Moves List

Normal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5A	8	1	18	-	960	-	Slow jab that is not remotely active, to his credit it hits hard
2A	6	4	20	-	480	-	crouch kick
5B	9	2	15	-	2964	-	Double hit punch, hits hard, good for combos and blockstrings
2B	9	1	15	-	1716	-	Hits low two times
6B	14	0	19	-	-	-	Polimar's alternate dash, when close to an opponent it'll crossup. So you can do A -> B -> 2B -> P -> 6B -> A for a dirty crossup. And given it's a new combo your partner will refresh.
5C	15	2	28	-	2720	-	Hits hard for a heavy attack, has a little vertical reach but good horizontal
2C	13	7	27	-	2400	Low/Hard Knockdown	Sweep, has a little range, nothing insane
6C	15	2	32	-	2480	Soft knockdown/ f5-10 invincible	Polimar turns and gives a backfist. Has invincibility but you'll probably never see it, follow up with Razor Kicks or A Destruction fist'
3C	11	5	29	-	2400	Launcher	Good damage for a launcher
j.A	7	8	17	-	960	Overhead	Horizontal Jab
j.B	10	9	24	-	1840	Overhead	Horizontal Kick
j.C	12	5	30	-	3040	Overhead	Upward Angle Kick, not great for grounded opponents

Special Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Hurricane Destruction Fist [4]->6X	-	-	-	-	3375/4050/4725	WallBounce	Poli does a two hit combo and launches the opponent towards the wall. Can follow up with a single dash. Can be cancelled to and from with one emblem
Razor Chain Kicks 236X	15	-	-	-	3108	-	Poli does 4 sets of kicks. Be careful as there is a gap in the second kick, enemies can throw or punish if they are aware of the gap. Can be cancelled to and from with one emblem
3-Stage Reaction Kick 623X->236X->214X	9	-	-	-	-	Hard Knockdown (on last kick)	Yes, all three inputs need to be done for the attack to complete. Okayish anti-air, can be used for relaunches.Can be cancelled into with one emblem Useable in air
Storm Kamae 214X No Input A B C Example of Emblem Cancels	17	-	-	-	45	-	Build the emblems you see at the bottom (or ducks if you're in the know). After building an emblem Polimar can perform a few actions. Doing nothing will set polimar back to neutral, There is no defensive option here so this is the most dangerous A will cause polimar to 2C. This can be cancelled with baroque or into another special B will perform 6C. This can be cancelled with baroque or into another special C will make polimar dash up and perform this forward throw. After building an emblem polimar gains the ability to cancel specials. With three emblems, if I wanted to take a route of Razor-kicks -> razor kicks -> Storme Kanae -> Hurricane Destruction fist This would only be possible with two emblems minimum. All three emblems are required for Polimar's level 3

Super Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Single handed Vacuum Spin 63214789XX	25+1	-	-	-	16518 (ground) 11966 (air)	Command Grab	Polimar winds up for a grab and spins you in a hurricane. Highly avoidable on the ground, you can jump after the super flash. If done off a proper air reset it's unavoidable. His preferred super. Works on Giants Useable in air
Tenshin Polimar Drill A+B -> A+B -> B+C	25+1	-	-	-	21558	HardKnockdown/OTG	Polimar makes a pose and turns into a drilling car. Runs off screen then comes back. Can be landed after Hurricane Destruction Fist but cannot land the second part of the combo. Hits OTG. It's great for crossover combinations but that's about it. Avoid
Illusive Destructive Fist (With 3 Emblems) 236XX	22+2	-	-	-	30117	-	Polimar moves so fast you see after images of him. Fantastic super, great damage, has a few setups to reliably get it. Breaks the bridge. Works on Giants
