Elirin is something of a "feast or famine" kind of character. While she has excellent normals with which to control the ground and air space, her special moves don't provide a whole lot of utility in neutral, leaving her with slightly weak neutral options overall. Elirin usually tries to find her way into the close range, where she can begin walling people out with her normals and start mixing them up when they start to sit still. Her offense is quite strong in this regard, but in return, her defense is extremely weak, sporting a low defense value and poor defensive options without meter. Playing Elirin to her full potential will require you to be careful, but confident.
You probably picked Elirin because of her outfit. What's likely to make you stick around is her phenomenal footsies. With a bevy of powerful tools at her disposal for horizontal and vertical space control, Elirin is the go-to girl for players looking for an aggressive mid-range space control and footsies character, thanks to excellent normals that easily wall out impatient opponents, setting up reliable damage and offense of her own, with strong throw mixups and a lightning-fast overhead in {{Tooltip|text=Elirin Chop|hovertext=63214HP}}. Unfortunately, this near-singular focus on aggressive space control means that Elirin is a very "feast or famine" type of character -- her poor defense rating means she takes punishment hard, an equally poor attack rating means making comebacks is even more difficult, and her lack of reliable defensive options means that if she's put on the back foot, she's often stuck there. Playing Elirin well is hardly an impossibility, but it'll require you to be a little less brash than the character herself -- careful confidence will be the key to success.

'''Elirin Chop (hcb+P):''' A basically unseeable overhead. Because it's so fast, Elirin can use this to blow people up for down-backing, especially if she's willing to super cancel from it.<br>

Introduction

Elirin is an American whose real name is Eleanor. She insists that she's not a weeaboo because she was raised in Japan from a very young age, but I'm not so sure.

You probably picked Elirin because of her outfit. What's likely to make you stick around is her phenomenal footsies. With a bevy of powerful tools at her disposal for horizontal and vertical space control, Elirin is the go-to girl for players looking for an aggressive mid-range space control and footsies character, thanks to excellent normals that easily wall out impatient opponents, setting up reliable damage and offense of her own, with strong throw mixups and a lightning-fast overhead in Elirin Chop. Unfortunately, this near-singular focus on aggressive space control means that Elirin is a very "feast or famine" type of character -- her poor defense rating means she takes punishment hard, an equally poor attack rating means making comebacks is even more difficult, and her lack of reliable defensive options means that if she's put on the back foot, she's often stuck there. Playing Elirin well is hardly an impossibility, but it'll require you to be a little less brash than the character herself -- careful confidence will be the key to success.

Avg2 elirin mini.png Elirin is an aggressive space control character who uses her variety of pokes to lock opponents down and condition them into her mixups.
Pros Cons
