Introduction

Playstyle

Noel is a neutral goddess who harasses opponents with her absurd frame data and long-ranged kicks.

Strengths	Weaknesses
Poke Queen: Noel has possibly the best poking normals into the entire game, with her KK string in particular being exceptional. Stanced Up: 4K+G is a unique stance that gives Noel access to simple but exceptionally powerful options while evading lows during its animation. Strong Super: Noel gets a lot of mileage out of her super, which hits hard and is easy to set up yet difficult to avoid.	Combo-exempt: Critically, Noel has no normal hit launchers, and has to settle for whittling down her opponents with short strings until she can find a counterhit. Bad Throw Game: Noel has a limited selection of throws that all deal somewhat subpar damage. Dainty: Noel is easily juggled due to her low weight, and she has the lowest health of any character in the game.
