Chaos Code/NSC/Celia II Kai

Story

Celia II Kai
『セリアII改』

Celia II (Kai to her friends) was created to guard the Chaos Code, but really all she wants to do is unblockable people. Unfortunately, she got a bit beat up and had to get a refit with worse parts, so she's not as strong as she used to be. She's pretty mad because her unblockable costs 3 meters and can be rolled on reaction.

Playstyle

Health: 28000
Stun: 70

Celia II Kai (just called Kai to avoid confusion with her boss form "Celia II") is a relatively versatile character, with low risk options that lead to high reward. She doesn't have a meterless reversal, and lacks a solid grounded, anti-air but more than makes up for it with dominating air buttons and some very high reward metered reversals.

Mobility (Run vs. Step)

Run: Standard run. Cancelable into buttons or superjumps. The most common choice for Kai.

Step: Standard hop. Kai can do some alright tic grabs with it. She'll also build meter faster.

Normal Moves

5A

5A File:CC C2 5A.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Short ranged poke. Can be staggered and cancels into itself. Misses an opponent who is crouching, unless you hit them with a normal prior to it. Not the best anti-air due to its hitbox (hits lower than Kai's face), however it is useful after doing an air string to force the opponent to block your air unblockable 5A into 5C hitconfirm.

5B

5B File:CC C2 5B.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low 7 - - ?/-1 Yes - Kai's dress pokes out. Less range than 2B, so not as good as 2A for poking. Has a higher hitbox than 2B, making it whiff on opponent's in a really low otg comboable state, however, 5b when it does hit as an otg, raises the opponent into the air higher and pushes you farther away (useful for spacing specific timing on exceed combos).

5C

5C File:CC C2 5C.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - Yes Stagger Kai attacks with a Mid ranged scythe swipe downwards. Hits from about 2 character lengths. Moves forward a little.

cl.5C

cl.5C File:CC C2 cl5C.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - Yes Stagger A short ranged upwards swipe. Trades with a lot of stuff when used as an anti-air, but still probably her best meterless option. Her hurtbox lowers when using this move (lower than her standing hurtbox), so getting used to timing this to stuff people above you can be important.

5D

5D File:CC C2 5D.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - No Launch An axe rotates around Kai's entire body. Moves her forward some, hits for about 2 character lengths, vaccuums in on hit (but not on block). Doesn't deter cross-ups, the hitbox is only in the front of Kai. It's not cancelable, but you can link off it.

2A

2A File:CC C2 2A.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - Low - - - - Yes - Kai's hand turns into a drill and bores into the enemy's feet. Hits 2 times (the first hit is low, the second is a mid) and can be linked into itself if the first 2a hits very late and is done on an opponent's wake up. Can be chained into 2D for a knockdown as a small hitconfirm if you're outta range for something else. This move is less plus on block than 2b, however its active frames is longer than 2b, making it easier to time your normals for oki. If an opponent is also upbacking your pressure, 2a (1hit) chained to 2b as a blockstring will catch them. With 2a's long hitbox it can be chained into 2D even at max range.

2B

2B File:CC C2 2B.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - Low - - - - Yes - Kai throws out a kick towards the ankle. Low with slightly less range than 2A. If chained together as a blockstring, the opponent cannot mash you in between, however there is a big enough gap to jump out from 2B to 2B. 2B is also plus enough on block to frame trap with cl.5C if slowed down well enough.

2C

2C File:CC C2 2C.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - Yes Stagger A cannon fired from Kai's mouth. Hits about 2 character lengths. Can be linked from 2a and 2b if very close. This move pushes the opponent far away when they are in an otgable state, but helps regulate height specific combos such as 2b2c in the corner to help for easy rejump combos in the corner.

