Rabbit Jab

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
3		11	-	21
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	-	-	0	3
A very poor jab across the board. Incredibly slow albeit still plus on block. It is a possible textbook combo starter so it can't be completely ignored, but it is otherwise surpassed by 5, 2, and 2 as combo starters. And in terms of being a close pressure tool, it entirely losses out to 5.

Normally a relatively useless move and should only ever been seen after a 2. After that it can lead into 2 or 6. That said it's part of a silly string noted much further down below...

Low Kick

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
4		10	-	18
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	-	-	2	6
Due to the lackluster nature of Tiffany's 5, this is more or less her substitute for it. This is her quick low commitment poking tool and should be used often in neutral for the sake of hitconfirms. It can be done twice in a row and after doing it twice it notably combos into 4. It starts combos, it's part of textbook combos, and due to it being plus on block the foe has to respect it similarly to the average jab. It cannot be overstated how important this tool is in the neutral and how often she'll be throwing this out in order to keep the opponent from smothering her with pressure, and to establish some pressure of her own thanks to the aforementioned hitconfirm use. Get used to this move as it's her bread and butter in most cases.

Low	-	-	-1	-10
Tiffany's most prominent combo starter as it goes into 3 on hit. It starts her most damaging grounded BnB route so in the case of a stun, you either start with this or convert off of it from j.5.

Round Sweep

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
10		15	-	25
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Low	-	-	2	3
By and far Tiffany's best poking tool. On hit it converts into 6 and on block it frame traps into 5. It's also one of her go-to normals in textbook blockstrings over 5 just due to the frame data alone as they otherwise share the same damage. Keep in mind that while this is a low, this is not a sweep, and the move is better off for it. If you want her equivalent of one, you're looking for 1. However this move is easily TC by 9f moves like Roy's Twister Upper. So how much mileage you can get out of it as a poking tool will vary based on the matchup.

Short Upper

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
7		20	-	23
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	-	-	2	1
This move is virtually useless. One can't combo into it, it can only lead into 4 on hit as everything else will get blocked, and its damage is nothing to write home about. It isn't even a good TC option as she has 3 far superior ones. The only thing slightly notable about it is that it forces the opponent to stand on hit. What use this provides is unknown, again since you can't combo out of it, so as of the time of writing this move should be avoided like the plague.

Scissor Punch

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
13		17	-	21
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	-	-	2	3
One of Tiffany's go-to combo enders/extenders, her blockstring ender, it converts off all her pokes, sets up a strike/throw, goes into her supers, it might as well do her homework too. This ear clap tends to see one of two follow-ups: a conversion into Groovy Special or a throw, both of which lead to solid damage. It should be noted that on hit or block, following with a throw will beat jab mashers (even the more infamous Kyoko and Roy). However most people will opt to duck instead, which you can easily counter with a crouching throw. Either or this move is what establishes the closest thing Tiffany has to close range pressure. However it does have a bad habit of whiffing on crouching characters (Hinata, Momo, Akira, P.Akira) even when used in the middle of a combo. The remedy to this is to have it preceded by 2

There is almost no reason to ever go for this move as 6 is both a better blockstring ender and a better combo ender/extender. In fact you'll probably only see it from misinputs.

Tiffany Straight

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
11		11	-	30
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	Blowback	-	-	-6
Easily one of Tiffany's best tools and her primary defensive option. 4 is a quick straight that can be tacked on to virtually any string and leads to a knockdown. For example: it can be slightly delayed after things like 2x 5 to catch TC attempts. Speaking of TC, that is 4HP's primary usage. It's a very swift tool to punish long reaching yet overcommitting normals and specials. The mere existence of this move forces the opponent to at least somewhat respect Tiffany's defense as she can easily steal her turn if they try and space her out with a slower normal on block. However because it's such a good tool, it's easy to become over reliant on it. It should be noted that this move does NOT deal with jabs, and is easily baited out with a backstep. Get used to it, but don't become predictable.

