Overview

Dizzy utilizes summons from Necro and Undine to control space, and for setplay. She also has great throw reward, which when combined with the safety of fish armor, fast dash acceleration and planned gaps in pressure make her into a “grappler” tick throw extraordinaire. She also has access to mixups, crossovers, frame traps and fuzzy setups. Her space control tools and long range normals synergize with her great mobility, she can double airdash and has a lot of airdash inertia.

Dizzy is character with exaggerated strengths and weaknesses, and a very large set of tools which can easily be misused but also make her versatile. She is less beginner friendly than many characters but extremely deep and rewarding to master. Her gameplay often involves linking specials with other specials or normals with specific timing to open up opponents’ defenses or achieve high damage combos.

Lore:Dizzy doesn’t wish to harm anyone but as a commander-type Gear battle sometimes seeks her. Necro and Undine are her Spirit Guardian System tasked with protecting her, though all three can disagree on the best way to do that Dizzy has gained more control over them over time.

Dizzy Dizzy is a highly mobile character that uses her normals and multitude of summons to control space and run versatile and safe okizemeAttacking an opponent about to wake up, usually with meaty attacks or mixups..

Pros
Cons
  • High Mobility: Dizzy has a double airdash, fast dash acceleration, a foot invulnerable run and good superjump.
  • Space Control: Boasts over a dozen extremely active summons that allow her to control space and move.
  • Exceptional Okizeme: Dizzy's projectiles, especially Ice Fish and Fire Fish, give her a vast array of strong and safe okizeme. Her throw is also very rewarding, and as a result her tick throw game is possibly the best in Xrd.
  • High Damage: Great damage using RRCRed Roman Cancel, some meterless starters, and certain okizeme setups.
  • Incredible YRCYellow Roman Cancel Options: All of Dizzy's projectile summons can fully utilize YRC, and projectile YRC is strong. Ice Spike in particular is an effective tool for pressure, zoning and frame traps.
  • Weak Close Range Scrambles: Dizzy's normals have long reach but slow startup and recovery. She lacks a meterless reversal and has a slow metered reversal, and her go to abare button is 6f.
  • Susceptible To Counterhits: Dizzy's summons and normals have long recovery exposing her to more counterhits, while she is also tied for the lowest stun resistance in the game.
  • Meter Reliant: Dizzy isn't exceptionally good at generating meter but she is great at spending it for safely summoning in neutral, pressure extensions, combos/corner carry and on defense. Non judicious usage will leave Dizzy with limited options.

Note: Playing Dizzy requires a large commitment to learning many okizeme setups that depend on knockdown type, variable wakeup timings or character-specific reversal options and can be difficult to execute and punishing if failed.

Unique Mechanics


Fish

Dizzy summons five variations of fish which move forward and absorb a single hit for her. All fish but 214D attack on summoning. Fish enable Dizzy's okizeme game and help her control space.

Bubble

Dizzy can summon two variations of bubble that slowly float across the screen and can only be popped by Dizzy hitting it with another move. Bubbles excel at controlling space and adding threat and damage extensions to her moves, combos and setups as a popped bubble knocks the opponent into the air on hit.

Bubbles can be tiger knee'd (2369P and 2369K) which allows her to summon bubbles close to the ground and perform air actions afterward.

Relatively quick mid-range poke. The hitbox isn't particularly good and it's generally outclassed by her other pokes, but maintains some use due to its range, non prorate damage, and the fact that it can be jump canceled.

Decent mid-range poke, rather slow but can anti-air and frame trap. Has a lot of active frames but the hitbox doesn’t reach far during its earliest active frames so the hitboxes and hurtboxes can be a little awkward. Jump-cancel-able on hit or block which allows Dizzy to safely reset to neutral if she can't open up the opponent. For example resetting with bubble to defend against aggressive opponents. It can be a risky button in neutral compared to 6P as it trades poorly and sticks her hurtbox way out there. 2K, 2P, and 5K can all be delay cancelled into f.S to cause frame traps. f.S can then be delayed cancelled into 5H, 236S YRC and 2D to add another frame trap.

Dizzy's old f.S. It has 5 hits and every hit is special cancellable, with the fourth one staggering; but it whiffs on crouching opponents except Potemkin and Bedman (only during hitstun).

A essential combo filler for throw, P-bubble burst, and corner combos. Comes out fairly quickly, has a good horizontal hitbox that can stuff some aerial approaches, does fantastic damage, gives good amount of meter on hit, and combos into 236S for a knockdown. It even drains meter when the opponent FD’d.

