Strategy

Be good at the video game and hit them with the mix

Movement

Back Dash	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip N/A 1 N/A N/A N/A N/A Strike, projectile and throw invulnerable for 1~25 frames.

Crouch block "Bug"

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Neptune's crouch block is "bugged" in the sense that that hurtbox doesn't match up to the sprite. This is because Neptune moves her sprite forward during crouch block. Her hurtbox is close to where her standing blocking hurtbox would be. This is still a useful as the visual confusion will mess up many player's spacing of sweeps or projectiles like Jupiter Coconut or Venus Up-ball, allowing for you to whiff punish with your own sweep or a DP.

Throws

Neck Throw

Range Damage Techable Advantage 40 20 Yes +16(2P+17) Neptune really got the short end of stick when it comes to grab. Her throw only does 20 damage when other throws can do more. It is also a punch throw so it has less range than a kick throw. Punch throws usually have less range in exchange for them being untechable. Neptune's grab can be teched sadly. Depending on port you can get a follow up if they tech in the corner however. Still useful for oki setups in the corner, just remember you have to be closer than your opponent's grab range.

Air Throw	Range Damage Techable Advantage Brings the opponent down to earth when you get it, but Neptune hardly ever presses HP in the air.

Normal Attacks

Standing Light Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 5 6 14 +6 2 / 3 / 3 / 3 Neptune's fastest normal. Can be used to get extra damage when crouching LK won't combo due to the extra frame of start up it has because of crouch.

Standing Hard Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 7 12 18 36 -1 7 / 9 / 11 / 12 Good combo extender than can combo into HP DP very easily for big damage

Standing Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 6 6 16 +5 3 / 4 / 5 / 5 Farthest reaching light normal

Standing Light Kick (Close)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 5 6 15 +6 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Does 1 more damage but can whiff on some characters if not close enough to their hurtbox

Standing Hard Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 13 14 15 41 0 9 / 12 / 14 / 15 A poke that can combo into fireball and can also anti-air

Standing Hard Kick (Close)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip / 9 12(0)8 8 36 +14~+18 8-10/10-13/12-15/14-17 Good mix up tool due to the overhead property. More to come soon

Crouching Light Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 5 6 14 +6 2 / 3 / 3 / 3 Comes out if you miss DP, mostly useless

Crouching Hard Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 9 14 10 32 +5 6 / 8 / 9 / 10 Usually seen if you miss a standing HP into DP combo. It does less damage and has a smaller hitbox so it is not preferred

Crouching Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 5 6 14 +6 3 / * / 5 / * Good poke due to the large disjoint. Good combo tool as well. Just a good button.

Crouching Hard Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 10 11 16 36 +2/D 8 / * / 12 / * Second farthest sweep in the game and a core poking tool for Neptune due it's range. Cannot be comboed into from lights. Can also low profile some projectiles such as Jupiter Thunder Dragon

Jumping Light Punch (Vertical)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 All All All +8~+14 3 / 4 / 5 / 5 Ambiguous cross up tool

Jumping Light Punch (Moving)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 All All All +8~+14 3 / 4 / 5 / 5 Ambiguous cross up tool that moves!

Jumping Hard Punch (Vertical)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 11 8 23 +8~+14 5 / 7 / 8 / 9 If you miss an air grab you will see this move, but why are you going for air grab?

Jumping Hard Punch (Moving)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 11 8 27 +8~+14 6 / 8 / 9 / 10 If you miss an air grab you will see this move, but why are you going for air grab?

Jumping Light Kick (Vertical)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 All All All +8~+14 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Very good air to air, only losing to Pluto jumping LP and spaced Venus HP. The large disjoint will also beat some anti-airs, but you are then minus on it. If timed and spaced this can combo into lights or DP.

Jumping Light Kick (Moving)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 All All All +8~+14 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Very good air to air, only losing to Pluto jumping LP and spaced Venus HP. The large disjoint will also beat some anti-airs, but you are then minus on it. If timed and spaced this can combo into lights or DP. And it moves!

Jumping Heavy Kick (Vertical)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 9* 9 25 +9~+14 10 / 13 / 15 / 17 At best this move can be used as a bait to then punish with DP.

Jumping Heavy Kick (Moving)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 8 7 5 24 +5~+14 9 / 12 / 14 / 15 Good jumping HK. Can combo into anything

Special Attacks

Splash Edge (LP)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 3 18 19 39 -4/D 12(10)/16(13)/18(15)/20(17) + (none)

Splash Edge (HP)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 5(0)22 29 92 -22/D 14+8/18+a/21+a/24+a + (none)

Deep Submerge (LP)

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 12 Projectile 36 48 ~+1 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 + Potentially the worst fireball in the game. It's slower recovery and awkward angle makes it lose most fireball wars. It's atrocious hurtbox makes Neptune's entire hand a head hurtbox, making it very easy for other characters to jump in at her. It should not be used mindlessly and has to be properly placed to be have any chance at being effective.

Deep Submerge (HP)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 16 Projectile 51 67 -14~ 10 / 13 / 15 / 17 + Can be used to do extra damage in combos or to use it's speed to snipe opponents at low health. A sad fact about HP Deep Submerge is that it does the same chip damage of 2 as LP Deep Submerge.

Desperation Attack

Dragon Rise

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 6 43 41 89 -43/D 48 / 62 / 72 / 72 +++ 1F~14F:Invincible, 15F~82F:Air, Chip: 12x2 Definitely one of the better desperations outside of the top tier ones. The input can be tricky to input due to the forward press at the beginning. If you miss it you will get a HP DP instead. Can be combo'd into from an air HK by buffering the input while in the air.
