Battle Craze!!/Necross/C-Side

Overview

Playstyle

C-Necross is a slow grappler that keeps her opponent guessing for their life.
Pros	Cons
Damage and conversions: C-Necross has some of the best conversions in the game, having a good way to start combos off most of her moves in neutral. She also typically gets more than 250 off most of her common starters. Normals: All of her normals are pretty long ranged and can reach even farther if she spends some health for her charge normals. OTG Vortex: has access to an extremely scary vortex if she's close enough to the opponent after an OTG.	Weak to zoning: While C-Necross at close to mid range is very threatening, she has a lot of issues getting around zoning due to her best anti-zoning too being dire prone and pretty slow. Spends health: Necross has to spend health to use her charge normals for her great conversions and range, making the player have to think when they use her charge normals so she doesn't shoot herself in the foot playing neutral. Reversals: Her only reversal tools are her command grab supers.

Statistics

Trait	"Threats from Abbadon": Necross can charge her strong normals to extend their range and apply Dire Counter Effects at the cost of some health. Cross glyph moves can be followed up with her Craze Technique.
Health	1000
Mobility	Dash

Move Overview

Universal Mechanics

Craze Tech

Last Will and Testament 5CT	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 136 Overhead 21 - - +1 -1 Dire Ground Bounce Overhead kick. If you use this during a knockdown (any knockdown) she'll lock the opponent in it and force an OTG. Essential to her mix and vortex, basically no reason to not end combos with this if you don't use a super.

Throws

Third Sphere: Angel's Talon 5GP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 120 Throw Tech 4 - - +30 N/A Necross' forward throw, knocks the opponent away.

Third Sphere: Angel's Blight 4GP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 120 Throw Tech 4 - - +20 N/A Necross' back throw, knocks the opponent far behind her.

Third Sphere: Angel's Plummet j.5GP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 120 Throw Tech 2 - - +50 N/A Necross' air throw, if it's hit raw it launches the opponent up for a combo.

Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker 4CT while blocking	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 32 Mid 17 - - +1 -23 Necross' heartbreaker, uses 5SP's animation.

Normals

Standing

5LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 36 Mid 4 2 - +3 -1 Fast poke, good for punishes and pressure.

5SP

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect Uncharged 88 Mid 9 2 - +2 -3 - - Far ranged strike that advances her forward a bit. Oddly enough this normal's better for going into 4SP for her links. Charged 6SP 104 Mid 18 2 - wall bounce -3 Dire - Her main extender. Starts high damage combos anywhere she wants, most of her routing just goes straight into this move.

5LK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 36, 12 (48) Mid 5 2 - +2 -4 Good normal for hitconfirms and combo filler. First hit doesn't push her back, allowing her to extend loops for a lot longer.

5SK	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect Uncharged 96 Mid 9 2 - +3 -1 - - Amazing for hit confirms because of it's range and damage. Her main cancel into 6SP. Charged 6SK 96 Mid 17 2 - +3 -3 Dire - Brings the opponent closer to her on hit or block. Good for threatening grabs or if you just went into 5SP and you need a different way to end a string.

Crouching

2LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 36 Mid 4 2 - +3 -1 Crouching version of 5LP. Catches low-profiles and also has better frame advantage on block, good to just add to her vortex.

2SP	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect Uncharged 96 Mid 11 4 - +3 -3 - - Can be used as a low profile, or just to advance a little further forward for a hit confirm. Charged 3SP 96 Mid 17 4 - +3 -5 Dire - Pretty uncommon, has a pretty good low-profile hurtbox.

2LK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 40 Low 6 2 - +3 -1 Very fast far reaching low. The main normal she uses. Reaches far, hits low, and has pretty good frame data all around.

2SK	Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect Uncharged 120 Low 11 3 - +41 -7 - - Really standard sweep. Charged 3SK 128 Low 19 3 - +48 -6 Dire - Very strong poke, better than her normal sweep in every way other than its start-up. Can be special canceled unlike her normal sweep.

Jumping

j.5LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 44 Overhead 4 3 - - - Good air-to-air normal. Optimal in her combos if it's used early into them.

j.5SP

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect Uncharged 96 Overhead 7 12 - - - - - Early hitbox can be used for some cheeky cross-ups but this is mostly combo filler. Main cancel into 2SK. Charged j.2SP 96 Overhead 7 12 - - - Dire - Decent tool for ambiguous cross-ups that can be canceled into CT to go into another overhead or j.236P to make it safe on block. worse than j.2SK in every way in combos.

j.5LK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block 40 Overhead 6 12 - - - Great jump-in normal and generally just good for pressure.

j.5SK

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect Uncharged 96 Overhead 8 4 - - - - - Used in rejump combos, mostly outclassed by j.SP in other routes, though. Charged j.2SK 112 Overhead 19 4 - wall bounce (first 2 hits of a combo) tumble (any hit after the second one in a combo) - Dire - Basically the air version of 6SP, just as essential for her combos as well. On top of being an amazing extender it's also one of her best starters, too. Can also be used as an ambiguous cross-up after landing a rising j.LK that goes right over the opponents head, making it very tricky to mash on her.

