Introduction
Jennifer Walters is the cousin of Bruce Banner (better known as Hulk) and a lawyer who runs afoul of a crime boss and is near-fatally shot. Bruce saves Jennifer by volunteering for a blood transfusion, thus exposing her to some of Banner's gamma radiation. As She-Hulk, she contains a milder form of the Hulk transformation (although her strength is still immense to a normal person) wherein she retains most of her intelligence and personality. Unlike her cousin, who tries to keep his transformation under control, She-Hulk prefers her transformed self and will often stay in it indefinitely.
In UMvC3, She-Hulk is a close range fighter with relatively strong normals but almost no long-range options. One of her core moves his her 236X command grab, which causes Dizzy if it connects, leading to full combos. She-Hulk is separated from other grappler style characters by her multiple stance moves. She has access to a crouching stance (Runner's Start), a running stance (Chariot) and an airborne stance (Catapult). She seamlessly switches between these stances during combos or pressure in order to access powerful stance-exclusive moves.

Unique Mechanic
She-Hulk has multiple stances, Runner's Start, Chariot, and Catapult that form the core of her special moves. Almost all of her grounded normals and specials can be cancelled into one or more of these stances. Runner's Start also cancels into Chariot and Catapult. Nearly all moves benefit in terms of framedata and combo-ability when cancelled. Additionally, all of She-Hulk's assists as Cross-over Counters can be cancelled into one or more of her stances.

THC Hyper: Emerald Cannon. Recommended assist. She-Hulk dashes forward about half of fullscreen distance, then slides across the ground. The slide is a Low hit that is OTG capable. On hit, pops opponents a short distance into the air for a short relaunch. Can be useful as a quick OTG for point characters whose solo OTG options are poor. As a low-hitting assist, it can be used to set up High/Low mixups or even Unblockables when paired with an Overhead attack from the point character. |

THC Hyper: Emerald Cannon. She-Hulk dashes the same distance as during Torpedo, but performs a running armbar attack instead. Although this assist does have some armored frames, they are only active for a short window and absorb a maximum of one hit, so it is unlikely to be able to blow past an opponent's projectile attacks. If this assist hits a grounded opponent, it causes a Crumple state which lasts roughly two seconds, allowing the point character to follow up with basically any attack of their choosing. Outside of this, Clothesline is unremarkable as an assist. |

THC Hyper: Emerald Cannon. She-Hulk performs a Flash Kick-esque kick into the air. Like most reversal-esque assists, it lacks any invincibility or armor, and knocks opponents very high into the air on hit. It does come out extremely quickly by assist standards. Unlike the point character version of Somersault Kick, a Crossover Counter into this assist can not be followed up into Chariot or Catapult stances, although it can be canceled into Runner's Start once She-Hulk lands. |

She-Hulk performs a forward kick with very good range and speed. However, this attack also causes a large amount of pushback on contact. 5H > 5S will whiff even at point blank range, and so She-Hulk's combo potential off this attack is very low. Considering the strength of She-Hulk's 2H as an alternative, this attack is usually omitted from chains. |

She-Hulk slides across the ground, advancing forward about 1/4 of fullscreen distance while kicking. This is a critical offensive tool for She-Hulk. Its forward movement allows her to convert from the outer edges of her longer pokes (except 5H) into a 5S Launcher. While sliding, She-Hulk's crouching profile is significantly lowered, and she can use this attack to advance underneath beams or other projectiles. She-Hulk can kara-cancel her 2H slide into her 236X command grabs in order to significantly extend their range. Stance Cancel

She-Hulk grabs a lamppost (!!) and performs a slow, massive swinging attack with it. The attack reaches roughly halfscreen and causes a Wall Bounce if it hits, but is catastrophically slow, leading to it not seeing much use. 4H is special-cancelable (unlike 6H) even on whiff, and so its massive recovery can be mitigated by canceling into 22S. 4H can also be used as a kara-cancel into her 236X command grab, scooping opponents who are afraid of getting hit by the lamppost. |

