Overview

Overview

Although she has limited reach, Linne is a fast character that can cross the screen quickly, especially on the ground. Her Kuuga projectile is a powerful neutral tool from midrange capable of controlling space very well and making the opponent more cautious about their approach or attempting to try and keep her out when they're within range. She also has the unique ability to triple jump for greater control of aerial movement and timing, especially with j.Kuuga's all-around extreme usefulness.

Linne

Linne uses her fast movement and Kuuga's ability to control space in order to close the gap and start applying pressure.

Pros

Cons

Fast movement and normals
Great 5B with large disjointed hitbox that doubles as an anti-air and a launcher
Strong neutral game with the use of air Kuuga
Only character that can triple jump

Extremely low damage
Offers very weak assists, making her primarily a point
No fullscreen attacks, so she might have a hard time punishing fullscreen supers despite her speed
Jump height is shorter than most, to make up for having more of them

EXS of Rapid Drive: Speed Star

Linne's EXS significantly increase her speed. She has a triple jump and dash cancels on specific moves.

By inputting 66, Linne can dash cancel the following moves:

Smart Combo 1 - 4th move (5AAAA)
Smart Combo 2 - 3rd and 4th move (4AAA and 4AAAA)
Smart Combo 3 - 3rd move (5BBB)
Ground versions of Kuuga

Dash cancels can be canceled into Whirlwind.

4AAAA	1100×2	All	13	5(8)4	20	-5	B

Linne's fastest normal and move in general. Its primary use is mashing out of untrue block strings. Also used in certain combos as a link where all of her other normals would fail.

Can be jump cancelled on hit or block.

Combo filler

Same as 5AAAA except you can't go into Cross Raid so you will never use it.

5A's fast startup and cancel options makes it your go-to combo or pressure starter.

Can jump cancel on hit/block
Can't be low-profiled despite the animation.

Mostly combo filler but can also go into throw.

Will usually just be used so you can go into 5AAAA for Cross Raid.

Used solely for Cross Raid.

5BB	1500	All	13	4	22	-9	B
5BBB	1700	All	21	5	25	-11	B

5B's every bit as massive and disjointed and is now a proper anti air with head invul. It launches upwards making it very useful for combos.

Follow-up from 5B. Only really used for linking into 5BBB or loops.

5B auto combo ender that can be chained into other normals. Useful for ending combos as it knocks down and can be jump cancelled, leading into a safe jump. Be careful using this in blockstrings however, there's a gap between 5BB and this, letting the enemy get supers and DPs off if they're quick enough.

Knocks down airborne opponents.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
1700	Low	12	6	24	-11	F

A long-range sweep. Great for footsies and as an oki ender to combos. Unsafe on block but can be reverse beat into 2A to make it safe and continue pressure.

j.A	1500	High	11	4	15		H
j.AA	1200	High	8	2	18		H

An air button mostly used in combos. Its small range, slow startup and the fact that j.B is one frame slower and has a larger hitbox make it that this move has little use in neutral. It can be used as a fuzzy after a deep j.B.

j.AA is used solely as combo filler or as a double overhead.

j.236B	1500	All	26	20	Total: Until L+13L		P1

Linne's trademark move. Good projectile for zoning and controlling space at the midrange. The ability to dash cancel and cancel that dash into 214A lets you stay mobile while using it. It's also useful for her combos.

Ground Kuuga can be dash cancelled on hit, block and whiff.

236A

Ground A version goes a shorter distance and has slower startup but has faster recovery making it safe on block. In combos, you'll be doing this version most of the time.

236B

Ground B goes up to halfscreen and has faster startup but worse recovery making it unsafe unless spaced. When you're not using air Kuuga, this will be the version you use in neutral.

Air Kuuga is Linne's best move. It can serve as cover for you to approach, stop your opponent from approaching or hit them outside of their range. It's plus on block when tiger kneed making it great for starting pressure and resetting it if your opponent respects it. On top of that, it's used as both a combo starter and an extender.

Learning to tiger knee is one of the first things you should do if you want to main Linne.

j.236A

Air A has faster startup and goes at a 40-degree angle. This is the version you'll use in combos and pressure.

j.236B

Air B version has slowed startup and goes at a 70 degree angle. This is the version you'll want to use in neutral due to it having better horizontal range.

Whirlwind - Fuurin

214A

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
				29			5~13 HBP

Linne's classic dashing roll. It has invincibility which makes it useful for dodging projectiles or attacks. It can also go through the opponents so it's useful to setup sandwiches and cross ups with assist.

Dash cancels can go into 214A before their are completed.

Level	P1	P2

Press assist or no combo

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
1000×3	All	9	3	25	-11	B

Follow up from 214A. Used as a combo ender as it can go into a safejump. Can also be used to make it harder to react to a sideswitch at the cost of requiring an assist to combo. Is unsafe on block so use an assist to cover it.

214[B]	1700	Low	21	4	23	-10	B

214B

214B is your go-to overhead attack as it's faster than 5Cand has slightly better frame advantage with the downside of needing an assist to combo. Outside of that, it's used in combos and as well as blockstring, especially during cross combos as it's great for a left/right mixup.

Linne is airborne during the middle of the attack letting her go over lows and throws. (She doesn't have any actual invincibility)

214[B]

A low attack. A great combo starter, best used for punishing DPs. Can also be used as a fakeout from the uncharged 214B although it should not be your go-to mix up. Rember it's unsafe on block so have an assist at hand.

236C

236C is a great move mainly used in pressure. Pointblank, it's 0 on block normally and +9 when dash cancelled.This lets you continue your blockstring without leaving a gap in it which lets you keep your opponent in blockstun without giving them any options besides pushblock.

You can also use it for combos as it deals good damage and gives you good corner carry. Not used in neutral often as it costs meter and 236B will usually get the job done.

Has the same startup and recovery as 236B
Hits 3 times

j.236C

Air EX Kuuga is a great all-round move used in neutral, combos and pressure. Goes at an angle in between the A and B versions. Very plus on block when tiger knee and is used in some of Linne's more high damage combo routes.

Linne spins her sword around multiple times before creating a geyser. This is your go-to super reversal. It deals more damage than 214B+C when done raw but deals less damage in combos. It's great for double supers due to its long duration.

The backward swing Linne performs at the end of the attack has a hitbox.

If Linne is too far from the opponent, she will run up to a set distance to get to them. Linne is not a great archor due to her low damage and if she is in Resonance Blaze, she wants to spend the meter on EX Kuuga anyway so her Astral is pretty situational. Still, if you need to you combo into it from 5BBB and Heaven's Lynchpin.