2D

2D File:CC C2 2D.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low - - - - No Launch Kai's leg turns into a saw and extends. Hits low, causes knockdown. You can pick up for a combo on Counter Hit by dashing afterwards.

j.A

j.A File:CC C2 j.A.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High - - - - - - Kai's hand turns into a drill, just like her 2A. Very Good ranged air to air that hits twice and is easily confirmable. Can be used to whiff a crouching opponent after an instant air dash and catch an opponent off guard if they were expecting to block a normal. Instant air dash jump A into low or throw can make opponents second guess themselves.

j.B

j.B File:CC C2 j.B.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High - - - - - - Kai kicks downwards whilst in the air. Not as good an air to air or jump-in as J.A and J.C respectively. It's main use is to hit while rising in situations where j.C will whiff, as well as a good normal use for a tick throw after an instant air dash. Also at instant air dash height, can be chained into jump C to do a double overhead as you descend.

j.C

j.C File:CC C2 j.C.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High - - - - Yes Stagger Kai's scythe slashes upwards making for an alright air-to-air and a really good jump in. It's best use is in air footsies battles where it often out-prioritizes other normals. When jump C lands really deep on an opponent who is blocking, you can jump C fuzzy guard them if they blocked the first jump C high and then transitioned to blocking low. Has less blockstun than jump D (normally) unless done at very specific low heights.

j.D

j.D File:CC C2 j.D.png

Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High - - - - Yes Stagger Kai's scythe twirls about her waist, glowing red. Mainly used for AD cross-ups as the hitbox is all around her. Not as good as J.A as an air-to-air, but a good jump-in and a good move to come down with after an air tech. Hitbox is only at her waist, so when using it in rejump combos, use her waist as a guideline to know when to hit with it.

6A

6A File:CC C2 6A.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai's hand becomes a bigger drill and hits three times. Vacuums in on the first hit, then pushes away. All hits are cancelable.

Guard Break

Guard Break 6BD File:CC C2 6BD.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties - - Unblockable 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai's unblockable attack. Can help kill an opponent through resetting an opponent during a combo. Typically used during blockstun or after 6a [1-hit].

Throw

Throw 5/6AC File:CC C2 5AC.png	Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 3800 - - - - - - No - Regular throw. Pushes the opponent relatively far away.

236P

Raging Tomahawk 236P File:CC C2 236P.png

Version Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties A - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai flings one Tomahawk across the screen at a medium speed. Recovers decently on block due to push-back. C - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai flings two Tomahawks instead of one. Start up is longer, blades seem to be a bit faster. Plus on block when done point blank. EX - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - One giant tomahawk is thrown at a 35 degree angle. Start up is very quick, can be done in the corner to keep pressure as it's plus on block.

623P

Deadly Spark 623P Air OK File:CC C2 623P.png PSYCHO CRUSHER PSYCHO CRUSHER

Version Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties A - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes Float Kai spins around horizontally on fire, similar to Bison's psycho crusher. Useful as a combo ender. Ground hitbox is smaller than air version. C - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes Float Kai spins about 3/4th screen, crossing the enemy (On block) up if they are within this distance. More damage. EX - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes Float Kai spins horizontally and turns purple instead of red, shooting towards the opponent. Very fast start-up and recovery. After the startup of the animation, Kai's hurtbox is extremely small, allowing her to weave through projectiles if spaced well vertically.

214P

Hell's Configuration 214P Air OK File:CC C2 214P.png

Version Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties A - - High 5 - - ?/-3 Yes Groundbounce Kai hops off the ground and forward a third of the screen, bringing down her scythe along the way. C - - High 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai hops off the ground about a half screen distance, bring down her scythe in the meantime. Causes an OTGable knockdown. EX - - High 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai hops about a half screen, covered in flames. Hits on the way up for combos and causes an OTGable knockdown. It's also invincible making it a potential reversal, although it's rather slow for a DP. When using this version in the air, it does not have otgable properties. Typically after landing, the EX version in the air, whiffed 2D as they land allows for a 2A meaty or 623B command throw mixup.

