Standing Far
Snka.gif 5/2/6 +4/+2 HL
Shermie98 stA.png
A standard anti-air normal. Shorter horizontal range than other characters. In most situations that Standing A could be used, Crouching C would be preferable but this move still has its uses.

Shermie98 stB2.png
The first hit is cancelable. This move could link from cr.A and cr.B. It's more difficult to link from cr.B but being able to threaten with a low hitting, hit-confirm combo is well worth learning to help break alternate guarding opponents. It's a decent anti air to use from mid-range to stop a hop but it stays out for quite a bit of time so it's relatively easy to sweep.
Snkc.gif 14/2+3/27 -12/-14 HL
Shermie98 stC1.png
Shermie98 stC2.png
An outstretched palm attack that covers the area above Shermie's head and stop about right in front of her face. It's a move that is in the same spirit of E. Honda's far Fierce punch. This move isn't too reliable in hitting opponents let alone for pressuring and there are better anti-air options than it. It's used occasionally to frame trap an opponent by making the opponent to block a normal and if the opponent was mashing a reversal hop or tried to approach on the ground, the opponent will just be struck by the Standing C.
Snkd.gif 8/5/30 -15/-17 HL
Shermie98 stD.png
A high kick that is similar to Goro's Standing D. What this move lacks is the horizontal range that Goro's Standing D has and it's very situational in anti-airing with.
Snkc.gif+Snkd.gif 11/6/17 KD/-1 S,Su HL
Shermie98 stCD.png
Shermie defies gravity and positions her pelvic area in a stationary space and performs a drop kick without dropping. Acts like a sobat kick and it goes over most crouching attacks. Also functions as an anti air from a jump that was spaced far upon landing.
Crouching
Snka.gif 5/2/6 +4/+2 HL
Shermie98 crA.png
A fast slap without much horizontal range. Could be used to do a meaty frame trap such as Crouching A > Close C. Generally it doesn't have much uses. Hits mid.
Snkb.gif 5/5/9 -2/-4 L
Shermie98 crB.png
A low poke that isn't terribly fast. Good to use occasionally to break alternate guarding. Links into Standing B.
Snkc.gif 4/3+7/17 -7/-9 HL
Shermie98 crC1.png
Shermie98 crC2.png
This is Shermie's best anti-air normal. Beats out most jump-ins. Easily whiff cancelable into Forward B for whatever kind of zoning/gimmick.
Snkd.gif 10/8/19 KD/-9 L
Shermie98 crD.png
A relatively good sweep. It's good in that it shrinks Shermie's hitbox extremely low and it's hard to properly hop or jump onto her with a jump in. One would have to do a deep jump in to punish it; otherwise, this move easily acts like an anti-air since many jumps get caught by it. This sweep is also slower than most other sweeps and it's not as good to play footsies with.
Jump
Snka.gif 6/8/- -/- H
Shermie98 jA.png
An air to air. Mainly used during a hop to air to air a full/super jump.
Snkb.gif 6/6/- -/- H
Shermie98 jB.png
Has a similar application to Jumping A.
Snkc.gif 6/8/- -/- H
Shermie98 jC.png
One of Shermie's best jump-in attacks. It's an extremely good ambiguous cross up with a good hitbox. This is a key component of her okizeme game. It can air to air to an extent but it's not as good as her others.
Snkd.gif 9/8/- -/- H
Shermie98 jD.png
An air-to-ground jump-in attack that's hard for a number of the cast to anti-air. It's similar to Goro's Jumping D. It's cross up hitbox is not as big as Jumping C but it's still pretty big for a KOF cross up. It also functions as an air-to-air attack against an airborne opponent that is about at the same height in the jump.
Snkc.gif+Snkd.gif 13/4/- KD/- HL
Shermie98 jCD.png
This move is similar to Shermie's Neutral Jumping D but her legs are further apart, signifying that her hitbox on this move is also wider. As a Jumping CD move, it doesn't have overhead properties but can control space like Neutral Jumping D from multiple angles and jumping/hopping trajectories.
Neutral Jump
Snkd.gif 6/10/- -/- H
Shermie98 njD.png
One of Shermie's best tools when going on the defense or trying to keep someone out during her neutral game. Shermie does a drop kick that directly hits horizontally and it beats out most aerial approaches as well as some grounded ones. Shermie could also keep herself safe from preemptive air-to-air attacks that are trying to stuff this attack by just Air Guarding during a Full Neutral Jump. Best not to use it too generously or the opponent could adapt and run under the full jump and meaty/anti-air Shermie on the other side.

Shermie Stand - f + B

A two hit move. The first hit has a mid property while the second hit has an overhead property (unless Shermie cancels into Shermie Stand from a normal move). Although not to be used too much, the first hit of Shermie Stand could be used as a means of anti-air. When canceled into, the second hit of this move becomes cancelable into a special or super although there isn't anything that combos afterwards.
