Combo Babies/Lucey

Lucey on the character select screen

Overview

A dog-girl who lives in the woods, Lucey is the games total rushdown character, relying on her mobility and fast moves to win.

As stated above, Lucey is insanely mobile, possessing plenty of moves that dart her all over the screen, a command dash, a command jump, a long running dash, and the ability to run on walls, it's impossible to understate her wealth of movement options.

On the downside, she has very short range, and doesn't have many combo routes she can easily access due to both her 236 and 214 being movement only specials. The EX versions do have hitboxes, but being EX means you need to spend a bar on them. Overall, Lucey is great for people who wanna run all over the screen and bug their opponent with quick and short combos started from fast moves.

Ground Normals

The frame data in parenthesis is her frame data after using 236A command dash on block. This usually makes her more plus. The frame data shown is when it's cancelled as soon as possible, but later cancels leave her more negative.

5A 5A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 6 Mid 4 - - +6 -6 (+1) Lucey's jab, and one of the fastest standing jabs. The speed makes it good for mashing, and it starts her combos well.

5B 5B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 12 Mid 7 - - Launch -2 (+4) A quick dagger slash. Very short range, but it is jump cancellable making it nice on block.

5C 5C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 18 Mid 13 - - Launch -10 (+3) Lucey leaps into the air and slashes in front of her. Used mainly as a juggle tool or situational anti-air, as it is very punishable when blocked.

2A 2A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 6 Low 3 - - +12 0 (0) Lucey's 3 frame low. Very fast, but very short range. Starts her best combos.

2B 2B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 12 Low 7 - - Launch -3 (+2) Lucey's launcher. A nice range low kick with some low profile to it make this a good poke, and it can be jump cancelled into her air combos.

2C 2C	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 6 Mid 4 - - Launch -3 (+2) A fast upwards kick. Great for anti-air and combos, and allows for an air action afterwards to extend. This move will not connect on a crouching Rex.

6A 6A	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 12 Mid 7 - - Launch -6 (+1) Lucey's anti-air. This is a rising uppercut, and while it does still possess upper body invincibility, her hurtbox isn't much smaller than the hitbox. Not a bad anti-air, but prone to being stuffed.

6B 6B	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 6 Mid 7 - - +9 +2 (+6) Lucey's poke. Hitbox is almost exclusively just on the floor

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block A - - - - - - - The command dash, and a core tool to her gameplan. The A version travels farther than the B version, and possesses some invincibility on startup. Great for cancelling in pressure to leave her plus, and keep her very close to an opponent. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block B - - - - - - - Similar in most respects to the A version, but doesn't possess the same invincible startup and travels slightly less. This can sometimes leave you more plus, but is otherwise worse as a movement tool.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block C 6, 6 Mid 9 - - +16 +4 C version is again a bit less safe, and slower, but goes farther than the other 2.

Throw

6D 6D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 12 Throw 13 - - Launch Throw Lucey's throw. Very short reach, and can be hard to combo after. Still nice to use however, as command dashes keep Lucey close.

Super Moves

236D 236D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 18 Mid 3 - - Launch +8 EX dash. Similar in animation to the meterless versions, but is very fast and has a hitbox that launches opponents. Jump cancellable, meaning this is her best way to spend meter and extend combos.

214D 214D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 6, 6, 6, 6 Mid 3 - - Launch -2 EX command jump. This is quite different from the meterless versions, as it sends her forward and has a multi-hitting hitbox. Great reversal tool, and can be used in combos as well due to the height and multihitting properties.

[4]6D [4]6D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 12, 12 Mid 5 - - Launch +5 EX spinning slashes. Safe on block like the meterless ones, but does twice the damage and launches the opponent for followups. Great if you have both the charge and the meter to spend, but usually less preferred over 236D and 214D.

41236D 41236D	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block 18, 12, 12, 12, 12 Mid 3 - - Launch -25 Lucey's super. Very fast startup, tons of hits, some invincibility during the super flash. A decent combo ender and reversal, but usually not seen as meter gets spend on her EX moves.
