-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	None	10	7	-18	35	-3	-7	-
Big muscley straight punch to the face. Safer if you space it right but you don't want to get caught hitting this button up close.

st.D

look at this dumb roundhouse

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	None	13	4	25	42	-8	-12	-
Roundhouse. Longest-range attack Clark has, but it's pretty negative on hit so you don't want to aim this close at all.

Close Range Normals

cl.A

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	None	5	5	4	14	+2	0	-
Same jab, different boxes.

cl.B

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	CMD/Special/Super	4	5	5	14	+3	+1	-
Cancellable. On some characters like Ash, there can be an annoying deadzone where you're too close for st.B to come out, but too far for cl.B to hit.

cl.C

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	CMD/Special/Super	4	4,7	16	31	-2	+6	-
As fast as his cl.B. Cancellable on the first hit only, but even then it does more damage than cl.B. Combos into 6B, and is a true blockstring, but pushes the opponent too far to combo into anything other than Shining Wizard.

cl.D

if you see this you're bout to eat a combo

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	None	12	3	28	43	-10	-14	Low
Dropkick. Uncancellable move with a lengthy startup and a lengthy punish window...on hit. Duckable as well for extra pain. This move can hop over low attacks, but the recovery is horrible so you're gonna get punished anyway.

Crouching Normals

cr.A

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	CMD/Special/Super	5	6	4	15	+2	0	-
Cancellable jab. Only cancellable crouch move Clark has.

cr.B

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Low	-	-	-	-	-	None	5	5	9	19	-1	-3	-
Quick low. Can't combo into anything, not cancellable so Clark doesn't get much from lows.

-	-	Overhead	-	-	-	-	-	-	4	9	-	13	-	-	-
Longest lasting air normal for Clark. This is Clark's best normal for air-to-ground situations, since it can confirm cl.C xx SAB easily.

-	-	Overhead	-	-	-	-	-	-	4	4	-	8	-	-	-
This normal is mostly used for air-to-air. Not particularly usefull.

-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-
German Suplex. C version throws the opponent forward, D version swaps sides. Techable and rollable before the opponent hits the ground. If rolled, Clark is extremely negative, but is strike/projectile invul until recovery. You can still punish with a throw, especially in the corner.

Command Normals

Stomping

Stomp dem legs.

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	Special/Super	14	4	22	30	-2	-6	-
Clark kicks the opponent in the legs. Cancellable into a special/super, and pushes the opponent out back a bit. Can only be combo'd from his cl.C, but leaves the opponent too far apart to do anything except Shining Wizard. Up close, you can combo into either a Mount Tackle or a Backbreaker. With meter, you can combo into a Ultra Argentine Backbreaker (DM or LDM) , but the range is shorter than the regular SAB.

Special Moves

Super Argentine Backbreaker
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	Flashing Elbow	1	-	-	-	-	-	-
Clark's signature 1F command grab. More dangerous than ever with the removal of alternate guarding. Swaps sides with the opponent on connect, and can be followed up on with Flashing Elbow

Frankensteiner
+

Version	Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
LK	-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	Flashing Elbow	9	-	-	-	-	-	-
Version	Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
HK	-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	Flashing Elbow	14	-	-	-	-	-	-
Delayed, invincible command grab. You can use the Frankensteiner as GCA-bait for a few characters (like Tizoc and Maxima), but more often then not you'll get stuffed. Swaps sides if it connects, can follow up with Flashing Elbow. B version has less startup than D version.

Napalm Stretch
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	Flashing Elbow	10	13	35	58	-	-	-
Anti-air attack where Clark jumps forward. If his body touches the opponent's, he'll roll them down. Can only hit in the air (except for Mukai, who is tall enough that Clark can hit him standing up). Can follow up with Flashing Elbow.

Mount Tackle
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Mid	-	-	-	-	-	-	12+	4	58	74+	-	-	-
Clark does a run. If in range, he performs a tackle. The tackle itself does no damage initially. If this move hits, Clark can perform one of four followups; 22A, 22B, 22C and 22D. The opponent can "break" the tackle by inputting the same followup that Clark inputs, before any of the followups are performed. (for example, if the opponent was to break 22A, then he and Clark would need to input 22A). Unlike throws, you cannot OS a guaranteed tackle break by inputting 22ABCD, this is a true 25/25/25/25 mixup. Light version has Clark run 3/4th of the screen, Heavy version goes fullscreen and Clark runs faster.

Clark Lift
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	21	-	-
Followup to Mount Tackle. Swaps sides, leaves the opponent fullscreen. Probably his worst followup because of its bad Oki positioning.

Lift DDT/Reverse DDT
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	21	-	-
Followup option to Mount Tackle. Swaps sides. Leaves the opponent very close to Clark, and can be followed up on with Flashing Elbow. Even without doing the Flashing Elbow, this is Clarks's most damaging followup

Rolling Cradle
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	39	-	-
Followup option to Mount Tackle. Swaps sides. Worst damage, but has amazing stage carry potential; if this hits midscreen (or slightly further than midscreen), you can send your opponent to the corner. There's no difference between which version you pick, other than which button the defender has to break with (so, for example, if you perform 22B, then your opponent needs to break with 22B, not with 22D, and vice versa).

Shining Wizard
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Unblockable	-	-	-	-	-	-	1	-	-	-	15	-	-
Clark runs up to his opponent. If the opponent is crouching, Clark will do a Shining Wizard and kick them in the head. If not, Clark stops running and is punishable. Unblockable, but it'll whiff the opponent is in blockstun. Runs faster than Mount Tackle, allowing some combos to connect with Wizard that otherwise wouldn't with Tackle, such as cl.C -> 6K -> 63214P or 2A -> 63214P.

Flashing Elbow
+

Do you smell what the Clark is cooking?

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	16	-	-
Universal followup option from either his SAB, Frankensteiner, Napalm Stretch or Lift DDT. Clark runs up to the opponent and drops the elbow on them. Guaranteed followup from nearly all scenarios (with the only exception possibly being landing Napalm Stretch in the corner. Hits OTG.

Super Moves

Ultra Argentine Backbreaker
+

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	-	2	-	-	-	-	-	-
Command grab super. Not an instant command grab anymore, the opponent can jump during the superfreeze to punish. Swaps sides. More damaging than his Running Three. Compare his hitboxes of his UAB to the hitboxes of his SAB; you'll note that his Ultra Argentine Backbreakers (both the DM and LDM versions) have less range than his Super Argentine Backbreakers. This means that you may find yourselves in situations where a SAB will connect, but a UAB will whiff (for example, dj.A -> st.C -> SAB will combo, but dj.A -> st.C -> UAB will whiff).

Running Three
+

More like Running One

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	-	20	-	-	-	-	-	-
Running command grab super. Swaps sides. Has invincibility before the superfreeze.

LDM

Ultra Argentine Backbreaker
+

he does a handstand it's pretty cool

Damage	Counter Dmg	Guard	Guard Damage	Damage Scaling	Stun	CH Stun	Meter	Cancel Properties	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Advantage	Block Advantage	Invulnerability
-	-	Throw	-	-	-	-	-	-	2	-	-	-	-	-	-
More damaging version of his Ultra Argentine Backbreaker DM. Doesn't swap sides. Same hitboxes, but Clark does a cool handstand so pick Clark as your leader if you want a cool super.
