Moves

Normals

LP “Light Punch”

• Crouch : one of his fastest normals ; safe on block ; can chain
• Close : also one of his fastest normals ; very safe on block ; can chain ; special cancelable
• Far : better hop stopper ; safe on block
• Jump : nothing special

LK “Light Kick”

• Crouch : safe on block ; good for blockstrings and as combo starter (can chain)
• Close : safe on block ; special cancelable but not chainable and slowest than cl. A
• Far : hits low,  special cancelable, can be used as poke
• Jump : excellent range => use it as air to air move

HP “Heavy Punch”

• Crouch : good anti air which comes out really quickly, covers space above Rock
• Close : quite quick but slightly slowest than cl. A and unsafe => good combo starter, can be comboed into from a jump-in
• Far : good range but very unsafe => might whiff punish
• Jump : good range, comes out slower than j. D so can hit later

HK “Heavy Kick”

• Crouch : cancelable on whiff or hit
• Close : special cancelable but slow, not really useful
• Far : slow move but can be used as anti air against regular jumps : covers space in front of Rock
• Jump : best jump-in with a wide hitbox

HPHK

• Stand: nothing special
• Air: correct range