Command Normals

Third Sphere: Archangel's Staff 6LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 88 Overhead 21 2 - +3 -6 Dire Crumple Has very low blockstun so it can be used to slip command grabs into a block string. Floor splats against air opponents.

Third Sphere: Tower of Babel 4SP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 96 Mid 7 2 - +5 -2 Counter Power Launch Very short range anti-air, very rewarding on hit, though. Linker, used in her standing strings. Great close range blockstring ender (heavy emphasis on close range). Hilariously has a sweet spot at the top of the hitbox that sends opponents higher in juggles.

Specials

Second Sphere: Dominion's Request 236P (air OK)

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LP 120 Mid 15 - - +1 -12 Dire Crumple Tether grapple, used to snipe people pressing buttons from far away. Be careful using this move, if they're close and they block it you are going to get dire punished and probably lose the round. SP 120 Mid 11 - - 0 - Dire Crumple Anti-air grapple. Insane anti-air, reaches incredibly fair. Will whiff on grounded opponents. Air 144 Mid 11 - - +24 - Dire N/A The light version is an incredible space control tool, if it's used close to the ground it's plus on block. The heavy version is good to snipe anti-air attempts, usually much less safe on block when it's being used but can also be made plus on block. Both versions are great combo extenders as well, allowing Necross to go into a ground juggle from the air.

Second Sphere: Dominion's Leash 236P~P	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 24 - - - - +17 - - - Follow-up after 236P on the ground, no reason to not go into this from those moves. Can use CT after this move to start her vortex.

Second Sphere: Power's Advance 214K

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LK 136 Mid 13 7 - +3 -3 Dire Stagger Necross' "tatsu". Her most consistent blockstring ender. If you go into her command grab super from this on block you can threaten a command grab while beating the opponent's mash. Low crushes. SK 144 Mid 15 10 - +15 -6 Dire Wall bounce Decent as a meaty option. Extremely niche anti-air.

Second Sphere: Principalities' Demand 623K

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect LK 152 Mid 12 9 - +17 -4 Dire Spin out Advancing knee. The first hit restands and can be craze canceled, making this the go-to craze cancel move. Also her main meterless combo ender since it puts the opponent right in front of her after she uses her CT. Low-crushes. SK 152 Mid 16 9 - +17 -4 Dire Spin out The same move as the light version in every way other than the fact that it's slower and goes farther. Not super useful outside of meaty set-ups.

First Sphere: Seraphim's Roar 63214P May god have mercy on your soul if you get Dire Countered with this move. May god have mercy on your soul if you get Dire Countered with this move.	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 176 N/A 4 2 - +22 N/A Dire Flip out Command grab. Very rewarding to land, restarts her vortex right in front of the opponent's face and also just does a lot of damage. Very fast, making this useful to punish certain moves as well. Heavy version switches sides.

First Sphere: Cherubim's Cord 41236K	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 128 N/A 17 2 - +19 N/A Dire Stagger Long ranged command grab. Easy command grab to land during blockstrings. Can also be used to snipe someone respecting you at mid range. Main mid screen Dire extender that looks really sick.

Supers

All-Out Attack

First Sphere: Seraphim's Sword 236236K	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 248 Mid 6 9 - tumble -24 Dire N/A Main combo ending level 1 super. Low-crushes.

First Sphere: Seraphim's Smash 63214PP I HATE MY SON I HATE MY SON	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 264 N/A 6 2 - +26 N/A Dire N/A Command grab super. Her only true reversal (barring level 2). Frame 0 post super flash, meaning the opponent can't jump it on reaction to the super flash.

All-Out EX

First Sphere: Seraphim's Smash EX 63214KK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 320 N/A 4 2 - +4 N/A Dire N/A Just the level 1 command grab but better. Has worse oki. Still frame 0 post super flash.

All-Out Destruction

First Sphere: Seraphim's Ecstasy 236236PP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv Hit Adv Block Punish State Dire Effect 400 N/A 7 2 - tumble N/A Dire N/A THIS IS A COMMAND GRAB, PLEASE JUMP IT IF YOU SEE NECROSS DOING IT RAW. Has a lot of range so it can be used to snipe someone trying to stay away from you and throwing stuff out. NOT frame 0 post super flash.
