'''SonSon''' is one of the three original characters of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. She is the granddaughter of the original SonSon from the 1984 Capcom game, and carries his name on as SonSon III. Wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a shapeshifting staff that she received from the her grandfather, she set out on a journey to solve the mystery of the strange disease that struck her home village. | |||

{{Content Box|content= In MvC2, SonSon is an alright assist character with plenty of pesky special moves, unique movement tools, and two-way airdash to disrupt her opponents or keep the pressure on. Though she isn't terribly strong, she can be a lot of fun to use. | |||
{{ProConTable | |||
|pros= | |||
* Quick dashes and long air dash let her approach and retreat as she pleases. Her small hurtbox, Wall Walk, and Crawling specials also make her hard to pin down | |||
* | * Heavies have great range on the ground, Shienbu projectiles and Seiten Rengeki let her play at most ranges | ||
* | * Her Hyper Combos can deal great damage with the right setups | ||
* | * Has three helpful assists, and is a team player when both starting and ending DHCs | ||
|cons= | |||
* Low defense means mistakes are more fatal for her than 85% of the cast | |||
* | * Short range on her lights and mediums can lead to overreliance on heavies for poking, meaning sticking out hurtboxes often | ||
* Can only truly combo into one of her Hyper Combos (Tenchi) by herself, needs assists to reach much higher damage output | |||

|description= Alpha Counter is LP Fuusestu Zan. Team Hyper Combo super is THC En'Ou. SonSon pulls out a peach pickup that heals some of the point character's red health on contact. Heal assists can be nice when starting out, or if your team gives you enough situations where you can call it to keep whoever's out front healthy. Once SonSon comes out, she'll wait behind you for about two seconds, which means she's technically in harms way until you either take it from her or take too long to get it and she leaves. | |||
Something to keep in mind is that even though she isn't tall, the peach itself has to be touched for the heal to trigger, and lots of characters can crouch under its collision. Backdashing or using a move that sends you backwards automatically can help you reach her sooner. | |||

|description= HP Shienbu. Alpha Counter is LP Shienbu. Team Hyper Combo super is En'Ou. Three hits of chip can be useful in a pinch, and the projectiles' unique angle can provide a unique defense against fireballs. They also don't travel very fast, so you can run in behind them and hit-confirm off of lows (or overheads with the right setup). | |||

|description= HP Seiten Rengeki. Alpha Counter is LP Seiten Rengeki. Team Hyper Combo super is Tenchi Tsuukan. A fantastic anti-air thanks to its speed, damage, travel distance and angle, and slight disjoint. She comes out in front of you too, so it has more horizontal range than some other popular anti-airs which can be helpful against assists. The knockback hitstun it has also lends well into air combos or special moves/supers that can hit at super jump height. | |||

=== Normal Moves === | |||
-When grounded, SonSon has the Hunter type [[Marvel_vs_Capcom_2/System#The_Magic_Series|Magic Series]], meaning she can follow the {{lp}} > {{lk}} > {{mp}} > {{mk}} > {{hp}} > {{hk}} cancel tree. | |||

|description= SonSon grows and plants her staff into the floor, using it as a pivot for a spinning kick. Slower than 5HP, but with considerably farther range. Once she plants the staff into the ground, her actual collision moves forwards until her feet touch the ground again, so there's a window before the active frames where cancelling into a special or super puts her closer to her opponent than normal. | |||

Can hit OTG at a distance with ease, but mind the decrease in damage compared to 5HP and 5HK. Like 5HP, 6HP can be cancelled into from her other normals, and cancelled into her HKs. | |||

|description= SonSon pulls some of her hair and blows it, creating three floating monkeys. One goes straight while the other two go 45 degrees diagonally for a second before swapping angles with each other. Shienbu is a great move to counter projectiles like one-hit fireballs, and each monkey deals a hit of chip. Since the monkeys have hurtboxes, they can also block other 'objects' like Omega Red's coils and Blackheart's demons. The button used determines their travel speed: LP goes slow enough that she can dash in front of them, while HP sends them at a faster speed. | |||

Seiten Rengeki is her go-to for cancels during combos, both when finishing out a ground or air combo, and with meter she can cancel into Tenchi.

|description= SonSon uses a gourd as a vacuum to suck in an opponent. It's a hitgrab, meaning it's blockable. If blocked, whiffed entirely, or it hits but isn't able to transition into the second part of the move (for example, if it hits an assist, or if it hits OTG), SonSon will do a vulnerable confused animation. | |||
When Kingin no Hisago hits, she tosses the gourd into a pot to cook them, but the gourd blows both itself and her up (only visually) despite her attempt to fan. It can be cancelled into, but not out of, so kara or whiff cancelling into a super won't save her. It has a good chunk of active frames, and it's fully disjointed. If the game thinks she's too close to the corner on hit, she'll turn around as she starts the second part of the move, and Tech Rolling will put the opponent back into the corner. | |||

