UB
Its 2a but slower, wider, and gives more damage. Useful only for punishing dio's s.off grab

2C

The Spider Ender

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	3/4	14	3+6	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
HKD	-1/-14	-15	SP,SU,TA	Air UB
This will be your Go-To combo ender if you're gonna set up okizeme. Gives a hard knockdown, but ips can kick in between the first and second hit Gives you an even lower hitbox.

j.A

J.b's Lame Cousin

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	5	Until landing	5	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	+10	+6	None (see desc)	-
Ok Air-to-Air Can be used in combos just like most air-normals. Use J.b instead of this. You can still use the puppet's s.off specials and 214aa after using this move and falling. The above applies also to j.b and j.c.

j.B

Sexy hitbox

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	4	Until landing	8	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	+10	+6	None (see j.a desc)	-
Usually better as an Air-to-Air than j.c, nicely disjointed. Unlike j.c, covers spots above you and in front of you. Superior to J.a due to its reach and damage.

j.C

Fuck Using Brain! J.cevo is the New Meta!

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	Until landing	N/A	10	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+12	+10	+6	None (see j.a desc)	-
Good Air-to-Air as it does good damage and it has good priority. You shouldn't abuse it though, otherwise you'll eat a good anti-air or punish. People who use this all the time without using it properly are called J.cevos

Dashing Normals

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

Does a chokeslam to the opponent. (Devo for WWE 2k21 When) Good Grab, definitely should be used. Can be punished by some characters. Deals crazy damage when you have low HP.

Cool Move But Risky to Use

8	15	27	10	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-6	-18	-31	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Launch
Same as d.5C, except launches even higher and does not cause knockdown if not teched. Can be cancelled to supers and specials. Can make blockstrings but they're punishable so pick your poison.

3C

Go make yourself some tea.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
24	4	18	8	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
HKD	-5	-18	SP,SU,TA	Air UB

3	5	5	2	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
7/6/6/-10	+6	+3	s.5a SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
This will be the piece need usually when you will do S.on related stuff like pressure, extending combos via plinking and gluing tandem confirms like s22c or s6b This can be linked four times and can be confirmed to s236aa You can do a dashing loop with d.s5a and s5a which can be used for pressure and combos as you can link a s6a 4x ala: Cloudskipper or s6b.

s.5B

The swiss army knife

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	5	10	4	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
6	+6	-3	s.5c SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Can do almost anything, but outclassed by other options Great priority in all directions, good for surprise stand activations It's honestly sad that a normal this good is used so rarely

s.5C

8	2*7	6*7	5, 6*2	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-3	-12	-13	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Doesn't have that much uses to be honest other than giving a surprise s236aa. Can give more hits when button is held longer. Maximum of 7 hits though. The first hit doesn't scale

s.2A

Toe slicer

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	3	14	2	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	-3	-6	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Can be used for tickgrabs, and confirms like s22c or s236aa, or even can be a tandem confirm if doll is close Definitely inferior to the dashing version Other than that, this move is mostly used for being the foundation of the tandem inputs for Devo. s.3a and s.1a move you a bit forward and back respectively.

s.2B

FEET TANDEM WOOOOOO

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	6	12	2+1	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	-3	-9	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Same uses as s2a. Still pretty inferior to its dashing counterpart. Mostly used as foundation for tandem input.

s.2C

Heccin chonker of a hitbox

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	3	20	8	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
7	-6	-19	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Launch Scales
Can be used as an anti-air. You got better options but its good at doing its job. Can set up awkward corner tech chasing Expect getting this instead of s22c when starting out with him.

s.j.A

Same as j.a (use s.j.b)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	1	Until landing	4	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	3	Until landing	7	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+16	+10	+6	SP,s.214aa	Scales
This can be used for making a blockstring by doing s.jb then s214x then mash then do 214aa. Its a decent air-to-air. Better than s.jB due to its damage.

s.j.C

The J u i c y

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	2*7	6*7	5 per hit	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+16	+9	+12	SP,s.214aa	Scales
Your go-to air-to-air while on S.on as it is the best option between the three due to range and damage. Although it is a pretty solid air-to-air, it has flaws, in which it has low priority and it can be punished. Has s.5c as the animation and has the same property as it in which you can add more hits by holding the button. Makes the doll travel a longer distance Can be looped The first hit doesn't scale

