The King of Fighters '99/Whip

Introduction

Top-tier character (in top 5 of best no-banned characters in kof99) .

Mixup type character.

Doesn't get command throw.

Her gameplay is especially focused on her jumps attacks in this kof. Her j+C can Overhead and Low both, depending on where you hit the opponent which of course helps her a lot to have a very good mixup gameplay. You can pressure well with this move at same time. J+C crossup also. Her j+CD is certainly the jump attack who has the most priority on opponent. Very good air-to-ground move. Her j+D is a good air-to-air move. Can be good in air-to-ground move vs tall characters (Maxima for example).

Her cr+B can link after a cancel roll forward .

This combo : Close B x1-3 > cr.B > hcf+C or qcb, hcf + P is her bnb and must be mastered.

Whip gets a fast backdash which allows her with her neutral j+C and her cr.A to keep opponent at bay given priority of both moves. Her neutral j+B has very high priority also but the range of this attack is not that high related to her neutral j+C thus used at close range.

Whip has a very good mixup thus with her J+C (pressure, crossup), her cl+B who is Low Attack and who's very often used after a j+C, her cr+B who's her long normal attack who can be cancelled into hcf + C or qcb, hcf + P and her j+CD. Her C normal throw + 2A is very important for her okizeme gameplay.

The real problem in her gameplay is that she doesn't have really a Reversal / Invincible move and that she is pretty hard to play with...

Bad as Striker

Whip Sideswitch setup cornered (if opponent doesn't roll)

In the first place, you must hop crossup with j.C and do this combo at 2p side close to 2p corner :

Close B x1-2 > cr.B > qcb,hcf+P

After doing this combo, you must do 6A and after hyper hop with j.C and redo the same combo :

Close B x1-2 > cr.B > qcb,hcf+P
