Sailor Moon S/Sailor Neptune
Character Overview
Neptune is often miscategorized as the shoto of the game due to her having a fireball and a DP. After playing enough Sailor Moon however, you come to realize you can not play a shoto playstyle with her due to the game’s guard cancel mechanics and Neptune’s questionable fireball, undoubtedly her biggest weakness in a game where everyone has at least a decent fireball. Instead, Neptune thrives off of cornering opponents and mixing them up, as well as having a frame 3 invincible dragon punch with a hitbox the size of old Ken’s entire body that can get any character off you if they are too close. Good normals, a standing overhead, and the 3rd fastest walk speed in the game round off the character. Solid fighting game fundamentals will get you far with the Neptune at first, and a good understanding of matchups will allow you continue even further with Neptune. If you like outplaying your opponent and not spamming fireballs, then start practicing your dragon punch inputs.
Strengths:
• Ridiculously good DP
• High damage output (combos that do half a heath bar)
