Introduction

Health: 1300
Walk Speed: 400 Forward, 325 Back

When the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers were viciously attacked by the Black Dragon, a powerful Zord from another dimension with the capability to warp Ranger powers, they were in for the fight of their lives. After he was defeated, Trini was able to refashion the Zord into a powerful suit of enhanced armor.

Overview

Trini, in her fancy new Dragon Armor, fills the role of the game's grappler. While playing neutral with her often requires a lot of patience and strong reads thanks to her weak mobility, she can turn most openings into pretty explosive damage. She's an exceptional anchor, sporting easy ways to dump meter and possibly the best Megazord usage in the game. While playing her on point can be something of a struggle, it seems like a pretty fair trade-off for having one of the best assist attacks in the game. Trini is a fantastic support character, though that isn't to say she's unable to hold her own. It's just that doing so will require a bit of finesse from you.

Playstyle

Dragon Armor Trini is a big body with a ton of health, big buttons, and powerful specials
Pros	Cons
Trini Missile - Trini's 5S beam, 4S command throw, and 6S missile are all great tag out options Beam Assist - Trini's beam assist is strong as a neutral and combo extension tool. It synergizes well with many characters A Literal Tank - Trini has the largest health pool in the game. She can not be consistently ToD'd by most characters outside of infinites Pringles - Trini can somewhat reliably chip out opponents with smart, defensive play and good Zord usage	Armor is Heavy - Trini has the worst mobility in the game. Many characters can easily weave in and out of her effective range Big Body, Big Problems - Many characters have simple, Trini-specific infinites. Her size makes it harder for her to get out of mixups than any other character Big Bad Buttons - While Trini has a few good buttons, her normals are overall sub par and unsafe, including one of the worst anti-airs in the game Don't Miss - Trini's specials are incredibly unsafe if used incorrectly and are easily punished Zord Battery - While Trini can somewhat consistently go for chip kills, that strategy feeds Zord meter to the opponent Matchup Spread - The combination of Trini's weaknesses give her losing matchups against everyone