214K

Tragic Disparity 214K File:CC C2 214K.png MUDA MUDA	MUDA MUDA		Version Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties B - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai surrounds herself with a green force field. Reflects projectiles. Can be used as an anti-air but it's very punishable on block/whiff D - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai surrounds herself with an orange force field. Absorbs projectiles. Used in corner combos because of the wall slam effect EX - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes Wallbounce Kai surrounds herself with a purple force field. Reflects projectiles. Only version of the move that is invulnerable on startup and on CH it causes a giant wall bounce that's easy to confirm from. It's in counter hit state even during recovery so try not to have it whiff or get blocked.

Version Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties 623 - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai turns into pixels and teleports forward. Has invincibility frames for the duration of the teleport, but has recovery at the end. Can be followed up with a second teleport using 6BD or 4BD. 421 - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai turns into pixels and teleports backward. Has invincibility frames for the duration of the teleport, but has recovery at the end. Can be followed up with a second teleport using 6BD or 4BD.

632146K

Core of Death 632146K File:CC C2 632146K.png

Version Damage Stun Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Advantage (block) Cancelable Counterhit Properties B - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - Kai grabs the opponent and blows them into the air in front of her. The B version launches the opponent to the moon for a combo. D - - High/Low 5 - - ?/-3 Yes - The D version is way faster than the B version (can link off of 5D) but blows the opponent too far away for a combo midscreen.

Ultimate Chaos Moves

Cruel Ascension - 214214A/C Kai forms a giant tornado up in the sky made of flames. The opponent is send flying through the air. Decent damage, fast start-up and potential as a reversal. Works well in exceed combos. Both A and C version have the same hitbox and animation.

Refusal Missile - 236236B/D Kai fires a missile from her chest, which on contact causes the opponent to pop into the air, unable to act until they hit the ground. B version fires right in front of her and D version fires exactly halfscreen distance in front of her.

Extra Ultimate Chaos Moves

Burning Gaze - 236236A/C Kai fires a green laser fullscreen, can be used to end combos, works well as a super cancel.

Vanishing pressure - 6321463214B/D Super command grab. Launches the opponent to the moon (if they get killed by the grab they'll actually never fall down). To combo off it, whiff 5A by holding it down once you see the light disappear from her gauntlets to kill frames, then confirm with cl.C. Comboable (can link off of 5D even) and on whiff the clap becomes a hit for some reason, so even if they jump out they might just get hit.

Destruction Chaos

Separation.KAI -2363214A+C Kai creates gigantic sword and swings it at the enemy. The Destruction Chaos is both invulnerable and unblockable. It costs three bars and takes out 50% of the opponents health on hit. You can actually blockstring into this, although it'll lower the damage substantially. One of the most useful level 3s since it can lead to checkmate situations. The hitbox of this move is so gigantic, it covers about 75% of the screen horizontally, so as a way to finish off your opponent throwing projectiles on reaction, this can work.

Strategy

Neutral

Tomahawk - Generally 236A is safer, you can use it to put some pressure on an opponent who wants to sit full screen. Mix it up with double Tomahawk but be careful since the extra recovery can kill you. Against zoning characters double Tomahawk is extremely helpful since it can kill an opponent's projectile with the first Tomahawk, then punish with the second. Big tomahawk works well as a deterrent to jumping since it takes up roughly the entire screen.

J.A - Because Kai's anti-airs are generally lacking you want to spend as much time putting pressure on as you can. J.A is your main tool to shut down an opponent that's trying to meet you in the air.

J.C/J.D- Once you've established some fear you can go for j.C or j.D as an overhead. J.D is better against a grounded opponent since it'll cross-up, but j.C has a better air-to-air hitbox in case you're worried about that.

5C/2A - both have great range and are cancelable, these are great normals to use to get some pressure started if you want to stay grounded. 5C can anti-air in some situations and generally has the better hitbox, although obviously 2A is much faster. 2C also has a pretty good hitbox and all give a lot of hitstun on counter.

Tragic Disparity - You can use this to nullify/reflect projectiles on reaction. The EX version will give you huge damage on counterhit, but all versions are very punishable so you don't want to go into this outside of reactions too much.

Combos

any combo ending in j.214AC can be ended with j.623C as well if you don't want to spend the meter.
