She also has Left/Right Mix-up To perform a maneuver that forces a defending opponent to choose between two or more options. If the opponent chooses incorrectly, then they are hit by an attack. There are many different types of mix-ups such as crossup(left/right), high/low, and strike/throw.s with a well positioned Bomb-Bomb ChocolatGuardAllStartup29Recovery0Advantage+14 (mid air), decent zoning with Miss Charlotte, Bomb-BombnnièreGuardGround ThrowStartup7+0Recovery50 (32 OH)Advantage- for strike/throw mix when she has tension, and great corner carry with Miss Charlotte (Out of Repair)GuardAllStartup14Recovery10Advantage-8~+3.

Elphelt is a well rounded rushdown character who can rely on her huge normals and consistent mix-up options to keep the advantage in her favor.

Fast and high-reward anti-air to quickly respond to opponents stalling above you.

A mostly standard 5P, but with generally good startup and reaches high up, making it a more reliable anti-air. On air hit it leads to very powerful combos with c.S, making it considerably higher reward than 6P if used. It is strongest against empty jumps and other tactics to stall above Elphelt; or cross-up behind her.

As an abare, it is generally overshadowed by 2P, as this is more susceptible to whiffing, and is not faster to recover.

Fast, close-range poke in neutral and RPS.

Relatively large for its speed, it covers middleground between the short range of 2K and the long range of f.S with a low recovery on whiff. It is notably good during spaced RPS Rock Paper ScissorsA situation wherein an attacker and a defender have options that only beat certain responses from their opponent. For example, on wakeup a defending opponent may use a reversal to stop an attacker from using an attack, but the attacker can also block to defeat the reversal. If the attacker blocks, the defender can use the opportunity to take the offensive. where opponents are unable to use their own 2K. This is notably helpful after spaced attacks such as 2H or Out of RepairGuardAllStartup14Recovery10Advantage-8~+3. On hit it provides a knockdown into 2D for okizeme.

Mediocre as a pressure tool. Its lack of variability on cancel timing combined with a generally weak options makes it not so useful for blockstring offense, but is often very safe when used at further range.

Okizeme tool to begin a standard offense, and fast punish combo starter.

Fairly standard c.S. With a high active time, very low recovery, and assortment of gatlings leading into Elphelt's core blockstrings, it makes a solid okizeme at close-rage when you're unable to set up Bomb-Bomb ChocolatGuardAllStartup29Recovery0Advantage+14 (mid air). On block it can be easily used to stagger pressure, go into 5H to enforce Chain Lollipop, or delay a gatling with 2S or 2D for a frametrap.

c.S is also the go-to punish for the majority of unsafe moves, with very fast startup and good combos. However, usually restricted by range.

While less reliable than alternatives, c.S can also function as an anti-air. It will face towards the opponent automatically, and hits relatively high up. It is a good answer to opponents directly above you, similar to 5P but with higher value on hit or block, and more commital recovery.

Long-range general purpose poke for use in neutral.

Thanks to its impressive range it can easily attack outside the range of other characters, making it hard to space around while being a reliable whiff punish attack. On hit, this easily confirms into 5H at all but the furthest ranges, and on Counter Hit leads into 2H for a large combo from very far away. However, more susceptible to low-profiles and 6P attacks due to attacking at mid-height.

Generally mediocre on block, as 5H becomes slightly unsafe to 6P attacks and and doesn't lead to anything particular at spacing. It has a niche over 2S thanks to its more forgiving range at the cost of being susceptible to 6P attacks.

Huge poke and general confirm tool for simple knockdowns and pressure.

As one of Elphelt's single largest attacks her 5H makes a useful attack to out-range pokes and control neutral. However, due to its very long recovery it is risky to let it whiff the opponent, while being very suspectible to being low-profiled. It is also a common hitconfirm after f.S, especially to combo into Out of RepairGuardAllStartup14Recovery10Advantage-8~+3 for impressive corner carry.

In blockstrings, thanks to its high blockstun it is one of Elphelt's only ways to safely begin Chain Lollipop with Here I Go!GuardAllStartup20Recovery16Advantage-2 without risking a 6P, often used with c.S > 5H > 214S. Unfortunately, 5H is unable to hit any frame of 6P startup, making it a slightly flawed frametrap from 2S or f.S, and not very strong when delayed from c.S.

Simple hitconfirm tool from 5H for combos in the corner or to push the opponent back.

Due to an unforgiving cancel window, it is impossible to frametrap with this. This means it serves no real purpose for pressure. However, using it on block will push the opponent much further. This can work to your favour, as it allows Out of RepairGuardAllStartup14Recovery10Advantage-8~+3 to be better on block, but it severely reduces your options from 5H.

