Story

The biggest sensation in the Cirque des Cartes, Cerebella is a tumbling, soaring dynamo of star power: throughout the Canopy Kingdom, she’s admired for her enormous strength and alluring curves. Sadly, this acrobatic orphan only desires the attention of one man, mobster Vitale Medici, who took her in and became the closest thing to a father she’s ever known.

While inherently good, Cerebella serves the mafia as a leg-breaker when not performing in the circus. Cerebella is the only person capable of controlling her powerful Living Weapon hat, Vice-Versa, so Vitale is stingy with his affections to keep her fighting in his corner.

Basics

For more guides and resources jump to the External Links section.

Cerebella is a grappler with a diverse tool-kit and has excellent hurtboxes/hitboxes on many of her normals. Her command grabs can turn many situations into a 50/50, and she has the tools to incorporate a variety of nasty resets into her combos.

• Command grabs: Cerebella has two command grabs, Merry Go-Rilla (214LP+LK) and Diamond Drop (236LP+LK). MGR has excellent range and DD is the fastest meterless move in the game. To complement these throw options, she has Excellebella (623LP+LK) which is air unblockable during the rising portion of the opponent's jump, and a good 2LK to tag opponents attempting to jump away.
• Movement: Cerebella has a few unique movement options to get close and threaten mixups. In addition to a double jump, her jHP will glide through the air if held down. She has an armored run special move ([4]6K) which has several followups.
• Kanchou: One of the run followups is Kanchou, a move that will pass through the opponent and hit crossup. While it's incredibly unsafe on block, it's potentially unseeable, is a high damage combo starter, and has the option to feint and pass through the opponent without attacking. This is far from Cerebella's only mixup option, but it can add another layer of explosiveness to her reset game.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Huge toolkit, prepared for nearly any situation Big buttons that are often favorably disjoint High damage Great metered reversals Great assists Great DHCs	Middling reversal options without meter - has a few options, but all of them have big flaws. Fairly bad ground dashes (somewhat made up for with her command run) Weak solo pressure, easily pushblocked out and has to take risks to get back in

Important Moves

• 2LK - Fast, low hitting attack with good reach. Gut check them with this, and make them suspect to throws.
• Merry Go-Rilla (214LP+LK) - Far reaching command grab. Use this at the same range you would poke with 2LK and mix-up crouch blocking opponents
• jMP - Excellent all around air normal
• jHP - Both a movement option and disjointed air-to-air. When just tapping it to attack, it will halt her jump momentum. You can also hold HP to glide through the air and release to attack.
• jHK - Jump in with lots of vertical reach and is active for a long time.
• 6HP - Her furthest reaching attack, and causes a sliding knockdown. Be careful using it too predictably, as it's slow and easy to punish on whiff.
• Reversals:
  • Diamond Dynamo (236PP) is a level 1 reversal super which has a great anti-air hitbox and leads into a combo with a DHC, or if it ends near the corner.
  • 360 (360LP+LK) is the most damaging level 1 reversal in the game and the damage can be exchanged for a follow up combo to maintain momentum.
  • Use wakeup LnL (236HP) before either of these to armor through attacks and confirm your reversal will work.

Alters Cerebella's air momentum downwards. Crossup hitbox Has a minimum of 4 active frames, which occur when Cerebella hits the ground. This applies even when the button is pressed very low to the ground, potentially giving this move instant startup. Instant j2MP startup is at least 17f. If done as soon as possible after jumping, this move gains 2 frames of startup, or 1f if done after 1f of jump animation.

Slow armored move that does significant damage, and hard to punish. Use as a reversal to confirm armor hits into either of her level 1 supers. The H version can combo into Level 3 on hit. This can be used as a high damage, hard-to-interrupt punish for bad assist calls. On hit, occasionally leaves behind Scribble Cat (a purely visual easter egg)

When any projectile that comes in contact with Cerebella during this move, it's reflected back as its own gem projectile that travels horizontally and absorbs all other projectiles in its way. The gem from a successful deflect causes a stagger on hit, even against air opponents who will fall to the ground then enter stagger. Unlike other moves that cause stagger, hitting with multiple gems will not put the opponent in a regular hitstun; the stagger length is simply reset. Cerebella becomes invulnerable to projectiles during the recovery of a successful reflect. Reflecting a poison vial from Valentine will get rid of any previous poision effect. Window for reflection is 22f total, beginning with the first frame of start up.