Dizzy's primary standing overhead has a long startup just like most other 5Ds, but it can be covered by her projectiles to make it safer, and in the corner you can combo into it using fish. You can often mask the startup of this move with 236H YRC or H fish, as they do a good job of obscuring the telltale red flash of 5D.

Anti air with more reach than 2S that's useful to cover ranges where 2S would be ineffective. It is also a very strong mid range counter poke tool for Dizzy in neutral, as the counter hit properties change it to allow knockdown and it often cleanly beats many other character's pokes.

Normal
Max Charge

Dizzy's 6H has long startup, is extremely unsafe on block, and despite what the animation may suggest, only the fully charged version of it is an overhead. Can be used as a odd throw OS that will knock the opponent down on hit if they jump your throw. Where 6H really shines is in combos; both versions do enormous damage and give hard knockdown on aerial opponents, with the charged version giving a groundbounce that's essential for many of Dizzy's RC combos. Because it's also special cancellable, 6H knockdowns give Dizzy some of the best opportunities to setup okizeme, even better than 2D.

  • Poration: 80%

Great range for a 6 frame normal, though it doesn't hit low. If you feel like you can mash out of pressure, this is usually the button you're going to use, though the importance of good defense cannot be overstated. Keep in mind when hit-confirming off 2P that it never combos into 2D, even on counterhit. 2P also doesn't have the best hurtbox and the hitbox is higher than you may think, which means it can lose to 6Ps and can even be low-profiled. Used on block or hit to go for tick throws. Useful for frame traps, common examples are 2P > 5H, 2P > f.S, 2P > 6P and 2P > 2D.

Essential poke and Dizzy's only low besides 2D. This normal has great range and speed, and it's only -1 on block meaning it's great for pressure. Unless you absolutely need a 5 or 6 frame normal, this is your go-to normal for approaching and controlling the space in front of you, as it cannot be low-profiled and is easy to hit confirm. Used on block or hit to go for tick throws or confirm into 2D. 2K is also very useful for frame traps. 2K > 2H is a very rewarding frame trap with a 3f gap, other examples are 2K > 6P, 2K > f.S and 2K > 2D.

Dizzy's primary anti-air and one of her most iconic moves. Though it won't cleanly beat the game's most dominant jump-ins like Sol's j.H or Chipp's j.D and has basically no use in grounded footsies, it has a great low-profile hurtbox and extends relatively high above Dizzy's head while giving a full air combo on hit. The ability to properly space yourself and stop aerial approaches with 2S is essential, as unlike most characters Dizzy prefers to anti-air by going directly underneath the enemy instead of stopping them at a 45 degree angle.

A 2 hit normal with the second hit being a launcher. 2H is Dizzy's crouch confirm button, meaning it combos on crouching opponents but otherwise cannot be combo'd into unless it is from 4S, counterhit, or has the gap covered by fish or other summons. Its range leaves much to be desired. If the enemy is covered by your summons, then it may be possible to oki mixup into this move. It does good damage and leads to damaging follow-ups, it shines as a strong frametrap or a punish tool for big mistakes like whiffed reversals. It also cranks up RISC gauge like crazy and is jump cancellable so is good as an incredibly safe pressure ender though can be weak to FD since the second hit will sometimes miss if the opponent is using FD.

  • Proration: 85%

Enormous sweep with relatively short startup considering its range, and an important combo ender for Dizzy on grounded opponents as it lets her start her okizeme game. Although its horizontal range is great, it will basically never hit airborne opponents, has few active frames, and is extremely poor on whiff, meaning its use in neutral is more limited than it may appear. Ending blockstrings with 2D is also risky due to its terrible frame advantage and summoning after 2D on block is unsafe without meter.

Has less horizontal range than j.S but makes up for it by being bigger vertically. Can be used as an air to ground but will lose to 6P and low profiles. Has big blockstun and hitstun.

Highly damaging ender for air combos that launches the opponent, and its great upward hitbox means it can also be useful while rising against opponents high in the air. Can be special canceled on either hit. Since Rev 2.1 this move hits the opponent more to the side than up so it can be used in combos in the corner or in certain air strings. Knockdown on counter-hit.

Can combo after the throw without meter anywhere on the screen for great damage and corner carry. Because of its high reward on hit and the low blockstun on many of Dizzy's summons, integrating throws into your mixups is an essential skill with Dizzy, especially since her summons can protect you if your throw attempt whiffs. Unlike older games, Dizzy's throw range is average in Xrd.

