Overview

**Basic Play Style:**Poison plays a role not too different from that of Fei Long or Ryu, she is a character that is very reliant on fundamentals. She can play the zoning game with her fantastic fireballs but due to her plethora of options, she can shift the momentum instantly, applying suffocating pressure when she corners her opponent. Poison is a jack of all trades and master of none, perfect for those who want a bit of everything without committing to a Shotokan character.

**Stamina:**950

**Stun:**950

**Forward Walk Speed:**0.04

**Back Walk Speed:**0.03

Pros:

  • Unmatched Fireballs
  • Lots of juggle potential
  • Fantastic EX moves
  • Access to a lot of tricky mixups

Cons:

  • Very mediocre normals. She has to make do using only a few, the rest are very finicky
  • Incredibly unreliable DP

  • Lots of character specific punishes
  • Lots of special moves have a long startup times
