Them's Fightin' Herds/Pom/Strategy

Overview

Strategy

Combos

Neutral

Neutral will be most spent trying to push the opponent to corner to set up mix. Pom can poke well with her grounded B and C normals. She also has much better ways to jump in neutral, thanks to her Float and Air Dash giving her lots of mobility. Her air normals are also very good, with j.B serving as a great move on IAD in, and j.C having extremely long range.

All of your dogs can provide some good use in neutral. Digger has a very large hitbox, and can be used to make it safer to approach from the air. Bitey, being your quickest dog, can be used well for certain whiff punishes and for a surprise attack. Pilot will automatically travel towards the opponent, reducing the need to manage where he is. Mama's counter (6D) is a very strong anti-zoning tool, and can be used to make various other approaches safer as well.

Offense

Without a dog out, Pom's block pressure will generally be structured around using 5C > Summon, and rps'ing from there. After a 5C, she can safely summon every dog except for Mama (236C), however she is minus on all summons.

Digger (236A/214A) can be used to stay plus after another summon, to push the opponent out of corner to steal, and to more safely jump mid-pressure.

Bitey (236B) gives extremely good mix, with his 3D being an unreactable low, letting you 50/50 between that and a j.B whenever Pom's airborne. She can also use sheepherd, and then use Bitey's 5D for a tricky left/right.

Generally speaking, Pilot (214B) isn't what Pom wants to have on offense, due to limited utility, however he can give nice high/low mix, although its significantly worst than Bitey's.

Mama (236C) is more useful on defense than offense, however she does still have some utility. Her 9D gives you low risk strike/throw with incredibly high reward, although it is very telegraphed. Her 3D(1) will pull the opponent away from the corner, letting Pom get a tricky crossup j.B or j.C, similarly to Digger.
