Overview

Dizzy is a mobile zoning character that relies on a wide variety of summons in order to start her offense. In the neutral game, her double airdash and good pokes keep enemies honest and give her the space she needs to flood the screen with projectiles. Once she scores a knockdown, those same tools are used to devastating effect to enforce mixups that can open up even the most careful defense. If you like the idea of playing a character that can switch from patient defensive neutral to bloodthirsty mixups at the speed of an airdash, give Dizzy a try!

Strengths

  • Double airdash gives her flexible movement and okizeme options
  • Many zoning tools with great early YRC points; can fight both enemy zoners and rushdown characters with her many specials
  • Overall great damage output and can consistently convert grounded combos into workable knockdowns
  • Okizeme is highly varied, with many different options off common combo enders to keep opponents guessing
  • Bubble is one of the best neutral tools in the game

Weaknesses

  • No reversal without meter and laggy normals means she is exceptionally poor on defense and in scrambles
  • Worst stun modifier in the game means she is dizzied easily (ha ha), plus her defense modifier is mediocre
  • Summoning takes a lot of time, which can make setting up in neutral against fast characters or characters with strong zoning difficult
  • Cannot convert airborne hits into knockdown, even with meter
  • Her normals tend to be laggy on whiff and/or are situational, which means she is punished heavily for positioning mistakes
  • Okizeme is especially vulnerable to defensive options like Blitz Shield and Instant Blocks
  • Reliant on meter to safely keep up pressure, summon in neutral and convert into her damaging combos

Your best friend for pressure
Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv.
24 Mid SJ YRP 6 2 11 +1

Dizzy's c.S is +1, which means it's one of her few normals that lets her do frame traps and pressure resets. Unlike f.S, it's also jump-cancelable, which can create unique opportunities for mixups in oki situations.

Put their meter on ice
Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv.
20*5 Mid S YRP 8 14 12 -4

Dizzy's old f.S. It has 4 hits and every hit is special cancellable, with the fourth one staggering; but it whiffs on crouching opponents except Potemkin and Bedman.

Comes out fairly quickly, has a good horizontal hitbox, does great damage, and it's fairly safe if they stand block the entire thing for some reason. This move's only real weakness is that it whiffs on crouching opponents.

Good as an anti-air dash tool. Can be used as a combo filler after a throw (5K,4S,236S)

5H

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv.
38 Mid S YRP 13 6 15 -4

Generally only useful as combo fodder; although it has a decent hitbox and is generally unpunishable on block, its long startup and long whiff animation means it's usually unnecessarily risky compared to something like f.S.

48 (Normal)
56 (Charged)
Mid S YRP 14 (Normal)
33 (Charged)
7 34 -22 (both versions)

Dizzy's 6H has long startup, is extremely unsafe on block, and despite what the animation may suggest, neither version of it is an overhead. Where 6H shines is in combos; both versions do enormous damage and give hard knockdown on aerial opponents, with the charged version giving a groundbounce that's essential for many of Dizzy's RC combos. Because it's also special cancellable, 6H knockdowns give Dizzy some of the best opportunities to setup okizeme, even better than 2D.

2P

Poke your problems away
Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv.
8 Mid S YRP 6 3 9 -2

Great range for a 6 frame normal, though it doesn't hit low. If you feel like you can mash out of pressure, this is usually the button you're going to use, though the importance of good defense cannot be overstated. Keep in mind when hit-confirming off 2P that it never combos into 2D, even on counterhit.

Essential poke and Dizzy's only low besides 2D. This normal has great range and speed, and it's only -1 on block meaning it's great for pressure.

Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv.
28 Mid SJ YRP 7 3 22 -11

One of Dizzy's main anti-airs, Dizzy drops very low to the ground and her wings extend a nice hitbox above her to stop approaches from above. Though it's not as dominant an anti-air as in previous installments, it still does its job well, and combined with her much-improved 6P you can still anti-air most approaches.

2H

Chop chop
Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv.
36*2 Mid SJ YRP 15 2,4 25 -15

A 2 hit normal with the second hit being a launcher. 2H cannot be combo'd into except on crouching opponents or on counterhit, and its range leaves much to be desired. If the enemy is covered by your summons, then it may be possible to oki mixup into this move. It does good damage and leads to decent follow-ups, so it mostly shines as a strong meterless punish tool for big mistakes like whiffed DPs.