On hit, it is only worth using 5H~H in the corner to use the Rolling Tumble effect. Early into combos this allows a confirm into Bomb-Bomb ChocolatGuardAllStartup29Recovery0Advantage+14 (mid air), while late into combos it can help break the wall, especially with a final cancel into Out of Repair.

In rare cases like Asuka and Jack-O' it is possible to cancel 5H without hitting the opponent. In these cases it can act as a ginormous poke for impressive screen-clearing.

Launches the opponent into a Rolling Tumble on hit, giving a knockdown with a momentarily comboable state.

Universal overhead attack. Tapping gives a fast but weak overhead, while holding down will give a much slower but much more powerful strike.

Uncharged Dust Attack

Fast overhead mixup, exclusively used with a Roman Cancel. Can make for a surprise mixup out of point-blank 2K and c.S. However, it always creates a gap and due to its short range it is very easy to whiff on Faultless Defense, making it often risky to use.

Causes floating crumple on ground hit.

Charged Dust Attack

On-hit, holding will activate Homing JumpHold any upwards direction after hitting an opponent with a raw, fully charged Dust Attack to leap into the air and chase them. for a large combo opportunity.

Very slow overhead mixup with a high return on hit. With similar problems, but very easy to react to and interrupt, it is generally not a very effective mixup despite its high potential combo damage. However, it has some use in combos as a high-damage extender off very high launches.

All-around strongest abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it., with very fast startup and reliable confirms.

2P can be used to escape gaps in offense where the opponent is either very close, or extends an attack into the 2P. Its fast startup makes it ideal to exploit narrow gaps in offense, especially to interrupt Tick Throws A throw done after attacks, very soon after if not exactly when throw invulnerability expires on the opponent. A Tick Throw take advantage of that the opponent naturally expect a Frame Trap coming, making it very hard to react to or escape from. and stagger pressure.

Doubles as an alternative stagger pressure tool, being able to bait YRC and Burst, with a short enough blockstun to easily run in for a Throw before the opponent can react.

On hit, can combo with 2P > 6P > 214K for easy advantage. However, if you play for a Counter Hit, you can link into 2P CH > 2K > 2D for a stronger knockdown, and at point-blank range even get a combo with 2P CH > c.S.

Fast low for mixups and general-purpose punish.

As Elphelt's fastest low available, many setups include the use of 2K to threaten High-Low mixups. On hit it confirms into 2D for a hard knockdown to reset okizeme. It is very low damage, and a poor starter with Roman Cancels, but an essential part of locking down the opponent. Its fast speed also allows it to be a standard punish to many unsafe attacks to get a knockdown.

On block, it has a frametrap with 2D, and at close-range can act as a tick throw A throw done after attacks, very soon after if not exactly when throw invulnerability expires on the opponent.

Low hitting strike for close-range offense and defensive neutral coverage.

A useful okizeme and gatling off c.S, with good reward on hit, and high active frames to easily punish backdashing. Its large range means it can often be used on weaker okizeme, such as dashing up after Out of RepairGuardAllStartup14Recovery10Advantage-8~+3 or Up High! (Finisher)GuardHighStartup14Recovery32Advantage-18. On block, it can go into 5H to potentially set up a safer Here I Go!GuardAllStartup20Recovery16Advantage-2 for Chain Lollipop, or 2H to punish opponents trying to use 6P.

In neutral it is a powerful defensive poke. Its decent range, disjoint, and long active time makes it especially good at catching approaching opponents. It also reliably catches low-profile attacks, while incidentally being a functional anti-air thanks to how tall it is relative to Elphelt, giving it a versatile coverage of different approach angles. However, its slower startup and shorter range than f.S makes it more prone to being outclassed in the midrange by other pokes.

Slow advancing attack to call out attacks, but is risky to being interrupted on startup.

Most common in pressure as a callout to 6P and backdashes, netting enormous reward for Counter Hit while remaining safe on block. Can always be thrown on startup, and its lower blockstun compared to 5H makes it easier to counter Here I Go!GuardAllStartup20Recovery16Advantage-2 or Bomb-Bomb ChocolatGuardAllStartup29Recovery0Advantage+14 (mid air). Therefore, it is nessecary to balance both options.

In neutral, it has a niche has a crouch-height advancing attack to get under various high-hitting projectiles. Especially useful due to how tall Elphelt's dash is, substituting in for other dashing attacks. However, the attack hits deceptively late into the movement, making it often fall into lingering attacks without trading.

Follow-up after 2K and a slightly faster substitute to 2S.