Dashing Normals

d.s.5A

No IPS loop hah

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	5	5	2	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+7	+6	+3	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Mostly used for pressure on S.on and for combos. It does well with its job as it can be linked with s5a to create a no IPS loop or you can even do s6b to tandem. It can be punished when dropped though so do it at your own risk.

d.s.5B

Just use s6b instead lol

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	2	23	3	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-6	-7	-15	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales

6	2*7	2*6	5	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-4	-5	-13	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Same uses as its non-dashing counterpart. Its has little to no uses other than it doing what s5c does, which is not alot. The first hit still doesn't scale.

d.s.2A

The T i c c

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	3	14	2	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	-3	-6	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Can be used as a confirm for s22c in which you can go for the tough 1f/2f or baby SC but practical tandem, or just use it as a tandem confirm which is inferior to the others mentioned. Used alot aswell in tickgrabs. Inferior to d.s.2B and is punishable if not used right.

d.s.2B

The JUICY TICC

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	6	11	2+1	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	-3	-3	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Same uses as d.s.2A More effective due to its reach and damage. Risky to pull off and can give you a horrifying punish when you don't know what you're doing.

d.s.2C

Heccin chonker, but now it moves

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
0	N/A	N/A	None	-
Isn't punishable. Definitely worth using because it can get you off of tight situations and let the opponent know that he is respecting your options too much. Deals the same damage as your s.off grab (a lot when low hp) Don't EVER throw the opponent towards yourself, you will eat a combo. USE IT.

s.6A

The Cloudskipper Confirm

3	2	14	2	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2,1,1,3	-3	-6	s.6a,SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Can be linked up to 4 times. Depending on when is it dropped, the frame advantage is different. It does its job as a niche tandem confirm. Drops on smaller characters like S.off Iggy, Alessi, and Khan.

s.6B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	2	16	3	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
1	0	-9	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
One of your most effective tandem confirms Can be done after ebony loop or even IAD with the simple s6a s6b to tandem. Most optimal tandem route aside from s22c.

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-10,-10,3	-11	-24	SP,SU,TA,s.5a	Air UB Scales
Works as a tandem confirm. You won't be using this in a real match. Can make some fancy and stylish SC combos.

s.3B

THE TWO-WAY MIXUP

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	4	32	4	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-21	-22	-30	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
This is mostly used for schmixing the opponent when jumping as you can do a jump then s+3b to tandem. I believe Cloudskipper was the one who found this confirm. Effective but risky to do in a real match.

s.3C

Lame s.3B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
6	5	36	10	Low
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
HKD	-24	-37	SP,SU,TA	Air UB Scales
Its s.3b but it gives a hard knockdown. Just use 2c or 663c when u wanna do this. The recovery is so abysmally long that some characters can punish it on hit.

Vital to his gameplan as this will be his main S.on pressure tool Can be used to give the opponent an unexpected attack to do babycombos like s5a s5a s22c, s5a s5a s5a s5a s236aa, etc. It can also be used for setting up tandem confirms like s22c or s6b.

Special Moves

236A/B/C

The pressure tool we all love.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
25/32/37	14/16/18	N/A	7+1/3*1/5*1	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
N/A	N	A	None	-
Ebony Devil's wake-up time, running distance, and hit count are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time, the further Ebony Devil runs, and the more hits the attack lands. Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, the attack is the same. Good for pressure, but can be easy to read when attacking the opponent up front from the mid screen.

s.236A/B/C

Start praying. You'll finish before the move will.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
15/20/21	14/16/18	29 on hit 27,32,44	7+1*(1,3,5)	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-12,-11,-13	-13	-15	None	-
Ebony Devil's running distance, startup, and hit count are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time, the further Ebony Devil runs, and the more hits the attack lands. The Stand On version of this attack can't be used mid-air. Devo can't move while the puppet attacks, leaving him vulnerable for a good amount of time. This attack is very useless so use the Stand Off version instead, only use however is in tandems for this will the sing for the end of a tandem to do j.c and continue the flow.

