Jump cancelable during any one of the 3 hits making it a dangerous burst point for the opposing player. Hits balls directly upward, but will rarely see use for hitting balls because it is a proximity normal. Excellent for option selecting with forward throws (6S+H). Sometimes useful as an anti-air, with good reward on counterhit. Gatling Options: 6P, f.S, 2S, 5H, 5D, 2D Note: the last hit whiffs on most crouching characters.

Venom's far slash is excellent for controlling space. Though Venom reaches his hurtbox forward during f.S it is pretty fast and covers a great distance. At max range it can be used to cancel into a ball set in order to get balls on screen when normally one would not have time to do so. f.S becomes especially useful when combined with a ball hit which improves the frame advantage.

A standard 5D with a unique gimmick attached. When Venom's dust attack hits a ball the ball will travel until it either hits a target or touches the wall.

2K is Venom's go-to low and is tied for his fastest button with c.S. 2K is most frequently used to open the enemy up before following up with c.S, tick-throw, or some other form of mixup. Good speed, decent range, and fair recovery make it a decent low poke. Hits balls low to the ground with low speed. 70% proration. Gatling Options: 6P, c.S, f.S, 2S, 2H, 5D, 2D Note: 2K's hitbox is low enough and shallow enough that it will not hit uncharged balls in any of the standard formations. It requires non-standard situations such as charged carcass raid balls or BRO or something else in order to be used as a ball launcher.

The first of 2H's two level 3 hits is a low. These attributes makes 2H a solid filler move for blockstrings. The first hit will catch low profile moves such as Sol's Grand Viper, and the second hit can be a situational anti-air. First hit launches balls low to the ground with high speed. Second hit launches balls upwards at a 45° angle with high speed. Gatling Options: 5D, 2D

2D is a reliable way to get a knockdown when one is unable to combo into 6H or QV. 2D is also a great unprorated combo starter under niche circumstances, such as when one has charge stored for Carcass Raid in the corner, and in certain midscreen setups. 2D can also be used as one of Venom's better abare buttons due to its speed, low profile, and good reward on CH, however, the recovery is CH state and is therefore dangerous to whiff. Generous low profile and upper body invulnerabilty. Fast and 2 hits the second of which has additional range. Good Range. High reward in the corner with 2D(1) sCR.

A 6P so good that it has become a meme. 6P is a reliable anti-air and occasional poke. Although 6P can gatling into many of his other buttons, it cannot combo into 6H on normal hit and must be jump canceled into an air combo. On counter hit 6P combos into 6H for a free knockdown. When combined with a ball hit, 6P has enough hitstun to combo into 6H. 6P is also useful to counter-poke a large variety of moves such as I-No's Chemical Love, and Johnny's Level 3 Mist Finer with varying °s of risk. Generous upper body invicibility Sends balls upwards at an angle with moderate speed. Inconsistent ability to hit crouching opponents.

6H is a move with many uses, and some drawbacks. 6H is very unsafe on block and needs to be special canceled to make it safer. 6H also does not cover directly next to Venom, and as such is not a very reliable way to hit approaching enemies. Can be used as a decent anti-air near f.S range. Is one of Venom's essential combo enders. In the corner often combos into QV. Hits balls with the greatest speed of all his buttons. Has a very large hitbox allowing Venom to hit with it from very far away.

j.K is a very useful button for hitting balls due to its large number of active frames, and large hitbox.

Venom's j.D covers 160 °s around him reaching past both of his knees, and far above his head. j.D has some use during oki after j.H knockdown, and in uncrouchable setups. j.D is a very useful combo tool because it keeps the enemies airborn with its long untech time. Pops opponents up slightly into the air. Launches on counterhit. Hits balls upward into the air quickly and the ball can then bounce off the ceiling and travel downward.
