Introduction

Felicia (フェリシア), Catwoman - Nekomata

Abandoned at a very young age due to being a Darkstalker, she was taken in by Sister Rose and raised in a Catholic Orphanage. When Sister Rose passed away many years later, Felicia decided to set off to make the world a better and happier place, as well as achieve her greatest dream of being a famous dancer in Las Vegas. She got that fame, but decided that her fame and fortune would be better used to give back to the less fortunate, and used it to set up an orphanage for unfortunate children. However, before she could accomplish this, she was brought into the Majigen as one of the chosen souls - so for the time being, her plans will have to wait - as Jedah threatens the human world she cherishes so greatly.

Felicia is considered a "Jack of all trades" character who is effective on offense and defense in neutral while having great mobility. She is able to handle most of the cast well while also being competitive against the top tiers. If you like characters that are mobile like Blanka or Chun-Li as well as being practically a Swiss Army Knife for most situations, Felicia is a great choice.

Gameplay

Primary Objectives:

• Use your mobility to perfectly space your opportunities; AA's, oki, footsies, etc.
• Anti-air using her numerous exceptional tools
• Control the air with OS 9HP
• Approach and or pressure the opponent with Cat Spike
• Abuse her OS command throw
• Use your mobility to chase the opponent after knockdowns
• Utilize your dash to setup overhead or landing low attacks
• Jump off the wall to avoid being cornered

Strengths

Weaknesses

Excellent mobility with the second fastest walk and jump speed Effective & reliable tools for managing neutral Shortest standing character in the game with some of the best anti airs in the game as well. This synergy makes her excel as an AA machine. Good chain combo damage, which allows many instances of using Toy Touch or ES Toy Touch. Renda chains on both lights make combo confirms more accessible. Her dash attack capability, while not as strong as some other characters, is still an overall effective tool. Has tons of option selects at her disposal. Examples include: 2HP being throw invul, far 5HK being low invul, 9HP OS into an air throw, and a strong command throw OS into close 5HK. Humongous reward with a successful Dark Force while in the corner position. Offensive damage up to a full bat Good matchups against most of the cast, and can hold her own against the top tier characters. Due to a bug, certain situations allow her to airblock attacks that normally could not be airblocked (a.k.a. Cat Guard)

One of the slowest wake-ups. She is more susceptible to being chased on oki Invincibility is gated behind her meter Punishing an air-state opponent is usually a low damage scenario. for example, bait a Demon Cradle & your best option is a 2HK

Movement

Walk: Good walk speed and average height.

Dash: Hop. Good for high/low mixups. Her mids are more useful than her heavies when using this dash. At the end of the dash Felicia has a 7F recovery window, but the latter 6 frames are special cancelable. Therefor it's possible (albeit difficult) to do things like deep d.MK 236LP. This dash is also short-stoppable. Tapping or holding back during the forward dash will end the dash sooner and maker her drop faster. This also makes links/cancels off of it much easier, though it's rather difficult to time a dashing attack after quickstoping the dash because she falls so quickly after the quickstop, but it is possible.

Basic Summary is - The fastest case when you issue an attack 1F after the establishment of the short dash. (11F when counting from the dash)

Jump: Great jump arc. Very fast and highly obnoxious.

Headsit: Jumping on a standing opponent will cause this move to activate, there's no real input for it. The headsit is cancelable into anything, a jump or air attack. While headsitting the opponent can also cancel it by doing anything, which will cause Felicia to rejump. However, the headsit activation will also cancel an opponent's attack regardless of what kind of attack it was, so long as it was considered standing at the time. For example, if the opponent tries an anti-air MP and you activate the headsit it will cancel their MP entirely.

• Head-Ride corner offense

Wall Cling: Pressing towards the wall when near the wall makes Felicia cling to it momentarily. If the direction is held she will eventually start to gradually slide down the wall, and at a certain height from the ground she will automatically dismount. Releasing the button dismounts her. Felicia can perform any normal jumping action after the dismount and can attack/airblock/headsit just like a normal jump. However, the dismount causes her to jump much further and faster than a normal jump, making it quite good for getting in on the opponent when alternated between normal jump and wall jump.

Solid multi-purpose jab. Pretty decent range for a light attack, and has uses for AA'ing and stuffing dashes with a quick and dirty button. Can be used also to confirm into Catspike. You can use this for walking jab pressure as well, but while it has good frame data its not good enough to completely abuse this move like that.

This move will not hit crouching on Gallon, Lilith, Morrigan, Q-Bee.

Useful in a pressure strings to catch jumpers. It is very effective as both a general AA and guard break after the opponent blocks an air-to-air chain. Aim to hit this at max range, or as early as possible (dependent on the context of what you are striking for). This can be used to frame trap opponents, and it works well for that purpose. Be careful on using this against opponents who can crouch under it.