|description= SonSon walks backwards until she reaches the screen edge behind her, and once she reaches it she'll walk up the side, then across the ceiling, and finally down the other wall she was originally facing. This move is useful when input normally, as it's good for disengaging on block avoiding beams or any horizontal techniques, and if pre-emptive enough can be used as an approach option. | |||
The magic of Wall Walk comes from its two follow-up options in ~P and ~K. The P follow-up will cause SonSon to drop from the wall or ceiling in Super Jump state, which lets her both press buttons on the way down and cancel any air specials into supers. The K followup has SonSon perform an ''until-landing overhead'' kick off of the wall or ceiling in the direction of whichever wall she's farther from (so as she passes the timer at the top of the screen, pressing K will make her kick backwards to the wall she walked up). The buttons used don't change anything about the followups. | |||

|description= SonSon's unique dodging technique where she crawls along the ground to avoid attacks for about a second. Hofuku makes Sonson's hurtbox incredibly low to the ground for its entire moving duration, and at the very end she gets a high profile hurtbox as she hops back to idling. While it doesn't go very far and can't be special cancelled into from normals, Hofuku still has very strong use cases. Its short startup can get her out of sticky situations faster than some of her other tools, and the entire crawling part of the move can be cancelled into any normal. | |||

Comboing Seiten into Tenchi is SonSon's main source of damage, especially when solo. | |||

Introduction
SonSon is one of the three original characters of Marvel vs. Capcom 2. She is the granddaughter of the original SonSon from the 1984 Capcom game, and carries his name on as SonSon III. Wielding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a shapeshifting staff that she received from the her grandfather, she set out on a journey to solve the mystery of the strange disease that struck her home village.
TO-DO: Add frame data, as well as missing sprites
Gameplay
In MvC2, SonSon is an alright assist character with plenty of pesky special moves, unique movement tools, and two-way airdash to disrupt her opponents or keep the pressure on. Though she isn't terribly strong, she can be a lot of fun to use.

Alpha Counter is LP Fuusestu Zan. Team Hyper Combo super is THC En'Ou. SonSon pulls out a peach pickup that heals some of the point character's red health on contact. Heal assists can be nice when starting out, or if your team gives you enough situations where you can call it to keep whoever's out front healthy. Once SonSon comes out, she'll wait behind you for about two seconds, which means she's technically in harms way until you either take it from her or take too long to get it and she leaves. Something to keep in mind is that even though she isn't tall, the peach itself has to be touched for the heal to trigger, and lots of characters can crouch under its collision. Backdashing or using a move that sends you backwards automatically can help you reach her sooner. | |||||

HP Shienbu. Alpha Counter is LP Shienbu. Team Hyper Combo super is En'Ou. Three hits of chip can be useful in a pinch, and the projectiles' unique angle can provide a unique defense against fireballs. They also don't travel very fast, so you can run in behind them and hit-confirm off of lows (or overheads with the right setup). | |||||

HP Seiten Rengeki. Alpha Counter is LP Seiten Rengeki. Team Hyper Combo super is Tenchi Tsuukan. A fantastic anti-air thanks to its speed, damage, travel distance and angle, and slight disjoint. She comes out in front of you too, so it has more horizontal range than some other popular anti-airs which can be helpful against assists. The knockback hitstun it has also lends well into air combos or special moves/supers that can hit at super jump height. | |||||

A two hit attack with hitboxes that extend forwards and upwards some. Avoidable combo filler since she can combo lights into her three HPs, but can be useful for blockstrings with or buying time for assists before special cancelling. | |||||

One of SonSon's best buttons. She leans forwards and grows her staff to strike with a large and slightly disjointed slam. It's on the fast side for a heavy, and the hitbox is huge and the very tip (the yellow part) of the staff is disjointed. One of her key OTG options. | |||||

Like 5MP, another two hit attack but with hitboxes that extend higher and farther. Similar reasons to use both this and 5MP, but the second attack's hitbox here is very tall and slightly disjointed at the top (which 3HP takes great advantage of) | |||||

SonSon grows and plants her staff into the floor, using it as a pivot for a spinning kick. Slower than 5HP, but with considerably farther range. Once she plants the staff into the ground, her actual collision moves forwards until her feet touch the ground again, so there's a window before the active frames where cancelling into a special or super puts her closer to her opponent than normal. | |||||

SonSon points her staff straight forwards while low to the ground. Despite the animation, not a low attack. The hitbox is both longer and lower down than 5LP and 5LK. Also has more reach than 2LK, so this is your longest reaching light at the cost of one more startup frame. | |||||

SonSon does an upward kick while crouched down that pops up on hit. The hitbox on it is about as tall as she is, and her foot is fully disjointed with some extra disjoint up to where her knee is. Can be used for tricky setups and resets with the right sequences. | |||||

SonSon stretches out forwards and spins her staff in her palm like a pinwheel for three hits. During Super Jump state, j.HP can trigger Flying Screen on its own thanks to the multiple hits granting the hit count condition for FS to apply. Despite how long the staff spins, j.HP doesn't have many active frames, so while you could try to meaty overhead with it. | |||||

