Standard jab and occasional poke, overall a pretty niche tool in Sol's kit. Useful for frame traps, tick throws, etc.

  • Better than average startup. Can tag a lot of beefier moves during their startup or cooldown.
  • Clutch Anti-air, but lacks the vertical coverage of 5K/2H.
  • Strong burst bait tool due to its overall low recovery time.
  • Whiffs on crouching Millia, Faust, and May. Leads to whiff > throw setups.

Establishes offense. Gatling into it from 2P > 2K, if the opponent has been conditioned to block high in reaction to standing animations.

Privileged 3f normal that does it all: anti-air, abare, punishes, and active enough to catch backdashes on reaction or OS.

  • Works as a frame trap tool after Sol does a safe poke.
  • Preferred normal to OS with Sol's throw.
  • Note: a large chunk of the cast can crouch under the second hit, especially when hit or blocked from farther out.

On air hit, 5K is confirmed from with 2H or a j.P/j.K into a standard air combo > VV for knockdown. On air CH, 5K has enough hitstun to combo to Sidewinder from an IAD j.S or j.D with stricter timing.

On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

Sol's main punish starter for meterless and non-counter hit combos. Versatile gatlings from all of Sol's lower level buttons, useful mid combo as a confirm/filler/stopping point.

  • Recovers quickly enough that 5K(1) > c.S lets you confirm a hit or a burst.
  • Leans forward during startup, letting Sol move past some hitboxes depending on spacing (e.g. Dead Angles)

Can lead to Dustloops, Sidewinders, and tk.Bandit Revolvers. Mid-corner combo against airborne opponents, can be jump canceled into a j.D for a high damage Sidewinder or Dustloop. In the corner, you'll usually start your loops with c.S > 6P.

Extremely fast for its range, f.S is good for gaining initiative round start or establishing offense in neutral.

  • Confirms into 5H or FB Fafnir from max range, gaining positional advantage or some moderate poke damage.
  • Gatling into 2S makes f.S 2S pressure very safe and lets Sol make his way in.
  • For meter, converts at a decent range leads to 5H > Fafnir, can go into Tyrant Rave for some extra damage.

Be careful, Sol extends his hurtbox on the first frame. Due to only being active for one frame, it's easily backdashed, but can be preemptively canceled to 2S to make it safer.

Slower, long ranged poke, punish, and combo tool that leads to big damage on counter hit. Difficult to contest.

  • Combos into Grand Viper up close or from a long-range counter hit, leading to Sidewinder Loops.
  • Confirms into (FB) Fafnir to let Sol get in from midscreen.
  • Can frame trap out of 6P's extended cancel window.

On CH against standing opponents, leads to Instant Air Dash > j.S > stuff > Sidewinder Loop, Confirms into Bandit Bringer against most crouching opponents, though Grand Viper remains the most reliable combo afterward. 5H goes into IAD j.P or j.K against airborne opponents, or after a confirm of xx > 6P > 5H when the 6P is landed somewhat close. Just don't get predictable with airdash pressure.

On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

Decent damage combo starter, but awful range, and slow and easily reactable, despite being one of the fastest 5Ds in the game. Sol's only grounded overhead.

  • Leads to significant damage and a knockdown, especially with an Impossible Dust.
  • Horrid range, very unsafe, and huge CH state window. Keep meter on hand to cancel it.
  • A whopping 2(!) frames faster, on account of being based on AC instead of +R.
  • No DI means you lose access to the nearly unreactable 18 frame version.

Don't get predictable. 5D's range is only slightly farther than Wild throw and it is highly telegraphed.


  • Knocks down face up on CH.
  • In CH state from Frames 1-30.

On-BlockAlso known as Frame AdvantageThe difference between the attacker's recovery and the period that the opponent is in blockstun. This value is based on the first active frame. Invulnerability

Decent range, fairly active, very disjointed, low recovery time, and +3 on block make this an excellent blockstring ender, neutral button, and baiting tool.

  • Strong low reaching poke due to hitbox/hurtbox ratio.
  • Links into P and K normals and c.S on late hits.
  • OS: 5P/2P/2K > 2S is a natural frame trap on block, will combo on hit. Also works if delayed from 5K.

Discourages button pushing when properly spaced. Timing 2S ambiguously on oki especially is very tricky to defend against and can give you information on the opponent's mindset.

High reaching upwards swing which gives you a day and a half to confirm on counter hit. Sol's main relaunch tool.

  • Beats many moves and scores CH due to the strong hitbox. Trades in Sol's favor most of the time. Burst safe if followed with BB or jump cancelled on CH.
  • Fast enough to combo off of level 1 buttons.
  • Special cancel window extends into its recovery frames.
  • Can be OS'd with 5P/2P to bait bursts mid combo.

Works as a slower but stronger Anti Air than 5K, and late frame trap tool. Can be a nightmarish meaty if they feel like rolling the dice.

