• 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. Bad HHA: Despite the utility granted by the refilling of her Plankton Stocks and the ability to heal, Foo Fighters' HHA is borderline unusable due to its extremely long recovery and insufficient reward.

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.
