Story

A feline feral, Nadia Fortune is the last surviving member of the Fishbone Gang, a notorious band of otherwise Dagonian thieves. Their last mission ended in tragedy: a failed attempt to steal the mysterious Life Gem from Lorenzo Medici resulted in their grisly deaths. Before meeting her own doom, Ms. Fortune swallowed the Life Gem and managed to digest it. The Gem’s power permeated her entire body, making it truly undying... even after being cut into several pieces.

Now hiding in the shadows of Little Innsmouth, Ms. Fortune plots to avenge her fallen comrades.

Basics

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

Ms. Fortune is a rushdown puppet character who can take off her head, which provides more control in neutral, amazing corner pressure, and unique combos.

• Head-on Mode: With her head on Ms. Fortune retains her jHP, a fast and strong pressure/combo tool. Combined with her lowered minimum air dash height, Head-On Fortune distinguishes herself from the litter with oppressive close up pressure. Her Fiber Uppers (623K) also have invulnerability when she's head-on, making it a strong tool to help close in on opponents from midrange.

• Headless Mode: After using Cat Strike (214P) or Cat Spike (j214P), Ms Fortune removes her head which changes several aspects of her playstyle. In headless mode the HP button becomes dedicated to controlling the head, which has its own unique set of moves. The head can control space from a distance separately from the body, or it can be used to make some of her unsafe moves and approaches much safer. Headless gives up some of her brute force from head-on, but gains good control tools to work from any distance.

• Versatile Mobility: Ms. Fortune's ground dash is a very important mobility tool due to its high speed and low hurtbox, allowing it to low profile a number of projectiles and even some normals. She also has a double jump, a far traveling air dash, and small air hurtboxes, making her very elusive in the air as well. Additionally, her Fiber Upper is a great fast mobility tool that gives her a strong diagonal vector into the air.

Important Moves

• 5LP - Fastest jab in the game with a great hitbox. Can also be used to challenge IAD approaches.
• 2LK - One of the farthest reaching lows in the game with very little blockstun, making it hard to pushblock.
• 5HP - Far reaching poke that leads to a full combo and standard heavy counter hit starter.
• jLK - Main air to ground and air to air poke. Reaches pretty far in front of and below Fortune.
• jMK - A strong air-to-air that is great for catching defensive airborne opponents (Valentine/Painwheel). The momentum of this move makes it great for covering a large distance in a single jump.
• Reversals
  • Fiber Uppercut (623K) - Main DP that can also be used for mobility
  • Cat Scratch Fever (236PP)
  • Feral Edge (j214KK) - Air reversal

Headless Mode

Ms. Fortune can remove her head by using Cat Strike (214P), using Cat Spike (j214P), by getting hit by a snapback or through optional enders on her level 1 supers. While Ms. Fortune is headless...

• The HP button becomes dedicated to controlling and attacking with the head. This means that Ms. Fortune doesn't have access to her HP normals while headless.
• Ms. Fortune can hit her own head which turns into a hitbox as its launched into the air. Doing this inflicts no damage to herself. See 'Decap Attack' under the headless moves section.
• The head can be hit for 50% of normal damage. If both the point and the head get caught in the same combo, it will do tons of extra damage, making this scenario one of the biggest risks of being headless.

Some other traits are changed as well:

• 5MP and 5HK are changed since the head-on animations use the head.
• Ms. Fortune's normals and Fiber Upper have increased damage when she is headless. In the move data, the two different values will be listed as: Head on dmg / Headless dmg.
• The rekka enders Cat Slide and ground El Gato become specials that can be used on their own, enhancing her grounded mixup game.
• Her minimum instant airdash height is increased, weakening her IAD mixups.
• Fiber Upper becomes throw invulnerable only, but she is able to perform the follow-up if any of the hits connect.

Lastly, it's worth noting that Ms. Fortune retains the same hurtboxes she has during head-on, meaning she still has a hurtbox where her head would be.

Probably Fortune's best air normal. Fast, has a good range, lot of hitstun, may cross-up, leads into easy confirms, etc. Use this a lot in neutral (instant jLK, ADC, jLK, 214LK/jMP is godlike). This is also your go-to normal for fuzzy overheads.

Has 2 hits and alters her air momentum to keep her in the air for a bit. Good pressure and combo tool and your best attack to challenge characters that like to stay in the air a lot like Painwheel and Valentine. jMK fastfall allows for some of Fortune's best reset options.

Slow but has a good hitbox. Better than j.hp to control space with so its pretty important in headless neutral. When used outside of a chain combo, causes a soft KD against aerial opponents, allowing an immediate ground recovery.

