(N) = Multi-hit move hits only N times. May be omitted if all hits are used. xN = Normal that chains into itself pressed N times. May be omitted if all hits are used. [X] = Hold down X ]X[ = Release X X~Y = X then Y done in quick succession X/Y = X or Y !X = X triggers a burst OTG = Following move hits off the ground, after a red bounce CH = Counter hit fastfall = Cancelling an air normal into another move to change momentum and land early. The second move doesn't hit, it gets canceled when landing. Example: Double jHP(1) > jHK lets Double land from the multi-hit jHP early. sj = Super jump dj = Double jump jc = Jump cancel ADC = Airdash cancel IAD = Instant airdash TK = Tiger knee (doing an air move the moment a jump sends you airborne, typically by inputting a special move motion followed by jump+button. Example: 2147LK for TK Airball)

Hit Confirms

• 2LK 2MK - Standard, hunger-independent low > low hitconfirm that's -2.
• 2LK 5MK - Standard low > low hitconfirm when close to a puddle, since 2MK splash will ruin many routes. More damage than 2LK 2MK,, and combos into 6HP and more, but is -5 on block.
• 2LK 2MP - Ravenous low > low hitconfirm. More damage than 2LK 2MK, and only -3. Functions while Overstuffed, since it's -6, but 2MP will hit mid, so it's not too effective. Do NOT use this hitconfirm while Satiated, it's -8.
• 2MP Slurp - Ravenous low > mid hitconfirm. Combos from max range, it's +2 on block and makes her a massive threat midrange. While in satiated, it will combo into Slurp but you have to use Reflector or an assist to combo after.
• jMP jMK - Ravenous overhead hitconfirm. After landing, link 2MP or 2HK into your normal bnb.
• jMP dl jHP - Alternate Ravenous overhead hitconfirm that can lead into higher damage since you get a stage 1 special cancel, but can be hard to follow up without using OTG. It's still possible by cancelling into Slurp and using 5LP, or by using Slurp and an assist. Try doing as few hits of jHP as possible.

BnB Combos

Beginner

A basic ground chain combo ending in sweep. Unsafe on block.

  2LK 2MK 2HK

A basic ground chain combo ending in a special cancel. Also unsafe on block, so don't do the Salt Grinder (236LP) if you notice your opponent is blocking. Instead, do Slurp n Slide ([4]6MP) to restart your pressure.

  2LK 2MK 2HK 236LP

A basic ground chain combo ending in a super cancel.

  2LK 2MK 2HK 236LP 623PP

Intermediate

To start playing Umbrella you only really need two combos: The Satiated BnB and the Ravenous BnB. While Overstuffed and Starving combos are useful, they're not obligatory to learn to play the character.
