Story

To all appearances, Annie is a young television actress and the host of “Annie Of The Stars,” a TV variety show based on the myths, legends, and folklore of the titular character. The show has been on the air for years, mixing live-action and animation with multiple actresses playing the lead role.

At least… that’s what Annie wants you to believe! In truth, there has only ever been one Annie. Cursed by the Skull Heart to never grow up, Annie has been alive for centuries. Over that time, she’s made it her personal quest to stop the Skull Heart once and for all. To that end, she has acquired numerous skills and items, including her remote parasite, Sagan. Even performing on television works to further her goals as she hopes to educate the world about the dangers of the Skull Heart.

Fiercer than she looks, bravest in the cosmos, she is ANNIE OF THE STARS!

Overview

Annie is a mid and close-range character, with a pretty balanced kit overall, having almost all the tools necessary for various situations and ranges, allowing her to freely vary their use during approach, combos and pressure. Her special feature is Star Power, a super that improves all of Annie's normal attacks, launching stars at different angles, making her a lot more versatile for combos and pressure and extremely dangerous in neutral.

Playstyle

Annie is a high-damage midrange-rushdown character with a well-rounded set of tools for any situation.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Small Hurtbox: Annie has a small hurtbox, allowing her to be quite evasive. She can also use certain moves such as 2LP to shrink her hurtbox even more. High damage potential: She is capable of dealing very high damage very quickly, with the right combos and assists Annie should be able to take out an entire life bar in only 2 or 3 clean hits. Excellent team player: Having several strong options for assists and good supers for DHCs, Annie stands out when it comes to playing in a team. Well rounded: Boasts a large suite of strong normals and specials for anything she needs done. 2LP is a great low profile and anti-air, 5MP is a long ranged and easily confirmable ground poke, she has a very large ground throw, jMP is a very active and disjointed button that gets her in and gets her opponent to block, and she can use H Crescent Cut in neutral as a threatening large wall she can run behind for her approach. She can easily be placed in any team and in any position. Star Power: For a minimum of 2 bars, Annie can go into her incredibly powerful Star Power install safely if she uses H Crescent Cut to cover her beforehand. The oppressive neutral control from the stars her normals shoot out, an air-OK reversal she gains that grants her a combo, and high damage increase she gets in her combos makes this super a force to be reckoned with.

Lackluster Movement: A bit slower than the other airdash characters, so her overheads aren't as fast. Relies more on low/throw to open her opponent up. Linear Approach: Matchups where Annie cannot use H Crescent Cut as easily to approach the opponent are hard for Annie since her approach is fairly straight forward otherwise. Limited Ways to Open Opponent Up: Annie is often reliant on using 2LK/2MK or her ground throw to open her opponents up due to lacking a good IAD overhead. Moderately Weak to Zoning: Annie's best ways to counter zoning are metered, and while she certainly has tools to get through zoning such using jMK to float above projectiles, she generally has a rough time getting in due to the effectiveness of her tools, such as H Crescent Cut being easily destroyed in 1 projectile, being weakened by it.

Move List

During Star Power, the extra hits from the star projectiles alter the frame advantage of her attacks and add extra damage. The values listed without brackets is her normal frame data, while the values inside brackets are during Star Power. The Star Power data assumes that all star projectiles make contact on their first active frame, but will vary in-game depending on how many hit and how late they do. For damage, [x] only lists the damage caused by the star projectiles, separately from the normal attack's damage.

Main combo tool with H DP in the corner. During install, the projectile hit is one of the most active of her star projectiles, travelling upwards before returning down in an arc. Covers space well in neutral, especially when cancelled into Crescent to cover the ground. Up close, the projectile will whiff on most crouching opponents so the block advantage will stay -14.

Annie lunges forward with a punch that can be followed up into a back-fisted smash, useful for combos and for hard callouts. The non-followup version has variable recovery depending on which active frame makes contact, which limits the benefit of hitting late in active frames. Travels a short distance, can be used check the opponent. -2 on block when perfectly spaced with no followup, due to variable recovery. Follow-up pops up opponents for conversions if they're grounded, OTG with microdash 5MP. Travels slightly further than L Knuckle. -4 on block when perfectly spaced with no followup, due to variable recovery. Follow-up knocks opponents fullscreen. Used for corner combos now due to H knuckle nerfs. Travels much further than the previous versions and knocks down on the first hit. Much more unsafe than the other versions. -7 on block when perfectly spaced with no followup, due to variable recovery. Follow-up wall splats the opponent once per combo. Very good corner carry and allows combos afterwards with Meteor Strike, or meterless when in the corner. Assist Properties Follow-up slam applies one extra hit's worth of damage scaling. H version follow-up slam's blockstun reduced to 16 and blockstop reduced to 8.

Annie does up to three divekicks, with the strength determining the angle of her dive. L versions dives at a 30° angle, M at a 45° angle, and H at a 50° angle (rough estimates). Not a rekka and will do the next followup in the chain. After the second dive, only the third dive will happen afterwards. The first and second divekicks are airdash cancellable on hit or block, but not on whiff, unlike Filia's Airball.

By inputting 22KK, Annie can enter a powered up state that changes all her normal attacks to shoot star projectiles at the end, improving their damage, frame advantage and effective range. Requires 2 bars of meter to be stocked to use, even as a DHC, and costs an entire bar of meter up front. In addition, drains 0.0925% meter per frame / 1 bar per 15 real seconds until emptied or a Star Power super is used, and her normals will drain meter instead of building it. Drain is cut in half when in hitstun. Meter will only drain while Annie is on-screen, and if she is tagged out it will only drain if she is called as an assist. If a normal attack is chosen as an assist, it will gain the additional star projectiles if Star Power is active while Annie is tagged out. The additional lockdown and damage from the projectiles greatly improves their use as assists. Annie will exit Star Power automatically upon defeat or once all her meter is spent. Annie loses access to her normal super moves, and instead gains access to Gravity Collapse (22KK) and Photo Bop (214PP), both of which end Star Power manually. Gravity Collapse normally spends 1 bar of meter, but can be used with less than that and spends all available meter. Photo Bop will always spend all remaining meter. If she enters Star Power as part of a DHC, then she will spend one bar of meter for the activation. Star Power activation cannot be DHC'd out of.

Annie stabs the ground and unleashes a cosmic explosion that tracks the opponent's location. Is technically three hits, but the first hit only affects opponents in an OTG state so they do not fall out, and the third hit doesn't happen on block. Has less recovery on successful hit only to allow for easier followups. As a DHC, damage is scaled to 40%, super freeze ends earlier, and the hitstop on the second hit is reduced.

Acts as a counter against mids and high strikes only. Loses to lows and projectiles. Annie receives 3.75x damage instead of 1.5x damage on counterhit. If Annie is thrown, she loses 2 bars. This move freezes the attacker in place, stripping all invul from them (including bursts), similar to Valentine's counter super, but will not strip armor. Technically does 5.333~, but this move will always be a counter hit (Light). Fun fact: The input for this taunt is written on the chalkboard in Class Notes, and was there long before Annie's release.

	Intro pose 1: Hold OR Annie rides in on a star, Sagan in arms Let's make it flashy! This part never gets old.
	Intro pose 2: Hold OR Annie waves to the camera whilst she walks on stage. Stick to the SCRIPT! Who greenlit this?
	Intro pose 3: Hold OR Sagan brings Annie her sword. I'll kick... U-Uranus! For this scene... Oh yeah!
