B/W/H	96/60/92

Introduction

Fenrir is a rushdown character who possesses uniquely strong defense. She can stay on her opponent constantly with barrages of quick attacks, and shut them down just as easily when they return fire with her unique high/mid parry. This combined with her delayed Snowflake projectile lets her get away with extended setplay sequences as the opponent is heavily discouraged from striking back, lest they get Atemi'd for massive damage.

When the opponent does find a hit, Fenrir's weaknesses begin to show, as she has incredibly low health and weight, and can die just as quickly as she can kill. She essentially needs to keep her momentum going at all times, and though it comes at great risk she has an excellent set of tools for the job.

Playstyle

Fenrir is a defensively-oriented setplay character who creates unfavorable situations for the opponent using her Snowflake projectiles.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Busted Atemi: Fenrir's P+K is an incredibly strong defensive option which acts as both a high and mid parry. Unique Offense: Snowflake allows Fenrir to set up tons of useful offensive pressure and unblockables. Great Pokes: Fenrir has an excellent selection of high, mid, and low pokes that can pester the opponent constantly during the match.	Glass Cannon: Fenrir has the second-lowest health in the game, and her incredibly low weight makes her very easy to combo. Weak to Sidestep: Snowflakes can be countered primarily just through good use of sidestepping, and Fenrir's options for catching sidesteps are less than stellar. Terrible Super: Fenrir has maybe the worst super in the game, and it should really just be avoided entirely.

Attacks

214P	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 214P - - - - - - - - Nice and quick red guard break. Too much recovery for launch afterwards, best option is sidestep K or 3PPP if you lack the execution.

Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block K - - - - - - - - Excellent neutral poke. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block KK - - - - - - - - Excellent-er neutral poke, basically always a good idea to press this. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block KK6K - - - - - - - - Less than excellent green guard break. Little application. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block KK2K - - - - - - - - Decent low option, can catch people if you're doing KK6K a bunch for some reason.

66KK6K

Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 66K - - - - - - - - Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 66KK - - - - - - - - Green guard break, fairly good as an approach option. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 66KK6K - - - - - - - - Useful for picking up juggles in various scenarios, though easy to Atemi. Best used after groundbounce.

1KK	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 1K - - - - - - - - Stubby low poke. Completely unseeable but low damage. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 1KK - - - - - - - - Decent option for juggles, but mostly outclassed by 1PP and 2KKK. Use when the opponent starts atemi-ing all your stuff.

3K	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 3K - - - - - - - - Guaranteed after Sidestep K, solid mid poke.

9KK

Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 9K - - - - - - - - Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 9KK - - - - - - - - Weird mixup tool, very gimmicky and interruptible even on hit. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 9KP - - - - - - - - Aerial Snowflake. Same applications as P+K+G, extra useful as it can be used to end juggles and have the opponent wake up into a potential unblockable/launch. Will sometimes whiff OTG against smaller characters. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 9KK~2G - - - - - - - - Nice option for faking the low, can be used to bait for crouch throws, launchers, etc. Still interruptible, so watch out for stray buttons.

Sidestep K	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block Sidestep K - - - - - - - - Puts the opponent into a unique stagger state on hit, which allows links afterwards. The opponent is counted as crouching while in this state, so keep that in mind when attempting to combo. 3K and 2K will work naturally, anything else requires a microdash.

Running K	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block Running K - - - - - - - - Mid option, decent synergy with running P but otherwise unremarkable.

P+K	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block P+K - - - - - - - - Unique parry, stops every parryable high and mid in the game. Has fewer active frames so requires more precise timing. This is an amazing tool that takes a lot of the guessing game out of her defense. Obviously, abuse whenever you can.

6K+G	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 6K+G - - - - - - - - Natural launcher, slow but high reward. Big damage on counterhit.

4K+G	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 4K+G - - - - - - - - Mid spinning knee, good for catching sidesteps and fishing for counterhits but severely lacking in range.

3K+G	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 3K+G - - - - - - - - Big ol sweep. Somewhat low damage but lots of application as an evasive option, neutral poke, and unblockable when combined with Snowflake.

Snowflake P+K+G

Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block P+K+G - - - - - - - - Incredibly vital move, defines Fenrir's offensive game. Fenrir throws two snowflake projectiles into the air which slowly descend on the stage, hitting mid. Useful for a variety of scenarios, can anti-air as well as assist in pressure and creating unblockable setups. Allows 66PK to become a true combo if it is performed immediately afterwards. Worth noting that two snowflakes cannot connect, once one lands the other disappears.

Crouching Attacks

Crouching KKK

Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block Crouching K - - - - - - - - Great low poke and useful OTG Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block Crouching KK - - - - - - - - Fenrir staggers when blocked, making the attack highly unsafe on block. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block Crouching KKK - - - - - - - - Vital combo extender after 6K+G. Easily Atemi-able when used in neutral.

Aerial Attacks

Air 2K	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block Air 2K - - - - - - - - Very long active frames but very low hitstun, will not combo into anything on standing opponents. Can hit OTG.

Throws

P+G	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block P+G - - - - - - - -

3P+G	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 3P+G - - - - - - - - Hilarious animation, can combo out of sidestep K with a microdash but be wary of throw breaks.

6P+G	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 6P+G - - - - - - - - Slightly higher damage than normal throw, stick to this one for most scenarios.

Super Attacks

66P+K+G P+K+G	Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 66P+K+G - - - - - - - - Awfully slow super, not particularly useful. Input Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard Break On Hit On Block 66P+K+G P+K+G - - - - - - - - Significantly faster than the initial shot, but still bad.
