Key

Color
red = strong,
orange = somewhat strong,
yellow = somewhat weak,
green = weak,
blue = equal/neutral,
purple = variable
Type
rectangle = defense,
diamond = offense,
oval = movement,
hexagon = situation,
cloud = elements (space/time)


Situation (hexagon)



far-range footsies (AKA neutral)


(purple = variable, hexagon = situation)


Equals
(blue = equal/neutral) projectiles


mid-range footsies


(purple = variable, hexagon = situation)


Beaten by


close-range footsies


(purple = variable, hexagon = situation)


Beaten by


life disadvantage


(blue = neutral, hexagon = situation)


Beaten by


life advantage (often turtles. check what beats turtling!)

Elements (space/time) (cloud)



timer (time control)


(red = strong, cloud = elements(space/time))


Equals


Beats


2d space (space control)


(red = strong, cloud = elements(space/time))


Equals


Beats
  • backdashes give space control to the opponent, because backdashes move you closer into the corner


Beaten by
  • if done reacting to an opponent trying to jump, say, out of the corner
  • this is the smart way to use full jump attacks -- to control space and used on reacting to the opponent.
  • keep full jumps either empty, or wait to press a button after the opponent jumps


Movement (oval)



forward dash/run


(yellow = somewhat weak, oval = movement)


Beats


advanced dash/run footsies and movement (requires high level understanding and skill)


(red = strong, oval = movement)


Equals
  • (blue = equal/neutral) jabs


Beats


dash/run unders (under jumps)


(yellow = somewhat weak, oval = movement)


Beats


Empty jumps (a powerful mechanic; IF you can master empty jump JD's)


(orange = somewhat strong, oval = movement)


Beats


Beaten by


hop attacks (you can't JD during a hop's descent, but can JD during the ascent)


(yellow = somewhat weak, oval = movement)


Beaten by
  • (green = weak) 2AB
  • w/proper spacing or timing


Defense (rectangle)



Pressure v. Turtling


(purple = variable, rectangle = defense)


Pressure is green at mid-range, turns to orange/red in the corner, which is why space control is so effective at getting turtles to make a move


Backdashes


(yellow = somewhat weak, rectangle = defense)


Backdashes are invincible.


Beats


Beaten by
  • backdashes give space control to the opponent, because backdashes move you closer into the corner


JD (GC)


(red = strong, rectangle = defense)


Beats
  • full jump attacks get DESTROYED easily by many things;
    DO NOT throw out random high jump attacks without reaction. You'll get blown up.


Beaten by
  • (orange = somewhat strong) jabs
  • mashing jab or 2B can interrupt lots of JD/GC's

jump normals


(yellow = somewhat weak, diamond = offense)


full jump attacks get DESTROYED easily by many things; DO NOT throw out random high jump attacks without reaction. You'll get blown up.


Equals


Beats
  • neutral jumps can be a hard counter to attempted throw on wake-up.
    this is why wake-up throw is risky!
  • if done reacting to an opponent trying to jump, say, out of the corner
  • this is the smart way to use full jump attacks -- to control space and used on reacting to the opponent.
