Street Fighter IV Remix/Poison

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy

Introduction

Hugo and Poison both joined the tournament for different reasons. Poison intends to kiss as many people as possible with her Poison Kiss. She doesn't know it's poison even though she shouts poison kiss when she does it.

---

Poison is a dominant midrange character, sporting some of the best buttons in the game. All of her normals involving her whip are completely disjointed and delete projectiles, allowing her to safely control space without much threat of whiff punishes, or anti-air extremely consistently with simple buttons. Her 5LP is a standout fast jab that works great for low commitment poking, where 2MP can stuff their movement or buttons. 5MP and 2HP stick out as top tier anti-airs, and both lead to extremely consistent combos with HKD enders. Even outside of her whip normals, buttons like 5MK, 2MK, and 2HK have staggering range to work with.

Poison is more than just buttons however. Her dash carries a ton of momentum, allowing her to slide forward with ease and whiff punish from extremely far away. She also has a Hyperhop, which is done by tapping down quickly before jumping. This covers a ton of ground while staying very low, allowing her to jump over a ton of things and snipe the opponent. These two movement options are backed up by a top tier walk speed as well. Every hit can lead to a combo through 214P Whip of Love, ending in 214K Love Me Tender and its followup, letting her easily secure hard knockdowns to run her amazing setplay with 236P Aeolus Edge. With this over the opponent, they have to guess between a 6HP overhead or 2MK low, or a dash into tick throw.

She can struggle vs characters who keep her out well. Her anti-zoning game relies on being around midrange, though in that range it is quite strong. Her own zoning is lacking as well, as Aeolus Edge will dissipate at certain distances. Though her pickups are strong and safe from her rekka, she generally struggles to break large damage ceilings, especially with high meter spend combos.

Poison is a great option if you want someone who can both play dominant neutral and skip over neutral entirely, with high reward in both situations. She has some of the best setplay, simple and fun combos, and amazing buttons.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Normals: Poison has almost all great buttons. Her whip normals stand out thanks to their amazing disjoints, letting her safely control space and anti-air with ease. She sports long range lows, safe buffers, and many plus on block buttons. Mobility: With her sliding dash, hyperhop, and one of the fastest walk speeds in the game, Poison isn't lacking in mobility options. Offense: 236HP is an amazing setplay tool, and can reinforce her guessing game between highs and lows. Her lights all leave her plus, and her dash allows her to easily get back in and reset with her unique dash normals like 66LK and 66MP. Safe Reversal: 236PPP Love Storm is a plus on block invincible fireball super, allowing Poison to easily escape offense if she has the meter. Janky Hurtbox: Poison has quite a small hurtbox, both on the ground and in juggles. This can cause many combos to not work on her, and ones that do often require signifigant adjustment to work properly. Opponents unfamiliar with the matchup may find themselves dropping combos frequently.

Fullscreen: While she's quite dominant in her range, Poison struggles a bit anywhere from 60% of the screen or farther. Only 236LP and 236PP will reach from this far away, and she generally struggles to get past some of the strongest zoners here as well. Damage: Poison's combos involve looping with medium normals, which affect her scaling heavily. While she isn't too bad off, her damage is lower than the others, especially with high spend combos.

Normals

5LP

Standing Light Punch
5LP

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block
30	Mid	SP	4	60	0	+6	+3
Yes, we noticed we took the pics with an alt. You can deal with it. Deletes a hit of projectiles. An extremely strong jab. It sports fair disjoint past her hand, and recovers fast, letting her press it in neutral with barely any risk to control space in front of her. Its one of her easiest links to 5MK, and confirms to 214PP from long ranges. It's also extremely plus, letting you set up easy frametraps with it.

5MP

Standing Medium Punch
5MP

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block
60	Mid	SP	5	60	0	-6	-10
Deletes a hit of projectiles. The Pillar. Dominant mid-range anti-air that snipes even the highest of jumps and the strongest of air normals. Easily confirms into a combo by cancelling into 236HP as well, and is extremely useful in both midscreen and corner combos to extend fireball loops or secure a 214K ender. Very unsafe on block, so be wary of using it on grounded opponents outside of combos.

5HP

Standing Heavy Punch
5HP

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block
90	Mid	SP	0	60	0	0	-3
Deletes a hit of projectiles. A huge swing of the whip. Fast for the range it has, which is extended by the step forward Poison takes during startup. She steps backwards after, retreating to a safe distance, making it hard to properly whiff punish. The step forward helps to secure a 214P combo, making it useful as a whiff punisher itself.

5LK

Standing Light Kick
5LK

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block
30	Mid	SP	0	60	0	+4	+1
A fast kick to the shins. Extends no hurtbox at her legs, and her foot has some disjoint, letting it stuff other low pokes. It's also functionally her longest range light normal, making it great to confirm into 214PP.

5MK

Standing Medium Kick
5MK

Damage	Guard	Cancel	Startup	Active	Recovery	On Hit	On Block
70	Mid	SP	0	60	0	+1	-3
A long range kick. Decent enough standing poke, with a nice mix of speed and range. You can use this as a link from her lights for a 214LP/MP combo at longer ranges, but if you're closer up you have better options.

You can't jump it on reaction anymore, so it's actually a good mixup tool now. Sends the opponent fullscreen, but causes a crumple state, meaning you can actually convert off this in certain circumstances.
