30 Mid 50 Spc/OD/KA 5 2 8 15 5 3 -

Cancellable into Lights.
cl.L is 5 frames and hits crouchers which is what you need a close jab to be. Marginally worse recovery and plus frames compared to other jabs, but its no big deal, cl.L is primarily defensive.


cl.M

65 Mid 100 Spc/OD/KA 7 3 6 16 10 7 -

Forces stand; cancellable into f.M.
A normal with a ton of potential: incredibly plus on block, even more incredibly plus on hit.
cl.M, cr.H On hit allows you to get a sweep without spending S1.1 cooldown. And on block its a frame trap.
cl.M is primarily limited by Crow's awful walk speed preventing him from walking up and looping it.


cl.H

Forces stand.
This normal has weaker than average frame data for Crow. It’s combo filler. Unreliable anti-air due to being a proximity normal.

30 Mid (Whiffs crouching) 50 Spc/OD/KA 5 2 9 16 4 2 -

Crow's standing jab is one of the best in the game, having the standard startup of 5 frames, it stands out as the second longest range jab in the game. This means that for Crow -6 moves are almost always in punish range. Being able to consistently convert from a -6 scenario is invaluable in some matchups, though the only option to convert is S2.3.

25+25+25 Mid 30+30+40 OD/KA 8 9 11 28 3 0 -

Hits up to 3 times, 2 frames apart. This move is very niche. It can be used occasionally to break armour or counter poke, but the long active time is prone to getting jumped.


f.H

110 Mid 200 None 12 3 18 33 2 -2 -

Massive poke button, often Crow's best choice to control horizontal space on the screen. Throwing f.H with disks on screen allows Crow to occupy an absurd amount of screen space.

1 frame slower than stand jab but maintains good range and hits low, great for tick setups as well as an interrupt where f.L may whiff on crouchers. Crow possesses other great low options, and f.L is more useful in punishes, which leaves cr.L with infrequent use.


cr.M

Similar to cl.M; a great move to keep up pressure and plus frames. While possessing slightly worse numbers than cl.M, cr.M hits low and is not gated by being a proximity normal. Great pressure normal often used to cover space that the opponent could be moving to.
cr.M, cr.M xx S2.1 Thanks to a link into itself, this is Crow's most damaging low option.


cr.H

100 Low 150 Spc/OD/KA 9 2 (0) 6 17 34 sweep -5 -

This is Crow's most important normal and is a very unique move. When Crow presses cr.H, he summons a 3 hit projectile in front of him as well as the sweep hitbox. when used on a non-blocking opponent, this will act like a regular sweep and simply knock the opponent down. However on a blocking opponent (or an opponent who was out of range of the first hit) they will continue to be hit by the following projectile hitboxes. The initial sweep can also be canceled into a special, when doing this the projectile hits will still come out, causing 18 frames of block stun and this is a cornerstone of Crow’s pressure game.
cr.H xx S1.1 when the first hit is cancelled to disk on block, this string is safe and lets you put a disk on screen.

Combos to jS2.1 in juggles and on ground. Hits rising vs Vlad, letting you fuzzy with a forward jump.
dj.M xx jS2.1 has niche usage as an armour breaking jump-in.

Your go-to jump in normal, good range and frames, learning how to get this move as deep as possible is key to Crow's fuzzy, his strongest tool offensively.
Jump back dj.H can also let you cover a lot of space defensively.

Hits rising vs every character, allowing you to fuzzy after a j.H. This is Crow's most rewarding mixup and starter.
nj.M allows Crow to have on of the scariest throw call outs in the game, any jump throw gives him full combo which Crow otherwise has difficulty finding.

hits up to 3 times, 2 frames apart
This move is huge: effective at holding ground and air-to-airing. Being the only multi-hit air normal in the game it naturallty breaks armour. It can also prove tough to block as all 3 hits hit overhead, and landing early can make the move only hit once or twice.

Crow's standing overhead plus on block and hit, but doesn't naturally combo, without a hit from S1.1. Crow has better tools for mixups than this, use this very sparingly.

Hits up to 3 times, 2 frames apart; cancelable on last hit only. Crow's anti-air normal, not the best hitbox, bad damage, mediocre speed, no upper body I-frames, BUT it's the best he can do. This move tends to fallout and do 25 damage or trade, but it's often better than blocking a jump-in.

Forward travelling command normal that appears to jump but hits low. Some people might fall for this move a couple of times, but throwing it in neutral is mostly just a gimmick. This is one of Crow's few accesses to a free juggle state, so its useful for maintaining juggles. This move makes Crow’s arms invincible, which means it clean hits some pokes e.g. Crow f.H
The most common use for the move outside juggles is chasing a backdash happy opponent.

Throws

Forward Throw

Damage Guard Stun Cancel Startup Active Recovery Total Adv Hit Adv Block Cooldown
125 Unblk 150 None 5 3 27 35 - - -

Crow's throws are flipped compared to most characters. His Forward Throw cannot be KA cancelled, but does more damage than back throw. Mid screen, Crow gets no oki, but in the corner a Forward Throw gives Crow a safe jump vs quick rise.