On hit sets up a very strong knockdown giving time for c.S or 2H OTG okizeme, as powerful midscreen offense. Its exact 1F frametrap timing from 5K/2K also makes it your go-to combo and pressure option. However, its poor blockstun makes it dangerous when blocked at close range as you will not have easy answers to certain punishes.

In neutral it is similar to 2S with better startup and Counter Hit reward, while being a Low guard to catch opponents walking backwards; at the cost of slightly worse range, lack of disjoint, and weaker on-block. Works best when spaced, making it a good defensive option and RPS tool in the midrange.

Exceptionally good anti-air and counterpoke, able to crush airborne and mid-height attacks with ease.

A cut above other 6P attacks, with tied for the best startup and invuln, with good recovery and enormous vertical range. In addition, confirms into a knockdown on hit and combos on Counter Hit. Like most 6P attacks, its is upper-body invulnerable during startup and actives, making it your go-to option to challenge opponents jumping directly in with airborne attacks or mid-height pokes such as f.S and 5H attacks.

The only notable downside is the general lower reward compared to other anti-airs due to worse combo potential, and on grounded block is a very precarious position thanks to its awful blockstun reminiscent of 2D, but with more recovery, sometimes making a punish unavoidable.

As Elphelt's only attack able to combo into Bomb-Bomb ChocolatGuardAllStartup29Recovery0Advantage+14 (mid air) outside of the corner, with very high damage, most of her biggest combos rely on accessing a comboable 6H, either using a Counter Hit c.S, an air-hit c.S, or the stagger from Wild Assault.

This technically can function as an anti-air thanks to its large range, enormous anti-air disjoint, high active time, and potentially lethal reward on hit. However, it will need to be extremely pre-emptive to stand a chance of working, and is very bad on whiff, making this high risk.

High-reaching and fast air-to-air attack for preemptive checks.

Hitting higher than Air Throw, it is easier to catch airborne opponents but is slower if the opponent is already in range. It sacrifices some value on hit, as j.P is inconsistent to confirm into a good combo or knockdown. However, its hugely lowered recovery allows a preemptive attack to then safely recover mid-air, to block or evade anti-airs, or drop down into a new attack.

It is best used from a dash jump, as the added momentum can enable better confirms and avoids j.P sending the opponent too far.

This allows it to doubles as both as a frustratingly hard to challenge counterpoke in neutral, and an instant overhead mixup tool in blockstrings. Unfortunately, in both cases you will need a Roman Cancel to get any value whatsoever.

In addition it is Elphelt's fastest jump-in attack by a large margin, and is especially good after empty jumping in neutral. From an airdash it lacks any reward on hit, but instead it threatens a frametrap j.D to be +10 on block to begin your advantage.

Cross-up attack able to hit behind Elphelt, and a very far-range jump-in.

Hitting it on cross-up is most commonly set up during Bomb-Bomb Chocolat. When used this way it is very reliant on spacing and timing. Depending on how late into Elphelt's movement it connects, it can potentially link into c.S, 5K, or f.S for varying amounts of value on hit or block.

When used from an airdash from very far range, it covers substantially more range than j.H and is +6 on block. However, if the airdash is too close it trades significant frame advantage on hit and block for slightly faster startup, which is rarely preferable. If airdashing over the opponent instead, it can be used to quickly hit cross-up, however this will virtually always space too far to combo, and is instead to secure slight frame advantage after escaping the corner.

Can also act as a relatively large but very slow preemptive air-to-air, hitting the furthest of Elphelt's air normals from frame 14 onwards.

Hits behind Elphelt during first 3 active frames. Hits much further and slightly upwards during final 3 active frames.

Slow-hitting jump-in for mid-range approaches.

It is best used from an airdash where you would otherwise hit the early frames of j.S. Thanks to its slower startup it will hit deeper and maintain a better frame advantage on hit and block, giving a frametrap if linked into 2K and a combo into c.S.

Has some niche after Bomb-Bomb Chocolat, autotiming to hit on the last possible frame for even more frame advantage. Its slower startup also helps for certain height-based setups without manually timing j.S.

Grounded (S and H) ()

Total: 50

S projectile ()

Total: 83

A weak and basic projectile with a much more powerful homing ricochet effect.

When shot directly at the opponent, it is a fairly weak poke for a very small amount of damage and Tension, and niche homing ability. Not particularly effectve due to its very poor frame data. But, it can be a serviable interrupt to character-specific setups that disappear on hit or block.