This move will not hit crouching: Bulleta, Gallon, Lilith, Morrigan or Q-Bee.

5	4	7	5	4	H: 8 G: 7
Guard	Cancel	Invuln	Red Damage	White Damage	Gauge
mid	yes	-	7	3	H: 6 G: 3 W: 0

This attack is by far, one of the most powerful normals she has at her disposal, and argued to be one of the best AAs in the game. This will crush most mid to far range jump in attacks, and there are very few normals it will outright lose to. Great as a guard break after getting your opponent in an air-to-air block string.

On hit, recovery from Far 5LK is so fast you have more than enough time to set up a high/low with a dash overhead or a 2LK/2HK low attack. Depending how close they were when you hit them you can even walk forward and go for it. Since it's also a light attack, you can rapid fire it on whiff to put up a bit of a wall. Be wary about abusing this though, since you will not really be moving, and you may find yourself in a bad predicament if you mess up your AA attempt.

The dangerous aspect of using this normal is when the opponent is so close that this turns into a Close 5LK, which has no anti-air properties what-so-ever. Get accustomed to the range that this turns into a Close 5LK so you don't get it on accident and eat a huge jump in combo.

This move will only hit crouching: Bishamon, Victor.

Another incredibly powerful normal. Amazing long poke that dominates the mid range game. After training your opponent to stay grounded with a strong anti-air defense, you can control their approach on the ground with this alone, if you choose.

Great for catching characters out of their jump start up as well. Inserting this at the end of a pressure string or when you have a bit of frame advantage is a great way to catch jumpers. Space it out so you'll hit them with the tip. This attack also has great frame trap properties as well, which can be used with either your MP or another MK.

This move will not hit crouching Q-Bee.

Hits twice.

• Lower Body Invincible for 13 frames

This has the most range out of any of Felicia's attacks by far. Mostly used as a long range poke by utilizing the second hit or as an ender for your chains to move you back farther. There is lower body invincibility starting on the 5th frame may come in handy in some cases, but that often will not come into play. The only major weakness of this attack is that it is really slow. It is the slowest attack she has in her kit. Additionally, it can be potentially guard cancelled, especially if both hits of the attack connect while the opponent is blocking.

The first hit of this move will whiff on crouching Q-Bee.

This is a move that is best used to hit low crouchers (i.e. Q.Bee, Morrigan, Lilith) in order to prevent them from jumping out. It is unsafe on hit and guard, so be sure to cancel it into a 2HK on block or when it hits a grounded opponent.

This move often comes out as a result of a botched stand LK. This move has no AA properties whatsoever. That said, it could be a good indicator to tell you to stop pressing buttons if you see it come out during an AA attempt.

This move however, is pretty much outclassed by crouch LK, in almost every regard.

There may be more use to the move than what it lets off, but that is to be explored. This move otherwise is a waste of time.

Felicia's highest damage special cancelable normal. If you want to combo into this off of a jump in attack, you must jump in very deep.

An option select button for her kick throw, as well as her command throw. This will hit every crouching character, unlike her Close 5HK, so if you don't think a short opponent is going to jump this may be a safer option incase you mistime your throw attempt.

Amazing option select button for Felicia's Kick Throw and Command Throw, and great AA for opponents that are on top of you jumping. By far her best option when you have an opponent cornered. If you guess correctly, she can either grab the opponent with a throw/command throw, or hit an opponent with Close 5HK while they are attempting to jump out. If they are hit at all by Close 5HK, Felicia recovers so fast she can set up a dash overhead/low mix-up, or even cross under the opponent for a left/right mix-up while in the corner. Due to the massive frame advantage that applies even to grounded opponents. The only major weakness to this button is against opponents that can crouch it, or opponents that jump higher than the move reaches.

Also works as a guard break after an air chain against cornered opponents who are high in the air.

This move will only hit crouching: Anakaris, Aulbath, Bishamon, Demitri, Jedah and Victor.

These characters can jump higher than this move can reach: Anakaris, Felicia, Gallon, Jedah, Victor, Zabel

A very good button. Useful as a poke, an anti-air and it's your go-to button when it comes to special cancels.

When anti-airing, you want to hit them with the tip of her paw so it works best from a long distance jump in. After an air reset, you can immediately do a dash hop overhead attack, or walk forward slightly and do a 2HK low.

Some characters have a ridiculously difficult time just getting around this normal to start an offense.

mid	no	-	20	8	H: 24 G: 15 W: 6

Though an incredible anti-air in both hitbox and active frames, the fact Felicia is considered airborne (15f) during it gives 2HP a few interesting properties.

• Since 2HP puts Felicia in an airborne state, it is possible for the opponent to just air block this normal like they could any air-to-air attack. It's hard for many characters to really punish this, but be careful when using it on those with air dashes and on a cornered opponent.

