Introduction

A very attractive and repelent girl... Literally.

Annie is a compassionate woman who was born into a rich family. She is, however, overbearing and bossy, due to her spoiled upbringing. Despite this, she loves animals and children, and currently has 6 dogs, 4 cats, 3 horses and a turtle named Kensington.

During the events that occurred in Power Instinct, Annie saw Otane in her youthful form performing the "Koushokuheki", which is practically the same as her "Rainbow Barrier". Annie prefers that her techniques are unique to her and for that reason she stopped using it, developing a new attack called Rainbow Rise

Annie received an invitation for the Matrimelee tournament in which the prize for the winner was to get engaged with the daughter or the son of the King of Certain Country. Although she didn't have any interest in getting involved at first, she later found that Keith was invited to participate! When Annie found out about Keith's decision to join, the flame of jealousy burned inside of her and she entered the tournament to stop Keith from winning.

Strategy

Anny is a character focused on space control. She uses her projectiles to keep the opponent at a certain distance and land a combo when they let their guard down. This can pester the opponent on many ways but also require you to know what you are facing. If she is in danger you can use her command grab "Cosmic Throw" to land a good ammount of permanent damage, but be carefull because it can be broken out like a normal throw. Her DP is a good reversal if the opponent is reckless.

However, Anny has very serious disadvantages like her low damage output even landing her Ippatsu Ougi, making her reliable on take advantage and keep it longer as possible. Her best tools are too slow to be applied outside of combos and almost her whole moveset is punishable.

To play Anny you must be patient and wait for your chance to land your damage.

What you want to do:

• Keep the opponent in a safe distance with your projectiles.
• Set your Command Grab for nice damage.
• Use your pokes to pester the opponent when is close.
• Do her Ippatsu Ougi consistently.
• Keep most of your meter for CD counter to break the opponent's pressure.

What to avoid:

• Getting cornered.
• Whiff your Specials.
• Roll towards the opponent.
• Spend your meter on Stress Shot and Ippatsu Ougi outside of combos.
