Introduction

Ideal Team Position: Point

When interviewed about the Top 5 characters in Street Fighter x Tekken v2013 after his EVO 2015 victory, Esuta put Elena in his Top 5. While doing so baffled many people, Elena has plenty of tools that can back up Esuta’s endorsement. Because all of her buttons are kicks and she’s a character with a long hitbox, Elena can use her long legs to shut out and in some cases shut DOWN opponents. Her st.LK is a 3 frame startup and reaches very far for a move that fast, allowing her to confirm into links and strings. Furthermore, she can cancel into her Lynx Tail, which is completely safe on block and puts her opponents in a situation where they are forced to block. Since Lynx Tail is a low, she can mix up the opponent with a plethora of overheads, some of which can be comboed from. Furthermore, she is excellent at carrying opponents across the stage, using her Rhino Horn and Spin Scythe to push the opponents far away. Furthermore, she is very against airborne opponents who try to escape her ground attack, as her Scratch Wheel (dp+k) starts up quickly and has an excellent hitbox as an anti-air. Being adept with Elena involves making use of her long reach and high-low game and keeping an opponent locked down until they begin to get impatient, or complacent with their blocking.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • st.LK is one of the two longest-reaching 3f normals in the game
  • cr.MP boost combo cannot be punished by many characters
  • f+MP overhead is safe and can be comboed from
  • Long ranged overhead threat with hcb+P
  • High corner carry
  • Cannot do much solo damage against a crouching opponent without spending meter
  • Best anti-air (dp+LK) only does 100 damage and cannot be comboed from with a tag cancel
  • Lacks up-close pressure, with her only plus normals being crouching
  • Longest ranged low (df+HK) is very unsafe unless well-spaced
  • Low health total at 900

The Basics

Below is a great tutorial from Links on Elena's basics that covers everything from her normals, to her optimal range, to her combo basics:

While this vid focuses on Elena and Asuka as a team, it is a good resource for some ideas on what Elena can do:
