Overview

Overview

Neo is an agile character that can apply pressure with her quick attacks and chain each strike into long combos. She is a strong midair fighter and has many attacks that can launch and keep her opponents in the air. Neo can also surprise opponents by teleporting from different sides of the field and attacking blind spots before chaining each attack with another combo.

"..."

Lore:

Neo is the silent right-hand woman of Vale's crimeboss, Roman Torchwick. No matter what mission he had for her, she followed his orders without question and is extremely loyal to him. While she is not particularly talkative, her actions and expressions are enough to show what she's thinking. After her boss is killed during the fall of Beacon, Neo is dead set on making whoever was responsible for Roman's death pay and set out on a quest to seek revenge.

 Neo Politan

Pros

Cons

• Good Cross-ups. Can quickly switch sides on the fly.
• Fast attacks that can be looped for longer combos.
• Strong element of surprise when properly utilizing 214a/b/c teleporting moves as attacks can be low, overhead, or a parry.
• Strong Jump Cancel game with extended airtime and extra jumps with Parasol Descent.
• Suspension of Disbelief is a strong Command Grab super with no Super flash. It can act as a combo starter or extender.
• Incredible reset potential including Fast overheads, fuzzy loops, teleports from 4 different directions, solo air unblockable routes, and mainly, Suspension of Disbelief
• 236B/C Are great gap closers by themselves being only -4, but they're even better once you know they can low profile most projectiles (And some moves i.e. Mitsuru's Droit, hakumen's 5b... etc)

• Poor assists that sends single projectiles that can easily be destroyed
• Low damage and large damage falloff when long combos are achieved.
• 214 specials take time to cast as the taunt always applies first before the actual attack hits.
• Poor projectiles that have low durability against other attacks or Personas. This also applies for Overactive Devastation to a lesser extent, easily being blocked by Personas.
• Whiffing Suspension of Disbelief will force Neo to stop and sigh, leaving her very vulnerable open to attacks.
• Parasol Descent is a hard move to incorporate as, besides its parry version, its only use is to grant Neo an extra jump as well as to let her descend slowly.
• Low minimum damage on both of her supers and using Suspension of Disbelief as a combo extender is generally a waste of bars.

Neo's semblance allows her to create physical illusions that can be seen or touched by everyone. Using this, she gives off the illusion of teleporting. In gameplay, her semblance allows her to almost instantaneously teleporting around the screen, surprising her opponents by attacking from their blindspots.

Normal Moves

5A

5A

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag 5A 5AA 5AAA 5AAAA Jump cancelable. Neo strikes her opponent with her parasol and ends with a series of flip kicks. 5A and 5AA Are jump cancelable 5A is a surprisngly bad move. At 10 frames, it comes out a lot slower than the rest of the casts 5A's, with a lot less range. In comparison, Ruby's 5B is 10 frames and significantly outranges it What this means is, 5A is a TERRIBLE round start option unless you know that your opponent doesn't have a quick/lengthy move to contest you. So avoid doing it 5A is usefull for getting your jump cancel so you can start your mixups, and is gennerally your best starter for your combos

5B

5B Free launches with a small chance of rain

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag 5B 5BB 5BBB Jump cancelable at 5B 5BB can launch Neo strikes the opponent with her open parasol. Avoid using 5B outside of combos, it can be usefull in a blockstring to get you closer to your oponent since 5B will make you walk forwards slightly 5B is a great stabilizing tool for stray aerial hits, this is because 5B brings them down to the ground, at the perfect height so that you can follow up with 2C and get your combos going

5C

5C	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo performs an overhead arc kick. Strong reach and quick.

2A

2A	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo pokes the ground with her parasol. Very quick and decent reach. Very important button for Neo gameplay, easily her best normal, you are always going to be using this, in neutral, to combo after 214A,to frame trap with J.236A, or even make a true blockstring with j.236C

2B

2B

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo kicks up, letting her make a small leap into the air. If you ever played Yang, Jubei, or Adachi, this is kinda the same thing as their anti air... but worse, neo cannot jump cancel 2B on block, but she can special cancel it, leaving you options on what to do if they block it. Be carefull when using it as an anti air, as neo walks forward slightly, and it can (and will) whiff against certain jump ins

