Celica A. Mercury

Health: 10,000

Combo Rate: ??%

Jump Startup: ??

Backdash Time: ??

Backdash Invincibility: ??

Movement Options

1 Double Jump/Airdash, Run

Drive: Minerva

By pressing D, Celica can combo attack with her robot partner, Minerva, into a starter, an attack, and finisher. Celica's drive sees heavy use in combos. During Drive attacks, Celica can't block or move normally; consequently, when hit-confirming, knowing whether or not it's safe to confirm into a Drive string is crucial to playing Celica well.

Overdrive: Rege Light

During Overdrive, Celica's HP is passively restored (this effect increases the longer she remains completely untouched), while her Drive attacks become distortion cancellable. During Overdrive, Armure Sorbet restores more HP, Sabre Anglaise lasts longer and deals more hits, and Casque Voulete does more damage

 Celica A. Mercury

Pros

Cons

• Simple tools, combos, and gameplan. Very beginner-friendly character.
• Able to heal herself during Overdrive and with Amure Sorbet, partially negating damage taken during rounds.
• Reversal super is safe even on block.
• Good tick-throw game with strong reward.
• Multi-hitting normals make her pressure difficult to disrespect by jumping out, Fuzzy Jumping, etc.

• Awkward hurtboxes on many normals, allowing opponents to easily CH Celica.
• Lower than average HP.
• Requires either specific starters, meter, or the corner for more damaging combos.
• Standing Overheads need meter to be confirmed midscreen.
• While she has a variety of tools, she tends to be a jack of all trades, master of none.

6A

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Attribute	Invul
300, 400	R	H, L	24	-	-	-9	-	-

At 24 frames start-up, -9 on block, no meterless cancel options, and a conversion only in the corner, 6A is not a great overhead. However, depending on the distance from your opponent, the first overhead hit can whiff, allowing the low to hit when the overhead otherwise would. With meter, 6A(1) > RC > into either j.B or IAD > j.B represents a good overhead starter for a true 50/50 mixup that's easy to confirm and leads to good damage.

6B

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Attribute	Invul
480	SDrOJR	HL	12	-	-	-4	-	H

Celica's anti-air. With very early head invulnerability, a good hitbox (moreso horizontal than vertical), and a plethora of cancel options, 6B is one of Celica's better tools.

6C

• Higher damage combos on Counter Hit.
• Decent jump-in due to multi-hit.

Drive Moves

5D

• 
• 
• 

Version	Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Attribute	Invul
5D	550	DrR	HL	10	-	-	-21	-	-
5DD	-	DrR	HL	-	-	-	-19	-	-
5DDD	2000	R	HL	-	-	-	-19	-	-

• 5D is fastest Drive attack, but deals less damage and has shorter reach than the other Drive starters. Fatal counters.
• 5DD deals the most damage of the secondary Drive attacks, but generally causes a side switch so 6DD is preferred for corner carry unless used from the corner.
• 5DDD is the highest damage Drive ender that knocks the opponent in the air.

2D

• 
• 
• 

Version	Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Attribute	Invul
2D	600	DrR	L	19	-	-	-20	-	-
2DD	750	DrR	L	-	-	-	-17	-	-
2DDD	1100	R	H	-	-	-	-9	-	-

• 2D hits low and deals a little more damage than 5D. Preferred over 5D because of range.
• 2DD also hits low but rarely sees use in combos and the opponent will probably already be blocking low if they guarded the first Drive hit.
• 2DDD hits high which is useful as a mixup ender for Drive blockstrings but she doesn't have a low ender so the opponent just has to block high to punish you and you shouldn't be using D attacks in blockstrings anyway. Otherwise, sees some use in combos as enders.

6D

6DD	300, 750	DrR	HL, all	-	-	-	-22	-	-
6DDD	1400	R	all	-	-	-	-5	-	-

• 6D is the highest damaging starter and moves Celica forward.
• 6DD is generally preferred over 5DD midscreen for corner carry.
• 6DDD is better for corner carry. Can be switched out with 5D version for damage.

• Leads into DD attacks on landing

It doesn't hit high or combo off of other aerials and you can get better damage off of other jump-ins.

Universal Mechanics

Forward Throw

BC

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Attribute	Invul
1400	SOR	-	-	-	-	-	-	-

• Can follow up with a fully charged Lance Quiche for a solid combo.
• Causes wallbounce midscreen and wall stick in the corner.

Charged Lance Quiche follow up doesn't work on Jin, Noel and Rachel for some reason. 214[C] only hits Jin with the front of the attack and goes completely under Noel and Rachel while they're in the air. Switch 214[C] with 214[B] for follow up which can be combo'd after.

Back Throw
