• Move like F.F.: At the cost of a Plankton Stock, Foo Fighters can cancel certain special moves into each other.

Playstyle

Foo Fighters is a Stand character who utilizes evasive maneuvers and special cancels to create relentless pressure.
Pros	Cons
Cheap Combos: Foo Fighters' combos are very self-sufficient and build a lot of meter. Versatile Strategy: Foo Fighters' kit allows for zoner or rushdown vortex playstyles, being able to switch gameplans on the fly depending on the matchup or situation. Strong Defensive Options: Foo Fighters can escape pressure and setups with "Emergency Evade", unique meterless defensive options that can serve as either an attack or an evasive tool. Guard Break: The only character in the game with a special move that can perform an instant Guard Break, which is an integral part to Foo Fighters' gameplan. Movement: Foo Fighters has good movement in general, with decent speed and special moves that let her move around the stage. Mid-Range Control: Foo Fighters is able to control neutral at mid-range thanks to her zoning and the threat of charged shots.	Hard Execution: Optimal combos require tight links and an overall high execution and reaction. They're also inconsistent and sub-optimal variants might be needed against Stand On characters. Unstable Offense: While her normals are all fantastic on their own, none of them can be used to cross-up the opponent, resulting in a slightly less effective pressure game from up-close. Additionally, Foo Fighters lacks special moves that provide a hard knockdown, which can make specific matchups very difficult. Projectile-Based Moveset: Aside from one special move, the rest of Foo Fighters' kit is entirely projectile-based, which can make matchups against characters who negate projectiles particularly difficult. Low Damage: Due to her kit's nature, Foo Fighters doesn't have long combos; the bulk of her damage comes from her GHA, dealing below average damage otherwise.

Move like F.F.

Foo Fighters possesses the ability to chain and combine projectile-based special moves, allowing the player to rapidly string attacks together in quick succession, the only exception being that it's impossible to chain a special move into itself.

The following moves are attached to the "Move like F.F." system:

• F.F. Shot
• I made it.
• I've got this!
• Get away from there! (Forward)
• Get away from there! (Back)

Foo Fighters has 5 Plankton Stocks located above the HH Gauge. When canceling special moves into each other, one Plankton Stock is consumed per cancel performed; this is also visualized by a black effect representing shedding a visible plankton from her body. If "I've overcome my weakness." or "Get Weather Report to make it rain." manage to successfully complete, Plankton Stocks will replenished back to maximum.
