Overview

Carl is a puppet character focusing on strong setplay and amazing mixup potential. Carl is focused more on quick and short-ranged strikes while Nirvana focuses more on slow, damaging strikes with large reach. Together, they are capable of amazing pressure, looping unblockables and strong okizeme. Carl must track Nirvana's position at all times, as he strongly relies on her for neutral and offense. Without Nirvana, Carl's weaknesses become much more apparent as he has low life and no true reversal outside of his Exceed Accel.

Carl is a difficult character requiring tight execution and good awareness. Thankfully, this comes with a high skill ceiling. Carl rewards players with a strong offensive gameplan and solid neutral.

Drive: Automaton

Carl's Drive revolves around controlling Nirvana, who moves and acts independently of Carl but is controlled at the same time. The main details are:

• Hold the D button to activate Nirvana, release D while not holding any direction to deactivate.
• While active, she can move forward by holding any forward/backward direction (including diagonals). Nirvana is solid to both Carl and his opponent while active
• Nirvana will attack when releasing the D button while either holding a direction or after completing the inputs for one of her special moves. Nirvana will remain active afterwards if you are holding D as the move ends.
• Note that the directional inputs required for moves is based on Carl's current facing, not necessarily Nirvana's. For example: If Carl is facing right and Nirvana is facing left, pressing D, inputting 623 and releasing D will give you Con Brio, not Volante.
• Similarly, opponents always face towards Carl and thus input moves and block attacks based on his location, not Nirvana's, even if Nirvana is attacking from behind them.
• Nirvana has a health bar that gets consumed when she attacks or gets hit while active. While this health regenerates rapidly if she is left inactive for a short period; If Nirvana runs out of health, she will be disabled and regenerate more slowly, only becoming usable once she has fully recovered.
• If Carl gets hit or blocks something, Nirvana is interrupted in most cases and reverts to her inactive state.
• Nirvana cannot Rapid Cancel.

Overdrive: Synchro High Speed

Carl's overdrive grants Nirvana a power up:

• Nirvana recovers faster from her moves and many of her moves gain new properties and hitstop
• Nirvana's moves cost nothing to use.
• Nirvana's walk speed is 50% faster.
• Nirvana's meter recovery speed is also increased by a flat 5Hp/F at all times, and an additional 18Hp/f while disabled. (Meaning she will fully recharge from disabled in under 3 seconds)
• Carl gains access to a new Distortion Drive and the other three are improved significantly.

One of Carl's most important normals for combos and pressure. Has somewhat short reach, but its range has be increased by cancelling into it from a dash.

Jump cancellable on block, which allows him to easily set-up airdash high-low mixups with the doll.

A long poke with a disjointed hitbox. Doesn't hit as high as it looks.

Okay button overall, 5B 5C won't convert on launched opponents. Not too great on block apart from it being able to gatling into 6C and 6B for a predictable, but still working Mixup. Avoid using 5C in blockstrings too much, since no jumpcancel means that IB DP will ruin your day rather easily.

Standing low, Carl steps forwards before attacking, giving it more range. Being as slow as it is, you need to be careful using it as anything that cancels into it on block leaves a gap for the opponent to reversal out of.

Default State for Nirvana, will revert to this state if D is released or Carl is hit or blocks. This is the primary way you'll regenerate her health; knowing when to give Nirvana a rest but also make good use of her is key to learning Carl. Be aware that if your opponent starts a combo on you, Nirvana will likely get back to full health by the time you recover, so you don't need to be too conservative with spending her health most of the time. While you might notice Nirvana has an animation when she deactivates, this is purely visual and can be interrupted at any time by activating her again.

• While inactive, Nirvana has no collision and cannot be hit.
• Nirvana starts with 5000 health and can lose it when hit or when using any of her moves (See each move for costs).
• After 29F of being inactive, Nirvana will regenerate 10 health per frame. This occurs even if Carl is in hitstun or hitstop.
• At the start of a round, Nirvana spawns 195,000 units behind Carl. (About 2/5ths of the distance to the other player).

Active state. Can be performed and held at any time Carl is not blocking, in any kind of hitstun or tech recovery. Nirvana can walk around by holding D and inputting any sideways direction, walking slightly faster than Carl overall (And much faster when in Overdrive). Notably you can make her walk without forcing Carl to also move by holding 1 or 3 since Carl will simply crouch instead.

