==Combos==
<!--List combos, use numpad notation.-->
===Notation===
A note on notation: common anime fighter notation denotes consecutive normal attacks as 5A > 5B > 5C. In order to condense some combos, these may be shortened to 5ABC. As another example, j.B > j.C may be shortened to j.BC. Two buttons pressed together will always be denoted with a +, as in 236A+B.
===General BnB===
If you want a generally applicable route that works in most scenarios regardless of starter, consider this route:
*'''(Starter) > 5B > 3C > Jump Cancel > j.B > j.C > Double Jump > j.B > j.C > 2B > 2C > 3C > Jump Cancel > j.C > Double Jump > j.C > j.2C > 2B > 2C > 5D'''
The above route and alternate versions of it can be seen [https://youtu.be/mfPxXQxE5s4?t=178 here.] This route works without consideration of the Juggle Decay system, and thus you'll miss out on the benefits of playing around the JD system in the long run. This combo is fine if you're starting out and don't want to go too in-depth on combo optimization and JD.
===Basics===
;Starter
:* '''5ABC > 3C > j.ABC > 5ABC > 236C'''
::- Basic Magic Series with Shadow Spark ender.
:* '''5ABC > 2C > 3C > j.ABC > 5B > 2C'''
::- Basic Magic Series with sweep ender and hard knockdown. When building combos, pay attention to the Juggle Decay meter below the opponent's health bar. If this fills up before the combo ends, the opponent will be able to ground tech. For example, try this same combo with a 5A before the last 5B > 2C and note how you no longer get a hard knockdown.
;Juggles
:* '''5ABC > 3C j.ABC > 5B > 3C > j.ABC > 5B > 2C'''
::- Extending combos with j.C air enders.
:* '''5ABC > 3C > j.ABC > jump cancel > j.ABC > 5ABC > 2C'''
::- Extending combos with double jump. Oleander has the ability to double jump, which allows for building extended combos by jump cancelling in the air. If you have trouble connecting with the second j.ABC, try delaying very slightly between the 3C and j.ABC to allow the opponent to gain the proper height.
:* '''5ABC > 3C > j.AB > j.2C > 5ABC > 236C'''
::- Extending combos with j.2C. Oleander has a command normal, j.2C, which allows her to put the opponent in a ground bounce combo state. Pay special attention to Oleander's position relative to the opponent after this move. In this particular combo, you are most likely to end up on the other side of the opponent after the j.2C.
:* '''5ABC > 3C > j.ABC > jump cancel > j.AB > j.2C > 5BC > 2C'''
::- Another variation of a j.2C combo, this time extending the number of hits before j.2C which pushes the opponent further back making it less likely to switch sides. Try experimenting with different combo routes to get used to what spacing will cause j.2C to switch position with the opponents.
;Jumping Normals
:* '''j.A (or j.B) > 2A > ...'''
::- From either a jump-in, or an aerial teleport (j.22A or j.22B). Basic high-low string, to either start pressure, go for a tick throw, overhead (6C), etc. Remember that 2B does NOT hit low, so you must rely on 2A and 2C for your low mixups. Also note that j.B can cross-up, though the hitbox for this is very small.
:* '''j.C > 5B > 5C > ...'''
::- Because of the great range of Oleander's normals, you can cover your jump-ins with j.C's large hitbox and continue ground pressure with 5B and 5C's equally good range.
;Throws
:* '''(in corner) Throw > 5ABC > 3C > j.ABC > 5ABC > 236C'''
::- Throws can lead into a full combo in the corner
:* '''Throw > 22D > 5A > ...'''
::- Midscreen, throws can be converted into full combo using 22D. However the window to do this is extremely difficult - not only is the window to connect 22D short, but it also must connect before the opponent drops too low in order to give the proper height for the following 5A to connect.
===Advanced===
;Overhead
:* '''6C'''
::- Oleander's overhead can ONLY be cancelled into special moves on hit, and therefore it is unsafe on block (the exception to this is if Fred is out - 6C can gatling into his moves, making it safe).
:* '''6C > 214X > ...'''
::- An easy way to extend a successful 6C hit into full combo, but costs 1 Magic
:* '''6C > 5A > ...'''
::- The more difficult way to extend via a 2-frame link.
;Anti-Air and Air-to-Air
:* '''(on jumping opponent) 6A > jump cancel > ...'''
::- Like the rest of the cast, Oleander's 6A is jump cancellable into full air combo.
:* '''(on jumping opponent) j.C > j.2C > ...'''
::- Scoring a full combo from an air-to-air j.C is an important part of making the opponent respect your air coverage.
:* '''(on jumping opponent) 22D > 5A > ...'''
::- 22D is very height-dependent. If the opponent is too low, or standing, when 22D hits, they will hit the ground before you are able to recover and link with the 2A.
;Magic Trap
:* '''2A > 5ABC > 214B > 66 > 5ABC > 2C'''
::- Basic combo extension using Magic Trap; costs 1 Magic
:* '''(on blocking opponent) 5ABC > 236C > 214A'''
::- Demonstrates the unique property of 214X which is it can be cancelled into from 236X. This particular combo, for example, is useful for pushing back an aggressive opponent, and setting a trap in front of them to control that space.
:* '''(in corner) 5ABC > 2C > 214D (or delay, 214A)'''
::- Demonstrates setting up a Magic Trap on top of knocked down opponent as part of your okizeme game.
:* '''(in corner) 5ABC > 3C > j.AB > j.2C > j.214A'''
::- Demonstration of a similar setup from the air. Because j.2C results in a soft knockdown, this setup is not quite as strong (since the opponent can forward tech).
===Examples===
====Midscreen (Ground Start)====
:* '''5ABC > 3C > j.ABC > 5A > 3C > j.ABC > 5A > 236A (735 damage)'''
:* '''5ABC > 3C > j.AB > j.2C > 5ABC > 236A (691 damage, side switch)'''

