Command Normals

6A

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
12		High	12	Special
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
23	10	23	-5	-16
Slowish overhead. On a crouching hit, you can link from wrench toss into Duplex, but there's many other options. You can even combo into 1-bar Queixada.

3B

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
18 (4+4+10)		Low	18 (6×3)	Special
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
13	3+(6)+4+(4)+4	37	KD	-23
Three low hits. Combo glue, but it has range issues. From a jump-in, you'll have to microwalk for it to combo from cr.C, and it doesn't combo from any of her close heavies. The third hit knocks down but all three hits are cancellable, so cancel on the second.

Special Moves

Parafuso

20 (5+5+10)		Mid/Air	9 (3×3)	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
8	3+(5)+3+(12)+3	29	KD	-9
Decent combo tool. Both versions deal the same damage, combo from lights and are just as punishable, so the only real difference besides stun is the forward movement; the B version only goes halfscreen. This version is only really useful if you're charging for Queixada.

236C

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
14		Mid/Air	8	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
14	∞	35	0/+3	-3
A straight wrench toss. Basic projectile. If Pupa hits a crouching opponent with 6A and cancels into either version, she can then link from them into Duplex.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
14		Mid/Air	8	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
14	∞	35	0/+3	-3
Pupa throws her wrench at a higher angle. It can be air blocked, but the pushback can still stifle an air approach.

Flying Dance

20 (8+12)		Mid/Air	4 (2+2)	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
3 (1-6 invuln)	4+(4)+6	43	KD	-26
Only the light version is a true reversal, but both can be blocked in the air.

22 (8+14)		Mid/Air	4 (2+2)	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
3	4+(4)+6	50	KD	-33
Heavy version. More damage dealt than Parafuso, especially with 2A/C tacked on at the end, but way less corner carry. Neither versions cause wall hits.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
10		High/Air	8	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
11	2	≥39	KD	-19
A bonk with the wrench which causes a ground spike. On block, this makes Pupa's DP trickier to punish, but your opponent may be able to duck under this move at certain heights, and it always gets beat by dodge. Recovery depends on how high you are when you cancel into it. Causes a wall hit.

No difference between strengths. Pupa rapid kicks for pissant damage, made even worse by how it adds towards the damage scaling. Pretty easy to punish in neutral.

The followup is also pretty weak, but it finds a niche in how it launches the opponent further than any of her other moves.

Queixada

[D], ]D[

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
20		Mid	10	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
23	3+2	25	-6/-2	-13
The only TAP move in the game — this can even be charged while Pupa isn't on the field. When held for one second, Pupa will throw out a simple stomp, which isn't very rewarding on hit, and it's too slow to combo from any of her grounded routes. More rewarding are the super versions listed below.

Super Moves

Queixada

[D], ]D[

Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
40		High	10	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
24 (1-14 invuln)	2+2	25	KD	-12
If you charge for 10 seconds and have one stock, Queixada hits twice as hard, knocks down and becomes an overhead. The move's main flaw stems from how holding D deprives Pupa of both guard cancels and First Impacts, the latter of which would've been great to secure this move's damage. As it stands, landing this after a wall hit on its own deals less damage than a First Impact combo into Au. It can, however, combo after her tag-in, and even from 6A which Au can't.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
80		Unblockable	10	-
Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
30 (1-22 invuln)	2+2	25	KD	-
Charge for 30 seconds and have two stocks, and Queixada will hit four times as hard and become unblockable. It does, however, become too slow to combo after her tag-in. As it can be dodged pretty easily, the only way to secure it would be after a wall hit. As a juggle, it outdamages a First Impact combo into 236236D, but you could also reset with st.A and cancel into it to hit it meaty. This works because ROTD has a dead frame after recovery where you can only block.

Au

Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. Hit	Adv. Guard
10 (1-12 invuln)	3+(4)+4+(20)+4+(4)+8	29	KD	-20
Pupa's real super. All hits are overhead. A neat thing about the super is how it jails an airborne opponent back to the ground, so you get the full reward in juggles and anti-airs.
Damage		Guard	Stun	Cancel
50 (5×4+10×4)		High	-	-

10 (1-12 invuln)	3+(3)+3+(15)+3+(3)+3+(12)+3+(3)+3+(15)+3+(3)+8	29	KD	-20
Pupa cartwheels four times and deals more damage.