2D

You call that a sweep? THIS is a sweep
Damage Guard Cancel Roman Startup Active Recovery Frame Adv.
34 Low S YRP 12 3 33 -17

Enormous sweep with relatively short startup considering its range, and an important combo ender for Dizzy on grounded opponents as it lets her start her okizeme game. Although its horizontal range is great, it will basically never hit airborne opponents, has few active frames, and is extremely poor on whiff, meaning its use in neutral is more limited than it may appear. Ending blockstrings with 2D is also risky due to its terrible frame advantage and summoning after 2D on block is very unsafe without meter.

Special Moves

Descriptions are highly preliminary; please update with more information as we learn more about the character.

Note that Dizzy has a restriction on having multiple summons of the same type on screen at the same time. You must wait a short period after the previous summon ends before summoning something of the same type. The types are:

Fish - 214P, 214K, 214S, 214H, 214D (and all air versions)

Spear/Dagger - 421S, 421H

Bubble - j.236P, j.236K

Scythe - 236P, 236K

Ice pillar/ice spike. Cornerstone special move used for ending combos and controlling space. Like many of her specials, has an extremely early YRC point that can be used to start pressure or summon. Leads to many of her damaging combos when RC'd. Very unsafe on block.

50 Mid - YRP 28 8 30 -11

Fire pillar. Delayed but more powerful version of 236S. Useful to end aerial combos as the hard knockdown gives Dizzy lots of time to set up okizeme, although outside of counterhit 2D it's not possible to use it in grounded combos. Decently useful as a frame trap to end blockstrings against very active opponents, although it's reasonably minus on block and the slow startup leaves a large gap that can be exploited.

Ice spear/dagger attack with some tracking. Can be used in combos as the summon animation also has a hitbox; a strong summon for Dizzy that should be used frequently. Note that the tracking is relatively weak and tends to miss on fast-moving opponents.

Fire spear/dagger, more powerful and multi-hitting compared to 421S. Useful in some of Dizzy's more damaging combos after RC'ing 236S. Can be held to create up to 3 projectiles; if YRC'd after the initial dagger is created, you can hold the projectiles by holding down H and then release them by releasing H, similar to how Dizzy's daggers worked in GGAC+R.

All versions of fish (214P/K/S/H/D) will absorb a hit for Dizzy, similar to Eddie.

  • P fish chomps three times in front of Dizzy, advancing between each hit. Useful for corner oki and greedy pressure resets with YRC, although because it doesn't track to the opponent like K fish does its usefulness for okizeme is more limited.
  • K fish will track the opponent horizontally before chomping twice. Both P fish and K fish leave gaps in between the hits that can be used to tick throw. K fish is generally better for okizeme midscreen as it will always track to the opponent before starting its attacks.

  • S fish floats forward before moving upwards and firing a laser across the screen. It has occasional use to stop opponents from jumping out of okizeme, especially when used in conjunction with other summons, though it's typically the least-used variant of fish.
  • H fish is similar to S fish except it remains at ground level. This is one of your primary space-control summons and is also useful for okizeme despite not hitting meaty after most grounded combos into knockdown.
  • D fish is unique in that it has no hitbox by default, but must be triggered by getting hit by an opponent's hitbox. Once it's hit, it charges forward with a horizontal homing chomp. Useful to bait opponents mashing and to make neutral awkward for the opponent.

Bubble Set - - - - - 157 - -
Bubble Burst 30 All - YRP 13 4 - -

Bubble. One of Dizzy's most iconic and powerful special moves, Bubble stops Dizzy's aerial momentum to place a large bubble on the screen. The bubble does nothing until Dizzy pops it with any attack, where it will then explode, knocking the opponent up in the air. Bubble is useful in Dizzy's most damaging combos, to set up highly damaging fuzzy guards, and as an essential part of her neutral game where she can place a bubble, airdash away and pop it to protect her escape. You can hold 2 after summoning the bubble to make it drift downwards instead of straight forward. By doing TK Bubble low to the ground, Dizzy can start an extremely low airdash without jumping into the air first which is a key part of many okizeme setups.
