Overview
Overview
Moon has strong mixups and setplay options with Heart and forward hop. Moon also has very solid projectile game in neutral -- with Tiara coming out and recovering very fast -- as well as back dash Heart allowing her to bait and punish jump ins like you would with a DP. She also has two very good throws.

Moon uses her strong projectiles and unique movement to create strong vortex gameplay.
Pros
Cons
- Zoning: Tiara and Heart are both great projectiles with different uses that compliment Moon's other tools well and give her strong full screen game.
- Forward hop: Her unique dash jump gives her a way to escape corner pressure and, paired with Heart, opens up unique mix ups and setplays to her.
- All-rounded protagonist: Having two projectile, good mobility, very nice normals, great throws and a Flash Kick, Moon is a character with tools for every occasion.
- Technical to a fault: Not only she's most likely the hardest character to master in the game, but not being careful with your inputs might cause you to get a forward hop when you most likely don't want it.
- Dead zones: While her projectiles are great, some characters have an easy time dodging them, making Moon helpless when that happens.

A solid button with good range, damage, and startup. The recovery is rather poor though so you pretty much always want to cancel this on block/hit while also making sure to never whiff.

This button would be okay but it is a mid which means it is outshined by c.LK which hits low. Other than hitting mid this button is very similar to c.LK
