Normal Moves

5A	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 4 +0 +0 Fairly short ranged jab with a surprisingly tall hitbox. Can be used as an anti-air or in scramble situations but Perfecti has better moves for both situations.

5AA	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 4 -4 -4 Same as 5A but she moves forwards slightly. Typical 5AA, nothing notable about it.

5AAA	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 4 -4 -4 Perfecti swings her rifle spear like in Close 5B while moving forwards slightly. Has fairly short range, isn't useful for much.

5AAAA	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 4 KD -8 Perfecti smashes the rifle spear down into the opponent like in Close 5C. Typical 5AAAA combo ender that knocks down, shouldn't be used over her much better options.

5B (close)	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 6 +0 -2 Perfecti swings the rifle spear horizontally against the opponent. Has short range but comes out quickly. Decent close ranged option.

5B (far)	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 7 -8 -10 Perfecti swings the rifle spear downwards on the opponent. One of the best pokes in the game, coming out very quickly while outranging most other normals among the cast. Strong neutral tool and a frequent combo starter.

5BB	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 6 -4 -8 Perfecti stabs the rifle spear forward causing an explosion. Pretty bad move overall, doesn't knockdown and puts you close to the opponent while you're minus. Be careful not to accidentally get it when using 5B.

5C (close)	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 8 KD -4 Perfecti smashes the rifle spear down on the opponent, knocking them down. Doesn't really serve much purpose, as Perfecti is rarely in range to use the move, and the move has very little reward on hit or block especially when compared to her other close range options.

5C (far)	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 11 KD -12 Incredibly long ranged stab with the rifle spear. One of the longest normals in the game, and despite its high recovery if spaced it's very hard to punish. Strong tool in neutral.

5CC

Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 9 KD -12 Perfecti shoots a screen long laser from the end of the rifle spear. Very strong move. Can be used to add a little damage when 5C hits, but even more importantly, 5CC has a huge amount of pushback on block. This means that despite it being -12, the move is unpunishable unless used point blank. Very important move for neutral and block strings.

2A	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 4 +0 +0 Perfecti performs a short kick. Has significantly more range than 5A while having the same frame data, and is one of her best close range options.

2B	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 6 -2 -4 Perfecti spins the rifle spear in her hand twice, creating a large circle of slashes. Despite how it looks the hitbox is only in the front of the move. However, the hitbox is still rather large and is a strong anti-air tool, although it is possible for the opponent to jump past the hitbox. Very safe on block.

2C	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - Low 10 KD -11 Perfecti stabs the rifle spear at the opponent's feet. Perfecti's only low, and while it does have good range, 5B and 5C are superior poking tools, and Perfecti isn't going to be high low mixing the opponent much. Still a decent sweep, but is rarely used.

j.A	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High 4 VB VB Perfecti hits forward with the hilt of the rifle spear. Effectively a jumping 5A. Not very good as it's near impossible to use as a landing aerial and doesn't have a good air to air hitbox.

j.B	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High 6 VB VB Perfecti stabs the spear forward while in the air. Very good air to air tool, but hard to use for landing.

j.C	Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High 7 VB VB Very fast and very strong j.C. Doesn't have as good horizontal range as j.B but has a huge vertical hitbox. Great for jump ins and decent at air to airing too. Optimal combo starter. Can be used as an instant overhead against Blitztank.

Command Normals

シュトゥーカ - Stuka j.2X

Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block - High/Low 16 KD VB Perfecti floats in the air briefly before diving to the ground with her spear out. A situational divekick. The heavier the button used, the steeper the angle of the move. Despite having lots of recovery, the move bounces Perfecti far away from the opponent on block, making it hard to punish in most situations. It is also hard to air to air, making it a pain for some characters to deal with. A good tool to throw out on occasion, but it isn't very rewarding on hit or block. DO NOT use this move in corner, since while it may seem like it's good for escaping corner, if the opponent blocks it the bounce back is nullified by the corner positioning, giving them a free punish. Unfortunately does not hit overhead.

Special Moves

ゲッターカノーネ - Götterkanone 236+A/B/C/D

- - - - - Perfecti's main zoning tool and fireball. Shoots a fast moving fireball in one of three directions depending on the button. Also an important combo tool. Disappears if Perfecti gets hit. Version Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block A - High/Low 11 KD -9 Perfecti shoots a fireball straight forwards. Can be used as a combo ender although it's inferior to 5CC. Won't be used too often in favor of using A to charge lasers since they cover the same angle. B - High/Low 12 KD -9 Perfecti shoots a fireball at a ~35 degree angle. Can be used as an anti-air to catch lower jump angles. Main combo tool for confirming into EX 236, as well as leading to some follow ups in the corner if spaced correctly. C - High/Low 13 KD -9 Perfecti shoots a fireball at a ~60 degree angle. Can be used to anti-air higher jump angles. If close enough to the opponent to hit it, it leads to her strongest corner combos. EX - High/Low 11 WB -19 Perfecti shoots an especially large orb across the screen horizontally. Very important move for comboing in midscreen, leads to her main high damage bnbs by comboing into dash attack. Can also be used as an expensive and slow but relatively safe invincible reversal. Not fully invincible so it can trade, but leads to high reward if it hits.

ラーンスネッツ - Ransnetz 214+A/B/C/D

- - - - - Perfecti creates three missiles in the air that float for a little while before homing in towards the opponent. The tracking on the projectile for all versions is a bit underwhelming, especially their vertical tracking, and is very easy to avoid in most situations. However, forcing the opponent to avoid them in the first place gives it use. Despite visually being three projectiles, with the exception of the EX version they count as one hit. Also a good setplay tool that gives strong tick throw setups and pressure resets. Also allows for some crazy albeit impractical combo extensions. Version Damage Guard Startup Adv Hit Adv Block A - High/Low 95 VB VB Launches the missiles after a second and a half. B - High/Low 125 VB VB Launches the missiles after 2 seconds. C - High/Low 155 VB VB Launches the missiles after 2 and a half seconds. EX - High/Low 85 VB VB Perfecti creates 5 missiles instead of 3 and rather than counting as one hit, it counts as 5, one for each missile. Has better tracking as a result of each missile being its own projectile. Launches in slightly less than a second and a half. Has uses but won't be used much in favor of spending bar on EX 236 and EX 22 for combos.
