	Rocket Raccoon fires a second energy blast. Has the same damage, properties, and angles as the original; additionally, you don't have to choose the same angle as the first shot, so feel free to mix angles together as necessary.

	Damage is listed as ground/air. Rocket Raccoon fires a paralyzing electric blast from his main weapon, leaving the opponent vulnerable for a long while. At full screen, this is long enough to do Tunnel Rat LP and get a full combo afterwards. The LP version always fires straight ahead. On the ground, the HP version fires at a 45° angle up-forward, while in the air, the HP version fires at a 45° angle down-forward.

	500+800 (1300)	Mid
	Rocket Raccoon summons Groot to the stage with a thud, then an overhead-looking (not actually an overhead) slam. Although Rocket can move around and act before Groot is finished, he can't use this move, Groot Splinter, or Animal Combination until a little bit after Groot has fully disappeared off-screen.

Strategy

Partner Selection

Rocket is a strong support character between a lockdown gun super, traps, and decent zoning ability, as well as a strong high/low mixup game with quick, long range lows and excellent instant overheads via his float. As such, he's a great partner for almost anyone in the game, though characters who need a lot of support like Hulk or Black Panther or characters who are themselves focused on their strong mixups like Chun-Li or Zero might be better partnered with one of the even better supports like Dante, Dormammu, Winter Soldier, or Sigma. Even still, pairing these characters with Rocket is pretty good.

Reality

Soul

Space

Rocket has great pressure and the opponent not being able to switch out during Space storm is incredibly good for him. This is almost certainly his best stone overall. Mind Having a bunch of meter to lay down super traps is nice and can heavily restrict the opponent's movemen, and he also has good potential to tick or reset into Mind Surge. He's one of the better characters to run Mind with; however, it's not as good as his other options.
