Move Set

Standing Normals

5LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Mid 4 - - +1 No - Rapid Fire OK. Has proration. Fast and at advantage; useful for pressuring the opponent.

5SP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Mid 11 - - -10 No - A straight punch that moves forward. Can follow up from a max-distance 5LK. You cannot follow this move with 5SK if it hits at max distance.

5LK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Mid 8 - - -5 No - A standing high kick. It's not very reliable as an anti-air. It reaches incredibly far, making it good in footsies.

5SK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Mid 11 - - -11↑ No - Can go over lows and reaches very far. Not great in neutral due to its long animation. It hits high enough that it may whiff when used to go over certain lows.

Crouching Normals

2LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Mid 5 - - 0 No - Rapid Fire OK. Has proration. Basically inferior to 5LP in every way.

2SP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Mid 9 - - -9↑ No - Not as good of an anti-air as you might expect. Launches the opponent on hit, but they can recover. Counter-hits grant an unrecoverable launch.

2LK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Low 6 - - -2 No ✓ Rapid Fire OK. Has proration. Slower than average start-up. Cancelling into 5LP will let you keep advantage.

2SK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - Low 9 - - -9↑ No ✓ Fairly short range.

Jumping Normals

j.LP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - High - - - - No - Useful as an air-to-air

j.SP	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - High - - - - No - Hits higher than you might expect. Not useful for jump-ins.

j.LK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - High - - - - No - Reaches surprisingly high, but not as much as j.LP. Reaches pretty far forward, too.

j.SK	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - High - - - - No - While nothing amazing, it's Beatrice's best option for jump-ins. Use it alongside high aerial dodge and air Airy Disc.

Special Moves

Rise Ark 236P 236LP 236LP 236SP 236SP

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 236LP - Mid 16 - - -7 - ✓ Creates a projectile that travels along the ground. The light version reaches upwards, about as much as Beatrice is tall. Punishable if done close to the opponent. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 236SP - Mid 16 - - -7 - ✓ The heavy version reaches forward instead of upward.

Airy Disk 214K (air ok)

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 214LK - High 20 - - Disadvantage - - An easily reactable overhead that is punishable on block. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 214SK - High 22 - - Disadvantage - - This one is just as bad as the light one. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge j.214LK - High 15 - - Advantage - - The air versions, however, rock. The light version goes straight down. Can easily combo into OA or Dust Tail on hit. Has enough advantage that it's safe even after being IB'd. A great spacing tool when used low to the ground. Feel free to throw it out after air recovery to keep the opponent off you, too. If it hits the opponent in the air, they can QR before the second hit lands. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge j.214SK - High 15 - - Advantage - - The heavy version moves Beatrice a bit forward.

Dust Tail 623P

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge LP - Mid 6 - - -13↑ ✓ ✓ A shoryuken-type move. Cannot be recovered from. Launches higher on counter-hit. Capable of cancelling out projectiles, but can't hit the opponent anymore if it does. Having an unrecoverable shoryuken is HUGE in this game, because quick recovery usually makes them punishable on hit. This means Beatrice doesn't need to have Offense gauge on deck to safely use this move. Can be cancelled into Offensive Arts. Doing a delayed OA cancel can catch people trying to punish, turning the move into a mix-up on block. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge SP - Mid 11 - - -13↑ ✓ ✓ Yep, it's the heavy version

Blast Arc 63214P 63214LP 63214LP

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 63214LP - Mid 32 - - +1 - ✓ The more powerful, but slower cousin of Rise Arc. Does 4 hits. Like all projectiles, it gains more advantage the further you are from the opponent. Great after a knockdown or after bullying an opponent into blocking. Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge 63214SP - Mid 32 - - +1 - ✓ Move Description

Limitless 41236K Zoom Zoom

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv I-Blow OK Punishes G.Dodge - - - - - - - - A unique counter move. Beatrice moves forward, and automatically performs an invincible dodge when hit by an attack. The LK version has the dodge move forwards, the SK has it move backwards. You can cancel the move early by pressing the kick button you used to start it. The start up is fairly slow; do not use it as a reversal! It can also pass through opponents, making it useful against characters that like to move in alongside their projectile, like Aran. Can be useful to help escape the corner. Can also be used to schmoove during time slow combos.
