(n)Queixada - Hold D for 2 or more seconds then release. <br>
Does a split kick that looks like an overhead but its not.  <br>
Only combos after the 1st or 2nd hit of her dwnfwd B command move(and after hitting the wall of course :p), and its not a knockdown move.  <br>

==Super Tag==
=Combos=
First Impact combos:<br>
Ground - A, A, B, B, D<br>
Air    - B, B, D, D, D<br>
My B&B combo:<br>
Jump D(hold D), dwn C, dwnfwd B(2 hits), release D or qcf A<br>
-You can use DP B then dwn C or hcb B/D or the rapid kicks, but Queixada is  better since its safe when blocked.<br>
-Holding D button with her can do a lot of wonder...  ^_^<br><br>
Other combos:<br>
-Jump C, dwn C, dwnfwd B(2 hits), hcb B/D<br>
-Jump C, dwn C, dwnfwd B(2 hits), press B/D rapidly, qcf B/D<br>
-Jump C, dwn C, dwnfwd B(2 hits), qcf x 2 B/D<br><br>

-Jump D(hold D), dwn C, fwd A, release D or hcb B/D<br>
-Jump D(hold D), dwn C, dwnfwd B(2 hits), release D or hcb B/D<br>
*mix up the 2 combos above.  If you've held the D button for 30 seconds, do:
-dwn C, release D button.<br><br>
If you're opponent got used to blocking yor combos, chances are, he'll get hit by the super 'coz its unblockable.  ^_^<br><br>

STORY

Pupa is an average girl from Brazil who likes to eat, dance, practice capoeira, assemble and disassemble machinery, party, and cause problems! She's the youngest child of the family and is the one always getting into trouble compared to her brother. Pupa lived in Brazil with her oldest brother and father, who is an engineer, who would raise them after their mother passed when Pupa was only five years old. For her fifth birthday, she received an orange handmade hat from her mother before her passing.

Shortly after, her father decided to send his three kids to America to attend a proper school. Her brother was shocked by the big city and soon started to get mixed into the wrong crowd. One night, her brother didn't come home and it worried her to the point of looking for him. She was confident in herself but knew the city was a dangerous place so she asked Pupa to help look for her brother since he was famous for being tough. Pepe noticed how worried Pupa was getting over her lost brother, so he decided to go with her to look for her brother.

Pupa has good defensive and average offensive capabilities. She's easy to pick up but has a slight skill curve to her combos since she has to micro-walk to link her BnBs.
Pros Cons
  • Great Normals: Pupa's normals are great for neutral control. Having a two-hit safe sweep, fast B buttons, and a good 2C anti-air.
  • Small Hurtbox: Pupa is small, especially when she crouches. Some moves whiff on her, for example, Abubo's Impact or Elias' Far C.
  • Underwhelming Specials: Her specials are lacking in versatility. Her heavy Bencao isn't very useful as an anti-air projectile, Queixada and Fast Kicks are overshadowed by Parafuso and Flying Dance.
  • Underwhelming Mix-up: Pupa's 6A overhead is decent but you can only connect 236A off of it. This usually only leads to a duplex attack.