On counter hit, a Bandit Bringer will convert, and will whiff and recover if they burst. 2H is strong, but don't whiff it.

Amazing: mid-ranged, low profile sweep which can go under 80% of moves in the game, even during pressure. Your best friend.

  • Can go under bursts, Stun Edges, Johnny ranged pokes, other sweeps, etc. Will even score counter hits against some jump-ins.
  • Special cancel window extends into its recovery frames.
  • Free combo on counter hit.
  • Near-corner conversions into FB Fafnir when too far for regular meterless juggles to work.
  • Can combo to Clean Hit Grand Viper on normal hit against Jam, Bridget, Millia, and Kliff.
    • Further applies to May and Baiken near the corner, or if 3 or more hits precedes the 2D.

Leads into Bandit Revolver RC for a conversion. CH leads to Gun-Flame > FRC, mashless Grand Viper, or Gun-Flame > FB Fafnir to Sidewinder Loop. Also does a strong, unburstable kill combo by going straight into Tyrant Rave ver.Beta.


  • Knocks down face down.

Prime corner combo starter and counter hit fishing button, 6P beats out many poke attempts and confirms from nearly anywhere on counterhit.

  • Mid level hitting gut punch which beats many standing buttons. Staggers on hit. Major frame trap button with many gatling options.
  • Can be cancelled at any point during its recovery.
  • Clutch Anti Air.

Vital in frame traps but loses to many lows and low profile moves, pay attention to your spacing and timing. Despite this, with the rewards, you should expect to be using this move a lot.


  • Staggers opponent on hit. (max 47F)
  • Knocks down face up on air hit, face down after wallbounce.
  • Frames 1-8 [1-4], Frames 14-21 [8-11] upper body invincibility.
  • Frames 9-13 [5-7] above the knees invincibility.
  • Wall bounces on air hit (untechable for 30 frames).

Occasional ranged button, High-risk high-reward (on CH) Anti-Air. Not particularly strong by itself. EX Sol's staggers on hit.

  • Decent stun and damage, but ends your combo without meter.
  • Cancel window lasts until the end of recovery for late frame traps.
  • Pushes Sol's hurtbox pretty far forward, CH state for the whole move.
  • Has a difficult confirm into Grand Viper if it counters on the first hit.

6H will get counter hit very easily if used poorly. It is more difficult to contest in the air though, so air CH confirms lead to Bandit Bringer. Be very cautious about using this move.


  • 1st and 2nd hits stagger opponent on hit (max 35F).
  • Dizzy modifier x1.5.
  • In CH state for entire duration.

Fast, general use air normal with a very active hitbox, and which shrinks Sol's hurtbox, letting it beat a lot of moves. One of Sol's best.

  • Good for airdash pressure due to its gatling options. Staggered self cancels can be used to bait bursts.
  • Can let Sol sneak past some Anti Airs due to the hurtbox change.
  • Easy, if scaled, confirms off of things like Gunflame.
  • Leads to Burst safe, character specific Sidewinder Setups.

The Hurtbox shrinkage can let you do lower airdash crossup setups. Vital in Sol's difficult HJIAD combos. Deceptively excellent.

0 Recovery frames. Weird hurtbox. Lingers for forever. Pseudo-God Normal.

  • The shrunken hurtbox can make this outright impossible to Anti-Air with some moves.
  • Links into any jumping normal on hit.
  • Hit meaty and high enough off the ground, Sol can airdash immediately afterwards for an airdash mixup.

Very difficult to contest in any regular fashion. Useful in Sidewinder conversions. The recovery makes opponents tear out their hair. One of Sol's most used air options.


  • Untechable on air hit for 17F (doesn't apply to DI version).

Large, damaging move with abnormally high untechable time that loops into itself, for the titular DUSTLOOP.

  • Launches on hit, useful in airdash and corner combos.
  • Wallbounces in the corner on normal AND counter hit. About as powerful as it sounds.
  • Fullscreen conversions on counter hit due to extended untechable time.
  • Can lead to a fuzzy guard setup (too or from), can be the fuzzy guard attack against Potemkin, Eddie, Johnny, Anji, and Justice.

Partially responsible for Sol's obscene damage output. Works with 5 in a row in one combo with a 3-hit prior starter. Teyah them to death.


    • Wall bounces on normal hit (untechable for 27F(?)).
  • Additional 5F landing recovery.
  • 90% proration.

Aerial Normal H

Godly DP with a massive hitbox. No longer the greatest, as the followup kick has been replaced with Sidewinder. This makes a knockdown usually impossible.

Ground S: Lower to the ground version.

  • Can be canceled into the Sidewinder on whiff to not even slightly change Sol's recovery timing. Converts to knockdown about 0% of the time.
  • Leads to a full conversion if the first hit is RC'd, or if the 2nd part counter hits.
  • Tied for the slowest version of the move at 7F, but with some of the most invulnerability.
  • Note - all grounded versions: must be jump installed in order to airdash or double jump on RC.

