E's Laf++/Tina

Introduction

Tina

As the resident zoner, Tina's gameplan revolves around filling the screen with projectiles that limit the opponent's movement options. This forces the opponent to play at her pace rather than approaching carelessly. Being able to create shields that erase projectiles as well as simply jabbing projectiles out of existence, Tina has answers in both neutral and whenever the opponent thinks they can out-zone her. While she doesn't have mixup potential, just having the opponent block a couple attacks causes a large amount of chip damage to rack up. What's special too about Tina is that her chip damage cannot be recovered, so fire away to your hearts content!

Tina's potential only shines though when her secondary meter (the Cute Gauge) isn't empty. The majority of Tina's options consume kg upon use. Having 0kg means you're stuck with weaker versions of attacks, and half a moveset. Resource management and knowing when/where to use your moves is the key to success with Tina!

Strengths	Weaknesses
Unrivaled zoning and anti-zoning tools against opposing projectiles. Covers multiple approaches both on the ground and in the air. Deals high amounts of un-recoverable chip damage. Projectile normals that are safe against Tactical Guard and Guard Cancel. Throw range is twice as big as the rest of the cast. Confirmed by Free that she's the cute one.	Average startup on attacks is longer than normal. Lackluster reward if she's at 0kg. Overhead attacks are slow and telegraphed. No grounded movement options.

Cute Gauge

Tina has a secondary meter above the Action Gauge that indicates how much kg she currently has. This gauge lets Tina use more powerful versions of her attacks as well as kg-exclusive moves. The Cute Gauge goes from 80-100kg, meaning a maximum of 20kg can be stored (the remaining 80kg is flavor text.) Tina starts each round with 92kg, and the Cute Gauge passively increases over time. The main way to gain kg is to use 214A (+12kg) or 214B (+20kg.)

Un-recoverable Chip Damage

Tina's attacks deal un-recoverable chip damage to the opponent. Whenever Tina hits the opponent, they lose a maximum of 300 recoverable health per hit in comparison to the standard 150 everyone else does. There are a few moves that still deal recoverable chip damage:

• 5A/2A/j.A
• j.D
• 214A
• 214D
• Tactical Attack
• Guard Cancel

Kebab

After walking a certain amount of distance, Tina will eat a kebab and gain 1kg.

kg While Being Attacked

Tina passively gains kg at a faster rate whenever she's in hitstun or knocked down.

Fatigue

Tina loses kg whenever she runs. If she runs for too long, she comes to a halt, takes a breather, and is temporarily unable to act. This also causes Tina to lose all of her remaining kg.

Additional Jumps/Airdashes

After her initial double jump/airdash, Tina can jump/airdash as many times as she wants at the cost of 2kg per air action. Each additional air action also reduces her Risk Gauge by 1/3 of a bar. An additional backwards airdash will still remove one bar of Risk Gauge.

Clean Hit/Satiety Bonus

Clean Hit Bonus: 5C/6C and 2B/3B deals 30% extra damage after the projectile travels a far enough distance.

Satiety Bonus: If 6C or 3B is performed at 100kg, the attack deals 30% additional damage.