• If Felicia is hit during the airborne state of this move, she is air reset rather than just taking the hit on the ground which limits the opponents combo potential if this move is mistimed.

• Being airborne means that Felicia cannot be thrown, which makes it potentially useful against things like Demitri's EX Throw moves. However, due to it being 6 frames before she becomes airborne it's not a guaranteed escape.

• It is not possible to chain out of this move into either hard kick attack.

Out of all her anti-airs, 2HP is the most useful when the opponent is doing a deep jump in or making a cross up attempt. If this hits the opponent, you have enough time after the air reset to do a high/low mix-up like with her other anti-airs. Since the opponent is usually air reset close enough to you that you can actually walk forward and do a 2LK instead of relying solely on her 2HK for the low mix-up.

This move will not hit crouching: Bulleta, Felicia, Gallon, Lei-Lei, Lilith, Morrigan, Q-Bee, Sasquatch or Zabel.

Not the most useful button but it can do a couple things. Depending on your opponents jump height it may work decently as an air-to-air block string starter.

Out of all her air normals j.LP has the best potential for a cross up. As a cross up attack it's not great, works well on the especially fat characters(Gallon, Lei-Lei, Q-Bee), but it generally requires very precise aiming to hit and even then it won't work on most of the cast properly. It can be difficult to incorporate this properly into your game plan, and empty cross ups in Savior can be dangerous so use this with caution.

A multi-hit jump in attack. Its primary use is during her dash hop; being the easiest out of her jump normals to link from. Refer to the combo section for more information on this.

Option selects into an air throw. When attempting an air throw, this is a little bit of a better option than her j.HP air throw option select.

The second hit of j.MP has the same cross up potential as j.LP (refer to that for more info). You can actually hit the button early, whiff the first hit and have the second hit as a cross up.

Used mostly if you want to do a 2 hit air chain when jumping in on shorter opponents. A great button to press after chicken guarding an opponents air attack.

From a neutral jump j.LK can be used as an instant overhead on: Anakaris, Aulbath(Hardest), Bishamon, Demitri, Jedah and Victor.

Felicia's furthest extending jump attack. When used from a forward jump it can be more susceptible to anti-air than her other normals because the hitbox doesn't extend very far downward, but j.HK still has its uses.

From a long distance hop this can be a quick overhead or poke. Good as an air-to-air poke from a neutral jump, not so much from a forward jump though since you can't chain out of it. It also works excellently in blockstrings in the air.

Felicia's punch throw. It is a hold, meaning that it can be mashed for more damage, and it can be counter-mashed by the opponent to reduce the damage. This is not a very good throw for Felicia to use, as she has access to better ones (literally any of her other throws) that are far more useful, and stable in damage. You may get this on accident, but that's about the only reason that you would use this throw. This throw is a waste of time.

It also has the ability to be option selected with her close HK, which is a powerful tool to have at your disposal in case of people attempting to jump out. You opt to always do this as your basic non-command throw option.

Essentially the same thing as her Kick throw, but done in the air. It does identical damage and corner carry to the Kick throw. This is a great throw to catch people with if you are airborne at the same time as the opponent, especially if the opponent is airblock-happy. Easy to pursuit or OTG scratch after. If teched it sets the opponent backwards which makes it difficult/impossible to reversal after, giving you a free oki.

Felicia's command throw. This is a good tool for her to be able to open people up if you catch them in a situation to do so. This can also be option selected by Close HK if the opponent attempts to neutral jump you. This is especially useful and dangerous if she has you cornered.

2F startup makes this pretty useful off a dash-in, jump-in, or whatever other tick setup. It does pretty good damage so use it plenty.

It is noteworthy that this command throw actually makes two throw attempts in one attack. (active on frame 3 for one frame, disappears for 5 frames, and active on frame 9 for one frame again.)

Hits a little harder than the M and H Hellcat. This is one of the few times Felicia gets to really use her meter. If you get the opportunity to use this, opt for this command throw.

It seems like some characters get thrown away further than others. Some you can follow up with a Toy Touch afterwards and others not. Make a proper list

Hitboxes Off

A two part roll attack. First part is a one hit ball roll that goes under fireballs and high hitting attacks. Pressing P again will cause a follow up uppercut scratch that can hit twice. The follow up uppercut can be performed during the roll or even after the roll hits the opponent, allowing the roll and uppercut to combo with each other for three hits or allowing you to cancel the roll early. This is her basic combo move as it's fast and causes knockdown, plus decent damage. However, neither the roll nor the uppercut are safe on block with any version, so use with caution.

This move also sees use as a way to chase the opponent after a throw, or to use the followup as an AA (even though it is airblockable, this attack has a very good hitbox that beats a lot of jumpins. Requires you to have aim for it, and for the opponent to be constantly pressing buttons in the air.)

