Thrill Kill/Oddball

Oddball  Overview Strategy Combo Strings

Overview

 Oddball is one of the most dangerous characters in the game. His low dash cooldown allows him to dart around the stage rapidly, he has unique special attacks that double as mobility tools, and any string ending in a launcher can be converted into massive damage.

 What Oddball really has going for him is that he is only one of two characters in the game that has access to a super launcher. Super Rising Shoulder sends whoever gets hit by it comically high into the air, and since Oddball possesses a palette of launching attacks both mid and low, learning how to convert stray hits into very high damaging super launcher strings (and learning the buffers to consistently land the hits) is a must when trying to master Oddball. Mastering him requires learning different routes and buffers to account for wall gravity messing with timings. Your reward for your hard work is a character that can convert 50%+ damage off of any mixup combo or punish string.

 Oddball's biggest issue is his attack hitboxes. Even at point-blank range, they have a chance at missing your opponent completely if they're standing at an odd angle leaving open to a free combo.

At a glance:
Pros	Cons
Damage: Oddball can convert juggles into insane damage with his super launcher strings, leading to 50%+ combos even off of uncounterable strings. Fast Dash Cooldown: You can dart around the stage very quickly without the need to crouch cancel. Slippery Hurtbox: Some high attacks can miss him at certain angles. So Many Plus Frames: Almost all of Oddball's buttons are plus on his, which is very rare for Thrill Kill. Staggering opponents with his mid and low attacks is a breeze.	Difficult to play: Oddball requires a lot of execution to play well in regards to learning extended juggle strings and mixing up your hits to land launchers. Bad attack hitboxes: His launchers tend to whiff at certain angles, even at point-blank range. His low stance: His wide stance means low attacks have much longer range against him.

Move List

Front Punch

Head Jab

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	6f	3f	6f	{{{advantage}}}	3	2.7u	-	No
On the slower end as far as jabs go, but its range and active frames make it an okay button.

---

Rising Shoulder

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	8f	2f	16f	{{{advantage}}}	4	3.4u		No
Due to its diagonal attack animation, this move has much less range against crouched players.

---

Super Rising Shoulder

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	12f	1f	24f	{{{advantage}}}	9	1.8u	SUPER	No
Character defining move. This attack is what makes all of Oddball's extended juggles possible, but it's not recommended you use it on its own due to its poor range and recovery time.

---

Front Roll Escape

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
-	-	-	26f	{{{advantage}}}	-	-	-	No
Does not offer any I-frames, however it's tiny hitbox and fast speed does make you difficult to hit.

---

Neck Breaker

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	12f	-	98f	{{{advantage}}}	28	0.3u - 2.2u		No
Very silly command normal that can be blocked, doesn't interact with crouching players at all, and ends up with both you and your opponent on the ground with 0 advantage. Avoid using.

---

Head Butt From Crouch

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	5f	1f	9f	{{{advantage}}}	3	3.5u	-	No
Great range for a crouching poke, and leads to either a mid-stun or a low string.

Back Punch

Head Butt

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	8f	4f	14f	{{{advantage}}}	4	3.2u	-	No
Slow startup and poor recovery for a normal, but comes with lots of active frames.

---

Spinning Head Butt

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	8f	7f	18f	{{{advantage}}}	5	3.9u		No
Oddballs's jumping hitbox and lots of active frames makes this an appealing launcher.

---

Suicide Throw

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	19f	2f	10f	{{{advantage}}}	13	2.1u - 13.7u		No
Very far reach, but it having a minimum range makes it tricky to use.

---

Back Roll Escape

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
-	-	-	26f	{{{advantage}}}	-	-	-	No
Exactly the same as Front Roll Escape, but rolling backwards.

---

Head Case

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	10f	42f	37f	{{{advantage}}}	5/hit	0.3u		No
Oddball's corner juggle ender. You move backwards quite a lot during the startup, hence the move's bad range stat.

---

Head Case

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	7f	2f	9f	{{{advantage}}}	5/hit	1.9u		No
Great startup and recovery for a stun. One of the few crouching moves that stuns, let alone hits high. Bit of an odd one.