SonSon turns around and does a backflip-kick. As a single hit, it can be preferred over j.HP in terms of combo scaling for both air combos and jump-ins. The hitbox is only at the bottom of the move, but there's an added hurtbox in front of her that's pretty tall. | |||||

SonSon makes the staff extend far in front of her, covering a half-screen length of space with the trademark tip-disjoint on her other grounded HPs. She holds the pose for a while, and that whole time there's an extended hurtbox which puts her at ample range to get clipped by anything. Can hit OTG at a distance with ease, but mind the decrease in damage compared to 5HP and 5HK. Like 5HP, 6HP can be cancelled into from her other normals, and cancelled into her HKs. | |||||

SonSon pulls some of her hair and blows it, creating three floating monkeys. One goes straight while the other two go 45 degrees diagonally for a second before swapping angles with each other. Shienbu is a great move to counter projectiles like one-hit fireballs, and each monkey deals a hit of chip. Since the monkeys have hurtboxes, they can also block other 'objects' like Omega Red's coils and Blackheart's demons. The button used determines their travel speed: LP goes slow enough that she can dash in front of them, while HP sends them at a faster speed. | |||||

Multi-hit anti-air attack that sends SonSon flying in the air while spinning her staff, and her claim to fame. Seiten Rengeki is her go-to for cancels during combos, both when finishing out a ground or air combo, and with meter she can cancel into Tenchi. LP sends her about a jump's height off of the ground and hits twice, while HP sends her much higher and adds a third hit to the end. | |||||

SonSon uses a gourd as a vacuum to suck in an opponent. It's a hitgrab, meaning it's blockable. If blocked, whiffed entirely, or it hits but isn't able to transition into the second part of the move (for example, if it hits an assist, or if it hits OTG), SonSon will do a vulnerable confused animation. When Kingin no Hisago hits, she tosses the gourd into a pot to cook them, but the gourd blows both itself and her up (only visually) despite her attempt to fan. It can be cancelled into, but not out of, so kara or whiff cancelling into a super won't save her. It has a good chunk of active frames, and it's fully disjointed. If the game thinks she's too close to the corner on hit, she'll turn around as she starts the second part of the move, and Tech Rolling will put the opponent back into the corner. | |||||

If you mash the punch buttons fast enough, SonSon will point her staff around in a circular mixing motion in front of her. Fuusetsu Zan is more disjointed than her other attacks, but the hitstun is too low for super cancels to combo by herself. The first four hitboxes are at the top of the circle, then two are at the bottom, then one more at the top. | |||||

SonSon walks backwards until she reaches the screen edge behind her, and once she reaches it she'll walk up the side, then across the ceiling, and finally down the other wall she was originally facing. This move is useful when input normally, as it's good for disengaging on block avoiding beams or any horizontal techniques, and if pre-emptive enough can be used as an approach option. The magic of Wall Walk comes from its two follow-up options in ~P and ~K. The P follow-up will cause SonSon to drop from the wall or ceiling in Super Jump state, which lets her both press buttons on the way down and cancel any air specials into supers. The K followup has SonSon perform an until-landing overhead kick off of the wall or ceiling in the direction of whichever wall she's farther from (so as she passes the timer at the top of the screen, pressing K will make her kick backwards to the wall she walked up). The buttons used don't change anything about the followups. | |||||

SonSon's unique dodging technique where she crawls along the ground to avoid attacks for about a second. Hofuku makes Sonson's hurtbox incredibly low to the ground for its entire moving duration, and at the very end she gets a high profile hurtbox as she hops back to idling. While it doesn't go very far and can't be special cancelled into from normals, Hofuku still has very strong use cases. Its short startup can get her out of sticky situations faster than some of her other tools, and the entire crawling part of the move can be cancelled into any normal. | |||||

SonSon throws her staff up with a hitbox, then it comes down 20 times bigger about 1/4 screen ahead of her for good damage. The extra staff hit when she throws it upwards can ensure the main part connects as a combo, but a fast enough super cancel from a grounded or aerial Seiten Rengeki can keep the combo going without it. Comboing Seiten into Tenchi is SonSon's main source of damage, especially when solo. | |||||

SonSon channels a mystic power to become the Monkey King for a few seconds! Use joystick to move back and forth, LP punches downwards, HP uppercuts, and the K buttons breathe aimable fire. She can't combo into this super solo, but the fire breath does some chip and can reach fullscreen at the right angles. On hit, the fire pops up for until-knockdown hitstun, so a sweeping motion from down to up can grant decent damage if it manages to hit them. Use En'Ou with caution. Opponents that know how to abuse its Super Armor can quickly make you regret going beast mode. | |||||

SonSon winds up for a bit, then says 'POW!' and waits as the word floats across the screen. If it hits, your enemy will be turned into one of three giant fruits (visually different) and then she'll eat it in a matter of seconds. While POW can seem odd or niche initially, during combos it can be a very potent super. | |||||