She-Hulk enters a crouching stance. It has functionally the same profile as her regular crouch despite the unique animation. She-Hulk will remain in this stance for up to 60 seconds, but it can be canceled early by pressing S, which ends the stance with a 5 frame recovery window. Almost all of She-Hulk's grounded normal attacks and specials can be canceled into Runner's Start, making it useful as a universal free cancel tool. At a minimum duration of 13 frames when S-canceled as early as possible, all of She-Hulk's attacks except for 2L benefit from having their recovery canceled into Runner's Start. Being able to rapidly cancel other specials into Runner's Start to quickly access She-Hulk's other stance attacks also adds additional combo/blockstring options. She-Hulk can transition into her two other stances - Chariot and Catapult - by holding forward or backward respectively on the stick during Runner's Start. This is the fastest and most reliable way to access these two stances. Additionally, if She-Hulk remains in Runner's Start for its full 60 frame duration, she will automatically transition into an enhanced version of Chariot which has Hyper Armor. Stance Cancel

She will continue to run until making contact with an opponent or the edge of the stage. Chariot can also be canceled at any point by pressing S. By itself, Chariot does nothing except give She-Hulk access to three special attacks by pressing L, M or H during the stance (see below). |

She-Hulk performs a running punch. Has a small window of Armor, which can be combined with the armor of a fully-charged Chariot to blow through an opponent's attack and punish them, but is otherwise primarily a combo tool. The attack has a wide hitbox and can hit as a crossunder, which makes it a decent option for oncoming mixups. If Clothesline hits a grounded opponent, they are placed into a Crumple state. This is very difficult to combo into without specific assists such as Spencer's Slant Shot, but effectively guarantees a full combo afterwards with a starter of your choosing. If Clothesline hits an airborne opponent, it causes a Wall Bounce. This is a common combo extension and much more practical to land in a solo combo. However, keep in mind that using Wall Bounce here will prevent it from being available on later in the combo during Emerald Cannon (236XX). Clothesline can be canceled into Runner's Start at any point in its duration, allowing She-Hulk to effectively chain the attack into any of her other stance actions. |

She-Hulk performs a leaping backflip kick, functioning almost identically to the non-stance Somersault Kick. It has no armor or invincibility, but is very fast and has an enormous hitbox, making it very difficult to contest. Has long recovery, although most of it is spent flying backwards which makes it harder to punish than the frame data would suggest. Additionally, Somersault Kick+ can be chained into Chariot or Catapult stances upon landing in order to give it slightly better recovery. Frame advantage when stance-canceled is given in parentheses.

She-Hulk's walljump stance. She performs a large backwards jump and - upon reaching the wall behind her - leaps off it back towards the opponent. It takes 26 frames to reach the wall and leap off of it. After the walljump, She-Hulk remains airborne for 38 additional frames (27-65). The walljump lands after covering roughly 3/4 of fullscreen distance. While airborne after the Wall Jump, She Hulk can perform one of three special stance attacks by pressing L, M, H, or S. However, she cannot perform other actions or block until landing. |

She-Hulk attacks downwards with a falling elbow drop. This attack overrides the walljump's momentum with a harsh down-forward fall, and so it will greatly shorten the distance of her jump if done early, but can actually extend the distance if done very late. Causes a Ground Bounce on hit which can be easily followed up with a 5S launcher or similar attack. |

She-Hulk's command grab. It is fairly slow by Marvel throw standards, but has respectable range. If She-Hulk grabs an opponent with any version of Heavy Strike, they are put into a Dizzy state for 120 frames. This basically guarantees that she can start a combo with an attack of her choice.
All versions of She-Hulk's command grab can be kara-canceled into from either 2H or 4H, which can enhance their range or encourage opponents to block. Unlike most throws, the H version appears to scale, so the second hit will actually deal 50,400 damage, instead of 56,000. |

She-Hulk leaps at the opponent and performs a dropkick. Emerald Cannon has two special follow-up attacks which must be manually input, but do not require any additional meter (see below). Emerald Cannon by itself does very poor damage, but landing one or both of the follow-up attacks greatly increases the damage potential. The dropkick causes a Wall Bounce on hit, which is required to combo into the follow-up attacks. If Wall Bounce has already been used earlier in the combo, Emerald Cannon will only cause a normal Hard Knockdown, which She-Hulk can not follow up without a DHC. |

The attack knocks the opponent very high up, and forces them to fall all the way back down for a Hard Knockdown. This takes long enough that She-Hulk can recover and continue the combo. It is possible to re-OTG with Torpedo or Hard Tag to another character with a fast OTG attack like Doctor Doom or Dante. |