Nirvana must fully start up before being able to commence any other action (Including walking). This takes 16F but cannot be interrupted by any hit in this time (And any damage is reduced to 25% of normal). If you are holding D as Nirvana ends an action, she will remain in the active state and can immediately perform something else. Usually you'll use this state for as little as possible to transition directly into an attack, but sometimes it's useful just to activate Nirvana to create a physical barrier to opponents and projectiles since Nirvana's health is much more expendable than Carl's. If possible, try to use Nirvana's startup armour so she takes take less damage.

During this state and all attacks, Nirvana is solid and may be hit and collide with both players, dealing unscaled damage to her health (Projectile damage is halved). Hits on Nirvana are treated like blocked attacks, even though Nirvana may still get interrupted and take damage; Opponents hitting Nirvana only have access to cancels possible on block, they cannot trigger any cinematic attacks or throws, they will never launch or knock down Nirvana etc... Additionally, both players gain heat for Nirvana being hit equal to whatever each player would gain if Carl had blocked the attack instead.

• Nirvana has a walking speed of 8,000 forwards and 7,000 backwards, these values go to 12,000 and 10,500 in overdrive.
• Nirvana must fully start up before being able to commence any other action. This takes 16F.
• To perform Nirvana's moves, input the required directions and release D

Nirvana's dead state when she runs out of health where she cannot be used at all.

This is something you always want to avoid since Carl really needs her to cover his shortcomings. When learning to play Carl, it's useful to get a feel for how many moves you can get away with Nirvana using while keeping a small reserve of health to protect her from getting hit and finished off. If Nirvana is disabled and you really need her back, activating Overdrive will rapidly restore her health, but you're unlikely to have much Overdrive time left to make any other use of it by the time she's operational again.

• Like the inactive state, Nirvana cannot be interacted with by either player.
• Can be caused by using any move Nirvana hasn't got enough health to pay for. In this instance, Nirvana will still perform the move and be disabled immediately afterwards.
• Regenerates at 7hp/frame until fully recovered, then performs a 65F revive animation before going back to the inactive state. The entire process takes about 13 seconds overall.
• Regenerates an additional 18hp/frame during overdrive, reducing the recovery time down to just over 4 seconds, optimally.

Anti air attack that covers a huge space, must be barrier blocked in the air.

• Superior to 6D in corner for combos, due to its much higher damage and basically same effective cost (very low recovery).
• For some reason doesn't stop if Carl gets hit. Makes for a very scary scramble option after you air tech with Nirvana close by because of this (just be careful of her 16F general startup)

• Nirvana runs forward with her arms raised, if she catches your opponent, they will get slammed to the ground for a hard knockdown with no bounce, meaning you need to use the throw animation time to get carl into position quickly.
  • The running animation is not active, when Nirvana gets in range (usually standard throw range) or runs too far, she will perform a grab animation with 8F startup.
  • The grab itself has a throw range of 140,000 units between bounding boxes.
• Can catch airborne opponents.
• Hitgrab, you can block it, unlike previous versions, this move can be comboed into and cannot be throw rejected under any circumstances. However it does not gain 100% minimum damage
• Has all attributes, only moves with full invulnerability or guard point will protect against it.

This is Nirvana's option to deter hitting her, but use it carefully as opponents can both jumpcancel to block or outspace it and on whiff it's a green light for the opponent to close in. Also works well against Haku's trying to parry Nirvana.

Dodge move used to switch sides with your opponent or get out of some situations where you might get separated from Nirvana.

• When used when Nirvana is attacking, can be used to cross up your opponent by forcing them to swap the direction they're blocking in
• The A version Can pass through opponents from frame 1-18 while the B version Can pass through opponents from frame 1-24 but be careful since you still can be throw out of both versions.
• Generous Head and Body invulnerability on the B version, while it isn't projectile invulnerable like the A version, it can still low profile a lot of projectile attacks.
• Carl is in Counterhit state throughout both versions.

Carl sends the pawn out to grab the opponent. Not a throw, or a low, but can't hit airborne opponents. On hit, it pulls opponents towards Carl and launches them into the air, enabling easy followups with both Nirvana and Carl, as appropriate.

Has an enormous amount of hitstop, allowing you to RC and leave the opponent stuck in place for nearly a full second. also delays the opponents burst until they get launched, letting you react to the burst flash and RC if they burst too early. Also forces standing on hit RC, allowing for some very niche Unblockable setups where you can't fit a CT.

This move is in most ways considered a projectile, and will not hit standard projectile invuln/guard point. However, for whatever reason, it is able to hit the special xP invuln most notably found on Nu's Legacy EdgeGuard:

, while also being capable of clashing with strikes (which projectiles normally cannot do), but it will only interact this way if it would be in range to hit the opponent; attempting to cut it from further out or clash using a disjoint will have it behave as if it's not there. In the rare circumstances where it does clash, Carl does not experience the clash hitstop and cannot clash cancel.

