SMS/Uranus

Overview

Uranus is a neutral bully who possesses game's first and proper forward dash, making her neutral and pressure game even better with moves like 632LPGuardMidStartup15Recovery36Advantage+1 slowish Fireball to cover her approach and stuff opposing zoning and an 1f Command Grab 360LKGuardStartup1Recovery31Advantage-31/D to threaten her opponent as it takes 1/3rd of it. Making proper uses of her specials(including forward dash) will make your opponents sorry for matching against you.

Uranus Uranus switches between playstyles as she abuses her ability of forward dash (especially with the player port 2 invincible reversal bug) to score infinite confirms, full screen throws or even zoning hits for some degree.

Pros

Cons

Game-breaking forward dash: Forward dash that takes only 15 frames to traverse the entire screen and is almost fully invincible if done as a wake up option (completely invincible on P2 side(actionable afterwards)).
Infinite: Has a rather easy infinite that works on every character.
Diving Gaia Crash: Command grab that takes 1/3 of the opponent's health, which becomes absolutely terrifying when paired with her lighting speed forward dash.
Amazing match ups: Uranus wins against the entire cast and completely invalidates half of them at high level of play.

Controversial: While not banned in tournament play yet, there is, has been, and will be discussion about a ban.

Although not explicitly a unique mechanic to Uranus(other character Backdashes/Unique Forward Dashes), Dash Canceling, especially Forward Dash cancel is an important part of Uranus' pressure. By canceling a normal into (technically a special) Uranus gets different frame advantage for a normal she cancels. This allows Uranus change frame advantage on block and on hit. Some moves that are plus on block can become 0 on block through Dash Cancel allowing for pressure resets/extensions and etc.
For example: is normally +6 on block. But when dash cancelled it becomes +0 — turning the regular pressure situation into Diving Gaia Crush tick-throw setup.

The frame advantage from Dash Cancels becomes better as the level for normal moves increases.

This is peak fighting games. High damage 1f command grab, knockdown on hit. Uranus' core move, you want to land this move as much as possible. 1f startup, ability to guard cancel with specials, ability to cancel and buffer into DGA from Forward Dash, making this a go-to move in whenever you are in pressure, pressure on oki, you pressuring the opponent. Combine this and Uranus' ability to dash cancel normals to make an advantageous situation.

360LK: Has slightly more range, 31f whiff recovery makes up for all pros presented.

360HK: Steals 1/3rd of your opponent's health with a cost of being more riskier since whiff recovery is exactly 1f longer than Light version, also a little less range.

632LP: Input not a typo, slowish fireball that travels fullscreen, mostly useless on it's own, but with Uranus' forward dash she can use it to cover her approach from fullscreen safely. Also used in some oki setups, safe-ish oki option in the most matchups, in Uranus mirror Uranus can reversal forward dash to entirely avoid the projectile.
