Character Overview

Strengths:

• Very strong High-Low-Throw Mixup game

• Able to cancel backdash into another backdash with full invincibility

• Throw cannot be tech'd

• Double Jump and Swinging Marshmallow allow for more air mobility than other characters

Weaknesses:

• Tiny limbs, poor range

• Poor Guard Cancel options

• Poor Damage, throw is better than trying to do combo strings

Strategy

• Annoy your opponent with Low-High-Throw mixups, crossups, and tick-throws.

• Bait bad decisions and punish accordingly, Double jump butt is good for this.

• Use Backdash to cancel slide. Use Infinite Backdash when it’s useful.

• Use lights and jumping lights to Frame trap tick throws. Chibi’s just plus and fast enough she can beat projectiles with it.

• Cleverly use Luna P when able.

• Try not to be predictable. There’s a lot to use -- use it.

Normal Attacks

Standing Light Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 2 2 11 14 3 2 / 3 / 3 / 3 Fastest normal, limited use

Standing Hard Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 12 12 15 47 2 5 / 7 / 8 / 9 Shifts her head hitbox forward (yikes), can confirm into Light PSHA Fireball

Standing Hard Punch (Close)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 5 23 32 1 7 / 9 / 11 / 12 Best Heavy attack other than jumping heavies and slide; comes out fast and does actual damage

Standing Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 5 5 13 6 2 / 3 / 3 / 3 Links well into other lights and Crouching Heavy Kick. It moves both Chibi's face and body hurt boxes forwards. Ok button, 2LK is better.

Standing Hard Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 13 12 15 39 2 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Links into both strengths of PSHA Fireball, when cornered you can also back dash cancel the animation and true combo into Light Swinging Marshmallow. Hard to use normal, but very active. Use this spaced properly to win trades with Jupiter jLK.

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 Can link into other lights as well as both Crouching Heavies. Doesn't function as a low, can face hit some crouching characters. No one uses this button on purpose.

Crouching Hard Punch	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 10 11 11 31 7 5 / 7 / 8 / 9 Can confirm into PSHA. Nothing to write home about, but unlike Crouching Light Punch, it at least hits low.

Crouching Light Kick	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 5 6 14 6 2 / * / 3 / * Links into other lights as well as both Crouching Heavies. Hits Low!! This is Chibi’s main footsies button. Same sprite as slide can fake people out. Jump cancel the recovery frames to set up overheads with butt dive.

Crouching Hard Kick (Slide)

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 8 33 19 59 -2~+5/D 9 / * / 14 / * Knockdown on hit. Hits low, travels a little over half the screen, and any negative frames can be mitigated with a good backdash. One of Chibi’s most useful tools not only as a combo ender but also as a low poke. Box data is similar to Crouching Light Kick, slightly smaller hitbox. Characters with longer grabs _can_ grab you out of this. This move can cross under certain characters after the sweep hits if you choose to not backdash. It can also cross under some character’s backdash animations.

Jumping Light Punch (Vertical)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 all all all +6~+14 2 / 3 / 3 / 3 A better Air-to-air option than Jumping Kicks. Like all Jumping Lights, is active until you hit the ground. Doesn’t do much damage but because of plus frames is your go to tick throw button.

Jumping Light Punch (Moving)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 all all all +6~+14 3 / 4 / 5 / 5 A better Air-to-air option than Jumping Kicks. Like all Jumping Lights, is active until you hit the ground. Doesn’t do much damage but because of plus frames is your go to tick throw button.

Jumping Hard Punch (Vertical)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 11 6 19 +6~+14 5 / 7 / 8 / 9 Slightly larger hitbox (6 pixels wider, 3 taller) and deals twice as much damage. Go to Air-To-Air trade button.

Jumping Hard Punch (Moving)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 5 11 6 21 +5~+14 6 / 8 / 9 / 10 Slightly larger hitbox (6 pixels wider, 3 taller) and deals twice as much damage. Go to Air-To-Air trade button.

Jumping Light Kick (Vertical)

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 all all all -2~+14 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Neutral jump version has worse plus frames, Forward/Backward Jump minimum +1 on hit, all versions of jLK can be +14 on hit if done right before you hit the ground. Chibi can instant overhead with this kick, but you’re only mid-air after your hit so you’re kind of a sitting duck. Good cross up button due to hitbox shape/size.

Jumping Light Kick (Moving)

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 all all all +1~+14 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Neutral jump version has worse plus frames, Forward/Backward Jump minimum +1 on hit, all versions of jLK can be +14 on hit if done right before you hit the ground. Chibi can instant overhead with this kick, but you’re only mid-air after your hit so you’re kind of a sitting duck. Good cross up button due to hitbox shape/size.

Jumping Heavy Kick (Vertical)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 9 7 19 -2~+14 8 / 10 / 12 / 14 Identical to Jumping Light kick in every way except does twice as much damage. Chibi’s highest damaging air normal due to head hits. Can also be used as an instant overhead but you’re vulnerable after.

Jumping Heavy Kick (Moving)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 4 9 7 24 +1~+14 9 / 12 / 14 / 15 Identical to Jumping Light kick in every way except does twice as much damage. Chibi’s highest damaging air normal due to head hits. Can also be used as an instant overhead but you’re vulnerable after.