2C

2C

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Standard Launcher Jump cancellable on 2nd hit Neo sweeps her opponent with her parasol and launches the opponent into the air with a spin kick. First things first, don't you EVER use this on block, i will slap you if i see you using this on a solo blockstring Neo's 2C is a versatile move, and its your go to launcher for all your combos, you're either sending them down with 5B before you send them up again with 2C, or you're using it after a ground starter to get your combo starting 2C hits twice, but has a gap in between the hits, this is actually usefull for her gameplan, since having a gap, enables active switch mixups, and makes this a really good tool to use in cross combo sandwich situations, but if you're alone, don't ever use this as a mixup, if you get pushblocked and it whiffs, you're in for a world of hurt

j.A

j.A	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag j.A j.AA Jump Cancellable Neo Slashes with her closed umbrella in the air. Fast air normal, this is your best round start option, really good Air to air tool, but has horrible scaling and it will kill your damage. Its simple, use this for neutral, don't ever use this in a combo (unless you would like to do literally 0 damage per normal, thanks colpe)

j.B

j.B Get ready to delay a LOT	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag j.B j.BB Jump cancellable Neo kicks and strikes the opponent downward with her Parasol. Your go to jump-in and cross up attack. Delaying the second j.BB is pretty much essential to all of Neo's combos so you better get down the timing. Seriously. It's not even funny how much this move is used in combos.

j.C

j.C	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo axe-kicks the opponent down into the ground. Can be special canceled on hit This is a really decent mixup button, its not an instant overhead, but its close enough, not only that, but its a huge enabler on future mixups, and leads to okay damage, its safe on block, but if you use this and they block it, your turn is over

Universal Moves

Ground Throw

Ground Throw 5B+C	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo grabs the opponent, twirls on their heads, and uses their weight to throw them forward. Very simple grab, both 6 and 4 versions leave the oponent in a OTG state for a little bit, allowing you to walk forward and combo with 5A anywhere on the screen. Most combos should work here.

Backlash

Backlash 5A+D	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo axe kicks her opponents to the ground. Quick execution and recovery with decent iframes. Can knock airborne opponents into the ground. If it hits on counter-hit and the opponent was high enough in the air, you can link into 2A and continue your combo. Berry situational though.

Skills

Illusory Charge

Illusory Charge/Illusory Strike 236A/B

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag A B B > A/B/C Neo sends a clone of herself to strike forward as a projectile. Her B version will send herself and allows a follow up on hit or on block. The C version follow up will Wall bounce or Wall slam and allows Neo to continue the combo Get used to this move, if you want to have optimal damage on your combos, you're using 236B>5A links, you can rely on it as a gap closer, its safe on block, but don't do the follow up if you're not confident in the hitconfirm, its VERY punishable The B and C versions of Illusory Charge can low profile a good majority of projectiles. Honorable mentions include Yukiko 5B fans and Nu 5B swords.

Stealth Blitz

Stealth Blitz/Striking Stance/Stealth Sweep 214A/B/C They all start like this Easiest 50/50 of my life

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag A B C Neo taunts her opponent and strikes overhead or at their feet. Stealth Blitz will have Neo attack from above. On hit, you can use 2A to link into a combo. If the opponent is air-dashing, there's a good chance that the move will hit cross-up. On block, this move is "relatively" safe if your opponent doesn't have a fast jab. On chicken block? You done messed up son, get ready to eat fist. Striking Stance is a parry that counters all attacks, including throws and supers, and teleports Neo directly behind the opponent if an attack hits during her taunt. Note that there is a small delay after she teleports so if your opponent threw out a meaty move that has a big hitbox before then, there's a good chance you're gettin' SMACKED for reading your opponent correctly. Stealth Sweep will have Neo strike low into a hard knockdown. Costless and can chain combos quickly upon hit. If Neo tags the opponent in the air though, it's only a soft knockdown and the opponent can recover as soon as they touch the ground. A and C versions always lose to DP, supers on reaction, and chicken blocking if you didn't do the move before a hard knockdown (eg. 5B on air hit) so have your assist cover you, or throw in the parry every now and then to keep opponents on their toes.

Swooping Illusion

Swooping Illusion/Plunging Illusion j.236A/B

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag A B Neo dive kicks her opponents and teleports. 236A will have her teleport to the ground with a slight delay. 236B will allow her to teleport above the opponent, which is best applied during midair combos. On block, the A version is fairly safe but your pressure ends unless you have an assist or your opponent is giving you mad respect. The B version can actually be used as a DP bait since you still have your airdash. The C version is positive and pretty good for continuing pressure or for converting an air combo back to the ground. If you have an assist on deck, you can even create a sandwich mixup free of charge! Nice!

