Normal Moves

Standing Normals

5Y

5Y

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - All 5YY, Tag - - Strike, Body Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Fast jab poke with good range. Standard pressure/confirm tool. 5YYX standard launch combo starter, works anywhere on screen. 5YYYYY: Damaging and meterless wallbounce combo starter BUT only can follow up with combo if started far from corner, like midscreen or with back to corner. Can confirm 5Y from max range poke into 5YYYYY. Not great for juggle combos. 5YYX:: Standard launcher string, can be teleport canceleded with 6R on hit or block. Launcher attack will not hit if string started from max range on some characters. Good combo starter on grounded opponents, not great for juggles on already airborne opponents as it can be air teched before the launch hit in a lot of situations. Good for continuing pressure with 6R teleport cancel on block into instant or delayed jump attack. 5YYA:: Can be used to pressure on block, very situational combo use, wouldn't recommend using most of the time. Puts opponent into hard knockdown state. Can cancel into L+A super on hit or block.

5X

5X

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Mid, Overhead (5XA) 5XX, 5XA, Tag - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - A decent situational pressure tool. Can start stagger pressure after 5X is blocked, mixing up between 5XX hold to threaten guard break, 5XA overhead, and 5X2X for a low that launchers for a combo. Not that reliable as a midscreen poke. 5XX: Universal delayable 5XX string. If 2nd X is held to max charge the hit is unblockable. Nothing special, use sparingly and only in certain situations. Not useful for juggle combos. 5XA: Second hit is an overhead. Great corner combo starter. Can convert to full combo with 2X 66Y in corner. Does a lot of guard bar damage on block. Two 5XA's will drain guard bar to 1 hp.

5A

5A

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Mid L+A - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Zoro signature move he uses a lot in combos and to delete neutral. Long range horizontal move that moves him forward. Hits high in the air so works well as an anti air. Has has armor on start up and for most of the animation. When super armor clashes with a move can press 5A again to do another one. Induces hard knockdown state. Can cancel into L plus A super on hit for an OTG combo. Very unsafe on block without tag, so risky but effective in neutral. Cover with assist call to help in neutral if blocked by opponent.

5L+Y

5L+Y	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Overhead, Air Unblockable Tag - - Strike, Body Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Universal overhead. Unblockable vs opponents in the air. Hard knockdown on hit. Only easy to combo off of with assist setup or tag cancel.

Crouching Normals

2Y

2Y	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Mid 2Y, 2YA, 2YX, Tag - - Strike, Foot Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Fast poke with good range but doesn't hit low. Can be chained into itself multiple times, which is good for pressure and hitconfirming combos. 2YX/2YA: same followups at 5YYX/5YYA respectively

2X

2X

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Low Tag Knockdown - Strike, Foot Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Great and unique multi purpose move. Hits low and is a great anti air. On counter hit vs airborne opponent they cannot tech until they hit the ground. Can be dash canceled on hit, which allows him to follow up with 66Y groundbounce j.Y j.X etc. Zoro's only low hitting move.

Jumping Normals

j.Y

j.Y	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Overhead Jump,j.X,j.A, - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - Varies - Great air to air and combo tool. Great hitbox for short quick air normal. Not always great for jumping in because it hits so vertically. Use j.X for jump ins/IAD most of the time, but sometimes j.Y is a preferable jump in due to its fast start up.

j.X

j.X	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Overhead j.A - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - Varies - Amazing button with giant sword hitbox. Throw this button out a lot on offense and defense. Hard knockdown state on airborne opponents, which leads to easy 66X->5A followups. Counter hit gives more time to confirm OTG. Bit slow on startup but otherwise great.

j.A

j.A

Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Mid Tag - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Dive kick, hard knockdown on hit. Harder to combo off of than j.X HKD but doable and adds a lot of damage. Useful for neutral and pressure. Can cross up but not an overhead. Allows Zoro to continue pressure after blocked YX6R with instant or delay j.A. Very unsafe on block at certain heights.

Dashing Normals

66Y

66Y	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - Mid - - - - Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Ground bounces airborne opponents on hit.

Allows another OTG hit after 66X 5A.

Metered Attacks

Reject Attack

5L+X Reject Attack	Damage Guard Cancel Property Cost Attribute - - - - 25% Meter - Startup Active Recovery Overall Frame Adv Invuln - - - - - - Slow startup but huge range hurricane. Possibly good for guard break setups. Very risky without proper assist cover or setup. Recommended to save meter for L+A, tag cancels and 6R over this but still a decent move.