Ball pop move that is really useful for pressure and for combos; This is one of the specials you should use all the time. This move is safe on block/hit for all normal versions and can be used to pressure opponents, or can be used to set up tick throw attempts. The ball itself doesn't actually do anything for the normal versions, but rather the scratch itself is the attack.

Note that even though the MP and HP versions are airborne, THEY ARE NOT OVERHEADS, AND CAN BE BLOCKED CROUCHING.

An upperkick followed by a divekick. Used primarily as a GC, but can be used for pressure IF AIMED ON THE LAST TWO HITS; It is unsafe if all three hits connect on block (very similar to some of the fundamental uses tied behind Demitri's Bat Spin). Note that it has no invincibility outside of Guard Cancel. The guard cancel version is extremely useful, but must be performed close to the opponent. It can be easily baited otherwise.

This version gains 13F startup invulnerability, which is good because the first hit is 7F startup. Not a particularly bad GC, but the follow up dive-kick makes it counter-GC or DP bait if the first hit whiffs. Still, because of the invulnerability and fast startup it has it's uses, just make sure the first hit connects. The very first active frame of the ES Guard Cancel version is unblockable.

Bounce. Sets Felicia on the opposite side of the opponent on hit, so it's not particularly good if you knock the opponent into the corner, or else you'll end up in the corner. On the other hand, if your back was to the corner you can get out of the corner using this. ES version does more hits and a bit more recoverable damage, no actual damage. Generally speaking this isn't really as useful as her scratch OTG.

Your go-to pursuit in the corner. Normal versions are fast, allowing you to recover quick if you're late on a hit; ES Toy Touch does the most damage (4 white, 8 red) and reaches further than the normal Toy Touches, making it preferable in most situations. Remember that the Toy is the hitbox, and not Felicia's claw. This can cause whiffs if done too close, so you may need to readjust your position.

An EX move similar to her Rolling Buckler. On hit it goes into an auto-combo animation.

• Compared to her ES Rolling Buckler, this travels much further, but has a longer startup time. The most stand out difference however is that this has some frames of startup invincibility. If used well this can be considered a reversal attack, however it is not without risk as the invincibility does not last until her first active frame. There is more than enough time to interrupt Dancing Flash by a stray hit or late throw. Watch out for moves that have an extremely active hitbox as well. This is a good move, just don't use it without thought or care. On block it is extremely punishable.

• Usable in combos the same way Rolling Buckler is, though generally getting all the hits from an ES Rolling Buckler will do more damage in most combos.

• It's possible to use this as a corner escape if you read a jump in from your opponent.

• 8f Invincibility applications

There are three versions of this move, depending on what button combination used to activate it.

One of the riskiest moves in the game, for not much payoff. Though it seems to be a favorite of many new players, it is very ill advisable to use outside of a few very specific punishes. On whiff or block, Felicia remains immobile until the kitten exits the screen, giving this the worst recovery out of any move in the game.

The "safest" of the three versions if used as a gamble would probably be the LK+HK one since the kitten leaves the screen quickest on both block and whiff. It isn't very effective outside of Felicia being in the corner with the opponent close to her though.

The kitten drops forward from the upper corner of the side of the screen Felicia is on and lands a bit before midscreen. On block she will bounce off the opponent then run back towards Felicia's corner. On whiff the kitten will land and start running for Felicia's corner.

The kitten leaps across the screen with a long jump arc. She comes out from about Felicia's standing height and travels the entire screen. On block the kitten will bounce off the opponent and run back towards Felicia's corner. On whiff the cat lands and runs back towards Felicia's corner. In rare cases the recovery can end early if the opponent blocks the kitten from full screen and then scrolls the screen forward while the kitten is bouncing off. Doesn't hit most standing characters close to Felicia to about midscreen due to the arc of the jump.

Permanent Damage Temporary Damage Cancel Guard startup - - - - - active recovery AdvHit AdvBlock renda meter (Any Version) A little cat will follow Felicia around and attack after Felicia does. The kitty leaps every time Felicia attacks, and acts as an arcing projectile, Provided it can act and is not airborne at the time Felicia attacks. The Kitty's jump arc is actually influenced by which direction Felicia is holding when she presses the attack. She can cause it to have low arcs when pressing down, waid arcs if she is pressing forward, narrow arcs when she is pressing back. The height of the attach is actually dictated where the hitbox of the attack is. The higher the hitbox, the higher the Kitty jumps in response. Is possible to set up an unblockable with the kitty thanks to the Guard Switch Mechanic, like this video show, However: is very unsafe and the opponent can counter attack pretty easily, so is not worth it. When Felicia enters her deactivation animation, the kitty will lose her hitbox, although oddly enough still cause proxy guard if the opponent holds back.
