Revision as of 20:05, 10 October 2021
This can be for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: spelling mistakes, unnecessary information, poor formatting, and other metrics per common sense reasoning.
Consider helping rewrite it.
Normal Moves
5L
- 5L
- 5L slides forward, 4LL doesn't.
- Good frame advantage.
- 4LL has considerable pushback and makes Kefla outspace most characters attempt to mash.
Kefla's premier pressure normal. Overall an excellent jab due to the properties listed above and further complemented by the rest of her moveset.
- 5LL
- On hit, 5LL forces crouching opponent to stand up, holds airborne opponent mostly in place for all hits to connect.
- Don't guard cancel this button.
Multi-hitting, large hitbox kicks that lock the opponent in place on hit for a very easy followup. If blocked, allows Kefla to safely Z-Change into a different character. All-around excellent normal.
- 5LLL always whiffs against crouching characters, even if they're visually standing.
- Recovers in midair.
- Has 5f of landing recovery on block, 7f on whiff or hit.
- Jails into Vanish.
- 5LLL > j.214S is -6 on block.
If you somehow make them block this, the 5f of landing recovery is still in the way of high-low mix.
5M
- Multiple hits, lower than average damage.
- All hits are jump cancellable on hit or block.
- Advances just over halfscreen.
- VERY punishable on whiff, but host to a gargantuan hitbox.
- Don't guard cancel this button.
Does 666 damage raw, so you know this normal is going to be cursed. 5L > 5M or 2L > 5M on reflect will put Kefla right back in their face, forcing them to block or gamble a second reflect.
5H
- Smash hit wall splats, combos into SD.
- Tall hitbox, making it good for corner combos.
- Kefla can perform the rejump combo, it's much like Bardock's but harder.
Kefla was blessed with a 5H that is better than most other characters. Besides the points mentioned above, it also travels far enough forward to catch reflect and cancels into 214X, which hit low (and also beat pre-emptive reflect). It should be mentioned again that this move is great for corner combos, as 2M > delay 5M > 5H is very consistent and highly damaging compared to other characters. Midscreen, this move also combos into 236H which will boost M starter combos by easily 500 damage.
5S
- Hold or mash S to shoot all 6 Ki Blasts.
- One of the fastest Ki Blasts in the game at 11 frames.
Kefla is blessed with excellent grounded Ki Blasts. Besides being some of the fastest in the game, she can also fire off 6 in a row. Generally you'll only be using one or two, but she can win fireball clash wars against most other characters with relative ease.
2L
- Short low.
Kefla's fastest low normal. Good frame advantage, so also good for pressure. Kefla really likes lockdown assists to get mixups and this move is exactly why. Run her with Kid Buu A and make them guess.
2M
- Rather short, but the fastest 2M in the game.
- Can be up to -2 if spaced.
Kefla's other -5 medium normal, the former being 5LL. Excellent to reset pressure with, and staggering 2M into 2M isn't a bad idea either because it will start to hit meaty.
2H
- Smash hit combos into SD.
- Puts her airborne. If cancelled early, stays grounded.
Can oddly be used in pressure thanks to ground cancels. Very easy to make safe for this reason as well, and it's easy to catch people off-guard with 214L or 214M.
6M
- DBFZ Kefla 6M.png
B O N K
- Universal overhead.
Faster than 6H by 3 frames, although unlike 6H you can't combo off of it without assists.
6H
Double Hammer
- Extendable overhead thanks to its gatling options and high hitstun.
- Versatile combo filler after assists, 6H > 5H > 214M does a ton of damage.
- Scales poorly.
The mixup tool. Midscreen you're going to want to cancel this into 2H and hitconfirm SD or 214L from there. You could also go for her j.H>5L routes which lead to lots of damage even scaled but those are incredibly difficult midscreen. In the corner you should route immediately into 214M for max damage.
j.L
- A high jab with some range.
- Very easy to snipe superdashes with.
Excellent as an air to air button, with the bonus of being easy to confirm.
j.M
- Very active with good range.
- Basically Bardock's j.M.
- Very low knockback, some basic combos don't work as a result.
Mostly combo filler and a useful way to drag your opponent back to the ground. Being a two-hit air medium, its too committal to throw out as an air-to-air. Pretty good as a crossup and faster than average to compensate.
j.H
- 5LLLLLLL Smash hit can wall bounce.
- j.H Smash hit causes SKD.
This button is BIG. Sets up j.H > 5L links in the corner, but no one does those unless your name is Kalopsia. Most mere mortals like us just use it as a big jump-in.
j.S
- Hold or mash S to shoot all 4 Ki blasts.
- Stops all air momentum.
Fires at a great angle to stop grounded approaches, and can potentially counterpoke Z Broly's upwards Ki Blasts if you're above him. It's also really useful in corner combos to increase your damage just a little more before 236S.
j.2H
- Push Kefla forward, keeps some momentum.
Combo filler, plain and simple. Kefla's best meterless use of Smash midscreen but not much else.
Special Moves
Super Cannonball
236L/M/H
- All Versions
- Beam property projectile.
- Jails into Vanish.
- 236L
- Throws a projectile forward.
Treat it like a beam, because that's exactly what it is. You can also use it like a frametrap, but 214M is generally better suited for the purpose.
- 236M
- Throws a projectile angled upward.
- Cancel into SD
Too slow to be used on reaction to a jump, but 236M > Assist can get you in if the projectile is blocked. Anything that prevents opponents from jumping is a good thing for Kefla.
