Plasma Sword/June

Introduction

Overview

(Insert brief description about character and how they play, other details)

Strengths

Weaknesses

Plenty of mixups: June has a lot to work with for her strings, giving her a wide variety of mixups to frustrate the opponent with while being difficult to punish, too. One of the best Plasma Fields in the game: June's Plasma Field gives her ring projectiles that she can spam, can rejuggle preventing tech rolls, and deals high damage. Best of all, she can loop back into Plasma Field off of a ring juggle. Zoning: June's ground fireball is always going to be plus in every situation you can use it in except by itself at point blank range. She also has two angles of air fireball that she can use to run away and approach with. She also has a real reversal in the form of 236K. Incredible Chip: 214K cannot be parried as every hit is a jumping kick, and the last hit is safe. 669A: This move is one of the most unnecessarily juiced moves in the game, doing a raw 30+ damage on its own and having virtually no scaling. Any air-to-air or launcher that leads into this (5AAA,3A) basically means June can potentially one touch kill her opponents, since it combos into itself.

Unique Backdash: June's backdash is a flipping animation. While it does cover more range than a normal backdash, her animation cannot be cancelled into sidestep like a generic backdash can, meaning that June cannot box step backwards. Floaty Jump: June's jump is a little easier to spot coming than other characters, though this is somewhat evened out by the fact she has a air fireball.

Move List

Vertical Normals

5A

5A

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	11	-	-	-	-3	-	-	Ground
A fairly standard 5A data wise that starts one of the most busted juggles in the game. Primarily used for whiff punish situations or setting up ring pressure.

5AA

5AA

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	11	-	-	-	-17	-	-	Ground
By the time you hit 5AA, you need to know whether you want to continue the string (if it's hitting a standing opponent) or if cancel into your projectile. Never stop here.

Sidestep A

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Ground

While Running A

2B

2B

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	9	-	-	-	-13	-	-	Low
June's primary low starter into special/super due to it hitting low + its speed. You never stop here, though.

2BB

2BB

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	9	-	-	-	-11	-	-	Low
This is where you hit confirm special/super. There is a range where 2BB's second hit whiffs, so be careful: this is primarily a close range tool only.

Kick Normals

K

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Ground

4K

4K

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	22	-	-	-	-9	-9	-	Overhead
One of June's strongest mixup tools, see 4KK for more.

4KK

4KK

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	22	-	-	-	-3	-3	-	Overhead
One of June's strongest mixup tools, and maybe one of the best overhead starters in the game. Confirm into special/super on the second hit.

3K

3K

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	14	-	-	-	X	-15	-	Low
Strange launching knee that, as of this time, guarantees no known combo. If you find a reason for this move to be used, feel free to update this.

1K

1K

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	19	-	-	-	X	-9	-	Low
Strange full circle knockdown low. The range is only okay, but it does special cancel, has good frame data, and can combo into June's Orb Super.

-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	-	Ground

Special Moves

Starlight Shoot
236A (on the ground)

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Total	Hit Adv	Block Adv	Meter Gain	Property
-	-	20	-	-	-	+0	-3	-	Ground
A fireball with decent (but not full screen) range and absurd lockdown potential. The frame data listed is only from point-blank range: this is almost always plus in every situation you'd normally use it in. To illustrate a common example: point blank blocked 2BBxStarlight Shoot is +4 on block.
