Shrinks Iggy's hurtbox dramatically. Don't let the 10f start-up fool you, because the move moves Iggy forward slightly it's effectively pretty quick. Usable as a cross-under normal that can then confirm into 236aa among other things.

Can only cancel into 236S or tandem Extremely disjointed poke, can even beat moves like Avdol 2C Basically iggys only ranged option in stand off besides his charge moves Fairly slow startup and can't hit jumping opponents, but it’s still hard to punish even if you jump over Very strong button, use it a lot

6C/4C (Close)

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	17	Grab
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	Air UB
Knocks opponents down near Iggy, gives time for oki Has a long range, which combined with Iggy's fast walking speed makes this exceptionally easy to hit Very strong option to have, considering how many oki options Iggy has to work with Iggy's grab is unique compared to other knockdowns. On the first frame of waking up on most knockdowns, the only thing you are allowed to do is block. This doesn't apply to Iggy, meaning people can use frame 1 reversals to get out of his oki, and can jump out of his 2B and sometimes his 6B. Keep in mind this only applies to his grab, meaning any other source of oki will have normal knockdown properties. The oki he gets can range from very good to almost nonexistant depending on the character's wakeup speed. Wakeup speeds are different from Iggy's grab than other knockdowns. There's a chart showing the advantage in the Strategy section.

Dashing version of s.5B Iggy’s most useful dashing normal Very fast with a decent hitbox Useful after making someone block an aerial Fairly unsafe on block and hit, should usually be cancelled into teleport

S.J.2C

As if it wasn’t hard enough to anti air Iggy

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
10	until landing	28	10	High
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	nothing	IPS=No Scales=No
Divekick style move that halts Iggy's momentum Causes a knockdown on standing opponents. If the opponent is crouching they recover instantly and kill you Not a great move on it's own thanks to the bad hurtbox and how unsafe it is At the same time, it can be used out of glide if you get yourself in a bad situation. Even if it doesn't work, just having the move will make people have to think about whether or not to anti air you.

S.4C/S.6C (Close)

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
Hold 8 to keep floating and release to drop, lasts for about 3 seconds Iggy loses his double jump to have this You cannot airdash and float in the same jump. Iggy can block during this, but blocking an attack causes you to drop out of the glide. Pressing an attack will cause Iggy to drop a sandball. A drops it the furthest out and does the least damage, while C drops right below Iggy and does the most damage. After doing a certain amount of sandballs, there is a cooldown before you can use more. (3 for A, 2 for B, 1 for C) You can bypass this limit by alternating between the A and B sandballs. Easily one of Iggy's strongest tools, if not his strongest. First, there's the glide itself. Combining this with his airdash and divekick, this can make Iggy very unpredictable in the air, since he can easily change or halt his momentum. It can also be used as a fast instant overhead that you can combo off of. And then there's the sandballs. This is an insanely low risk projectile that you can just throw out with little fear of being punished. Just a simple superjump means that no anti air can hit you, and even if you get air to aired somehow, you just block it. The only real threat you have is if someone rolls behind you, but you still have C sandball and divekick to catch people doing that. Also, since you can block while throwing out sandballs, this move will just flat out beat every air to air in the game. And you can also use it on oki to give yourself time for a high/low/grab mixup. You might notice that the sandballs only do 1 or 2 damage, but that isn't as big of a problem as it seems. If you can get the sandball to launch, you can usually follow up with an S.J.B. And even on ground hits you can get an aerial or some pressure. And the sanballs also still do chip, so blocking isn't very effective against them. They can bring you down to 1 health, and if Iggy gets to that point, he's almost unbeatable. This is one of the best projectiles in the game, do not overlook this move.

Sand Crush
[4]6A/B/C

Your punishable on hit combo ender

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-9(S.On)	-15	-17(S.On)	-	Air UB
The Fool charges forward, distance depends on the button In stand on Iggy will also charge forward with his stand Is air unblockable for some reason The stand off version of this move is generally used as a quick, long range poke. It's a strong roundstart option and can catch a lot of people off guard. However, it does very low damage, the Fool has a hurtbox, and the Fool takes a while to come back, locking Iggy out of a big portion of his moveset. The stand on version is mainly used as a combo ender or a long range punish tool. Be aware that this move is punishable on hit, but it also has a good amount of pushback. That means some characters will have a harder time punishing it. It goes fullscreen, so you can use it to punish slow projectiles. Be aware that this move is very punishable on block, though.

Sand Uprising
[2]8A/B/C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launches	-	-	-	-
The Fool charges up, distance depends on the button In stand on Iggy will also charge up with his stand Is NOT air unblockable Stand on version is invulnerable during startup Mainly used as an anti air. It's a fairly decent one, but it does require a charge. The stand on version can also be decent to use when you're getting pressured, since it knocks the opponent away and has i-frames. Just remember this is also fairly unsafe.

Sand Magic

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
2	-	-	-	-

A teleport. 623 teleports him forward, while 421 teleports him back No difference between buttons Decent approach option versus some zoners Can also be used to make certain buttons safe like s.d.5c Punishable, so use sparingly.

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
Launches	-	-	-	-
A slow moving command grab. The buttons determine how far it goes When the hitbox touches the opponent, they are trapped and dealt damage until they are knocked away. In stand off Iggy can hit the opponent while they're trapped, in stand on he just sleeps. Can be combo'd into from 6B and a very meaty 2B. Not very good in neutral, so mainly used for oki. These are the main part of his unblockable setups, and you can read more about them in the Strategy section. These are also really good to catch people hold up back on wakeup. Don't use the stand on version.

Iggy performs his Sand Uprising for his Guard Cancel. A decent Guard Cancel with good invincibility. Because of it's hitbox, it can hit aerial opponents well. Has a decent range. Launch is techable. Iggy travels up with The Fool when in Stand On.

-	-	-	-	IPS = No SC = No
A big sand wave, as the name suggests. Goes fullscreen. In stand on Iggy will ride the wave. Knocks down mid screen, but in the corner the opponent can tech, destroying your oki. Very inconsistent on air hit. Will beat guard cancels a lot of the time In stand off you can get a decent 50/50 when they block the first hit by running up and doing 2a or j.c. Stand on version isn’t great, use tandem instead

Raging Demon

A raging demon, basically a slow moving command grab that does a lot of damage Very easy to jump out of, so it isn’t a great oki tool Can be used as a high damage combo ender, though it is harder to combo into

Tandem

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

Standard tandem, mainly used as combo filler and a reversal. For Iggy, you usually just want to do A B C reps, then roll behind the opponent and mash 2a.
