Blackheart is Clyde's evil clone, and accordingly their toolkit is just as twisted as their personality. Blackheart has one of the most adaptable movesets in the game, with no glaring flaws, compounded by them also having possibly the strongest mixup game in the cast. Blackheart's movement is possibly the best set in the game, taking not only a low profile forward dash from Clyde, but also a low profile back dash, upwards air dashes, and specials like 4S and j.S that make them even harder to pin down. This combination makes Blackheart near impossible to keep out to any meaningful degree. This would be strong on its own but Blackheart's pokes are almost as strong too. Their 2M series lets them attack three different angles via inputting 1/2/3M, the longest of which 3M being capable of converting off hits from across the screen. Other large normals like 2H, 4H, and j.H are strong too, hitting opponents at ranges most can't easily contest. Adding to this is these normals' ability to convert into full damage and oki in almost every situation, which leads to Blackheart's powerful pressure and okizeme. Blackheart has a multitude of mixups, from basic high/lows using their 5H overhead and numerous lows, to left/rights employing 2H's unique ability to side switch on block, and even the somewhat gimmicky mixups of 5S and 5SP. If these were easy to reversal it wouldn't be that dangerous, but Blackheart's 4S has invincibility, allowing it to dodge and punish reversals with a level of consistency other characters wish they had. This all becomes especially deadly when 2SP is used, turning already threatening oki into one of the most dangerous situations in the game.
Blackheart does have minor issues, such as high recovery on their normals, but these can easily be circumvented by simply playing well and avoiding bigger mistakes.
Blackheart employs their highly adaptive tool set to outmaneuver the opponent before going into powerful okizeme. | |

Blackheart's ground forward and backdash both low profile, in fact having a lower low profile than even Clyde's forward dash. That's not all that's unique about these dashes either. Blackheart's backdash is one of the only two cancelable backdashes in DoF, making it even less of a committment and allowing for some unique uses. This also means it can be canceled into a long jump like with forward dashes. And on long jumps, Black Heart's long jumps retain the small blob form until canceled into an attack, meaning their hurtbox is significantly smaller than a regular long jump. Combine these together and you get one of the hardest to deal with dashes in the game. Even beyond going past projectiles and such, they can go under things you wouldn't expect like Baron's command grabs and pokes that beat Clyde's forward dash like Shiverskull 5M.
Blackheart's air dashes are unique too. Rather than the usual straight horizontal angle, their airdashes have an upwards arcing angle. Like with other air dashes, you can alter the momentum and angle you come down at by canceling the air dash at different points, making for some very tricky jump arcs. On top of that, Blackheart's back air dash is the only cancelable air back dash in the game, lending it more use than its compatriots. Add in their air specials that alter their momentum with j.S and j.4S, and you get one of the hardest characters to anti-air in the game.
