Elena
In a nutshell
(Intro paragraph to describe overall gameplay)
Notable Changes from USF4 to Omega
- Hurtbox: wider with a more consistent shape; taller head hurtbox when crouching
- Throw: slightly shorter range
- Movement Changes:
- Jumps: 4f faster, shorter distance
- Forward Dash: 1f faster (17f > 16f), slightly shorter distance
- Backdash: slightly longer distance
- Normal Move Changes:
- Command Normal Changes:
- Slide (3HK) - more recovery, worse on block
- Round Arch (4HK) - faster, more active, better frame advantage makes it a really strong meaty
- Special Move Changes:
- Super/Ultra Changes:
- Super (K) does more damage
- Sylph Amulet - New Super (236236P) - sucks opponent in (relatively low damage), cancels into either Ultra on hit
- Ultra 2 - lost most of its safe activation routes due to removal of hard knockdowns
- P Super mitigates this problem, but this costs a ton of resources