Parasol Descent

Parasol Descent/Illusion j.214A/B "I'm Mary Poppins y'all"	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag A B Neo opens up her parsol and floats back down to the ground, stalling her jump momentum. A version is cancelable with an attack. B version is a parry that let's her teleport behind her opponents like Striking Stance. Be warned, there is HELLA landing recovery animation on a whiffed parry. Looks neat though.

Pinwheel Flip

Pinwheel Flip 66 MvC Captain America would be proud	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo dodges forward and let's her switch sides if she's close enough to the opponent. This move has some projectile invincibility, but can be stuffed by quick jabs on reaction.

Extra Skills

EX Illusory Strike

EX Illusory Strike 236C	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag 236C 236C > A/B/C Neo sends a clone of herself to strike forward as a projectile. This version will cause Wall bounce if you're not in the corner or Wall slam if you are. Both cases allow Neo to chain a new combo, but you may have to adjust depending on the height you hit your opponent at.

EX Parasol Descent

EX Parasol Descent j.214C I heard you like jump cancels?	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Whenever Neo uses EX Parasol, you gain an extra jump. Has the quickest recovery and start-up out of all the three parasol moves.

EX Sweeping Illusion

EX Swooping Illusion j.236C	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo quickly dive kicks her opponents and teleports. This will instantly send Neo to the ground and allow her to chain combos quickly after the opponent nears her range. If you have bar and Neo is your last character, this is the best move to throw out in neutral on a hail Mary hit.

Partner Skills

5P

5P Illusory Charge	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo sends herself instead of a clone doing the same attack as 6P. Attack comes out wherever the opponent is, so it won't travel full screen unless the opponent is full screen.

6P

6P Illusory Strike

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo sends a clone of herself as a projectile. Attack comes out wherever the opponent is, so it won't travel full screen unless the opponent is full screen. A good candidate for active switching since Neo is usually far away enough from the point character that whatever your opponent does on reaction (DP, mash,etc.) makes her safe. Unless they mash full screen beam super, then in that case, eject the disc, put it in the box, go back to Gamestop, get your $2.52 refund and Ggs.

4P

4P

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo sends a diving clone in front of her that causes a guaranteed ground bounce and is good for extending combos. Unlike the rest of the cast who's 4P is an anti-air, you should never try to use this as an anti-air unless you actively dislike ice cream and just want to see her suffer you jerk. Outside of combo extensions and tagging bursts, this move is, quite honestly and frankly speaking, kinda garbage.

Distortion Skills

Overactive Devastation

Overactive Devastation 236B+C "Go forth and conquer" - Alfred Lord Tennyson, to the scrub he was wasting in pools. The hat is so cute on her

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo sends a clone to strike the opponent. Upon hitting, she will instantly move in and strike her umbrella twice before slamming it down. During Resonance mode or when performing a cross combo, Neo will add an extra hit by having a clone kick the opponent away. The projectile reaches a good range and is durable against a good amount of projectiles, but will still be destroyed by things such as Personas or assists. Specifically, if there's a Persona active and in front of the opponent, there's a damn good chance that your special will only destroy the Persona and not actually hit the opponent. Use carefully. On a side note, Overactive Devastation is probably one of the least damaging supers in the game to use in a combo, so more often than not, you're going to have to burn an extra 2 bars to DHC and kill.

Suspension of Disbelief

Suspension of Disbelief 214B+C I am mashing this on wake up like the scrub I am surprisedpikachuface.jpg

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo grabs her opponent and throws them forward. During resonance mode or when performing cross combos, Neo will add in an extra kick that will bounce them back towards you. This attack is chainable to combos and is easily one of her best moves due to the fact that it doesn't notify opponents that the move has been used until it hits or misses. It can also bypass many attacks, such as letting her grab Yang mid Distortion skill. The attack is best used when closing in as the attack is practically unguardable. However, if Neo does not reach her target or the target jumps, it will miss. And when it misses, Neo will stagger and sigh. During this time, she is extremely vulnerable. Use caution when using this skill.

Distortion Skill Duo

Overactive Devastation P during Main Character's Distortion Skill

Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo sends a clone to strike the opponent. Upon hitting, she will instantly move in and strike her umbrella twice before slamming it down. When performed during a cross combo, Neo will add an extra hit by having a clone kick the opponent away. The projectile reaches a good range and is durable against a good amount of projectiles, but will still be destroyed by things such as Personas or assists. Use carefully.

Astral Heat

Shattering Skewer 222B+C "Kill for kill, eye for eye, blood for blood..." "IT'S TIME TO DIE"	Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag Neo charges in and assaults her opponent with a barrage of illusions before pulling out her parasol blade and skewering them.
