Story
Plexie is an alien from the planet Seerel, a small and militant society that trained every citizen to be a soldier. As the runt of the litter, Plexie was often picked on and had to work harder than the rest just to be competent. Her biggest comfort was Earth. During breaks, she would look at the beautiful planet longingly and imagine what it would be like to live there. However, one day her sensors went off -- someone had unlocked time travel on Earth! She secretly took a space ship there to save the planet, but ended up crash landing into the building! What she found there would completely change her past life as an obedient soldier...
Gameplay Overview
Plexie is a mid-range zoner who excels at keep-out -- if going by Smash archetypes, she would be considered a swordie. She has ridiculous disjoints, even on her grab, and can keep herself very safe in neutral. However, she becomes very unsafe at close range, and has no way to exert pressure from far away. This makes her very precise, with small mistakes being very punishing.

Combos
Plexie rarely has a reason to not go for max combo damage, but since her N-Attack is more plus on hit than F-Attack, that might be worth considering as a replacement in some scenarios depending on what you want. Combos will be sorted by damage, which is in (parentheses).
N-Grab
- N-Grab > B-Special > F-Attack - MAX Damage (25)
- N-Grab > F-Special - Positioning (23)
- N-Grab > B-Special > N-Attack - Best frames (22)
B-Special
- B-Special > B-Attack > F-Attack - MAX Damage (35) - May need to walk up for B-Attack if B-Special is hit from far away
- B-Special > N-Special > B-Special > F-Attack - (33) - Can be alternative to max damage depending on range
- B-Special > B-Attack > N-Attack - Best frames (32)
- B-Special > B-Special > F-Attack (25) - Only works if B-Special is hit near max range
B-Attack
- B-Attack > F-Attack - MAX Damage (30)
- B-Attack > N-Attack - Best frames (27)
N-Special
N-Special is an amazing combo tool with a lot of routes, but very dependent on positioning. It's difficult to find a true max damage combo.
- N-Special (Point Blank) > B-Attack > F-Attack (38) - Also possible by waiting for N-Special to hit before dashing in
- N-Special (Anti-Air) > N-Special > B-Special > F-Attack (36)
- N-Special > F-Special (26)
- N-Special > B-Special > F-Attack(23)
F-Grab
- F-Grab > N-Special > B-Attack > F-Attack - MAX Damage (41) - Only available at point blank next to wall
- F-Grab > F-Special (21)
B-Grab
- B-Grab > F-Attack (23)
Strategy
Plexie's gameplan is very simple, but much more difficult to pull off. All you have to do is keep the opponent at mid range, which is at about the tip of your F-Attack. That is where you can exert pressure with F-Attack, grabs, B-Special, and sometimes even F-Special.
In order to do this, a very important thing to do is to keep yourself covered with N-Special as often as possible. Jumps are the main source of zone-breakers and how Draco and BiOS will often get in, so having an N-Special out will discourage them from jumping. If they do jump in on one and get hit, that will often allow you to get a full combo in. If they jump in while you don't have one out, you may have to anti-air with B-Attack or just block and take the 50/50 game.
Once you force the opponent to stay on the ground, space well with your walk. Depending on the opponent's attitude, you can play safe with F-Attack, or punish aggressive behavior with B-Special or F-Special. Once the opponent starts getting defensive, you can open them up with grabs. Getting hits in will allow you to push them into the corner, where you can box them in with your projectile and disjointed hitboxes -- since they can't back up anymore, it will eliminate one of your range weaknesses, allowing you to pressure them more often.
Make sure to keep an eye on the opponent and play at your range accordingly. Plexie might be difficult to play at times, but playing well will be rewarded!