If the initial shot whiffs, the projectile will home in and redirect at the opponent after a short delay. This is especially useful when used in the air, as you can fire over the opponent and have it return to leave you reasonably advantaged. This can be used as part of some Throw bait setups, or in neutral to bait anti-airs. Unfortunately this leaves you incredibly vulnerable, making it very risky. Whiffing the shot while grounded can also be done in some niche okizeme situations.

The version you want will depend a lot on timing and movement. Generally, S is faster and easier to use, while H is riskier but more advantageous. The S version also travels less distance before stopping, potentially creating a ricochet even without whiffing past the opponent, for better screen control but a slower hit.

The timing of when the shot will stop, pause, and redirect is determined by the input used. The H version will travel faster, and for longer before redirecting, shown by the data in [ ].
Air version projectiles automatically stop and redirect if it hits the ground.
The air version momentarily slows momentum before sending Elphelt backwards.
The projectile will disappear if Elphelt is hit, but not on block.

Miss Charlotte:

Projectile locks its homing direction in on the first 'pause' frame (9F / 15F)
The move cannot be re-input for the full active duration (83F / 89F) on whiff, even if the projectile travels off-screen.
During the 'pause' frames the projectile does continue to move extremely slowly, reducing its speed by 40% per frame. In addition it begins moving at only 10% speed for the first 2 frames of the ricochet.
The attack is actually formed of 2 animations. The very large and prominent muzzle flash and beam graphic is tied to Elphelt and has no hitbox. The projectile is a small fireball moving behind it, which is almost invisible in the H version until later into the animation. During certain frames the two can be misaligned, meaning the attack hitbox does not nessecarily match the animation being played.

Air Miss Charlotte:

Due to the faster movement of the H projectile, it may hit the ground sooner at a low height, and thus redirect faster than the S version.

Bolt forward with an extreme rush of movement. More powerful the further away you are.

The further out you hit the more advantageous you are, at its maximum range you will naturally outspace Throws and have time to c.S or 2K. At close-range, you are extremely punishable, so use with care. In neutral this makes for a great surprise attack to close the distance, either to interrupt setups, or disrupt their approach.

Also acts as your go-to frametrap special and long-distance pressure tool. After 5H~H it can catch opponents from extremely far away while staying safe—or even plus—on block. While from weaker blockstun with moves like 6P or 2D it acts as a risky frametrap to prevent opponents attacking.

Doubles up as a strange command dash, usable on knockdowns to close distance faster than running normally, or to slip under airborne opponents from very far away. Its low recovery makes it hard to catch on whiff and can turn full-screen positions into a close-range interaction extremely quickly.

Okizeme tool and pressure reset to set up mixups, doubling as a callout move.

With its strong air advantage, Bomb-Bomb Chocolat easily sets up some of Elphelt's best offense.

On okizeme, the bomb can be hit meaty from OTGs The act of hitting the opponent when they are knocked down. Short for "off the ground" or "on the ground." to create completely safe mixups with j.D and 2K, while being a functional safejump, with a large variety of Roman Cancel options.

Cancelling into Bomb-Bomb Chocolat on block is very dangerous. Universally opponents can easily react late with a jump to Air Throw, but quicker reactions net very powerful punishes. Despite this, it can work as a callout against opponents thanks to how easily Elphelt jumps over attacks, including most 6P attacks. It can also double as a cross-up tool to cause whiffs or surprise unsuspecting opponents.

While it can be rocket-proppelled by dash momentum, Bomb-Bomb Chocolat is very rare in neutral, as the bomb doesn't hit as far as Elphelt travels, usually leaving her easily punishable.

A Tick Throw take advantage of that the opponent naturally expect a Frame Trap coming, making it very hard to react to or escape from. using the low recovery. While none of these options are particularly good damage, it can be very hard to escape the pressure once it begins, and generates a lot of Tension in the process. The attack is slightly slow, making it always possible to interrupt with a 6P unless cancelled into from 5H or 6H.

Overhead mixup and frametrap tool during Chain Lollipop.

If the opponent crouch blocked, the first hit will whiff, making it effectively 2F slower and creating a slight gap.

Pressure ender and corner knockdown confirm during Chain Lollipop.

The Finisher versions of Up High! and Down Low! are extremely unsafe, making it almost always better to confirm into Nailed It! unless you have 50% Tension for a Roman Cancel to safely enforce a mixup. With huge pushback, it easily spaces out to avoid being punished or put into pressure. It is not flawless, however, as when Instant Blocked it can be Throw punished. In addition it quickly whiffs on 6P attacks, making it less reliable when used with large delays.

If confirming in the corner, it is always best to use Nailed It!, as it gives by far the highest damage, and the best knockdown. Depending on matchup, it can often provide time to set up Bomb-Bomb ChocolatGuardAllStartup29Recovery0Advantage+14 (mid air), or run in for a meaty c.S.