Special Moves

Note that Dizzy has a restriction on having multiple summons of the same type on screen at the same time. You must wait a short period after the previous summon ends before summoning something of the same type. The types are:

Fish - 214P, 214K, 214S, 214H, 214D (and all air versions)

Spear/Dagger - 421S, 421H

Bubble - j.236P, j.236K

Ice pillar/ice spike. Dizzy’s fastest special.A cornerstone move used for ending combos to or in the corner and controlling space. Like many of her specials, has an extremely early YRC point that can be used to start pressure or summon. Leads into many of her most damaging combos when RC'd. Creates an Ice Spike at a set distance (about 2D’s range) and can’t appear out of the corner, making it appear at the edge instead. Because of its very high recovery, it is a very bad move to throw out during pressure or neutral. When used with YRC, its Dizzy’s best way to stuff approaches in neutral and best pressure reset by far.

Fire pillar. Delayed but more powerful version of 236S. Useful to end aerial combos as the hard knockdown gives Dizzy lots of time to set up okizeme, although outside of counterhit 2D it's not possible to use it in grounded combos. Useful as a frame trap to end blockstrings against very active opponents, although it's reasonably minus on block and the slow startup leaves a large gap that can be exploited but with yrc its decently safe but outshined by Ice Spike.

Ice spear/dagger attack with some tracking, often used in combos and some okizeme sequences.Creates a projectile with a rising hitbox, then stops and becomes inactive before forming an ice spear which shoots towards the opponent. A common mistake that new players make is using it like a fireball for basic space control, but it's risky to use because the hitbox is rather thin and the auto-lock is easily foiled by movement such as jumps or dashes towards Dizzy. Mostly a filler special used when a bubble and/or fish are already out. Can be used as a preemptive anti-air.

Fire spear/dagger, the more powerful and multi-hitting compared to 421S. This version is way slower but can be held, which creates more fire spears over time, up to 3 total spears, releasing the HS button then unleashes the spears. Mostly a filler special used when Bubble and fish are already out, but 421S is just flat out better because its faster overall. Like it counter part the hitbox is also rather thin and the auto-lock is easily foiled by movement such as jumps or dashes towards Dizzy. Avoid using this move in most situations during neutral. Its more of a combo tool that deals high damage after 236S RRC and one of the reasons why her damage is so high (for reference, one spear does only 3 less damage than Beak Driver).Really strong for okizeme as well after a close range 2D or 6H knockdown. If YRC'd after the initial dagger is created, you can hold the projectiles by holding down H and then release them by releasing H, similar to how Dizzy's daggers worked in GGAC+R.

The fish. All versions of fish (214P/K/S/H/D) will absorb a hit for Dizzy, similar to Eddie. Both P fish and K fish leave gaps in between the hits that can be used to tick throw.


214P

  • P fish chomps three times in front of Dizzy, advancing between each hit. It can act as a shield because the summon attack stays out for quite awhile, which in turn has the potential to protect Dizzy from an opponent's attack since they are likely to hit the summon instead of her. It can also be used to safely setup other summon attacks. Useful for corner oki and greedy pressure resets with YRC, although because it doesn't track to the opponent like K fish does its usefulness for okizeme is more limited.

214K

  • K fish will track the opponent horizontally before chomping twice. The distance that K fish can travel is approximately 3/4 of the screen. You can even use 214K for rushdown by dashing forward alongside the summon attack and using it as a shield to cover your approach. K fish is generally better for okizeme midscreen as it will always track to the opponent before starting its attacks.

j.214P/K
Their respective fish but with just more recovery. Nearly useless moves that are only for when you need to stall in the air.

D Counterattack

214S

  • S fish floats forward before moving upwards and firing a laser across the screen. It has occasional use to stop opponents from jumping out of okizeme, especially when used in conjunction with other summons. Has an unlimited amount of hits until it connects with the opponent or it stops being active, making it good for destroying projectiles mid-air, though it's typically the least-used variant of fish.

j.214S

  • Aerial S fish is S fish but with faster startup and longer recovery than the ground version. Clips jumping people. Mostly useful during zoning projectile battles. TK to make the best use of it.

214H

  • H fish is similar to S fish except it remains at ground level. This is one of your primary space-control summons and is also useful for okizeme despite not hitting meaty after most grounded combos into knockdown from 2D.

j.214H

  • Aerial H fish is H fish but with faster startup and longer recovery than the ground version and provides amazing air to ground control. Mostly useful during zoning projectile battles. TK to make the best use of it.