Special Attacks

Swinging Marshmallow (LK)

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 9 Landing 35 54 -19~-10/D 8/10/12/14 + Chip:2 Knockdown on hit Big mobility and punish move. Medium risk, high reward as Chibi is a sitting duck if it’s blocked. However, it hits overhead and knocks down. Since it's an air special, you can cancel backdash into it at any time. This is the version you want to use when close to your opponent due to its speed and start up.

Swinging Marshmallow (HK)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 11 Landing 52 52 -28~-19/D 10/13/15/17 + Chip:2 Knockdown on hit This version is much faster with almost twice as much recovery on whiff. Because of its speed and start up, this version will whiff if it’s used too close.

Pink Sugar Heart Attack (LP)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 18 Projectile 36 54 +1~ 10/13/15/17 (charge) + 49 frame charge time Chip: 2 Relatively long hitbox for a slim projectile. Don’t expect to use it for fireball wars. This is, however, Chibi’s only GC option other than Backdash. Very useful in Backdash Meta to gain or help keep a life lead.

Pink Sugar Heart Attack (HP)	Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 23 Projectile 51 74 -14~ 12/16/18/20 (charge) + 49 frame charge time Chip: 3 Faster Fireball, longer recovery, disjointed. Bad fireball.

Desperation Attack

Luna P Attack

Guard Level Startup Active Recovery-Whiff Motion Advantage Dmg/Face/Counter/Both/Chip 28 99 70 145 -13~+15 6/8/9/10 + 27F Guaranteed action, Chip:1 Deals 6 damage every time it connects, 1 chip damage. Luna P bounces in a figure 8 pattern relative to where Chibi was on the screen when she threw it. Throwing Luna P at different heights is a valuable part of throwing your opponent’s chase game off and keeping them locked down. Get used to doing different jump heights, using backdash Luna P, etc. A popular chibi strategy is just lame it out and Luna P for game. If Luna P is active, it can also eat projectiles and keep going, which comes in handy. As it is an air move, you can also do it out of backdash, which is almost necessary to learn if you want to keep the pressure on and discourage your opponent from doing anything. Fair warning; it can be blocked both standing and crouching and if someone has a good GC special, they will try to use it to close the game out. Also if they have a high life lead, you can expect your opponent to just block and run the clock. Things that can beat Luna P: Uranus purposely taking air hits for reversal forward dash to close the gap, Mercury GC HP Bubble, Jupiter Coconut (Jupiter takes an air hit of Luna P), Mars Birds (LP Bird at obvious ranges; GC HP Bird beats Chibis who are going for constant backdash Luna Ps), Moon GC Forward hop into whatever, Chibi infinite backdash, anything with Invincibility _can_ help thread the needle thru it but good luck.

Match-ups

• Vs. Sailor Moon

-Can Neutral Crouch or Forward Crouch under Moon Tiara; Back Crouch causes guard state

-Crouch under all Hearts

-Keep in mind when Moon may be charging Scream as she’s vulnerable after

-Moon’s grabs are good, you may eat one if you slide too much

-Respect Desperation; you can infinite backdash thru it if you’re cornered.

• Vs. Sailor Mercury

-Fast girl, you can’t exactly run away -- Play good footsies

-More coming soon-

• Vs. Sailor Mars

-Mars backdash when cornered is one of her best ways to deal with Chibi corner mixups; react and catch her with slide

-Snakes are pretty scary; if they’re just throwing Snakes in a rhythm, you can GC the heavy version of PSHA to trade with the next Snake; it may not be ideal, but you lower their health while getting close to Luna P

-Luna P is pretty good in this MU so long as you never throw it from the same place twice and you’re not readable; beware of being air thrown out of it

• Vs. Sailor Venus

-If she's charging up ball, she's open to butt slams

-Venus at full screen doesn’t have an answer for Luna P, just throw them out

-Slide under Crescent Beam for free approaches

-You can also PSHA under Crescent Beam and trade

• Vs. Sailor Jupiter

-Jupiter is great at keeping people out of the air, but she’s pretty open to lows

-Stay on the ground; Slide and 2LK tick throws go a long way here

-Respect command grab and lariat, stay on the ground.

-Slide under Thunder Dragon for free approaches

-Don’t forget to stay on the ground.

• Vs. Sailor Chibi Moon

-Chibi's Tick Throw is really good

-Baiting butts and and punishing is also really good

-Slide crosses under Chibi Backdash which can change infinite backdash or just catch people

-Backdash against Luna P if you have the life lead

• Vs. Sailor Uranus

-Luna P is pretty useless here due to air hit reversal forward dash

-Infinite backdash can bait aggressive Uranus players to eating EZ butts/throws

-The cast has to force Uranus to play Neutral, which is really hard for Chibi and her stubby normals; it's possible but expect to eat some infinites.

-More coming soon-

• Vs. Sailor Neptune

-DP and jLK are pretty scary to deal with; you can whiff punish DP but it takes practice

-Fireball is a joke due to her head hitbox covering her arm. If you can bait them into a fireball war, you can butt slam their arm (head) for free.

-When cornered, block low and then change to standing if it’s the overhead; or backdash forever

-Respect her desperation move, it will absolutely blow you up

• Vs. Sailor Pluto

-She doesn’t have any good guard cancels either; stick to her.

-Be careful about how you approach as she has very good pokes

-Once you’re in, just put her thru the mix
