This becomes even more powerful when combined with 1 bar craze cancels. Grabs: His grabs do normal damage, however they also set up his puddles.	Low Health: C-Ci-Ci has 75 less health than average. Small Normals: Ci-Ci's normals are generally a little stubby, Mainly his jabs, Using and his other normals are the key to finishing combos in some situations Low Damage: Without puddles Ci-Ci can struggle to get 300 damage.

Sweat Out 5CT

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect Utility N/A N/A 21/16 - - N/A N/A Counter N/A Cici drops a puddle below him. Only 2 puddles can be placed at a time and disappear when off screen. The held version allows for the dash follows 16 frames into the move. Sweat out is Cici's most important move since it allows him to get his movement options, enhance his specials, and access posiden specifc moves.

Current Rider 5CT or Any+CT

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect N/A N/A 20/18 - - N/A N/A Counter N/A Cici places a puddle down from the air, and can be followed up with a omni-directional air dash. This move can be cancelled into from air normals but you will be -6 at least, most characters can mash jab on your follow ups or just air throw you. its best to dash back if you want to threaten with posiden or just follow up with his other air specials instead.

Super Jump 5CT,2CT (requires puddle)

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block N/A N/A 1 - - N/A N/A Cici leaps high into the air, can immediately cancel into his normals. 4CT is a shorter hop upwards but fuctions similarly. Can be a good alternative to putting down puddles closer to your opponent by following up with Current Rider. Some other niche uses are catching other opponents who can match your vertical height or getting the closest thing to an instant overhead with J.Sp since it autotimes to beat the fuzzy system.

Super Dash 6CT (requires puddle)

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block N/A N/A 1 - - N/A N/A Cici dashes toward the opponent, can attack 9 frames after dashing. In neutral this lets Cici threaten with an overhead from very long distances with J.Lp, j.Lk, J.Sk. if the opponent is blocking you can cancel your string into the dash for mix-ups. Its serves as a great combo extender if you are out of range with posiden or you are juggling an air opponent.

Super BackDash 4CT (requires puddle)

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block N/A N/A 1 - - N/A N Cici dashes away the opponent, can attack 9 frames after dashing. Not nearly as applicable as Super Dash since Cici wants to be in your face, but if you want to play patiently then this could be good for getting the opponent impatient and make mistakes. A good thing to do is to cancel into a normal like j.Lp since it carries your momentum and lets you land faster.

Throws

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LP 128 Mid 4 7 - +15 -25 Dire Ground Bounce (forces Tiger's Whip) Ajit's Dragon Punch, this version specifically is better for combos as Ajit doesn't go as high into the air as<br the heavy version.

Supers

All-Out Attack

Solar Flare 236236P	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 200 Mid 9 3 - +46 -25 Dire N/A Big Palm strike with startup invulnerability. Probably best as a raw punish rather than a combo ender as it's his lowest damage super.

All-Out EX

Exodus EX 236236KK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 304 Mid 8 16 - +24 -13 Dire N/A Ajit's level 2 super. Basically the exact same as Exodus but with more damage.
