Overview

Overview

Although she has limited reach, Linne is a fast character that can cross the screen quickly, especially on the ground. Her Kuuga projectile is a powerful neutral tool from midrange capable of controlling space very well and making the opponent more cautious about their approach or attempting to try and keep her out when they're within range. She also has the unique ability to triple jump for greater control of aerial movement and timing, especially with j.Kuuga's all-around extreme usefulness.

Linne

Linne uses her fast movement and Kuuga's ability to control space in order to close the gap and start applying pressure.

Pros

Cons

Fast movement and normals
Great 5B with large disjointed hitbox that doubles as an anti-air and a launcher
Strong neutral game with the use of air Kuuga
Only character that can triple jump

Extremely low damage
Offers very weak assists, making her primarily a point
No fullscreen attacks, so she might have a hard time punishing fullscreen supers despite her speed
Jump height is shorter than most, to make up for having more of them

EXS of Rapid Drive: Speed Star

Linne's EXS significantly increase her speed. She has a triple jump and dash cancels on specific moves.

By inputting 66, Linne can dash cancel the following moves:

Smart Combo 1 - 4th move (5AAAA)
Smart Combo 2 - 3rd and 4th move (4AAA and 4AAAA)
Smart Combo 3 - 3rd move (5BBB)
Ground versions of Kuuga

Dash cancels can be canceled into Whirlwind.

5BB	1500	All	13	4	22	-9	B
5BBB	1700	All	21	5	25	-11	B

5B's every bit as massive and disjointed and is now a proper anti air with head invul. It launches upwards making it very useful for combos.

Follow-up from 5B. Only really used for linking into 5BBB or loops.

Knocks down airborne opponents.

5B auto combo ender that can be chained into other normals. Useful for ending combos as it knocks down and can be jump cancelled, leading into a safe jump. Be careful using this in blockstrings however, there's a gap between 5BB and this, letting the enemy get supers and DPs off if they're quick enough.

Linne's trademark move. Excellent projectile for zoning and controlling space. Goes a shorter distance and can be dash cancelled.

Ground B version goes further and can also be dash cancelled, however, dash cancelling B Kuuga on block is unsafe.

Air Kuuga is easily her best move as it is very plus on block and is useful for neutral. Can be followed up at certain heights so it is a strong combo starter. Tiger knee the input for best results! The A version goes at a much shallower angle.

Air B version goes further out with a wider angle and has a significantly higher startup.

Whirlwind - Fuurin

214A

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
				29			5~13 HBP

Linne's classic 6AB dashing roll, which can now be done standalone from neutral. is an attack if any button is hit. it has invincibility and is useful for dodging projectiles or attacks. It's also useful to setup sneaky cross ups with assist.

It is worth noting that all of her dash cancels can go into Whirlwind, even before the full dash and recovery is completed. Useful with Kuuga pressure to set up a sandwich.

Press assist or no combo

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln

Her old, unenhanced Force Function from Under Night. Useful in making it harder to react to a sideswitch, at the cost of requiring assist to combo. Very unsafe.

214[B]	1700	Low	21	4	23	-10	B

Overhead attack. Can be used in combos or blockstrings to setup an assist call.

If B is held the attack transitions into a low instead, which is also her best DP punish starter. Just make sure you have assist on hand in case it's blocked, as it's very punishable.

Unfortunately not + on block in this game. It's very very punishable. Has invincibility and is her primary super ender. The final part of the animation where she swings her sword backwards also has a hitbox, so if you dodge an enemy Linne's usage of this then be careful on how you approach her.
