Move Analysis

Normals and Command Normals

Standing

5A

• A quick, mid-level stab. Has absurd range for an A normal. Great for poking and pushing your opponent back where you want them. You'll be using this and 2A a lot.

5B

• A short-ranged slash. Despite how the animation looks, it has about as much range as 5A but is also slower. Use it if you're expecting a clash and need to cancel into something.

5C

• A turning upward slash that inches Elion forward. Can be used as a gimmicky anti-air at max range, but you'll mostly use it in the middle of combos. It also has a reverse hitbox.

5D

• One of the more useful overhead kicks in the game. It's fast, it's safe, and it links into his DP and his 214214X super.

Crouching

2A

• A quick stab similar to 5A, the difference being it has faster startup but more recovery. It has about the same range as 5B, but like most A normals, is not cancellable.

2B

• A relatively-quick, overhead slash. Arguably Elion's best anti-air, despite its limited vertical hitbox. One of the best aspects of this move, is the fact that it has the same horizontal reach as 2A, which can be used to poke your opponent and keep them from jumping.

2C

• A heavy, turning slash that acts as Elion's sweep. Outside of jump-in combos with j.C, this move is best used at max range to avoid reversals.

2D

• A low-hitting kick with terrible range. Cancellable meaty that can be used to set up all sorts of situations.

Command

6A

• Does not have.

6B

• A lunging stab and Elion's farthest-reaching poke. The startup and recovery make it a terrible move to use at anywhere outside of max range, so make sure your opponent is out of 5A range before trying to use it.

6C

• Spinning circular slash that moves Elion forward a great deal. Has little to no practical use outside of trying to punish a clash or as a reset after 214214X. 6B has better range, is cancellable, and doesn't put you right next to the opponent while you're in recovery. Try not to use this move.

6D

• Elion's mighty boot. As one of the few 6Ds in the game that are actually cancellable, it can be used in a number of different ways, such as setting up his corner loop. This is yet another one of Elion's moves that move him forward, so be careful using it.

Jumping

j.A

• A downward, angled stab that's useful as a quick air-to-air. Use it when speed is a priority.

j.B

• A fan-shaped slash that's only really good for clashing. You'll want to use j.C for jump-ins.

j.C

• Flying half-circle of steel. Has more horizontal range than j.B and great for jump-ins.

j.D

• An upward kick that's okay for air-to-air. Decent anti-clashing jump-in, but nothing spectacular.
