Thrill Kill/Mammoth

Mammoth Overview Strategy Combo Strings

Overview

On the surface, Mammoth appears to have all the signs of a bad character - slow movement speed, very slow buttons, and a gigantic hitbox that allows his opponents to be able to bully him all up and down the stage if they rush him down.

His saving grace is that both Rolling Boulder and Running Boulder, the former hitting mid and the latter hitting low, traverse the stage fairly quickly. This allows you to constantly make your opponent guess how to block or counter your approaches. On top of that, pushes your opponent quite a ways away to create space for more bowling ball guessing games, and he has access to a super launcher that can lead to an astronomical amount of damage in the corner.

At a glance:
Pros	Cons
Damage Potential: Mammoth can deal an absurd amount of damage in the corner with his super launcher strings. Dash Attacks: Both Rolling Boulder and Running Boulder together form the basis of your infamous bowling ball 50/50s, and can be incredibly hard to sidestep for the slower members of the cast.	Rreeaallyy Ssllooww: Even his dash speed is pitiful, making it so he has to use a backwards dash attack to run away from pressure. Big 'ol Hitbox: Other characters have Mammoth-specific corner juggle strings that allow for more damage. Slow Buttons: If your opponent is right in your face, you're pretty much forced to guess with counters since you won't be able to attack out of even fairly minus moves.

Swinging Monkey

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	7^f	7^f	7^f	-7 / +1	6	9.2^u	-	Switch
Fantastic low with great advantage that travels quite a ways. Links into a multitudinous number of special moves, but only strings into them on a late hit from far away due to how many active frames this attack has. You can be up to -1 / +6 on a late hit.

Back Kick

Monkey Kick

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	16^f	3^f	18^f	-14 / +25	6	11.2^u		Switch
Insane distance and damage potential when linked into Falling Coconut, however it's only reliable when you're directly facing a corner.

Rolling Boulder

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	6^f	8^f	14^f	-15 / +25	6	18.4^u		-
This move is so stupid. It seemingly comes out of nowhere, speeds across the whole stage, hits mid, and results in a hard knockdown. It's a "get out of the corner free" card, however relying on it too much will be met with a low block punish or parry.

	Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
On Grab		18^f	-	60^f	-3 / -2	20	2.2^u		-
On Hit		16^f	2^f	8^f	-2 / +5	5	2.3^u	-	-
Unlike almost every other command grab in the game, this move will snatch players blocking high. It nets good damage, but it's short range, minus advantage, and long startup doesn't make it an appealing punish choice.

Falling Coconut

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	34^f	1^f	20^f	-14 / -6	15	4.7^u		-
Mammoth's massive damage OTG ender. Lots of ways to link into it for big bonus damage to end a match.

Gym Kick From Crouch

/

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	6^f	3^f	17^f	-13 / -1	3	5.3^u	-	-
Fast low (at least for Mammoth...) that links to a number of special moves.

Running Boulder

/

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	5^f	14^f	15^f	/ -12	6	18.1^u		-
A sister move to Rolling Boulder that hits low instead of mid, but causes a normal knockdown instead of a hard one. Advantage is much worse than Rolling's is, but it having an almost identical startup allows you to make your opponent guess whether they need to block/parry high or low when you start rollin' in.

Grabs / Misc Moves

Mammoth's missed grab animation is 22^f long so don't miss, friends.

Triple Fist Head Bash

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	0^f	-	94^f	- / +28	21	1.0^u		-
This grab is unreal. It's damage is equal to most character's rear grabs, its final punch hitbox is huge, it results in a hard knockdown, and on top of that you can juggle afterwards with a double Monkey Kick which then can string into Falling Coconut for way too much damage for a 0 frame grab.

Grab Coconut

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	0^f	-	25^f	- / +9	15	1.0^u		-
Another fantastic grab. On top of it being very plus after your squeeze, it also starts a tricky infinite, which you can read more about here. If your opponent has perfect mashing, you have 4^f after the grab's startup to input a button to squeeze (which can't be buffered) or else they will escape the grab.

Gone Bowling

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	0^f	-	81^f	- / +19	25	1.0^u		-
Good damage, but probably won't be your go-to grab.

Rag Doll

Hit	Startup	Active	Recovery	Adv. (Block / Hit)	Damage	Range	Property	Stance
	0^f	-	56^f	- / +19	31	1.0^u		-
Perhaps one of the best grabs in the game. Very long grab range, very high damage, and good advantage to block any wake-up attacks. Spamming this grab is a viable strategy as long as your opponent isn't crouching or tries to attack you with longer startup moves that don't have partial invulnerability.