- 236H
- Throws 2 projectiles forward.
- +4 on block, meaning the opponent can't backdash out of 5L.
- Very, very punishable on reflect.
- The second hit cancels into SD
Part of what makes Kefla's damage so high as it also combos out of Smash 5H. It's a bit slow to be a consistent pressure tool, but being able to make yourself +4 for half a bar is still pretty good.
Ain't nobody that can stop me!
214L/M/H
- 214L
- Travels forward about half screen.
Basic blockstring ender. Decent as a roundstart but somewhat slow.
- 214M
- Travels 75% of the screen.
- Smash hit wall splats, has enough frame adv to link into 5H in the corner.
Corner combo starter. Also makes for a decent autotimed frame trap in the corner.
- 214H
- Travels 80% of the screen and can go fullscreen if you buffer a microdash before doing it.
- Smash hit wall splats really high up, forces a soft knockdown.
Absolutely terrifying. Extremely fast, low hitting lariat that confirms into combos no matter where it hits. A staple of Kefla's ground game.
Gigantic Breaker
236S (Air OK)
- All Versions
- Kefla stands still to charge her attack, then dashes forward 80% of the screen and throw a beam projectile.
- Smash on the dash. Smash hit causes SKD.
- Projectile guard point from frame 4 to when she throws her projectile.
- Holding S will extend the first part, but lose the dash.
- Projectile jails into Vanish, but there's a gap between charge > dash and charge > projectile.
- 236S
- Smash version can combo into 236H+S.
Mostly useful for assisted corner combos, as Kefla can't combo into it solo without losing a ton of potential damage. Will almost always combo out of 6H.
- j.236S
- Primary force Slide Knockdown ender.
j.LL(2) > j.236S is Kefla's anywhere sliding knockdown. Can combo into any Super afterward beside Gigantic Ray.
Time to test this power out!
214S (Air OK)
- 214S
- Dashes forward, tracks horizontally and always sides switches.
- Has a minimum distance she has to travel. At close range, the dash will leave her slightly away from the opponent, at far range she'll stay right behind them.
- Fully invincible from frame 4.
Allows her to sneak past beams, or other things that may be annoying for her to deal with. However it is punishable so it should only be used as an escape tool or to punish a high commitment option from your opponent.
j.214S
- Dashes diagonally downward, can also steal the corner like the grounded version.
- Fully invincible from frame 4.
Useful to get back to the ground quickly, but overall less versitile than it's grounded counterpart.
Z Assists
Assist A
Super Cannonball
- Stands still and does 236L.
A great assist. It's fast, has almost a second of hitstun, isn't too bad on block, and has beam properties allowing it to smack superdash and Ki Blasts. Good for neutral and combos, although her B assist has it beat in the blockstun department.
Assist B
Mighty Kick
- Slides forward and does 5LL.
- On ground hit, the opponent is kept grounded. On air hit, they are sent away slightly.
Incredibly good blockstun, but slow with not that much range. It's hard to use in neutral as a result, and even using it in combos can be a bit tricky. Still, it's very good for jailing opponents and keeping them guessing due to it's high blockstun, and it's reward on hit isn't awful either.
Assist C
Gigantic Breaker
- Slides forward and does 236S.
- There's a gap between charge > projectile.
- On hit, teleports behind the opponent and knocks them down into a ground bounce SKD.
Super Moves
Ultra Cannonball
236L+M (Air OK)
- Shoots 6 projectiles forward.
- Air version tracks the opponent vertically.
- Minimum Damage: 139*6 (834)
Can be hard to get all the hits off, so it's hard to get the best damage out of this since the opponent may fall out a bit early be hit by only one set of the projectiles. All of the projectiles will hit on an opponent in a sliding knockdown, but anything else runs the risk of losing hits.
Gigantic Ray
236H+S
- Hellzone Grenade-style Super: slow startup, very plus on hit or block, no post-Super scaling, low minimum damage, disappears on DHC, cannot be SD'd through, cannot GC Reflect or SD.
- +50 on block.
- Can be combo'd from essentially every ground Smash: 5H, 2H, 214H, 236S, and also 236H.
- Will true blockstring from 5H with an assist with 24 or more frames of blockstun.
On hit, allows Kefla to get some decent damage since it can be followed up with her air super, or even her level 3. Not as good as Hellzone Grenade because it has slightly more recovery, making it vulnerable to being Guard Cancelled during a blockstring. Using it after a knockdown has no such issue as the only option she has to fight is reflect.
Gigantic Chaser
j.236H+S
- Kefla's DHC Super.
- Tracks the opponent anywhere on screen, then dives straight down.
- Launches, the opponent can tech before they touch the ground.
- Minimum Damage: 765.
Great DHC super as it will combo from any other thanks to its tracking. Kefla can combo into it anytime she can connect a j.H, which is exceptionally useful after pushing a combo with Rayzone. If hitstun decay is too high for that, simply TK'ing the super will also connect.
Gigantic Burst
214L+M or 214H+S
- DBFZ Kefla GiganticBurst3.png
"I... WINNNNNNN!"
- Minimum Damage: 1668.
- Full-screen, frame 1 invincible Super.
- Autocorrects on hit.
- Value in [ ] is when the opponent is in any hitstun.
- +44 on hit.
Being full-screen, punishes the opponent for almost anything they do, even if they vanish. Has somewhat slower startup than other level 3s do.
Distance and overall okizeme she gets from this allows for a dash jump safejump (669 > j.[4]H).