Tiffany drops her butt down for an overhead. The most notable use for this is after 1 as it hits OTG for a true combo, even if the counter says otherwise.

Body Straight

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
7		15	-	33
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	-	-	2	-9
A slower but far more damaging TC option and the alternative to 4. This punch leads into 5 on hit and the usual textbook combo from there, and can be preceded by 2. The step forward Tiffany takes while performing it gives the move a deceptive amount of range and can be used to trap people who would expect the slightly shorter ranged 4. If preceded by 2 it leads into Tiffany's optimal damage off her grounded textbook BnB combo.

Double Upper

A typical Rival launcher, though the combos available from it aren't anything special so you're better off with a grounded string instead. Especially since 3 comes out faster.

Wonder Kick

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
10		15	-	26
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	-	Mini	-	-2
Tiffany's launcher is somewhat special as it's not punishable on block. Of course the reward it grants isn't much to speak of either. That said there is a cheeky trick you can pull on newer players with it: if this lands you can opt not to jump after the foe and instead whiff 6. If the opponent does a backwards air recovery, they'll end up with their back turned to you meaning you can land an unblockable 3 and link two more after before going for the air combo. That said if the opponent does any other air recover option this is wasted damage at best and you'll eat a punish at worst. In general you should just stick to the traditional use case.

13		18	-	51
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Low	Knockdown	-	-	-28
Tiffany's actual sweep as 2 serves another purpose. This can be used in a textbook combo for a hypothetical high/low mix but it comes out so slowly that in most cases it can easily be reacted to. And as a counter to TC Tiffany has far better options. That said it does lead to 4 on hit and even though it can be reacted to, there's a chance tossing it in where your opponent might expect a 4 or 6 and instead hitting them with a low might throw them off.

Jumping High Kick

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
13		17	-	1 after landing
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
High	Blowback	-	-	-
This is Tiffany's primary air combo ender as it allows her to hit the floor before her opponent. Outside of that it has a special use case as a jump-in. If this lands, it will pop the opponent into the air where she can follow-up with a jumping which will inevitably be blocked. Once that happens hold forward as she descends and Tiffany will end up behind the opponent upon touching the ground while the foe is still in the air. Toss in a 2 just as they land and if performed right the 2 will be unblockable. Allowing her to go into 2 and the usual textbook combo from there.

Stamp Kick

8		11	-	13 after landing

High	-	-	-	-
A stomp that causes Tiffany to bounce off the opponent, where she can potentially follow with another however it will not combo. Once this move is performed she is locked into doing it and it alone. All while providing a notable amount of endlag compared to other aerial attacks. However if performed near point blank off the ground, Tiffany is able to follow up with a textbook combo.

14-28		17-47	-	32
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	Blowback (Max Charge) Sidestep (Heavy Only)	-	2	-8
Charging moves straight while Charging will Sidestep. Both of these tack on a solid amount of stun on to the end of any combo and leave Tiffany slightly plus in her opponent's face. The heavy version's evasive property will only kick in if the button is held. In order to use it as a TC option one has to do it as early as possible as most attacks have slight tracking properties and will catch Tiffany if she doesn't engage the Sidestep property ASAP. Of course with that in mind most cases where this would work, 3 would work too. So the optimized use cases are still being researched.

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery

Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	Blowback, Unblockable	-	1	-18
"Sparkles" after 4 rotations. Blowback after 3rd, Unblockable when Sparkling. This move sucks. There's no two ways about it. You cannot store nor cancel the charge once Tiffany starts winding up, and the punch won't come out until Tiffany has finished the latest rotation of her arm. While this can be held indefinitely, your opponent can simply sidestep twice and be completely clear, or just hit you with virtually anything while you're stuck in place. If the move is used uncharged it is highly punishable on block. Even if one were to stun the opponent and fully charge this move, a regular combo into Groovy Special would do more. So again, there is no reason whatsoever to ever use this move.