Oleander 2.png
Oleander

Movement Options: Back/Forward Dash, Double Jump, Teleport,

Profile

Oleander, the great granddaughter of Divine Oracle Amaryllis, sensed the return of Predator-kind 13 years before the first actual sighting. Her masters in the Order of the Horn saw no need to take action, as always, urging her to trust that the power of Light Magic would keep Foenum safe.

Frustrated and desperate, she took matters upon herself. She began studying from a book of Dark Magic and eventually forged a pact with the demon trapped inside it. The evidence of her blasphemous act manifested over time as her coat began to turn a darker shade. Despite condemnation from those around her, Oleander is determined to prove that Dark Magic can be used to do good.

With the aid of her demonic companion FHTNG TH§ ¿NSP§KBL? (Fred for short), Oleander may steal energy from her opponents, eventually amassing enough to temporarily loosen Fred’s bindings so he may fight alongside her. But can she really control Fred, or will she discover the reason for his imprisonment after it’s already too late…? [1]

Gameplay

Oleander is a setplay zoner who uses double jumps, big buttons and fireballs to control neutral, while threatening to build up her magic options to setup limited but powerful mixups and controlling the screen to further snowball.

She wields strong, disjointed normals to control the opponent on the ground (5A, 5B and 6B) as well as in the air (j.A, j.C, j.2C).

Once she gains magic, she can start using Chapter Traps and Teleports to enhance her mobility, combos, okizeme and zoning. Her Magic attacks even steal meter from the opponent!

Unleash her devastating Level 1 super for a fullscreen beam that can be used as a punish and to increase damage at the end of combos. And her Level 2 super summons an incredibly powerful tandem puppet that takes her neutral, damage and mixups to an unparalleled extreme.

It is very important for her to be constantly on the advantage, however. Without a knockdown, Oleander can only gain magic by commmiting to a Read in neutral, leaving her vulnerable for a long period of time which the opponent can use to punish her or force her to block, and she is reliant on system mechanics to escape from pressure. Not having any magic also weakens her neutral, and especially her offense: she has no inmediate mixups outside of an unsafe overhead. Coupled with having below average damage, it can be difficult to make a comeback against big health leads.


