BBTag/Elizabeth

Overview

Elizabeth is mostly a midscreen-heavy zoner with a high-risk-high-reward gameplan. Wielding strong zoning options alongside sturdy combo routes, she especially shines when she reaches awakening, but must play carefully upon reaching it without the resources for Diarahan. Her lack of an overhead (sans 5C) causes her mixup to be weakened, but her powerful okizeme tools and crushing pressure makes her a force to be recokned with. Making use of her incredible range and excellent stagger pressure to poke out and bait the opponent, anyone can dominate a match with her.

Elizabeth Elizabeth

Pros

Cons

Far-reaching normals which can pull your opponent towards you.
High meter gain with Mind Charge.
Semi-fast projectiles
Strong oki game
One of the most damage-heavy solo zoners
Respectable combo damage
All of her specials allow for extensions
Almost all of her Persona attacks disjoint
Strong throw game

NO OVERHEADS aside from Clash (j.A is technically an overhead but this is rarely useful)
Slow ground movement
Very Persona reliant
Life or death playstyle

When Elizabeth is at low health (around 30%), she enters Awakening. Elizabeth's moves gain several upgrades during Awakening that improve her combos and zoning. Awakening lasts for the remainder of the match.

She can use Mind Charge to convert her health to meter and force herself into Awakening.

Afterwards, she can tag out or use Diarahan to heal herself as well!

Normal Moves

4A

A little bop!
A little swirl!
A little tornado!
A little chilly, huh?

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute
4A	1000	All	8	2	14	-2	B
4AA	300×6	All	12	2×6	23	-8	B
4AAA	300, 200×8	All	10	22	Total: 43	-16	B
4AAAA	2500 [500, 3000]	All	23	1 [1(1)1]	48 [46]	-18 [-16]	B

4A is pretty decent poke due to its speed, but nothing special.

4AA is just combo filler.

4AAA Elizabeth blows out a single card. If it connects, the opponent is subject to an attack where they're surrounded by a vortex of cards. The animation is quite long, making it ideal for a cross combo scenario or a swap. You can even cancel this with your DP and continue the combo, since the vortex is independent of Elizabeth's actions once it's out!

4AAAA Becomes stronger in Awakening. Encases the opponent in ice on hit, leaving elizabeth at +5, allowing for restand mixup.

5AAAA	350×10 [300×16]	All	12	2,5×9 [2,3×14,5]	Until L		P1

On hit or block, 5A drags the the opponent to her, making it an excellent poke that can start your pressure. Due to its lengthy recovery, though, you shouldn't carelessly throw this out.

5AA is a wave of cards. Combo filler.

Due to 5AAA's lengthy animation, this is also ideal for partner shenanigans.

5AAAA is a move that's similar to her 236A. Similar is the key word here, as it sends the opponent away instead of upwards, and this won't change even in Awakening. You won't really use this unless you want to Cross Raid.

5BBB	1700 [2000]	All	19	7	Total 64	-27	P1

5B has pretty great range, making it a nice tool to have in neutral. Jump-Cancelable on hit as well!

5BB is combo filler. 5B>5BB has a natural gap in it, making it an easy frame trap. You can use this fact to your advantage by conditioning your opponent to block, and then using 5B again.

5BBB is similar to Maziodyne. It's not exactly Maziodyne, though, meaning that it doesn't gain Maziodyne's buffs. However, you can combo into Maziodyne from it.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
0×2, 2000, 1000×2	Throw	30	6	Total 48		T

This can only be done from either 5B or 5BB. A command grab, but not a hitgrab, so you can't combo into it. An important tool for Liz's mixup game, as you can combo from it from 2A when not in the corner. Mix this in with your other mix-up tools to keep your opponent guessing.

5B > 2C

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
2000	Low	18	9	Total 60	-12	F

Hits low, and can only be done from 5B or 5BB. Only special or super cancellable, meaning you'll have to spend meter to get much damage out of this. If you notice your opponent jumping out from 5B to avoid getting grabbed by 5B>5C, using this will catch their jump frames. It also beats mashing if you happen to notice them pressing buttons to break Thanatos, but remember that 5BB naturally does this as well.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
1500	All	9	18	13+10L	-24	B	6~29 H

Anti-air and combo tool. 9f startup is actually pretty good for an anti-air, but the hitbox on this thing can be a bit awkward to get used to. For combo purposes this button is used a lot after 5AAA, typically you'll go into j.A>jc>j.AA>j.B>2A and continue the combo from there.

3	90	70

2C

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
1500	Low	11	15	8	-6	F

Hits low, surprisingly fast and active. Generally doesn't see much use in blockstrings as Liz has safer ways to go about trying to open someone up. Still, a low is a low. Primary use is as combo fodder, notably can be used after hitting an airborne opponent with 5AAA to continue the combo with either 4A or another 5A. Long active frames lets it be very plus when used for oki.

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	On-Block	Attribute	Invuln
0×2, 2000, 1000×2	Throw	18	4	Total Until L + 6L		T

Airthrow that allows for extensions using 2A. For use when your opponent is jumping around like a moron. Also usable as a combo tool, most notably from 5B. Can also be special canceled, allowing for a 214A follow-up, or for a Mind Charge extension.

Though this move has sizeable startup, has decent frame data, tracks, and can sideswitch. The wind hitbox also eats projectiles. Have fun.

The awakening version is comboable on hit. Hitting an assist makes this move plus.

Shoots two lasers in awakening and becomes taller. Chips a bit. Great as a neutral/active switch tool, as well as tacking on extra damage if you do the full 5B string. If Thanatos gets hit, Liz will stand there posing in counter hit state for the rest of the move, so be careful to not let that happen. Air version becomes plus if done close to the ground.

Outside of Awakening this works as a servicable anti air, but you are usually better off using 2B. In Awakening, it moves fullscreen and freezes, letting you combo if you are close, go for a reset, or cancel into Ghastly Wail if the opponent is too far and you are in Resonance. Overall a great special. Thanotos is also invincible to projectiles while moving, making this a good anti-zoning tool in Awakening.

Drains Elizabeth’s health and converts it to meter. Allows her to enter Awakening if her health is low enough, though it naturally also means that she will have low health when this happens. The health drained is shown as red health, meaning it can be restored if she tags out for long enough, though this means that you have to be really careful when using Partner Skills/Cross Combo or else Elizabeth will be KO’d really easily.

Counter astral, with the added benefit of being able to confirm into it much like Hakumen's. The confirm is stupidly easy, going seemingly fullscreen. If you hit someone while you're in resonance, landing this thing is actually rather simple with Elizabeth's high meter gain.
