Captain America

In the time of World Ward II scrawny illustrator Steve Rogers was given an experimental Super Soldier syrum that permanently transformed him into a specemin of perfect health and peak fitness. Captain fought against the Nazi threat and was presumed dead following a battle with Barron Zemo that also killed his young sidekick Bucky. Years later Captain was found frozen in a block of ice by the foundeing members of the Avengers, a team that Captain America would lead ever since. More recently Captain America has been apointed the Head of National Security for the United States and leads the super hero team kown as the Secret Avengers.

In a nutshell Captain America is a straightforward character. His Shield Slash is strong for keeping away characters without strong projectiles of their own or sometimes pressuring opponents from mid range. The shield will return for a second hit while the light version can be used as an OTG. Captain can also use his Charging Star to zip through most projectiles and inflict damage. His Cartwheel moves through the opponent, causing crossups with the right assists and is invincible for the first 13 frames of animation. He doesn't have a lot of moves or flashy combos which makes him pretty easy to pick up and play, but limits his versatility. If a high health, brute force character with a few ranged options is for you then give Captain America a try.

Tips and Tricks

Team Hyper Combos with Captain America's Hyper Charging Star in the assist position of the team (not on point) hit on the same frame that the THC activates on (close range only). This means that they cannot be blocked if the opponent is not already blocking when the Team Hyper Combo is executed. This is very powerful.
Team Hyper Combos with Captain America's Hyper Charging Star in the point position often leave him free to move long before his teammates are finished performing their super attacks. Cartwheel behind someone and mess with their head.
Hyper Stars & Stripes is a 0-Frame move. This means that, at point blank range, if the opponent wasn't already blocking by the time of the Hyper Flash animation, they haven't blocked the move: it starts on the same exact frame.

Basic Strategy

The basic goal of Captain America is to get within range of your opponent to cross up with Backflip, while still having access to your primary crossover assist. Backflips are one of the most reliable methods Captain America has to damage an opponent, as he has no fast overhead and lacks GREAT zoning tools.
One way to get into range for this tactic: use Charging Star L at long range to safely pass through projectiles without over committing, and H at mid range to punish them. You can also apply advancing pressure by jumping forward and using Shield Slash L in the air. While playing him, keep in mind that some of Captain America's combos actually work best from mid-screen, due to how Shield Slash behaves in the corner.