Strengths Weaknesses
  • Fred: he is an overwhelming win condition that can make your pressure and mixups uncontestable
  • Keepaway: Several kinds of moving and non-moving projectiles to fill the screen for strong zoning
  • Strong corner okizeme: after a knockdown, her magic enables high/low mixups and teleport crossups
  • Fuzzies: Double jump allows for meterless fuzzy overheads
  • Powerful grounded anti-airs: 6A and 2B cover the angles above and diagonal to you quite well
  • Unique mobility: A fast wavedash and teleports gives her strong movement options
  • THE jab: Has one of the best 5As in the game for offense and mashing out
  • Meter steal: Can drain the opponent's meter using her magic options
  • Low average damage: Doesn't hit hard without a counterhit
  • Weak defensive options: Guard cancel is expensive thanks to her big meter size and using it delays Fred
  • Simple pressure: Reliant on staggers and strike/throw mixups as her main way of opening up opponents
  • Resource dependant: Reliant on magic for her more powerful zoning and mixups, which needs a knockdown or a big commitment in neutral to generate

25 L - 6 3 15 vs. Grounded 0 -2
vs. Airborne

Oleander flips a page of her book. Slightly shorter range than 5A, but is fully disjointed and hits low. Picks up tight juggles if the situation calls for it. Your safest, least commital meaty option to cover upbacking. Also whiff cancelable into itself or 5A once.

90 HL - 7 5 24 vs. Grounded -10 -7
vs. Airborne

A skyscraper of an anti-air, with poor horizontal reach. Tied for the fastest 6A in the game. Make them think twice about jumping at you. If you are close enough, you can use its reverse-beat properties to add a second round of 5B/2B hits on a blockstring to make for a bit scarier pressure.

100 L - 21 7 16 vs. Grounded KD -5
vs. Airborne

A sweeping attack with very long range. Used for an alternative (or third) low threat, and for staying close against pushblocking to continue pressure due to moving Oleander forward a lot during startup. Special cancelable on block for safety. Jump cancelable on hit only, in which you will always jump forward regardless of your input. Natural frame trap vs jabs from 5B and 5C.

70 HL - 11 7 16 vs. Grounded 2 -3
vs. Airborne

Main ground poke. Moves forward slightly. Disjointed, good range and slightly slower than most 5Bs. Use it to keep the opponent in check on the ground. Being -3 on block makes this your last normal safe enough to consistently rely on as a pressure reset.

vs. Airborne

Crouching anti-air. Very active, and covers a different area than 6A, but the hurtbox extends before it is able to hit the opponent, so you must be careful using it. Can be done after 5B to add to your stagger pressure, but mind your positioning since it whiffs against crouchers that aren't at point blank. Common punish starter against most unsafe specials.

Big, slow normal that covers a big area in front of Oleander, and also above her near the end of the attack. Moves forward slightly. Easily stuffed or whiff punished if used recklessly.

40,120 H - 23 2,8 21 vs. Grounded 6 -16
vs. Airborne

2-hit standing overhead. Groundbounces airborne opponents. A bit slow and very unsafe on block. On hit, links into 5A for a resourceless combo, or a cancel into 214A/B for an easier, higher damage, and more consistent conversion. Can allow you to gain 2 magic as a combo ender by canceling the first hit of 6C, 6C(1)>5D, if your groundbounce hasn’t been used yet.

Quick air-to-air. Interrupts your opponent’s slower normals. Whiffs on crouching opponents. Recovers quickly, allowing you to cover the air and the ground with another normal on a single jump, or double jump, or do any number of things.

145 H - 14 4 17 vs. Grounded
vs. Airborne

Big swinging button. Covers the space in front of you very well and is a huge combo starter. It doesn't hit directly below you. The hitbox is raised near its end, making it whiff on far crouchers unless its very delayed from a full jump. More susceptible to anti-airs as a result.

