Story

One of Brain Drain's less-socially-acceptable hobbies is cloning, and often he forces the souls of dead warriors to inhabit these clones. Fukua is the result of a fortunate - or unfortunate - Lab Zero accident: a union of two souls. One, a once-proud warrior known for her brute strength in close combat; the other a silent assassin who specialized in ranged weapons for her kills.

Together as one, Fukua possesses the best of both specialties... but relationships formed under intense circumstances often don't last.

Overview

Fukua plays a space control game with air normals and fireballs, and once she gets a hit her clones enable very unique and powerful setplay.

• Mixups: Fukua is the only character with a 2LK that chains into itself, allowing her to hit confirm and stagger lows easily. Combined with her fast command grab Tender Embrace (236LPLK) and her fast pseudo-divekick normal jHK, Fukua's base closeup pressure game is already solid. But Fukua shines with her Forever a Clone move (214K), which makes clones of Fukua who move forward and attack on the release of the button. The LK version hits low, the MK version is a hit grab which can be canceled into another clone, and the HK version hits overhead. Holding the shadows to release during or after Fukua's other moves will allow you to setup sneaky high/low/left/right mixups from multiple situations that are generally safe. Creatively working the clones into your combos and setups is key to playing Fukua at a high level.

• Midrange strength: While she may not be very mobile, she controls space very well. Her fireball specials can be done in the ground and air, and each strength controls a very different trajectory that can be hard to challenge. She also have some choice air buttons, such as j.LP which is a fantastic air to air and chains into j.HK, allowing for a full follow up combo. To top it off, she possesses a double jump, allowing to get above her opponent and challenge them vertically.

Playstyle

Fukua is a jack of all trades, having both projectiles and command grabs, along with oppressive mix-ups using her shadow clones.
Pros	Cons
Well-Rounded: Fukua has a variety of tools to fit any situation, and can switch gears at a moment's notice. She has everything she needs to play defensively with fireballs, but she also has a solid rushdown game (despite her relatively slow mobility) using clones and command grabs. Shadow Clones: Fukua is able to hold her shadow clone specials and release them at will, which means they can act like pseudo-assists. A held shadow allows her to make her more committal moves safe, set up absurd mix-ups, and even allow for high-damage confirms. Mix-ups: Fukua has some of the most terrifying solo mix-ups in the game. She can easily use held shadows to enforce both left/right and high/low mix-ups, making every reset a veritable blender that can easily loop back into itself. Zoning: Fukua's fireballs are not only fast, but also cover a great variety of angles that make them hard to contest in neutral. Though matchup-dependent, her fireballs can range anywhere from annoying to utterly oppressive. Synergy: Fukua works well with pretty much every character, and she doesn't ask for much from a team either. M Shadow assist allows other characters to set up Fukua's blender themselves, her Dart specials make for pretty good projectile assists, and H Drill is a good lockdown assist. She also has a nice variety of DHCs, with good utility to boot.	Stubby Normals: Fukua has fairly small range on her attacks, just like Filia. Although Fukua does have more options to convert her longer-ranged pokes (like held shadows), it's still a problem she has to face. Health Drain: Held clones will drain Fukua's health bar exponentially the longer she holds them, which means many of her higher-damage combos or confirms will often cost her quite a bit of health. Damage: Fukua's damage output is relatively low overall, and her higher damage combos often come at the cost of resources or health. Some max-damage routes require shadows to be held beforehand, and shadow holding mid-combo can be difficult to execute. Reversals: H Drill is slow, only strike invincible, and needs a DHC to convert from midscreen. BFF has full invincibility, but is extremely slow. Level 3 is strong, but expensive.

• 

  Inevitable Snuggle (214LP+LK)

H Platonic Drillationship (default assist)

Forward traveling lockdown assist. Does NOT have strike invulnerability frames like the point version does, although gains them back if used as an alpha counter. Strong lock down assist, with good chip and good damage in combos. Flexible and probably her best assist in most teams.

M Forever A Clone (default assist)

No longer the monster it used to be, M clone, or M shadow, still holds some good usages. For resource building characters it provides a lot of time to build them. It's also a projectile hitgrab, making it decent in zoning patterns as well as catching a lot of options in neutral. It also can allow the point character to be creative with mixups off of it. Be wary that as it is a hitgrab, it cannot hit the opponents assists, making it weak to counter-calls.

Love Dart (236P)

Projectile assist Fukua's fireballs can be useful assists if you find a need for it and your team can't make H drill or a shadow assist work. L dart is a mini L George, but can be called multiple times allowing for 2 fireballs rolling across the ground at once. H fireball also gets some usage in peacock zoning patterns due to its high arch filling dead zones, as well as its range paired with Fukua's short cool down giving peacock full-screen block strings.

Inevitable Snuggle (214LP+LK)

Armored command grab that has some niche usage and gimmicks, emphasis on "niche" and "gimmicks".

Fantastic button, key to her combos, confirms, pressure and resets. On hit or block, Fukua drags herself down to the ground, allowing for very easy restands on hit. Can be chained backwards into j.HP. Instant j.HK is her prime reversal against throw attempts, and a good option in scramble situations. Either situation often leads to HCH combos.

Fukua throws out a projectile. The LP version bounces on the ground until it leaves the screen, MP version travels straight, and HP version travels in an arc above Fukua. Only 1 projectile can be out at a time. Very key to Fukua's zoning and neutral. Fukua's does not gain meter from Love dart until the projectile returns to her and the meter gain is based on the distance between her and the projectile (the further she is the more meter she gets).

Fukua sends out a clone to attack the opponent. This move is core to Fukua's identity as a character, having some usages in neutral but really unlocking her reset and combo potential and flexibility. Clones can be delayed by up to 500f by holding the kick button, but doing so slowly drains her health (5.5% of her total health if held for the entire 500f) and she can not die while doing this. Fukua can regain this lost health by taunting, hitting with Inevitable Snuggle, and Twice Shy, recovering 20%/33%/55% respectively. The health recovery is also scaled by the current damage scaling in the combo. Healing in this way will reset the reserve of health back to zero, and can potentially heal her above her red life, but never more than 55% of self inflicted damage. Healing red health by the normal methods removes 2 points of reserve health for every 1 point of other healing. Clones can be removed by strike attacks but not projectiles, similar to Parasoul's Egret Charge. When used as an assist, the clone cannot be removed by strike attacks. Only 1 clone can be out at a time. Hits low. Breaks armor against assists only. Grabs the opponent with a hitgrab and slams them to the floor. The shadow will wait until it's close to the opponent to attack, fading away without attacking if the opponent is too far. On hit, is cancel-able into L or H shadow if not previously used in the combo. Hits high. The shadow will wait until it's close to the opponent to attack, fading away without attacking if the opponent is too far. Ground bounces on ground hit allowing easy confirms It is important to note that the second and third shadow in a combo, if used to reset and start another combo, will scale the combo greatly. X indicates any additional startup from holding the button.
