Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
6	+5	+2	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=No Low Air-UB

2B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	2	18	9	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-5	-6	-14	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=Yes Mid Air-UB

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	12	15	12	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
HKD	-10	-23	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=Yes Low Air-UB
High Priestess appears as a big head and bites the ground. It's an amazing sweep with high priority, range, and damage. Works best as a meaty and can combo off jumping attacks.

j.A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
3	11	Until Landing	4	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+11	+10	+7	None	IPS=No Scaling=No High

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+11	+10	+7	None	IPS=No Scaling=No High

7	5	Until Landing	12	WIP
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
WIP	-	-	None	IPS=No Scaling=Yes High
High Priestess appears and performs a slashing attack in midair. Covers a very long range though you will have a hard time hitting some crouching opponents with it. Amazing air-to-air due to high priority.

Dashing Normals

d.5A/5B/5C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
7	3	13	4,4	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-2	-11	-8	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=Yes Mid Air-UB
Midler does a magical flip in midair that hits the opponent twice. This move becomes risky as it is unsafe when opponent pushblocks the first hit. On hit, it can lead to a tick grab or you can cancel it into 236A/B/C/S for a combo/frame trap.

d.2A

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	2	6	4	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
+4	+3	+0	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=No Low Air-UB
Minimally slower startup but the same amount of recovery as 2A, which turns it into an amazing combo starter.

d.2B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
4	2	18	9	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-5	-6	-14	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=Yes Mid Air-UB
Visually the same as 2B.

d.2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	12	15	12	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
HKD	-10	-23	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=Yes Low Air-UB
Visually the same as 2C. Long range plus the speed from dash allow this move to travel a long distance which makes it incredibly useful.

Command Normals

4C/6C Grab

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	6,6,5	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
High Priestess enters the opponents body and smashes them on the floor 3 times. One of the better grabs in the game as it does slightly higher damage compared to other grabs and leads to okizeme.

6B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
8	12	11	10	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-8	-9	-17	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=Yes Mid Air-UB
High Priestess turns into a spinning saw in front of Midler while she poses in place, hitting once. Pretty useless.

3B

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
5	2	21	8	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-8	-9	-17	SP,SU,TA	IPS=No Scaling=No Low Air-UB
Same kick animation as 2A but it's slower and moves her forward while kicking. Can be used as a replacement for 5B in some combos.

j.2C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
9	Until it hits the ground	Until Midler Lands	8	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-16	-27	-36	None*	IPS=No Scaling=No High Air-UB
A dropkick style move. Midler stops all air momentum and High Priestess transforms into a steel beam that slams into the opponent at roughly 45° angle. Once the attack hits the ground, Midler backflips away, which makes the recovery very long. Quite a risky move to use, though it's good at beating opponents midair and can serve as a quick overhead. *There exists a glitch where if you input J.2C on certain frames of your jump, it will become cancellable. None of these specific frames are right next to each other, essentially making this trick frame perfect. Very useful, but very difficult to do consistently.

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

High Priestess turns into an excavator and performs a quick version of s.2C. Quick Guard Cancel that covers a fairly decent range, though it's much shorter than it appears. Launches opponent away on hit. *If the GC whiffs, it has 2 active frames, and 20 recovery frames

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

High Priestess does a quick upwards slash which covers a slightly longer distance but is also slower. Just like s.5A, it can turn into a 4 hit auto combo.

s.6C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
High Priestess turns into a spinning saw that goes forward in a downwards angled curve. Hits 3 times. Note that if Midler is hit while performing this move, she'll take increased damage as if she was in the remote mode.

s.4C

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
High Priestess turns into a spinning saw that goes upwards instead of forward. Hits 3 times. It doesn't make a good anti-air but can sometimes connect with opponents launched by 236S or 2C. Note that if Midler is hit while performing this move, she'll take increased damage as if she was in the remote mode.

S.J.2C

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
Midler stops all air momentum while High Priestess turns into a weight and falls straight down. Horrible, horrible move. AVOID USING IT AT ALL COSTS. Hits 2 times, but only knocks down on second hit. Has horrible hitbox. While it can still cross up the opponent, it's unsafe on block and the second hit often misses anyway.

623A/B/C (while blocking)

Guard Cancel

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

High Priestess turns into an excavator and performs a quick version of s.2C. Quick Guard Cancel that covers a fairly decent range, though it's much shorter than it appears. Launches opponent away on hit.

