Introduction

Anny was invited to the Matrimelee tournament with the prize of getting engaged to the prince of a certian country. She didn't have any interest in getting involved until she later found out that Keith Wayne was invited to participate. When Anny found out about Keith's decision to participate she entered the tournament to stop Keith from winning in a brunt of jelousy.

Overview

Strengths

Weaknesses

Decent 5.A and 5.B normals but cannot confirm off of them. Decent 6.B overhead, but can be used to extend combos. Decent damage if confirmed into her Ippatsu Ougi. Swannie Crash is an excellent projectile that's great for spacing. Excellent 9.C. Can be used as a hyper hop and a quick overhead. Her Stress Shot command grab does 50 permanent damage.

Low damage output without meter or counter hits. Slow Great Attacks. No reliable Anti-Airs. Limited Combo Potential. Her special moves can be easily punished on block/whiff and even one hit. 6.B overhead is slow and should only be used inside of combos. Stress Shot cannot be comboed into due to her roll start-up and can be grabbed or poked out like a normal roll. Her pressure can easily be jumped or rolled over. Photon Burst (both versions) is very punishable on whiff, block, and on hit point-blank. Photon Burst cannot be comboed into. Photon Burst has landing recovery frames no matter the jump height.

Strategy

You will need to be on your toes playing Anny. She is very limited in damage and close-range options so conditioning is your opponent is your best option. She can use her Swannie Crash and 5.B to keep the opponent properly spaced. Both versions of Swannie Crash are amazing but can easily be rolled through. Make sure not to overdo your zoning so you don't get punished. Anny's 5.B is an amazing poke but cannot link into anything, use it to check your opponent.

Anny is limited at closer ranges but still has a few options to keep the opponent guessing. Anny's 6.B is a crucial tool for her combos and conditioning. You can cancel 6.B into Anny's command grab to try and get some solid permanent damage. Keep in mind 6.B does not combo into her command grab stress shot and you can be hit out if predicted or read. You can also use her 6.B overhead to confirm into 623.C or 46A-13.C for a nice chunk of damage. Additionally, Anny can utilize her 9.C for quick overhead confirms and condition the opponent into blocking high.
