Breakers Revenge/Rila

Introduction

Rila Estansia is a wild-hearted Brazilian woman from the Amazon Forest. A protector of nature, Rila enters the FIST Tournament to find out about the evil spirit that is threatening the Amazonian people.

Overview

Rila is an unorthodox character with quick dashes and jumps. She hits hard and has very punishing anti-projectile properties. She sticks out as having quite a few unbreakerable link combos. Her supers are not the easiest to combo into but both have very strong uses and do a lot of damage.

Strengths	Weaknesses

Specials

Quick Scratch
[4]6A

Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
-		-	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Rila dashes across the screen and will scratch the opponent. Quick Scratch is relatively safe and does good stun damage.

Quick Uppercut
[4]6C

Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
-		-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Sets them on fire and causes knockdown in addition to having slightly more start-up time and strong anti-air properties. Does higher damage than Quick Scratch at the cost of being unsafe.

Wild Saber
[2]8K

B	Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
	-		-	-
	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
	-	-	-	-	-
Both versions have invulnerable startup, but the LK version will hit while it is invulnerable and the HK version loses its lower-body invulnerability before it begins to hit.
D	Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
	-		-	-
	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
	-	-	-	-	-
The HK version hits a lot more and for more damage.

Killer Snake
[4]3K

B	Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
	-		-
	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
	-	-	-	-	-
Rila launches herself at the opponent and kicks the opponent two times. The pounce can hop over lows and projectiles and has a good deal of priority.
D	Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
	-		-
	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
	-	-	-	-	-
Rila launches herself at the opponent and kicks the opponent three times. Goes further, faster, and higher than the B version. Thanks to startup invincibility and distance travelled this can be used as an escape from lows or mobility tool after knockdown. Juggles into her Bloody Fang super; for purposes of knockdown and range, use HK Killer Snake more frequently.

Spinning Claw
Px5 (rapidly)

A	Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
	-		-
	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
	-	-	-	-	-
Rila spins around on the floor and slowly moves forward. If the opponent is hit, they are sucked into the attack and struck multiple times before they are released. It can be comboed into.
C	Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
	-		-
	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
	-	-	-	-	-
Requires faster mash. More hits, moves faster.

Supers

Shine Beast
[4]646P (Hold to delay)

Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
-		-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Rila turns into a glowing cat and then zigzags across the screen. If held for too long, Rila will turn back into a human. Moreover, if the opponent touches Rila while she is still transformed, she will automatically launch the attack. This move has start-up invulnerability making it a great reversal.

Bloody Fang
[1]319K

Damage	Guard	Stun	Properties
-		-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
-	-	-	-	-
Rila jumps at her opponent and bites them, violently biting. Once it connects it becomes a mashable grab with a max of 21 hits, your opponent can counter mash. This will hit both grounded and airborne opponents. Rila jumps very quickly at the opponent, making this an effective way to punish projectiles on reaction. Very forgiving input, although the inputs are listed as [1]319, the only strict requirement is the [1] charge. You can substitute 6, 4 instead of 3, 1 and you can end in any up direction.

Charging

All specials require 30 frames of charge, her supers require 28.

The charge buffer on super in theory allows for short walk up supers. You have 22 frames of buffer time once the charge requirement is met.

Oki

• Meaty cl.5D or far 5D works to beat wakeup throws or abare.
• Meaty 2B for the low mixup, loses to wakeup throw.
• Killer Snake, Scratch, Uppercut and dashes can all be used to pursue enemies. D Killer Snake goes very far and recovers quickly. Keep in mind opponent's ukemi options.

Breakers

• Invincibility - [2]8B or Shine Beast
• Anti low/projectile - [4]3C/D or Bloody Fang
• Safer options - Backdash or jump