214D

  • D fish is unique in that it has no hitbox by default, but must be triggered by getting hit by an opponent's hitbox. Once it's hit, it charges forward with a homing chomp that tracks extremely well. Useful to bait opponents mashing and to make neutral awkward for the opponent. Causes a forced knockdown on air CH, staggers on ground hit. Used both against rushdown and zoning.

Upward arcing ice scythe attack that hixbox goes more foward than 236K, used to control airborne space and pop bubbles while doing certain zoning patterns. Has a pretty early YRC point that can be used to immediately lock down air approaches and give you time to set up other summons. Although it's tempting to use a safe blockstring ender, it's unsafe at most ranges, even at hit, and by the time it's been active long enough to gain plus frames the opponent likely could have run under it or pressed a button.

Slower but more damaging multi-hit version of 236P that hixbox is more closer; significantly, all of the hits are level 0, which is important when confirming. Most importantly, the YRC point on this move is quite fast, almost so much so that it's hard to mess it up on purpose. This gives it a lot of use as a pressure extender in the corner, locking the opponent down long enough for more summons, or as a twitch anti-air midscreen. Since it hits three times, it can also eat most projectiles. Does not disappear when dizzy gets hit making it always trade and near impossible for the opponent to combo you while it is out. - all in all, a great move.

Bubble Set
Bubble Burst

The bubble. One of Dizzy's most iconic and powerful special moves, Bubble stops Dizzy's aerial momentum to place a large bubble on the screen. The bubble does nothing until Dizzy pops it with any attack, where it will then explode, knocking the opponent up in the air. Bubble is useful in Dizzy's most damaging combos, to set up highly damaging fuzzy guards, and as an essential part of her neutral game where she can place a bubble, airdash away and pop it to protect her escape. You can hold 2 after summoning the bubble to make it drift downwards instead of straight forward. By doing TK Bubble low to the ground, Dizzy can start an extremely low airdash without jumping into the air first which is a key part of many okizeme setups.

Bubble Set
Bubble Burst

A bubble made of flames. More situational than the regular bubble, it has similar properties, but has slower startup, faster travel speed, pops later after getting hit, and more active frames makes it a more offensive tool than water bubble overall. Useful in certain air combos and sometimes in neutral, but be aware it has some more delay after summoning before you can act compared to regular bubble.

  • Values in [] indicate burst version.

Fast startup but has no reversal invul unless the Burst version is used. Pushes the opponent back on block or hit as a desperate way to immediately seize control of the neutral game. Can create an “unblockable” situation thanks to projectiles still moving during the super flash. 421S / 421H / 214H / 214S > 632146S is unblockable if they weren’t already blocking before the flash happens. It is worth noting that the explosions have much less blockstun than the animation might suggest.

Reversal super that's invulnerable to hits, though it can be thrown. The mirror itself can actually reflects most non-beam projectiles, blows the opponent back on hit, safe on block. It has an extremely high hitbox but rather small horizontal hitbox, and is kinda simple to whiff punish. Decent reversal, and can prove an amazing reversal in some situations, for instance it reflects I-No’s note,Sol's gunflame, and Ky's stun edge so if they meaty you with it, their own projectiles becomes yours. On CH it has the highest stun modifier out of Dizzy’s entire moveset and in the corner, wallsplats the opponent and leads to a 100% stun combo.

This attack will generally reflect most things that are "standard" projectiles: they travel in a straight line and don't do anything weird when they hit something. Projectiles with different trajectories (Raven's orb), instant travel time (Dizzy's own lasers), unusual hit properties (Chipp's Gamma Blade), or other caveats will NOT be reflected. Some moves that are or aren't projectiles (Eddie) are not considered projectiles by the mirror. The mirror will never reflect supers, although sometimes the invulnerability will let Dizzy punish the attacker.

Purely a gimmick super that costs 100% Tension. The slow startup, inconsistent damage output, and Dizzy being heavily vulnerable at all times make this move completely useless in serious matches, on top of the fact that she has much better uses for meter than this.

If Dizzy uses Gamma Ray while in Hellfire state, the attack will also blow off her vest, exposing her classic costume, though this is just an aesthetic change.

Uses the animation from 5D. Necro starts charging a Gamma Ray, but Dizzy deflects it away from the opponent, causing a huge explosion in the background. Seeing the explosion, her opponent surrenders.

Rather lots of options to combo into it using projectile setups, specially with 100 tension. Finding good situations to use such setups can be hard, however. If you ever find one, use it, otherwise refrain from it.