214A/B/C

Its UB time

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
42,46,52	2	N/A	5	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
N/A	N	A	None	-
Ebony Devil's wake-up time and jumping distance are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time and the more distance Ebony Devil covers. Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, the attack is the same. This attack hits high. Good for alternating high/low mixups and pressure.

s.214A/B/C

Its blockstring time

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
32,34,36	2	35,37,39	5+2*(3,5,7)	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-4/-1,0,0 (if mashed)	-5	-18	None	-
Ebony Devil's wake-up time and jumping distance are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time and the more distance Ebony Devil covers. Mash to deal more hits. The Stand On version of this move makes Devo unable to move while the puppet attacks, leaving him vulnerable for a significant amount of time. You can hold down and tap buttons to deal more hits to the opponent. It is sometimes useful during blockstrings as it can surprise the enemy, but doesn't get much use outside of that. It can also be canceled into the 214+AA super(If you cancel 214x into 214aa, it will make devo go back to Stand off while the move is performed)

22+A/B/C

Fave tool amongst the Japanese

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
22/24/28	22/30/28	N/A	4+2*1/5+4*1/5+5*1	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
N/A	N	A	None	Air UB
Ebony Devil's wake-up time and hit count are determined by which attack button you press. The stronger the attack, the longer wakeup time and the more hits this move does. Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, the attack is the same. This move can work fine as a very situational anti-air or to harrass the opponent that's right behind your doll, still, it leaves Devo wide open for a counter attack, so avoid using it at random.

s.22+A/B/C

The main source of meter

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
12	32-66/32-64/24-60	17	5+8*1/5+11*1/6+17*1	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-13/-7 -13/-7 -9/-6	-32/-32	-24	TA	Air UB
Ebony Devil's hit count is determined by which attack button you press. Mash to get more hits and get more frame advantage. Devo cannot move during the Stand On version of this move, leaving him vulnerable for a significant amount of time. Tapping attack buttons will make this move last longer and hit more. Holding a horizontal directional input will make Ebony Devil slowly move that way. This move is good for getting damage in. It can be used as a tandem confirm but it is either 1f or 2f depending if you start your reps with 2b or 2a. Can be cancelled at later hits into tandem for a mix-up and to just keep it safe, as even on hit this move can be punished. This will also be your most optimal tandem confirm aside from s6b as this will be used mostly in Stand Crash combos in which you will be capitalizing on usually in a real match.

236S

Capcom running out of ideas for good moves so the give us something bad.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
24	32-64	17	6+(2-11)*1	Mid
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-7/-9	-22	-33	None	Air UB
This attack is technically the same as s.22+b but it cannot be canceled, making it highly punishable even on hit. Mash to get more hits and worse frame advantage Despite Devo being able to perform this special in the air, this move is nearly useless. Avoid using it at all costs.

This move comes out fairly quick which may surprise the opponent. You can combo into it from 5c. After this move is finished, Ebony Devil will launch itself back to the edge of the screen behind Devo. Holding the buttons when doing this will give you I-frames for some reason.

A great whiff punisher, but can be punished on block when performed up close. Much faster startup than 236aa. Great to end combos with as it causes hard knockdown too. Can cancel into it from almost anything Keep in mind that the s.on version doesn't give iframes to Devo, only the puppet gets them

Amazing during reversals, hits for a high amount of damage too, as Devo can hit the opponent while the super's taking place. Also used for creating practical TODs or big combos, as it turns off IPS.

Heavily minus on hit, block and pushblock. Hits for more damage than the s.off version. Cancelling s.214x into it brings you to s.off mode and does 214aa. Used for the s.jb blockstring

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
N/A	N/A	N/A	SP(Tandem cancel)	N/A
Devo's most optimal tandems mostly use his 2B or 2A>2B. Devo should roll behind the opponent and jab with 2A for most damage. You can also use his Special attacks like Dummy Dive and Dummy Hunter to inflict more damage. For bonus meter, you can also use Barrel Roll Crusher to inflict even more damage during the duration of the tandem. Unlike any other Active Stand user, Devo can perform a tandem in the air.