Keeps carls current air momentum (allowing for some funky movment with dash or j.2C), then stops Carl's momentum in the air and makes him recoil slightly, common air combo filler. Ends the air combo midscreen unless Nirvana can get her own hit in afterwards.

General purpose damage dealing distortion, but be wary that it can be hit out of after the superflash.

• Projectile does not disappear on hit, leading to favourable trades.
• Technically invulnerable on frame 8 (the frame before superflash), but the invuln runs out during superflash meaning Carl is invulnerable for effectively less than 1 frame. The projectile comes out during superflash on the same frame as the invuln ending; being hit during superflash ends the freeze on the opponent, making the effective startup of the projectile hitbox 40 frames post-flash in this situation.

Nirvana attacks in a long string of attacks. During this time, Nirvana cannot be interrupted by hitting her or hitting Carl.

Not the most damaging Distortion Drive, but it doesn't need to be. Often used on block to basically force Carl's opponent to stay still and block while Carl can freely try a number of mixup options to try and open them up. Be wary that you aren't completely impervious to damage while in this state since a number of moves can both hit Carl and launch the player to safety if timed correctly. Keep in mind that if the opponent gets hit airborne, the combo will likely drop and won't deal a lot of damage.

• Does not cost any of Nirvana's health to use.

Nirvana teleports behind Carl and punches forward. Carl is fully invulnerable until recovery, while Nirvana is fully invulnerable (not guard point, like she normally is) for the entire move after the superflash.

One of the few Overdrive-only distortion drives. Nothing particularly exciting, but it does make for a very highly damaging combo ender and doesn't need you to worry about Nirvana's positioning due to the teleport at the start.

• If an attack connects with Nirvana on frame 1 of this move, she will be frozen by the superflash as well, causing the move to behave strangely: The startup will be extended by the length of the superflash and remaining hitstop of the guarded attack, and cause Carl to instead be stuck in an extended animation (around ~110F) and remain invulnerable until he reaches the usual whiff/on-block frames. If Carl recovers before Nirvana's attack connects, he will remain actionable instead of entering the usual on-hit or on-block animations.
• Cannot be buffered out of Overdrive activation, for some reason; can be buffered just fine on wakeup or out of blockstun.

Damage	GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Throws have their throw range listed instead.	StartupHow many frames the attack needs to go through in order to reach its active frames. The listed startup frame coincides with the move's first active frame.	ActiveHow many frames where there is a hitbox that can hit an opponent. The first active frame occurs on the listed startup frame.	RecoveryHow many frames that the character must go through after an attack's active frames to automatically go back to a neutral stance, or the total duration of the move if it has no hitbox/creates projectiles.	Frame AdvHow many frames the attacker's recovery ends before the defender's blockstun ends if the attack is blocked. A positive value indicates that the attacker recovers first, while a negative value indicates that the defender recovers first. This value usually assumes that the attack's first active frame (of each hit, if multi-hit) is blocked.	AttributeSome attacks are invulnerable to attacks with specific attributes. This notes what attributes each attack possesses. H - Head B - Body F - Foot P - Projectile. Independent projectiles will have their Durability level listed, e.g. a projectile with Durability level 2 will show P2 T - Throw D - Doll attack, such as Carl's or Relius' doll Burst - Burst, which has its own unique attribute	InvulnFrames during which this move is invulnerable to any attacks (attributes). Guard indicates that the move has guard point instead of normal invulnerability, and may have additional properties that affect what it guards against. In most cases, All is shorthand for HBFPT, and does not include Burst.

Nirvana teleports in front of Carl and opens up a portal which contains the hitbox that starts the move. If it fails, Nirvana's gauge is depleted entirely.

• If you are in OD as you use this however, she will regenerate before she actually dies, though still with nearly all of her bar depleted

Starter RatingDetermines the starting value of the hitstun/untech decay timer and subsequent combo length	P1Proration applied to future hits when used as the first hit of a combo	P2Proration applied to future hits when used during any part of a combo	Attack LevelDefault Attack Level Values Level Blockstun Hitstun Ground CH Air CH Lv.0 9 10 (12 in air) +4 +15 Lv.1 11 12 +4 +16 Lv.2 13 14 +5 +16 Lv.3 16 17 +7 +19 Lv.4 18 19 +10 +20 Lv.5 20 21 +14 +22 Note: Not every attack uses default values	On ODRFrame advantage when the opponent uses Overdrive Raid to make this attack whiff. This is based off the assumption that both players input during the hitstop of a prior move, so that this attack and ODR start on the same frame.