Big, disjointed air-normal. Can tag opponents that are above you in the air. Groundbounces on ground and air hit. Slightly alters your jump arc. Hits standing opponents when done rising. Groundbounce time can be used to gain up to 2 magic when canceled into j.D. Similar to j.C, does not hit crouchers unless very delayed, making it susceptible to anti-airs from a full jump.

125 HL - 15 - 34 vs. Grounded -1 -2
vs. Airborne

Good old fireballs. Safe ender to your blockstrings (unless they were Instant Blocked near point-blank). Cancels into 214X and 22D on hit, block and whiff. At long range they serve the typical use of controlling your opponents movement in the ground and dealing chip damage, though they do have a significant amount of recovery that can always be punished if the opponent jumped over them. Shifts your hurtbox very forward, be careful how you space this.

125 HL - 15 - 34 vs. Grounded -1 -2
vs. Airborne

Mid-speed version. Compromise between interrupting the opponent at long ranges and putting hitbox to aid your attacks.

125 HL - 15 - 34 vs. Grounded -1 -2
vs. Airborne

Fastest version. Can catch opponents by surprise, as opposed to the slower versions, but don't give as much of an opportunity to follow behind. Use this version to ensure true blockstrings at a range.

125 HL - 15 - 34 vs. Grounded -9 -9
vs. Airborne

Jumping versions of Oleander's fireballs. You can have one air spark and one ground spark onscreen at one time. Airborne sparks cannot hit crouching opponents.Double jump cancelable on whiff. This allows you to cover yourself alongside it with your air normals, give you space to sneak in j.5Ds (Air Read) or to simply reposition yourself more quickly when tiger knee'd. You will be unable to block for 14 frames after jump cancelling j.236X and j.214X.

vs. Airborne

Away! The only teleport that does not cost magic. The second, mostly safe special move to end blockstrings depending on how you cancel into it and your opponent's resources. It retreats you back to neutral. You can switch up between blockstring resets, fireball and teleport to make it difficult for the opponent to react to the situation and respond accordingly.

The first set of "active" frames refer to the times in which Oleander is "in transit", being completely invulnerable, while the second set refers to frames where Oleander is invincible to everything except grabs.

Full-screen laser beam of death. Can be used to add damage at the end of combos, though it will give lots of meter to the opponent if their Juggle Decay is maxed. Its speed and range makes it difficult to avoid if the opponent is whiffing a move or a backdash.

50 HL - 5 1 45 vs. Grounded Wallstick
vs. Airborne

Summons Fred, a puppet that attacks in tandem with Oleander using the D button. Lasts for roughly 20 seconds. These attacks greatly enhance her pressure, damage and can make unsafe moves safe. While Fred is active, Oleander's attacks will no longer build meter for her; only her meter stealing options will. Fred attacks also reduce opponent meter on hit. Charged Fred moves will increase the time that Fred stays out.

Lovecraftian backhand. Tracks the opponent’s position.

More damage than uncharged and sends the opponent flying towards you for combos. Use 22A or 22B right before the attack connects for a pure left/right mixup.

Sweeping attack around Fred. Go-to for stealing your turn back if your opponent left a gap in their pressure. Useful in combos and maintaining pressure, and has short blockstun, making it tough for the opponent to pushblock.

60,60 HL - 33 12 36 vs. Grounded Launch

- - - 48 - 2 vs. Grounded
vs. Airborne

Oleander crouches and reads from her evil book, gaining one magic stock after 48 frames. Oleander slowly floats down when used in the air. Can gain more stocks by holding down the D button. If all 3 magic stocks are filled, 5D will slowly build super meter instead, with quicker recovery. When Fred is out, you will extend the Fred timer instead. Magic expands Oleander's offensive and defensive options significantly, so it's important to gain space to read safely in neutral. Be incredibly careful when you read, this is 50 frames of full counterhit state, and your hurtbox is expanded when you read in the air.