Special Moves

236A/B/C or s.236A/B/C

Harpoon Shot

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
High Priestess turns into a harpoon launcher and fires straight towards the opponent. A fast projectile special. Low damage but can easily catch the opponent off guard. Due to the projectile's speed, this move can be very effective during projectile wars and can easily interrupt opponents. Can be canceled into from 5A, 2A, 5B, 3B, and 5C. Depending on the button pressed, the projectile's speed changes minimally, with C version being the fastest and by far the most useful one. Stand On version is almost the same except the recovery is faster. Good for applying pressure from fullscreen.

214A/B/C or s.214A/B/C

Motor Head

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
High Priestess turns into a car that depending on the button pressed, comes out of the ground and launches the opponent on hit. After deploying High Priestess to attack, Midler can freely move during this attack. It's a great move that can be used for zoning, applying pressure, and it makes one of the best anti-airs in the game since it cannot be blocked midair. You can also use it for frame traps against opponents that respect you too much or pushblock a ton, especially after 2C. Depending on the button pressed, the car will appear at different distances. A - In front of Midler B - A bit further from Midler C - Furthest away from Midler, almost fullscreen. (Fullscreen on indoor stages that do not zoom out while characters are in the corners.) Note that while this move is happening you lose the ability to block. Sometimes rolling is the safest option to follow up with. The Stand On version functions in exactly the same way, however, Midler is unable to move while the attack is happening and will receive increased damage if she's punished. It's best to avoid using this move because it's just not worth the risk.

623A/B/C or s.623A/B/C

Iron Wild

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
Midler summons High Priestess as a Weight that stomps down in front of her. Can be used as an overhead in between attacks but it's really not worth the hassle. It doesn't do high damage and High Priestess is punishable even on hit unless Midler follows up with an attack of her own, which in some situations isn't even possible. Avoid using it unless you're about to KO the opponent and need a quick mixup. The Stand On version has Midler recover the same amount of time as High Priestess, making this move even more useless.

236S

Quick Stand Activation Attack

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties

High Priestess appears and slashes upwards, launching the opponent on hit. Uses the same animation as j.C and covers a good distance. Can confirm out of all of Midler's normals, making it a simple combo ender.

Super Moves

236AA or s.236AA

Megaton Harpoon Strike

Startup	Active	Recovery	Damage	Guard

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
High Priestess turns into a harpoon launcher and fires straight towards the opponent. Upon impact, the harpoon pins the opponent to the wall as Midler summons multiple other harpoons and launches them towards the opponent. Harpoon can pass through other projectiles, making it a good move against zoners. Has good invincibility frame but unfortunately low damage. After the last hit the opponent is launched up where you can follow up with another move before they recover. If whiffed, Midler takes a long while to recover, so make sure this move connects with the opponent at the very least. The Stand On version is pretty much exactly the same.

214AA or s.214AA

Motor Show

Midler summons a barrage of Cars that strike from the ground one after another in different colors. Each car launches on hit and is air-unblockable, making it a great reversal tool. Though the startup is very slow making it impossible to combo into this super by any normal means, it's fully invincible, and if it hits, it will cause hard knockdown. If opponent blocks this super, you can attempt to mix them up, however, remember to not hit the opponent with your normals as the super is hitting them because that gives them a window to tech out or just fall out of range of the next car. This super does generally high damage, but if it hits a midair opponent, not all cars might connect. You can attempt okizeme after the super is done or attacks the opponent before they hit the ground. Midler is unable to move while performing this super in Stand On, making it not only much more risky to do, but also makes you unable to perform mixups as it happens. Avoid using the Stand On version as it's not worth the risk. Also, you will receive increased damage if you're punished.

Dinner Time

Hit Adv.	Block Adv.	Pushblock Adv.	Cancel	Properties
-	-	-	-	-
Midler crouches down and High Priestess appears as a big mouth under the opponent. If jumped into or not jumped out of, the opponent falls down into the mouth of High Priestess, getting chomped down for massive damage. While it doesn't have as many invincibility frames as her other supers, it can be used as a long distance punish, which is especially useful versus zoners. You can hit some characters after they fly out from High Priestess' mouth with some normals, though sometimes it's better to just leave them alone as you can perform okizeme after they land. If the super misses and Midler is punished before she recovers, she'll take increased damage even in Stand Off. The Stand On version is the same as the Stand Off one.
