World Heroes Perfect/Captain Kidd

Introduction

Beginners tend to play Capt.Kidd like Guile, but that's only a small sample of what he has to offer. He has a great air game, with j.MK and j.HK as great priority & crossup attacks. The MK even autoguards during its startup. Combine this with the fact that most of his normals can be jump-canceled, and he can destroy characters without a solid reversal. His EX is one of the best, an invincible projectile that stuns the opponent for further combos, and his super is a command grab without much range but with a quick motion. Finally, there are his hop infinites: Low HP -> d/b+ABC xN on most crouching characters, and neutral HK -> d/b+ABC xN on standing & a couple crouching characters. He rates below Hanzou and possibly Fuuma mostly because he has a hard time against Carn.

Pros

• A fantastic air game, having 2 great priority normals and crossups
  

• Most of his normals are jump-cancellable
  

• Has great MUs against characters without a good reversal
  

• EX move that leads to a full combo, is invincible and can be used as a reversal
  

• Command grab, despite lacking much range, has a simple motion
  

• Can end a round quickly with his hop infinites: 2HP xx 2ABC xN
  

Cons

• Suffers from a bad matchup against Carn.
  

• Obviously tall, he is more suspectible to overheads