110 HL - 9 - 29 vs. Grounded Launch -3
vs. Airborne

Faster and bigger fireball. Can be used even if a ground spark and air spark are already onscreen. Will consume all magic available on use, determining the type of 236D released. Works as a frametrap after 236A/B/C, and is even better at tagging opponents from fullscreen.

On hit, it will steal some super meter from the opponent and knock them down.

145 HL - 9 - 29 vs. Grounded Wallstick 1
vs. Airborne

Faster and bigger than the 1 magic version. Knocks the opponent back at moderate speed, resulting in a wall-stick if they're close enough to the corner or edge of the screen.

Steals more meter than the 1 magic version. +1 on block.

220 HL - 9 - 29 vs. Grounded Wallstick 6
vs. Airborne

Extremely fast, large, steals 'lots' of meter and always wallsticks no matter where the opponent is on the screen.

Breaks after hitting multiple projectiles. +6 on block.

Chapter Trap

PLEASE NOTE
Oleander magic traps A/B/C will result in different damage and juggle decay values depending on the position of the trap itself as opposed to the opponent, i.e., if the trap is still airborne or has come to rest on the ground.
Grounded trap values are used as the default here, with airborne trap values denoted in parenthesis.

140 (200) HL - 19 300 15 vs. Grounded 34 2
vs. Airborne

Stationary projectiles. Costs 1 magic. Used to litter the screen with more hitboxes, limiting your opponents approach options. You can also bait them into trying to destroy them with a disjointed attack and punish them. Traps will stay active even if you are forced to block, so if the opponent isn't careful, they can fall into them after a blocked jump-in, or even be pushblocked into them! All traps dissapear if Oleander is hit. Also functions as a pressure reset due to being +2 on block, though this tends to leave gaps for reversals or projectile-invul moves if not canceled into as soon as possible.

6A>214A/214B and C>214A/B are gapless strings on regular block.

140 (200) HL - 19 300 15 vs. Grounded 34 2

B version sends the trap slightly farther forward than A.

140 (200) HL - 28 292 6 vs. Grounded 34 2

Trap released upwards before falling. Used to cover the space above your head.

70,70,200 Mid - 36 773 33 vs. Grounded 44 41
vs. Airborne

Epilogue! A huge, multi-hit trap that does not fall to the ground like the others. Steals lots of meter on hit. Once it becomes active, it will not disappear if Oleander is hit. By hiding behind or inside the Epilogue Oleander will force the opponent to come to her and deal with it as quickly as possible, or let her regain full magic and start building meter too, potentially setting up another one after the first goes down. You can then take advantage of this by doing lots of normally unsafe things such as spamming 6Cs, knowing that your opponent cannot combo you without getting hit by Epilogue or crossing them up by teleporting if they are trying to dash or jump into it to block it. It can block two projectiles before being destroyed, and you can only have one of them active at a time.

N/A - - 4 13,4 8 vs. Grounded
vs. Airborne

Grounded teleports, they put you right in front of and behind the opponent respectively. When combined with your fireballs and traps, it can turn an incoming projectile into a left/right mixup and generally make you a pain to lock down. They allow you to move in from fullscreen if you think your opponent will commit to a usually safe option at such ranges, like dog summons from Pom, or a 236X set from Velvet.

The first set of "active" frames refer to the times in which Oleander is "in transit", being completely invulnerable, while the second set refers to frames where Oleander is invincible to everything except grabs.

N/A - - 4 13,4 8 vs. Grounded
vs. Airborne

When done in the air, these teleports have shorter recovery.

190 HL - 25 8 30 vs. Grounded Launch -9
vs. Airborne

Oleander's reversal, tracks the opponent's position. It's slow to come out, and punishable when blocked. It only allows for conversions when hitting an airborne opponent. Is an efficient meter stealing/gain option when your opponent doesn’t have a lot of meter.
