Alice
TEAM Women 

General

Big thanks to: DiamondDust132 for motivating me to give Alice another look with their tutorial video!  Lots of info taken from there!

Summary:  Simple character with simple play and fun as hell.

Best Position: Mid or Anchor

Best Tools:

  • crouch B

 

Normals

LP “Light Punch”

  • Crouch : combos chains and cancels. Plus on block.
  • Stand :
  • Far :  decent anti hop, chains.
  • Hop : good angle, cancels.
  • Jump : same

Notes: you can use the hop LP to break guard, with a cancel into diving tackle.  Hop up +/ forward or back, as she leaves the ground press LP, then immediately input qcb K

LK “Light Kick”

  • Crouch : Great! Chains
  • Stand : 2hit. Cancels. Beware, minus on block!
  • Far : Great poke!
  • Hop : actually has a good hitbox! Cancels
  • Jump : same

Notes

HP “Heavy Punch”

  • Crouch : anti air hitbox! Can stop some crossups. Chains and cancels.
  • Stand : 70 damage.
  • Far : slow pre-emptive anti air, whiffs crouchers, supercancels
  • Hop : cancels
  • Jump : same

Notes

HK “Heavy Kick”

  • Crouch : cancels
  • Stand : Huge pushback but 80 damage (10 more than HP).
  • Far : Good poke.  Fast recovery.  Can stop some hops.  Supercancels
  • Hop : cancels, can crossup
  • Jump : same

HPHK

  • Stand: Huge range, but as she jumps first, can’t be used as fast defense. Cancels on hit, block and whiff. Super cancels on hit/block.
  • Air: like air LK, good for air to air but still decent hitbox for jump ins. Vulnerable as hell to low profiling crouch LK.

Notes: All Alice’s air normals cancel into diving tackle (qcb K)

Strategy

Alice has easy combos and a fast overhead.  Being an easy character, she actually doesn’t have much to really confuse the opponent.

Her wolf combination is a hard knockdown, setting up opponents for a simple overhead or crouching mixup.

  • From cr Bx3 into Wolf Combination, she can get a safe jump with a hop LP

Opponents are going to be very wary of the overhead so you need to apply lots of crouching B pressure.

  • break guard with hop away LP into diving tackle
  • If you can hit confirm into diving tackle, then you’re golden – easier said than done…

Diving tackle can actually crossup and because it causes a juggle….