Exciting Kick

Mid	-	-	-	-29
Like virtually all dive kicks in this game, this move is incredibly unsafe on block. Compared to its aerial counterpart this move serves little purpose. The difference between the light and heavy versions is the trajectory Tiffany flies at; with the heavy version going a little further forward compared to the light version.

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
20/31		28	-	18 after landing
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	-	-	-	-29
This move has two uses. The first is to escape aerial pressure as it allows Tiffany to dive out of the air and back to the floor. Keep in mind that this isn't fool proof and the opponent can put themselves in the line of fire to block and there isn't a thing Tiffany can do until she hits the ground and awaits her punishment. The second use (specifically with the light version) is in an aerial combo straight after a string. If the opponent neutral recovers after the dive, you can jump up an try to land an air throw. Much like the grounded version, the trajectory Tiffany flies down at is the only difference between the light and heavy versions with the latter traveling a little further forward.

In spite of what it looks like, this is not a DP or a reliable anti-air. As a matter of fact this move basically serves no real purpose at all. While there is one combo route that leads into it, since it has virtually has the same data as the more damaging heavy version its one use case is invalidated. Never use this.

Mid	Blowback	-	-	-48
Again, not a DP and not a reliable anti-air as it's far too slow. That said this works off of 5 and you will hit the ground before the foe. You can even push under them and sneak in a 2 to try and start a combo or a throw. That said both cases require a neutral recovery. Otherwise, this move is basically useless. You shouldn't use it.

Groovy Wheel

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
15		18	-	30

Mid	Blowback	-	-	-6
The first hit beats out TC and the move can be used to chase people down and somewhat stuff jumps-ins from afar. That said this move isn't too useful otherwise and it should be noted that if it's side-stepped and only the first hit connects, it will not knockdown allowing Tiffany to be vulnerable on hit.

Groovy Special

Damage		Startup	Active	Recovery
43		12	-	47
Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	Blowback	-	-	-23
A quick barrage of 4 Groovy Knuckles followed by a Groovy Straight. This is Tiffany's go-to combo ender off of 6 and the knockback allows her to set up an air throw if the opponent tries to recover early. Of the 4 Groovy Knuckles, only the 4th will trigger the stun that allows the Groovy Straight to connect. This is important to note because on hit this super will drop before the 4th punch on the following characters when crouching: Hinata, Momo, Akira, P.Akira, and every single EX Character. Against them it's best to go for Wonderful Kick instead.

Wonderful Kick

Tiffany's alternative metered combo ender. Generally used after either 6 or 2 when it comes to crouching shorter characters (Hinata, Momo, Akira, P.Akira, and every EX Character) when the former case will whiff. In the same combo as Groovy Special, Wonderful Kick will do 1 less damage and cause a sideswap. The lack of a Blowback opportunity makes this super less favorable, but its consistency on hit ensures it'll at least see some use depending on the matchup.

Guard	Special Property	Launcher Type	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
Mid	Super Armor	-	-	-41
Tiffany leaps through the air in an attempt to sit on her opponent's shoulders, and if it connects she spins around them before sending them flying. This is by and far Tiffany's worst super and is arguably among the worst supers in the game. In spite of the animation it's not a grab, it's painfully slow (especially the version which travels quite far), and is easily avoidable. The travel speed makes the super armor a moot point and this move should effectively never be used in a match. ...except there's actually a single use case. Normally this super can't be comboed into, however 2 into 2 will for some inexplicable reason allow Tiffany to combo into it. As of the time of writing no other string allows for this. The combo does 60 damage and can be outdone by other combos out of 2 but it's the only way this move will and should see any use.

With how commonly people duck after blocking 6, you'll be making a lot of use out of this move. While it may not reach the damage of Groovy Special, especially if you land the air throw follow-up, keep in mind that it will leave you nearly right on top of your opponent. It may be worth it to throw your opponent off on occasion by going for this, even if 6 hits, for the sake of a potential mixup on their wake-up.