A slow but long-range invulnerable reversal and combo ender.

At 13F startup, Elphelt's reversal is susceptible to various safe-meaty attacks. On top of generally bad vertical range, this is weaker as a wakeup option compared to most invulnerable Overdrives. However, its enormous horizontal range allows it to retaliate even from very far away. In addition, it launches very far, with time to get okizeme, easily shifting the momentum from the corner.

It is common to end combos by using Juganto da parfeo to break the wall, getting to reset offense with Positive Bonus. This can even be done during Chain Lollipop by timing your input as a Kara Cancel.

Triggers an instaneous Wall Break. Results in a Hard Knockdown for +36 frame advantage.
Uniquely the attack is a projectile, meaning it cannot be interrupted after super-flash or Red Roman Cancelled.

Command Grab, setting up a boosted mixup or as a combo confirm. However, almost never worth the high cost.

When the grab lands Elphelt attaches timed explosives that will detonate after a short delay. This cannot be teched out with a Throw Clash, making it a counter to fuzzy Throw Tech.

By resetting into a mixup, you gain higher damage potential than comboing directly from the grab. Unfortunatey, the damage remains low for the cost even if the mixup works, struggling to match that of Throw into a fast RC, despite being significantly riskier and much more expensive. Combined with other problems, like being vulnerable to Psych Burst before the explosion even goes off, this makes it rarely see use as a mixup tool in Elphelt's otherwise very resource-efficient offense. While it has a small niche in some grounded combos, this can only be done from a Wild Assault at closer range, requiring a huge amount of resources to set up.

In more advanced play, Bomb-Bombnnière primarily serves a niche as a whiff cancel (not kara) during Chain Lollipop, allowing it to option select against backdashes.

Cannot be jumped or otherwise evaded after super flash begins.
Upon hitting the grab, applies a Stagger effect, leaving the opponent momentarily comboable.
Grenade belt explodes 81f after Elphelt recovers, even if Elphelt gets hit.

-Using {{MMC|input=214S|label={{clr|S|214S}}}}, Elphelt can enter a {{keyword|rekka}} state known as "Chain Lollipop". By pressing either {{clr|P|P}}, {{clr|K|K}}, {{clr|S|S}} or {{clr|H|H}}, she uses a corresponding move with a different effect:
+Using {{MMC|input=214S|label=Here I Go! {{Ni|214}}{{Prompt|GGST|S}}}}, Elphelt can enter her "Chain Lollipop" {{Keyword|rekka}} state. During this, pressing {{Prompt|GGST|P}}, {{Prompt|GGST|K}}, {{Prompt|GGST|S}} or {{Prompt|GGST|H}} will perform the corresponding Chain Lollipop attack.
-{{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S|label=Here I Go!}} starts the Chain Lollipop sequence, and can be repeated without limit by pressing {{clr|S|S}} afterwards. Using {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S|label=Here I Go!}} resets the chain, allowing 2 other inputs to be used afterwards before the sequence ends, unless {{clr|S|S}} is pressed again to reset.
+'''{{Prompt|GGST|S}} {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S|label=Here I Go!}}''' resets the Chain Lollipop sequence, and can be repeated without limit, allowing 2 other inputs to be used afterwards before the sequence ends, unless reset again.
-{{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S~P|label=Up High!}} is a multi-hitting overhead attack initiated by pressing {{clr|P|P}} during Chain Lollipop. Pressing another button other than {{clr|S|S}} afterwards will end the sequence.
+'''{{Prompt|GGST|P}} {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S~P|label=Up High!}}''' is a multi-hitting ''overhead''. Pressing another button other than {{clr|S|S}} afterwards will end the sequence.

Again, pressing another button other than {{clr|S|S}} afterwards will end the sequence.
+'''{{Prompt|GGST|K}} {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S~K|label=Down Low!}}''' is a far-travelling ''low'', and counterpart to Up High! Again, pressing another button other than {{clr|S|S}} afterwards will end the sequence.
-{{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S~H|label=Nailed It!}} can be used at any time with {{clr|H|H}} during Chain Lollipop and will always end the sequence. It's the go-to finisher, leaving Elphelt with the advantage after she's successfully mixed an opponent with {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S~P|label=Up High!}} or {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S~K|label=Down Low!}}.
+'''{{Prompt|GGST|H}} {{MMC|chara=Elphelt Valentine|input=214S~H|label=Nailed It!}}''' is the go-to finisher after a mixup, and always ends the sequence when used. It is very fast, launches the opponent on hit, and keeps Elphelt safe when blocked.
