Story

Umbrella is currently running a pyramid scheme to fund her Hungry Hungry Hippos knock-off "Hungry Hungry Hungern". She plans to use the money from her board game sales to buy more ice cream.

Basics

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

Umbrella is a strange setplay/grappler hybrid. From her slow, menacing bubbles to her high-damage grabs, she's definitely not at a loss for ways to keep you locked in or out. Her main neutral options are going to be sending out two of those aforementioned bubbles, but make one mistake around them and she goes a mile with it, with combo damage that sends chills down Big Band's spine.

Playstyle

Umbrella has an optional blurb here if we want to put one.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Extremely high damage - Pretty much all of umbrella's moves, especially her punch normals and specials, do insane damage. Horrifying strike/throw - Getting opened up by Tongue Twister could very well result in the death of your character, even from full health. Anti-Zoning tools - Retina Reflector reflects projectiles, making zoning against Umbrella generally unviable. On top of that, her s.HP hits projectiles back, baseball style.

Clunky movement - Umbrella's step dash is relatively slow and cannot be stopped until her foot is planted on the ground, making full screen approaches slightly more difficult. Extensive hurtboxes - Hungern is almost always considered a part of Umbrella's hurtbox, meaning that she has very few actual disjoints to work with. Only 14 colors - Gimme more alts future club pls

Important Moves

• Tongue Twister - A very fast grounded command grab, which can stretch to full screen in Ravenous.
• Salt Grinder - Your hit grab combo extender. Very high damage and staggers on release, leading to easy follow-ups.
• Wish Maker - Slow, horizontal bubble that traps your opponent in a bubble on hit, mainly used in neutral or for combo extensions.

Hunger Bar

Umbrella's hunger bar is an indication of the current state that Hungern is in. Hungern has four stages, Overstuffed, Satiated, Ravenous, and Starving. Each state comes with changes to the speed, advantage, damage, and properties of Umbrella's punch buttons. Umbrella always starts the match in Satiated. (Note that the current image depicting the hunger bar is outdated, however the property changes per state are the same.)

Umbrella raises Hungern up, and Hungern grows exponentially before Umbrella slams them down. Hungern actually has a hitbox when growing, making it a really strong combo tool.
