Introduction

Material was genetically engineered to be as annoying as physically possible.

Serving as the game's sub-boss, Material is a somewhat strange case, in that her strength mostly comes from her being an overtuned normal character. "Overtuned" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, though, as Material sports, hands-down, the best set of normals in the entire game, with heavy buttons that come out at the speed of some light attack buttons, all of which lead to high reward on hit and strong pressure on block. Strong special moves with long active time, as well as a unique teleport dash, all serve to give Material not just powerful combos and neutral control, but some of the game's most terrifying okizeme.

Please be aware that this character is BANNED in competitive play.
Pros	Cons
Incredible Normals: Material has hands down the best normals in the game, with moves like 5HP and 2HP animating as quickly as most characters' light attacks, all of which convert into simple, incredibly damaging combos. Unmatched Offense: With incredible offensive and defensive stats, high damage combos and oppressive okizeme thanks to great meaties and a teleport dash, Material can turn any opening into some of the game's most powerful offensive momentum. Hard to Catch: With a fully invulnerable teleport dash and a shockingly small frame, Material is incredibly hard to pin down, and even when you do, landing a hit is a challenge in and of itself.	Limited Reversal Options: The closest thing that Material has to a DP doesn't have any real invincibility, which limits her reversal options to her 0F supers and her fully invincible backdash. Lacks Dashing Normals: Because of her teleport dash, Material does not have dashing normals like every other character. This doesn't really matter at all, but it probably bears mentioning.
