Backstory

PLACEHOLDER

Gameplay

Noll is a setplay/rushdown oriented character that relies on his range to gain momentum in a match.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Good pressure after knockdown. j.CC allows for pressure after knockdown by being able to make the opponent block, allowing for mix with 2B/2A or being able to bait out a counter and start another combo. Insane damage if j.C is used correctly. If you can properly setup j.C and combo a move into it, you can do a lot more damage than doing something akin to j.C into j.CC. Good range and conversions. Options like 4B and j5C have massive coverage/range, and the fact that you can usually convert them into combos after landing them makes fighting Noll a hellish experience sometimes. Great neutral. Noll has multiple tools that are insanely good in neutral, such as 4B for it's insane air approach coverage, 5B as a long ranged poke, backdash j.B for getting out of range, and j.C for being able to track halfscreen and start combos just by hitting it sometimes.

Extremely meter hungry. With how Noll usually revolves around using tools like j5C for a majority of the match, he loses a lot of meter very quickly, forcing you to either power charge or go in with close to no meter. Pressured easily without having j5C up. Being in the corner without j5C setup can sometimes be a death sentence, as you lose access to 2C (Teleport) and j.CC (Phantom Spinner), both useful for escaping pressure.

Followups

move > 4B	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 35 Mid - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll summons a phantom blade to send the opponent upward. Works as a semi-launcher, allowing for things like 4A > delay 4B > 5C > j.C.

move > 6B	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 25 Mid - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll summons a phantom blade to send the opponent backwards. Not as good as the 4B followup, but allows for things like 4A > 6B > 6A > 6B > 5C > j.C.

Universal Mechanics

Overhead 2B	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 10 High 4B, 5B - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll summons a phantom blade from above and sends it downward. Despite it's low damage, it is a powerful combo starter and can even be used mid-combo as filler.

Somewhat deceptive range. Some silly usage can come out of it, like in corner being able to do 214A > 2A.

Throw	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 100 Unblockable Throw - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll winds up and lunges in to grab the opponent. Noll's grab is fairly quick and has a good range, along with allowing you to combo after it (more in Combos section).

Counter	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 15 Unblockable - - Counter - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Just a plain counter.

Specials

5C	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 45 Mid Jump - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll summons a phantom spinner above him and spins it around for a small amount of time. Great for combo extensions by getting the opponent into the air. Jump cancellable.

j.C	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 25 High j.CC - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll summons a phantom blade. One of the most fear-inducing moves in Noll's kit. You can hold left, neutral, or right and be sent in that direction when doing j.C. (j.4C, j.5c, j.6c). Tracks opponent from half-screen. Limit of 1 on screen at all times (unless using glitches)

j.CC	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 50 Mid 2C - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll turns his phantom sword into a spinner, moving for a bit before dissapearing. Has some silly uses, like catching the opponent after they use Star Buster. EXTREMELY useful if used right.

2C	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost - - - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll teleports to his phantom blade, swapping places with it, Has a few uses. Can be used for escaping pressure, can be used for combos, baiting opponents as an approach, etc. Only usable if j.C is out on the field.

Supers

236A	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 150 Mid - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll slashes with his katana 3 times and knocks the opponent away from him. If you have j.C set up, you have the ability to teleport to or activate j.C after 236A ends.

214A	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 185 Mid - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll rises upward as he slashes many times around him. *Sets up a j.C after the super, allowing you to combo after it OR set up oki. If you already have a j.C setup when you do 214A, it will activate after the super ends. Fully invulnerable on startup.

j.236B	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 8*N+43 High - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll spins around rapidly with his phantom blades as he rises up and down. Can catch opponents on the way up/down. Like 214A, it will activate a j.C if one is setup. If one is not setup, it will do a 5C instead. Like regular 5C, this one can be cancelled.

214B	Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost - Unblockable - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll waits for a bit before slashing hard, stunning the enemy for a short amount of time. Very unsafe, as there is a small gap for the opponent to react to the super with a button/move away.

236C

Damage Guard Cancel Invul Property Cost 350 Unblockable - - - - Startup Active Recovery Advantage Proration Juggle - - - - - - Noll sidesteps for a bit. If he is hit during the counter, Noll will slash the enemy and summon a phantom spinner to attack them. A counter that lets you combo after it. One of the most powerful combo starters due to how much damage it does. Just don't whiff it, or you will most likely eat tons of damage.

Combos

Do note: All of the combos listed aren't the only combos doable with Noll. Try and get creative!

Loops

• 5BB > 4B (395 damage) link to demonstration
• 6A > 6B (325 damage) link to demonstration

Both of these loops are good for the reason that they do decent damage with fairly easy execution OR need to build up meter. Also useful in the situation that you are Glitched by Glitch's 236C and cannot use your C moves.

• j.A > j.BB (270 damage) link to demonstration

Not as damaging as the above two, but what it lacks in damage it makes up for in corner carry. If you reach corner before the end of the loop, it is possible to use a j.C and set up oki. You could also just do it after any part in the loop except the end.

BnBs

Various Starters

• 5BB > jump > j.AA > jump > j.AA > j.BB > j.C (173 damage) link to demonstration

A basic Noll combo for setting up a j.CC okizeme situation. Can use 5BB after combo to extend it. This can also be started with any normal:
4a demonstration
6a demonstration
5a/5aa/5aaa demonstration
2a demonstration

• 5BB > 4A > j.AA > j.BB > j.AA > jump > j.AA > j.BB > j.C link to demonstration

Less conventional but more damaging version of the above BNB. A lot tighter than above combo.

Combos

Grab Starter (with j.C setup)

• Grab > j.CC > 214A > 5BB > j.CC > 214A > 236B > jc > j.5c > [5BB > j.CC > 2B > 5BB > 5C > jc > j.5c]x2 > 5BB > j.CC(744 damage) link to demonstration

This combo is pretty good for two reasons. For one, it deals almost 3/4 of the opponent's health. Another reason is that you can prematurely end the combo at the last j.C and start oki, allowing for a pretty dangerous situation for the opponent.

To-do

Basic stuff like the landing page and navbox is in, along with some system pages. System page is complete.

Clean up and finish the rest of the character pages. Every page needs to be updated to account for changes in updates 2.0 to 2.4. Create netplay page. Update FAQ Add patch-notes from 2.1 to 2.4. Finish adding frame data to every page, and begin adding hit-boxes to every page. Glitch is currently the gold standard in the gameplay section, hitboxes aside. (Avoid doing Violet's at all costs however!) When Adding Hitboxes: Only take images from Fighter Factory. This is to keep the look of the hitboxes clean! Ensure that this chart is updated over time.
