CELTY

OVERVIEW

Celty is an assist focused on neutral poke and oki. 5S being the neutral tool it’s very fast and can catch opponents trying to approach. This also causes hkd if successful. The short cooldown also makes this great since this can strike fear in the opponent. The main downside is the opponent reading the 5S and super jumps over her, this opens up potential punishes. With 6S this creates 50/50 situations where you can simply run up as Celty drops down and do a whole bag of things to keep yourself at the advantage. While blocking and in trump mode, it’s possible to use 6S when a gap happens allowing you to force the opponent to change up their strategy.

Fast neutral poke
Creates 50/50 mixups on oki

Weaknesses

5S can be punished by super jump attempts

MOVE DESCRIPTION

5S

Celty rides across the screen and slashes the opponent. This move is a great neutral tool as it is extremely fast, knocks the opponent down on hit, and has very little recovery. It can be avoided and punished from a super jump so caution is necessary when using it.

6S

Celty falls from the top of the screen then rides back from the direction she came. She hits twice, once while in the air and another when she rides back. This is a strong oki tool that forces the opponent to guess between the first mixup, and if guessed wrong the player is rewarded with an easy follow up due to the 2nd hit launching. If blocked the player can continue their pressure.
