If the opponent chooses incorrectly, then they are hit by an attack. There are many different types of mix-ups such as crossup(left/right), high/low, and strike/throw. game. While some of her options are fairly high commitment, learning to use each option in its niche gives Dizzy a strong grounded neutral game, with consistent routing into a knockdown with 2DGuardLowStartup12Recovery33Advantage-17.

Aerials

Dizzy's air game is even better. With a massive super jump, 2 Air Dash options, and a bevvy of air-OK specials, Dizzy uses the air as a key defensive and neutral space, while also having access to long airborne strings with her high air dash momentum.

j.KGuardHigh/AirStartup7Recovery12Advantage- is your main jump in button with long range and good air-to-ground hitbox especially close to the ground.
j.SGuardHigh/AirStartup9Recovery16Advantage- is a very fast and safe disjointed air poke with large vertical range but poor air-to-ground utility.
j.HGuardHigh/AirStartup10Recovery28Advantage- is your primary air block string A series of multiple attacks that work well against a blocking opponent. Generally, a block string will be composed of several plus on block or cancelable attacks performed in quick sequence. When blocked, these will slowly push your character out of range and prevent the opponent from counter-attacking, which makes them a very good default, low-risk option when trying to apply offense. ender, giving plenty of hitstun When a character is hit while standing or crouching, the defender is forced into a stun animation for a set period of time where they are vulnerable to further attacks. This period of time is called hitstun. to gaplessly The number of frames between two attacks in which the defender leaves blockstun/hitstun. e.g. In a 10F gap a 10F move will trade, a 9f or faster move will win, and a 11F move or slower will lose. land and use 2KGuardLowStartup7Recovery9Advantage-1 or combo from your air hits.

Anti Air

As with ground-to-ground toolkit, Dizzy has a set of somewhat specific anti-air options. Each anti-air has their own niche, so experiment if you're struggling to beat a specific move.

6PGuardMidStartup10Recovery19Advantage-9 has universal upper body invulnerability, making it a strong counterpoke and anti-air, with better return on counterhit than 2SGuardMidStartup7Recovery22Advantage-11.
2SGuardMidStartup7Recovery22Advantage-11 has similar speed and upper body invulnerability to 6PGuardMidStartup10Recovery19Advantage-9, but trades horizontal range for vertical.
4SGuardMidStartup8Recovery12Advantage-1, f.SGuardMidStartup9Recovery21Advantage-13, and 5PGuardMidStartup5Recovery12Advantage-4 all have high hitboxes that give them usage as anti-airs as well.

Specials

Summoning Fish

Dizzy's 214P/K/S/H/D specials are commonly referred to by the community as "Fish", and each summon a special projectile with unique properties, as well as being Air OK. Fish are used to cover for Dizzy's approach and for okizeme From Japanese "起き攻め". Attacking an opponent about to wake up after they were knocked down, usually with meaty attacks or mix-ups., but only one can be active at a time.

214PGuardAllStartup60RecoveryTotal 36Advantage- attacks 3 times, with a short wait between each. Great for tick throws A throw done after attacks, very soon after if not exactly when throw invulnerability expires on the opponent. A Tick Throw take advantage of that the opponent naturally expect a Frame Trap coming, making it very hard to react to or escape from. and staggered 2KGuardLowStartup7Recovery9Advantage-1.
214KGuardAllStartup69RecoveryTotal 36Advantage- is similar to 214PGuardAllStartup60RecoveryTotal 36Advantage- but attacks twice from a much longer distance, making it more reliable midscreen.
214SGuardAllStartup73RecoveryTotal 36Advantage- creates a laser that covers the full screen and travels upwards. Mostly for preemptive anti-airs.
214HGuardAllStartup73RecoveryTotal 36Advantage- creates a laser that travels the full screen and covers the ground. If done in the air, it will travel downwards. Usually the best generic Fish choice to cover approach and after scoring a knockdown with 2DGuardLowStartup12Recovery33Advantage-17, but keep in mind it won't hit meaty against most characters.
214DGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 36Advantage- is unlike the others, used primarily as a defensive neutral tool. While most Fish are destroyed on hit, 214DGuardStartupRecoveryTotal 36Advantage- has a shield that, when hit, will cause the Fish to attack the opponent.

Bubbles

Similar to Fish, Dizzy's j.236PGuardAllStartup12RecoveryTotal 24Advantage-/KGuardAllStartup29RecoveryTotal 29Advantage- specials create unique projectiles. Unlike Fish, Bubbles require Dizzy to hit them in order for them to become active, and don't go away if Dizzy is hit by the opponent. Bubbles cause a large amount of block- and hit-stun, making them useful to reset pressure, launch opponents during combos, or encouraging your opponent to respect you in neutral by threatening to pop your bubble. Learning to tiger knee An input method to perform a special move in the air as fast as possible after you leave the ground. Almost always abbreviated to TK. For Example: 2369 for a j.236 input. Bubbles is a crucial part of Dizzy's initial learning curve.

Other Specials

In addition to Fish and Bubbles, Dizzy has a few other specials with variable usefulness.

236SGuardAllStartup13RecoveryTotal 62Advantage-23, AKA "Ice Spike", is a vital combo ender (mostly useful in the corner, or when you need a bit more damage) and launcher when used with Red Roman Cancel for Dizzy's highest damage combos.
236HGuardAllStartup26RecoveryTotal 63Advantage-11 is also primarily a combo ender, giving a hard knockdown in situations where 2DGuardLowStartup12Recovery33Advantage-17 or 6HGuardMidStartup14Recovery34Advantage-22 would whiff.
Dizzy's other specials like 421HGuardAllStartup36RecoveryTotal 48 (uncharged)Advantage+14 or 236PGuardAllStartup17RecoveryTotal 50Advantage-14 are mostly combo filler or zoning The act of denying the opponent the ability to approach, jump, or other movement options. tools, but have niche use in more complex setplay.

Combos

Dizzy's win condition revolves around converting her neutral wins into knockdowns, then using her Summons to force her opponent to deal with mixups To perform a maneuver that forces a defending opponent to choose between two or more options. If the opponent chooses incorrectly, then they are hit by an attack. There are many different types of mix-ups such as crossup(left/right), high/low, and strike/throw.. Dizzy's main tools for this are:

Ending in 2DGuardLowStartup12Recovery33Advantage-17:

Spending Meter

Dizzy has 3 primary uses for meter:

Ice Spike (236SGuardAllStartup13RecoveryTotal 62Advantage-23)/Fish (214P/K/S/H/D) YRC

236SGuardAllStartup13RecoveryTotal 62Advantage-23 YRC is used as a neutral skip, to keep opponents who blocked your mixup To perform a maneuver that forces a defending opponent to choose between two or more options. If the opponent chooses incorrectly, then they are hit by an attack. There are many different types of mix-ups such as crossup(left/right), high/low, and strike/throw. pinned down, or rarely as a call out against spaced pressure resets on defense.
Fish YRC is used to control neutral, set up Fish while still having time to Meaty after a scramble, or for more complex setplay.

Ice Spike (236SGuardAllStartup13RecoveryTotal 62Advantage-23) RRC

Used to cash out for big damage. Since Dizzy is so fragile, it's important to cash out at opportune moments to reduce the number of possible chances your opponent has to escape.