Ms. Fortune's rekka. While head-on, two additional followup hits can be done by pressing P. The first button used to execute the attack will determine the version for the 2nd and 3rd hits. After the 1st or 2nd hits, you can choose to finish with either Cat Slide (2K) or El Gato (K). She can also cancel the 2nd hit directly into Cat Strike (214P). The first hit of the L version leaves you at +0 on block. While headless, this move will only perform the last hit, and the Cat Slide / El Gato follow ups can be done on their own. When trying to cancel Rekka into Headroll, holding back at the end of the input (21[4]HP) increases the buffer window, making it much easier to do.

Ms. Fortune's DP and one of her main mobility tools. It has a jump follow-up when either the first hit connects or all hits whiff, when headless she can do the jump follow-up with any amount of hits (not requiring the first hit). The L version is very important for head-on combos and the H version is a great mobility tool and comboable reversal that's very unsafe on block. It loses the hit invulnerability when headless losing its use as a reversal, but it can still be useful as a comboable anti-air. As an assist, it will always have full invulnerability regardless if Fortune has the head or not. Invulnerability for 7f of start up. 8f start up on follow up jump. Invulnerability for 12f of start up. 9f start up on follow up jump. Invulnerability for all of start up and 2f of active. 11f start up on follow up jump.

Similar to the rekka follow-up but done in the air. Has three different strengths which all hit mid and will keep your aerial momentum. Very damaging overall so it's pretty common in combos, but it's still a good neutral game tool due to its disjointed hitbox and the way it stops Fortune's air momentum for a moment. The L and M versions knock down airborne opponents but the H version ground bounces standing opponents and gives a sliding knockdown on airborne opponents.

Ms. Fortune performs the Decap Attack when hitting her own head at the opponent. It has no single command. Using different moves on her head will send the head at different speeds and angles, but the single hit from the head is always the same. Unlike other head attacks that are considered command normals, this attack will not cancel to any of the head's special moves on hit. The head has 4f of cooldown after landing. Decap attacks do not add undizzy on their own, nor can they trigger a burst.

A jab from Ms. Fortunes disembodied head. The Headless attack does not interrupt if the body blocks, but will stop if the body gets hit. The head recovery animation after Headbutt is shorter than all other head attacks. On hit or block, Ms. Fortune can cancel this move into either Feline Allergies or OMNOMNOMNOM, but only the latter will combo, and only from point blank. * The head has 30f of cooldown after a successful attack.

The head becomes invincible and tosses itself on an arc, basically the head's DP, if it's close you can use it as a reversal. Can help moving the head around, but has a lot of recovery. The head's most damaging attack. On hit, will launch the opponent into the air. The head will not stop the sneeze if the body blocks or gets hit during the head's start up frames. If you are incoming with Fortune and the head is near, you can use this to catch the opponent attacking you as Fortune enters the screen

A hit-grab that has a huge recovery period and on hit will send the head flying. Very common combo starter for headless Fortune, very easy to convert from. The head always ends the attack by leaping away from the nearest corner of the screen. This move will continue if the body is blocking, but if the body is hit then the attack will stop.

Ms. Fortune attacks with a series of invulnerable claw swipes, ending with a headbutt and causing a sliding knockdown with her Head On. The Headless version of this super ends with a multi-hit claw drill, dealing damage with many smaller hits before sending the opponent into the air behind Ms. Fortune for a normal knockdown. The head-on version can be canceled into a modified Cat Strike without any invulnerability on hit. This can make it safe when it hits an assist but the point blocks, however, it can be stuffed before it comes out. You can follow-up from the headless version if it's used out of the corner or by hitting with the head.

Ms. Fotune's invulnerable air super dives to the ground, hitting multiple times before she lands. If the initial dive connects, Ms. Fortune preforms a wide arcing tail swipe as the final hit for a knockdown. If she has her Head On, she can cancel the recovery with Feline Allergies for an additional hit that detaches her head. You can get an OTG microdash 5LP if the opponent is close enough from you when you use it. It also has an invincible start-up so it's a pretty solid aerial reversal though it has a significant dead zone in front of it and if it hits backwards the final hit will whiff and the opponent can get a full punish. Can sometimes uncombo if it hits the head, to which the opponent may/may not (will test later- seen) get a punish on you. Alternatively, if the opponent wasn't blocking, you will get a reset with a decent chunk to start.

This super hits as Ms. Fortune's limbs fly off screen as a hit grab. On hit, Ms. Fortune and the opponent travel back to the head, taking damage in the explosion. Ms. Fortunes head and body pieces are all completely invulnerable until she re-assembles during the explosion. If it's done far from the ground it can be a bit awkward to punish. All of the limbs that fly off have hitboxes until they leave the screen so it can catch people if they're not careful. Does a lot of damage in the beginning of combos and allows for a followup combo in the corner using OTG, making it a good ender before the final string of a combo. H Fiber then Fifth of Dismember is pretty good as it is fast and can lead to ambigious cross-ups, this is also a good way of closing the gap to punish someone hitting the head while headless.
