Introduction

Well... Are you here because you thought that this was the Athena from KoF? Well... Those two can be the same person, but this Athena is based on the first Athena game(It was a platform game). She is (Without doubt) the weakest of the 4 bosses in the game, but she is pretty strong compared to some of the normal characters. Now, for her Good and Bad things:

Athena's Good and Bad Things:

Good Things:

Fun to play;
Has a small hitbox(She is a little taller than Zero);
Has damaging normals(And Command Moves);
Almost all of her (ground)normals can be canceled;
Has an unblockable move(It's really fast, and spammable too, and the damage on that move is really good);
Can link some Light Attacks with Heavy Attacks(And even Heavy attacks with other Heavy Attacks);
Her Exceed is hard to jump over;
She is safe in some of her "Summon Special Moves".

Bad Things:

Hard to play(She is fun, but not easy);
Doesn't have Super Moves(Which is really bad for her);
She isn't like the Athena from KoF(That Athena was easy to play);
Some normals have the same animation and properties as other normals(Which can make them useless);
Her meter is almost useless(First, she cannot do Super Moves; Second, see the line below);
Cannot do MAXIMUM Mode combos(She can cancel some Special Moves, but she cannot combo with them);
Cannot combo with her "Summon Special Moves"(That includes the Exceed);
Remember that unblockable move mentioned in the Good Things? It whiffs on low crouching characters.

How to select Athena

You want to play with Athena, but cannot select her, eh? Well... There are bad news for you. If you're using the Arcade version(By emulation), you can select her only by cheats. Now, if you're using a console(XBOX and Ps2 only), you can unlock her in that Survival Mode, just defeat her(Or Red Arremer) in the 36th fight. Good luck if you want to do that.