Cinematic Airthrow hyper. She-Hulk leaps up into the air reaching upwards. If she grabs an opponent out of the air, they are pulled into a cinematic where she flings them around, ending with them being tossed into the wall for a Wall Bounce, which starts a combo. During the cinematic, the hyper can be "mashed" by spinning the stick. Every 8 different directional inputs adds an additional 5,000 damage hit, up to a total of 9 extra hits at 72 inputs. You do not need to actually spin the stick, only rapidly input different directions. This hyper is very powerful for Guard Breaks, resets, and oncoming setups. The airthrow hitbox has a decent size and is invulnerable until active, so if you can force an opponent to tech out into the air above She-Hulk, this hyper can be almost impossible to escape. In this sense, it functions similarly to Spider-Man's Ultimate Web Throw. If an opponent in the air pushblocks one of She-Hulk's assists (or even some of her own attacks), it is possible to react with this hyper and grab them out of the pushblock recovery. It is also useful as anti-Dark Phoenix technology, since Phoenix is automatically placed airborne when she goes Dark, and She-Hulk's invincibility can dodge the shockwave effect. When landing this hyper, keep in mind it automatically consumes your Wall Bounce, preventing you from using it for Clothesline extensions or accessing the follow-up hits of Emerald Cannon. |

Cinematic level 3 command grab hyper. If the opponent is close to She-Hulk on the ground when this hyper activates, they are pulled into a cinematic where Jenny attempts to "save" the opponent from being hit by an incoming car, only for it to explode on top of them instead. The grab has slow pre-flash startup but is invincible and can not be reacted to or escaped post-flash by anything. The cinematic causes a Hard Knockdown which She-Hulk can follow up with her usual Torpedo OTG. This hyper is unique among command grabs in that it also has a second, alternate attack version that occurs if the throw misses. The car that appears in the cinematic will drive across the screen as a enormous, high-priority projectile. The car effectively protects She-Hulk from retaliation even if her throw attempt fails. It can also be comboed into for style points, although it does much less damage than the actual throw hyper would. Additionally, the recovery is so fast that opponents who jump to escape this hyper are then vulnerable to being airthrown by 623XX. |

Team Position
Although She-Hulk is not a popular character, she has seen some tournament success in multiple team positions, including both the Point and Anchor position. Teams featuring her are often flexible teams that frequently shift team order mid-match and still work comfortably. While on point, She-Hulk benefits greatly from having teammates in the back whose assists can cover her poor neutral game and allow her to approach safely. She can also make use of hard tag combos to reset scaling after landing her command grab or airthrow.
In the backline, She-Hulk provides an OTG assist in the form of Torpedo, which is useful for character with poor solo OTG options, and can also be used to set up high/low unblockables. She-Hulk scales well with X-Factor, as the 30% speed boost makes her stance switches much faster, opening new combo routes. Having access to lots of meter as an anchor character allows her to more frequently use her Anti-Air level 1 hyper, and her command grab Level 3, adding a lot of danger to her mixup game.
Notable Synergies
Thor: Thor's Mighty Spark takes noticeably longer to fire than comparable beam assists like Doom's or Iron Man's. In the case of She-Hulk, this can actually work to her advantage. She can call Thor before entering her crouch stance, and the beam will still be connecting after her follow-up attack completes. This makes it easier for her to use Thor's assist as a combo extender than many other assists. Also, Thor's OTG options are very limited, and so having an OTG assist like Jenny greatly expands his combo potential. Thor and She-Hulk can also set up many dangerous guard break setups by having Thor DHC into her anti-air command grab. For example, Thor can attempt a grounded command grab, and then reaction DHC to her if the opponent jumps away. He can also cancel aerial normals into Mighty Tornado, and then DHC after the blockstun of his normal ends but before his own hyper connects.
Players to Watch: Abegen (Thor/Tron/She-Hulk), Luizmau (Thor/She-Hulk/Doom), St.Valentine (She-Hulk/Spencer/Chris), Viceroy (She-Hulk/Spencer/Strange)
Spencer: She-Hulk's Clothesline stance attack causes a crumple against grounded opponents. She can use Spencer's Slant Shot assist to convert an extended combo into a restand and then land a grounded clothesline. This setup is similar to the more popular Nova/Spencer shell, and works in mostly the same way, including enabling hard tag setups to more damaging characters. She-Hulk can also use her strong grounded movement to set up cross-under setups by calling Spencer against an airborne opponent (such as during an Oncoming Mixup) and dashing or sliding underneath the opponent.