Back Throw

Damage Guard Stun Cancel Startup Active Recovery Total Adv Hit Adv Block Cooldown
20+30+50 Unblk 0+38+0 KnAdv 5 3 27 35 - - -

Back throw can be cancelled, but isn't worth it without S2.2. There is a bug that makes Back Throw do 0 stun on the second hit, which makes it far less rewarding. Back throw does give oki midscreen, as a manually timed safe jump. The bug makes this move far worse than it should be.

Devil's Halo Charged Toss 30!+30!+40! Mid (Whiffs crouching) 50!+50!+50! OD/KA 8 1 22 31 22 18 -

Crow's only option for his first special slot. S1.1 (or disk) is a chargeable projectile that can be thrown at three angles: close, neutral, and far. An uncharged disk hits once, while a charged disk hits 3 times. Far S1.1 travels just under a fullscreen distance. When used in combos, far S1.1 is typically the disk of choice, giving the most frame advantage.
Close S1.1 is a great defensive tool creating a hitbox to cover space in front of you, protecting Crow from any forward advancement. This only works if you don't get knocked down or hit by super.
Charged disks have a special property of whiffing on crouchers on the way up, so no infinite blockstrings.

S2.1

Core Puncture

Damage Guard Stun Cancel Startup Active Recovery Total Adv Hit Adv Block Cooldown
115 Mid 200 None 16 4 20 40 sweep -3 -
Puncture can combo from heavys and mediums, but not lights. Its unique benefit compared to the other specials is that it is safe on block, this means fishing for a low crush with puncture is very strong.
Pros:
  • Better midscreen damage than S2.3
  • Low crush carries in some matchups
Cons:
  • Not the best best damage, the worst in corner
  • No jab conversion

S2.2

50!+60! Mid 100!+100! OD/KA 19 2 (13) 2 32 68 ground bounce / wall bounce -15 -
S2.2 is a big damage powerhit that makes Crow's combos do much more damage, and especially a boon to Crow's juggles OD and Back Throw.
The drawback of S2.2 is you sacrifice combos from cr.M and all lights.
Pros:
  • Damage
Cons:
  • Requires deeper combo knowledge and execution
  • Sacrifice common punishes
  • No neutral usage

S2.3

Dire Sting

Damage Guard Stun Cancel Startup Active Recovery Total Adv Hit Adv Block Cooldown
100 Mid 200 None 12 2 27 41 launch -10 -
S2.3 can combo from every strength normal.
st.L xx S2.3 means Crow can punish -6/-7 moves with a knockdown.
S2.3 cannot be KA cancelled, but you do get meterless follow ups in the corner, normally just cr.H.
Pros:
  • Real punish of -6/-7 moves
  • Opens up corner combo routes
  • Can always convert from pressure regardless of button used
  • Best Oki
Cons:
  • Lowest damage when outside the corner

can attack/block after 6 landing frames, and walk after 8 frames.
jS2 is an excellent pressure tool, the move can be done at any point in the jump arc, and is always + on block. The move can be used to stall for a moment in the air to avoid anti-airs, as well as move forward from neutral/back jump.
jS2 can also be a combo starter.

Invincible during frames 1-15
S3.1 provides Crow with invisibility and some invincibility. It's normally more worthwhile to throw a disk than to setup S3.1 leaving the ground version has little use outside of avoiding chip death.

jS3.1

Aerial Fog of War

can attack/block after 2 landing frames, and walk after 4 frames.
jS3.1 Has less invisibility range than S3.1 and provides no invincibility. However the move has the unique quality of completely halting air momentum, which can make for some tricky mixups when done above the opponent, landing either side.

Riposte Jump - - - None - - - - - - -
properties match neutral jump.
S3.2 is a parry, and Crow's best defensive move. Parrying certain moves and frametraps allow Crow to get a punish where he otherwise couldn't.
  • S3.2 neutral jump is particularly rewarding, but the easiest to beat as rising nj.M whiffs on crouch and the lack of invincibility will mean any second hit will catch Crow on the way up.
  • S3.2 back dash is far safer than neutral jump, giving Crow even more invincibility than regular backdash. This is the cloest thing Crow has to a panic button.
  • S3.2 foward dash also gives some invincibility, but is niche in usage. Can be used to parry projectiles and move forward.

OD

Damage Guard Stun Cancel Startup Active Recovery Total Adv Hit Adv Block Cooldown
20!x6 + 80! = 200! Mid 0 KnAdv 5+5+7 1 40 58 twist 34 -

Invincible during frames 1-18.
Crow OD is unique amongst the game's supers as the only safe one, being +34 means Crow gets a free mixup opportunity from the opponent blocking super. The risk free nature of OD makes it an excellent reversal, and its frequently worth holding just to make an opponent respect it.
OD is also an excellent chip tool, Crow can cover most of the screen with fS1.1 xx OD, while also being able to KA out of OD to chase down escape attempts.
It's also Crow's most reliable juggle starter, with large corner carry and high damage corner combos, making it a great combo ender.