Breaks through even the smallest gaps.


Air S: Easy air combo ender.

  • Also works as an air reversal, but is air blockable without FD, and is only strike invuln.
  • Completely cuts Sol's air momentum when you RC the first hit, leading to airdash mixups or continued strings on block.
    • This RC will make Sol fall straight down. You can TK this move and RC it immediately, and with some very tight timing, you can tag an opponent with a quick overhead before you hit the ground...
  • Can convert to longer combos if the first hit is RC'd.

Ground H: Massive DP version. Big Anti-Air callout, unrivaled in combined speed and vertical reach. Eats up the sky.

  • Slightly faster and more damage than the S version.
  • Similarly converts if the 1st hit is RC'd or the 2nd part counter hits.
  • Can be difficult to punish if done with running momentum: some characters lack the means to reach Sol without meter.
  • On some characters, landing the followup SW on a standing opponent will give a Clean Hit(nice, but still no replacement for the kick).

Air H: Situational air knockdown tool with slight more damage. Higher reaching aerial VV, but not as high as the grounded version.

  • Also air blockable without FD.
  • Similarly to j.SVV, cuts air momentum when RC'd on the first hit.

Will work if they don't FD while air poking in blockstrings, but otherwise you should use with meter if you want to convert.

Fast, instant low profile travel attack. The ultimate callout, likeliest move in the game to blow out your speakers.

  • Extremely low profile on frame 1: goes under more than 75% of moves in the game.
  • Leads into ridiculous damage on Clean Hit from anywhere on stage.
  • Number of hits changes depending on how many directions/buttons are pressed during the move.
  • Horribly unsafe on block/whiff. Cannot be RC'd if the current hit did not make contact.
  • Can go under bursts, which can score a powerful reset in the corner, but can be suicide midscreen.
  • To use multiple hits, alternate between forward and back while mashing buttons
  • Alternatively, you could alternate between down back and down forward, or up back and up forward
  • For a detailed look at this move, see this tutorial video

Strong tool which requires finesse and recognition to use properly. Can go under things mid-pressure and lead to very damaging conversions. Has some of its best conversions near the corner, and can work midscreen with little/no mashing based on the opponent's character. Don't miss.

An overhead with a running start, leading to a knockdown midscreen and full meterless conversions in the corner. This move (similar to its progenitor Greed Sever) is an overhead that crushes lows, but doesn't go high enough to beat things like Gunflame, and is very easy to be jabbed out of once your opponent catches onto your tactics. Never get predictable!

  • Groundslides on hit, can be combo'd into from Gunflame FRC or a counterhit 5H.
  • Running startup allows for an interesting high/low/throw mixup off of things like a blocked Gunflame FRC, though the high route is much more committal.
  • Can be jump installed for RC airdash pressure and mixups on block.
  • One of the higher damage starters for EX Sol's dustloop in the corner.
  • Dangerous when paired with Gunflame: Charge to make its startup safe.

Great command grab with average command throw range but great startup. Sol's main mixup tool.

  • Full, (somewhat less)damaging conversions from anywhere on stage.
  • No SW loop means damage potential is cut by a sizable margin, but still a useful tool to have.
  • Also has character specific, meterless burst safe setups.
  • Only in CH state for a short segment of its recovery.

Makes people wince a little bit when it lands. Meterless conversions can(maybe?) do 25%-55% damage.

  • Some meterless burst safe followups include:
    • 2H > late j.H/Burst Throw OS

EX Sol's equivalent to Ky's Charged Stun Edge, Gunflame: Charge is a 4 hit wave of fire that travels across the screen until it gets its job done. A combo starter on hit and a suffocating option in pressure, especially with its FRC point.

  • Travels until it either leaves the screen, Sol is hit, or all 4 hits connect either on hit or block.
  • Cranks the guard bar like hell, inflating EX Sol's damage output even more.
  • Hitbox is not as tall as it looks, can be jumped over.
  • Leads to a full combo on hit.
  • There is no restriction on how many instances of GFC can be on screen at once.

The money-maker. This is the super you'll use to trade in your meter for some of the most disgusting damage EX Sol has to offer. Use it wisely.

  • ZERO frames post flash on the ground and only one in the air, but if they're far enough away, you won't snipe any gaps.
  • Excessive corner carry.
  • Very high single hit damage, and since you aren't getting air knockdowns anyway, a decent air ender for shorter combos.
  • Difficult to convert off of when the opponent is right in the corner due to the rest of the animation playing out.
  • Extremely unsafe on block.
  • Hitbox counts as a projectile for Potemkin's Flick, but isn't a reliable answer to projectiles even a little bit.

If you have 50%, don't forget this is in your back pocket.
