Introduction

Saber Alter is a slow high damage dealing character. Similar to Leysritt she abuses armour on one of her launchers (6C). Her access to high damage with relatively easy execution means that she needs relatively few neutral wins to take a round which is partly why her tools tend to be commital.

j.A	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv - High J*, N, S, A 10 - 13 -

j.B	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv - High J*, N, S, A 14 - 17 -

j.C	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv - High A 23 - 27 -

6A+B	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 500 None A 4 51 - - Alter slashes at her opponent and leaves them in a vulnerable crumple state that can easily start a combo.

Specials

236X	Version Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 236A 500 All R, A 15 51 63 -9 A quick grounded fireball that hits once. 236B 1111 All R, A 20 56 73 2 A multihitting fireball that allows Alter to reset pressure. 236C 1350 All R, A 27 61 77 -1 Alter creates a wall of fire in front of herself that functions as an anti-air, prevents approaches and deals considerable chip damage.

623X

Version Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 623A 842 All J, R, A 10 61 34 -13 Alter launches the opponent with a vertical attack that starts from the ground. Good during combos, bad otherwise. 623B 947 All R*, A 15 76 34 -23 Alter launches the opponent with a jumping attack. Invulnerable from frame 1 to 14, right before the slash becomes active 623C 1125 All R*, A 7 86 33 -31 Alter launches the opponent before following them into the sky. You can combo out of this by activating midair or rapid guarding before leaving the ground. Startup on this move is invincible and it costs 30 meter to perform. As long as the last hit connects, you will drain 50 meter from your opponent.

j.236X

Version Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv j.236A 600 High R*, A 22 27 21 17 Alter rushes towards the ground with an overhead attack. j.236B 850 High, Low R*, A 22 67 21 -18 Alter rushes towards the ground with an overhead attack followed by a low shockwave. j.236C 300, 850 High, Low R*, A 18 89 21 -18 Alter hits the opponent higher in the air before performing the B version of this attack.

214X

Version Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 214A 758 All R, A 15 55 38 1 214B 894 All R, A 20 61 29 -10 214C 1327 All R, A 20 66 23 -16 Alter rushes towards her opponent sword-first. The aura around her protects her from any projectile (except supers) The A version travels the shortest distance. The B version can be used for crossing up your opponent if she is close enough The C version performs a cinematic on hit that knocks the opponent very far away and causes hard knockdown.

421X	Version Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 421A 600 All R, A 14 61 42 -4 Alter performs a cinematic attack on hit that causes hard knockdown. 421B 800 None R, A 15 61 - - Alter performs an anti-air grab that causes a hard knockdown. 421C 1200 None A 30 62 - - Alter performs a far reaching command grab. This can start a combo.

Supers (WIP)

236236A	Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 1600~2500 All - 9 + 12 61 - -25 Alter shoots a beam of dark energy at her opponent. You can press A at the end of the cutscene, just before the beam comes out, to aim diagonally upward The beam deals less damage if the distance is too far This costs 100 meter.

236236B

Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 1000 All - 10 + 4 55 - - Alter charges a powerful sword strike that emanates dark energy. Its range is close to full screen. This costs 100 meter. It does not scale, it always does 1000 damage on hit. This can be followed up by up 2 followup super attacks with the same input that each cost 100 meter and deal 1000 damage and do not scale.

236236C (Grail Super)

Damage Guard Cancel Startup Total Length Blockstun Block Adv 4000 All - 9 + 7 61 - -51 Alter summons dark tentacles to assault her opponent before finishing them off with a powerful sword slash. This attack always does 4000 damage regardless of scaling. It can only be performed after filling the holy grail and activating with 300 meter. Requires to be close to opponent to connect hit. This reduces your meter to 0.

Combos (WIP)

Normal chain order: (between '>'s in the normal chain order are in either order)

5A > 2A > 5B, 2B > 6B > 5C, 2C > 6C

(note: while 2C can cancel into 5C it WILL drop the combo bc of 2C's knockdown)

"normals" shall refer to: 5A 2A 5B 2B 6B 5C (you can and generally should if possible omit the A normals to reduce damage scaling)

Basic combo structure: normals > (623A > tk 236A)x2 > extension/ender

(from here on, this portion will be known as "basic route") (with Alter's basic route, you can on the 2nd 623A tk 236A loop, do (623A > jump > jB j236A) instead)

Modified basic route variations from tk 236A starter: tk 236A > (623A tk 236A)x2 > extension/ender

tk 236A > microdash > 5B 2B 6B 5C > (623A tk 236A)x2

harder version, more damage tk 236A > jump forward > jC > 6B 2B 6B 5C > (623A tk 236A)x2 > extension/ender

For throw combos: omit the normals and the first 623A > tk 236A loop.

Comboing off of 6C starter: you need to treat the 6C as if it's the 623A from the 2nd loop, and do jB j236A. you can then do the enders from there as normal.

Comboing off of 2C starter: you need to go straight to the ender, and start the ender with its 623A. meter damage ender needs wall, and if the ender does not have a 623A, you cannot do that ender.

Extensions and Enders:

Simple meter damage ender (50 meter damage) > 623A > tk 236C > 623C

Harder meter damage ender (100 meter damage) > 236C > 623C > 623C (optionally do 236C > 623A 62369C > 623C, it helps for extending it further)

In any combo where you go for a 623C based extension or ender, you can sneak in before the 623C:

236C > (623A 2369C)xN where N is 3 or less, depending on how close you are to the wall, gravity etc. Usually N is 1 or 2.

HKD enders (choose 421B or 214C based on stage position, depending on how close you are to the wall, if close: 214C, if far, 421B)

easy meterless hard-knockdown ender: > 421B/214C

slightly harder meterless Hard-knockdown ender > 623A > tk236C > 623A 42147A/2147C

Meter damage extension (200 meter damage, needs to reach wall) > 236C > 623A 62369C > 623C > rc > 236C > 623A 62369C > 623C

METER DUMP/ACTIVATE/UNSCALE ENDERS

(airborne after a 623C, need near wall)

(623C) > act (midair) > j236B/C > land 236236B > 236B 236236A

(623C) > act (midair) > j236B/C > land 236236B~236236B(~236236B) > 214C

midscreen unscale (623C) > act (midair) > j236B/C > land rc > 236B 236236A

(no 623C, needs wall)

(unscale) basic route > (236C) > 623A tk 236C > activate > 236C 236236B(~236236B) > 236B 236236A

(hkd) basic route > (opt 236C) > 623A tk 236C > activate > 236C 236236B~236236B(~236236B) > 214C

midscreen unscale basic route > (opt 236C) > 623A tk 236C > activate > 236B 236236A

Grail combos

(easier, will not touch of death off of 5A, will off of tk 236A starter if you omit the normals and go straight to the 623A tk 236A loop)

basic route > 623A tk 236C > act > 236C 236236B > 236C 236236B > 236C 236236C

(harder, will do 9.9k-10k off of 5A) basic route > 236C > 623A tk 236C > act > 236C > 623A tk 236C > 236236B > 236C 236236B > 236C 236236C