Point blank command grab. Fastest startup in the game for a meterless move (4f). Sends the opponent behind Cerebella far away enough where Cerebella can't convert unless they're thrown into the corner. In that case, (micro dash) 2LK will convert. Midscreen, 6HP can tack on some extra damage. Dynamo can lead to a conversion via corner pickup, DHC, or an appropriate assist. See Conversions for more information.

Mid range command grab with a deadzone which causes it to whiff at point blank on most characters. Works at point blank against Big Band and Beowulf, and at farther ranges than from other characters. Kara throw with 2MP to extend the range (Input 2MP, then special cancel into MGR as Cerebella moves forward). Kara throw with 5LK allows you to throw the entire cast except Squigly at point blank. (video) Combo: Micro dash 2LK > 2MK, jMP > jHK restand works on the majority of the cast. 2LP > 2MP > 2HP, jLPx3 > jHP is an easier, less optimal conversion.

A unqiue techable air grab with a special move input. Only a 6f window to throw tech (down from 14f for normal air throws). When Cerebella misses, she hits the ground and has the ability to ground tech. If no ground tech is chosen, there is an additional 12 frames of vulnerable recovery and some more additional invulnerable recovery. The number of hits before the final hit is determined by the height Grab Bag connects at.

Cerebella charges forward with 1 hit of armor. Using the run is faster than her normal dash, but a bit more committal. During this move she has access to 3 different follow up moves: Kanchou (MP or MK), Battle Butt (HP or HK), or Pummel Horse (LP+LK). The run can be stopped manually by pressing LP or LK. The strength of the kick move used determines how long the run will go for before automatically stopping. LK is short, MK is medium, and HK is long. Since you can manually Run Stop at any point during the run anyway, this is a bit pointless. Always use the HK run when trying to cover ground. Holding a button which corresponds to a follow up while inputting run will execute the follow up the fastest possible way. For example: Inputting run with [4]6HK while holding MK will immediately perform Kanchou. Watch this video for a more in depth explanation and other possible shortcuts. Doing instant run followups will always execute at least 1 frame of run.

Cerebella attempts to pass through the opponent as MK is held, and only executes the attack as long as she successfully crosses up. The portion of this attack where Cerebella passes through the opponent is also projectile invulnerable. Tapping MK will do a feint, where she attempts to crossup but will not perform the move. The entire recovery of the feint, after the projectile invulnerable frames, is super cancelable. The time it takes to cross up can vary depending on distance and character width. This is especially noticeable on Big Band. Using this move for the 2nd time in a combo will result in a regular knockdown.

The first hit will not hit as crossup if the opponent is not in hitstun. The first three hits will prevent dead opponents from becoming invulnerable once they reach a wall, to prevent a situation where Dynamo is punishable by the incoming character on hit. There is a larger-than-normal buffer for attacks after Dynamo: 0f buffer for normal throws 5f buffer for normals and held instant Tumbling Run followups 6f buffer for supers, empty Tumbling Run, snaps, and other specials 9f buffer for assist calls On hit, dash inputs are disabled for 13f after recovery.

A fully invulnerable command grab that cannot be jumped after the flash (0f startup after the flash, 1f of super flash hitstop). As a DHC, it has an additional 1f of post-flash startup and removes all hitstop on the opponent, making it always jumpable. Can cancel into Devil Horns (623MP) before the final hit, granting a follow up combo. If it starts a combo and is cancelled into Devil Horns, both the Devil Horns and the chain after will be Stage 2 (ie. doesn't build undizzy, not tracked by IPS). This conversion can do more damage than the final hit would have without spending more meter (albeit at the cost of undizzy). See the Combos page for more information. Can DHC after the final, damaging hit.

The second part is after the flash where Cerebella punches (2400 damage) and hurls a diamond forward (2800 damage). The punch will only hit up close. The diamond will pass through and destroy all oncoming enemy projectiles and cause a wall bounce on hit. Combo: (wait for wall bounce) dash > OTG 2LK (midscreen). Corner: see the Combos page. Up close the attack is very safe, but the opponent can challenge a follow up from Cerebella with a PBGC. If used as a DHC, the move has an additional 1f of start up after the flash.
