Introduction
Estelle is an easy to pick up poking character with a plethora of tools to keep her opponents at bay. On top of her good projectiles, most of her pokes have either good range or super armor, if not both. This makes her quite hard to contest in neutral. However, her damage output is quite low, rarely breaking 2k damage in a combo. Her good neutral is also compensated by her poor offense, due to a lack of offense-oriented Skills. Finally, her balanced stats makes it hard for her to specialize into a specific build.
If you enjoy a stable, neutral-centric gameplan centered around poking the enemy to death - or are a Smallcalibur enjoyer, give Estelle a try.
Playstyle
| Estelle is a neutral-centric character with hard to challenge pokes and tons of super armor
|
| Strengths |
Weaknesses
|
- Super Armor: Estelle's attacks tends to have lots of super armor, which is very useful both in neutral and in defense.
- Great Neutral: Estelle has access to a plethora of long-range pokes and projectiles that lets her dictate the pace of neutral.
- Good SP Gain: Since Estelle's [A] is armored, gaining SP is relatively easy for her.
- Great Anti-Airs: Estelle's A and S3 are very good at catching aerial approaches.
|
- Poor Offense: Most of Estelle's Skills are designed to be used in neutral. As such, her offensive capabilities are somewhat limited compared to other characters.
- Low Damage: Estelle's combos tends to be pretty short, and as such don't do a lot of damage.
- Bad Air Fighter: Estelle's toolkit is noticeably weaker in the air than on the ground. As such, she is often forced to stay grounded most of the time.

Estelle's normal link has great range, making it great for poking without using resources. Her A and B in particular also makes for great emergency anti-airs.

A very awkward air normal. While fast, its lack of range (compared to Estelle's other attacks) makes it difficult to use in neutral. It also doesn't lead to much reward on hit.

Projectile

Arguably Estelle's best projectile. Although slightly slower than Comet (and twice as expensive), it choots 4 fireballs that homes in on the opponent. This greatly helps her at long range. It can also be used in combos in order to keep opponents in the air
- Can inflict Burn on hit
- Impact frame assumes point blank
