Introduction

Curly is the main heroine of Cave Story.

Gameplay

Health: 11,000

Curly Brace is a character that excels in zoning and controlling space. The best at keeping the opponent out and preventing them from getting past her defense. She can seem to be extremely frustrating and downright unfair to fight because of the number of tools she has to keep the opponent from getting in on her on the ground and in the air. Gameplan revolves around chipping away at the opponent's health with projectiles and frustrating them into committing to risky options such as jump to get in.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
Exceptional zoning and space control and is able to play an incredibly powerful keep away game. No character can contest with her in a fireball war. Good okizeme with her 2S (WMD) and 4S (Fireball). Does not rely too much on meter at all to reinforce her gameplan. Cute robot girl	Below average health having the second lowest health in the game. No reliable defensive or reversal option. Fair amount of recovery on projectiles which means they can be very dangerous to throw out once the opponent closes in. Subpar normal buttons in the close to midrange. Lack of a frame 5 light attack.
