5A
5AA
5AAA
5AAAA

Jump cancelable.
Throw cancelable.

5A is the fastest move she has and thus it is important for forcing her way out of pressure or getting the first blow in a scramble situation. Can cancel into 2A and back, allowing Ruby to extend blockstrings and enforce a high-low mix with 2A and 5C.

Jump cancelable on hit.
Throw cancelable.

5AA is mostly used as combo or pressure filler. The throw cancel here can be very tricky as it can be as late as the fifth hit in a blockstring which by that point most opponents won't expect a throw. EX: (On block) 2A > 5A > 2A > 5AA > Throw.

Knockdown on air hit.

5AAA has excellent damage and scaling, the highest among all her normals. Its air knockdown property allows Ruby to pull airborne opponents down for full confirms. Frame trapping with this move, and thus using this move as a combo's starter, can result in monstrous damage. This move's only flaw is that it is locked behind two other normals which limits Ruby's ability to abuse it.

Switches sides on hit or block.
Launches opponents backwards on hit.

5AAAA is a fairly poor attack when used solo but is arguably the most degenerate move in her arsenal with an assist or Cross Combo available thanks to the free left / right mix-ups it grants on block, even in the corner. While Reject Guarding 5AAA can make this move whiff mid-screen, it can't stop it in the corner if 5A was done at point-blank range as this move will still reach the opponent. Has identical damage and scaling as 5AAA but is less practical as this move has absolutely zero cancel options, requiring an assist for any sort of extension.

5B

Only you can stop cross-ups.
Yoink.
Go-to launcher.

5B
5BB
5BBB

Jump cancelable.

5B is Ruby's best button for long range pokes, starting combos, and denying cross-ups. Should be used heavily during combos thanks to its good damage and scaling.

Jump cancelable.
Pulls in airborne opponents.

5BB Ccan whiff if 5B hit ax max range. Combo and pressure filler, however if this move hits as the starter via a frame trap, then this move can deal way more damage than just starting with 5B.

Jump cancelable.
Launches on hit.

5BBB can be jump-canceled for combo follow-ups or to reset pressure. Ruby's only jump-cancelable grounded launcher and thus it is very important for all her bread-and-butter combos. However, this move is locked behind two other normals, has no other normals it can cancel into, can whiff if 5BB hit at max range, and is very unsafe if 5BB was push blocked. Use in pressure at your own risk.

Shares the same hitbox and animation as j.C.
Airborne around frame 7 - 10.
On airborne hit, knockdown.
On grounded hit, leads into a timed follow-up.
Follow-up damage, meter gain, oki, and timing changes if partner is available.

Has higher start-up than most 5C's but also has more range and is safe on block. As Ruby's only grounded overhead, this move will see some use as a surprise overhead. Has low invulnerability and fantastic range, making it a good call out tool against opponents who like to throw out staggered lows carelessly. However, the obvious animation and long start-up makes this move easy to disrespect. Since every attack in Ruby's B Smart Combo is jump cancelable, the only time this should be used mid-blockstring is after 2C, a low normal that lacks a jump cancel.

Cancels into itself, even on whiff.
Throw cancelable.

Has an astounding amount of cancel options, including throw, 5A into either a jump or back to itself, and even just itself again on whiff. This is also the safest attack she has due to it being only -2 on block and its low overall frames makes it hard to punish even on whiff. Oh, and it is also a low. 2A should be used in every blockstring possible.

Head attribute invulnerable.
Jump cancelable.

Shrinks Ruby's hurtbox considerably while also making her invincible against air attacks. However, the actual range and angle of the attack makes this move somewhat difficult to use. Good for stopping IAD jump-ins and neutral jumps but gets completely blown up by cross-ups. Not used often in combos as her B Smart Combo actually launches grounded opponents, does more damage, and is safer to use.

Hits low.
Launches grounded opponents.

Universal low that can knockdown opponents. Can be made safe by using Gun Blast. Can only be converted into a full combo by using either Guillotine or an assist, which makes this move difficult to use without resources. Great for metered punish combos as it is Ruby's best practical starter.

Hits overhead.
Knockdown on hit.

Can be done immediately out of a jump to make this an instant overhead. Very strong as it can be special canceled to make the move safe on block or to convert a successful hit into a combo. Doesn't lead into much damage midscreen without resources but can get 5k damage meterless in the corner and above 6k with meter or assists anywhere.

Invincible on start-up.
Hits 3 times.
Launches grounded opponents on hit.
Opponents cannot burst during this attack.
Does 5% minimum damage. 62 x 3 = 186.

Has a diagonal hitbox that hits both in front and behind Ruby. Very good at stuffing cross-ups but very poor at catching opponents in the air directly in front of her, which hurts her as this is Ruby's only air unblockable move. In exchange, this is one of the easier reversals to extend via preemptive assist calls due to the lower than average endlag and high hitstun. Very unsafe on block so don't use this carelessly. The height the opponent was at when they get hit by the final hit alters this move's frame advantage. Against grounded opponents the oki provided is very basic, but at max height Ruby can perform a safe-jump set-up. Cannot be used in mid-air, meaning Ruby has no invulnerable options while in the air.

Cancelable into Gun Blast on hit.
All hits launch opponents away on hit.

Ruby slams her scythe down, then fires two shots, with a delay between the two shots. The initial scythe hit also has a hitbox, and the two follow-up shots are staggered which can making it tough opponents to close in on Ruby. Note that the gap between the scythe swing and the gun shots is enough for opponents to jump out, leaving Ruby wide open to a counter attack so don't use this move carelessly in block strings. Great for Active Switchs as the partner character can move in under the cover of the shots or confirm into a combo from if Ruby successfully hit the opponent. Not very useful in midscreen combos but can lead into a full combo in the corner by using A Gun Blast after any of this move's hits connect.

214A

Launches opponents away on hit.
Wall sticks in the corner.
Can be chained into a maximum of 3 gunblasts, including the initial one.
Ground version can pass through on frames 9~15; Can cancel into another Gunblast on frames 18~25.
Air version can pass through on frames 9~15; Can cancel into another Gunblast on frames 21~23.

Ruby fires in front of herself and is propelled backwards. Has fast start-up and low hitstun, effectively allowing Ruby to disengage from a bad situation at almost any time. Can be canceled into from all normals (except 5C) and special moves, though some special moves only allow this cancel on hit. In the corner, it can combo into 5A against grounded opponents and 5B against airborne opponents.

214B

Launches opponents away on hit.
Wall sticks in the corner.
Can be chained into a maximum of 3 gunblasts, including the initial one.
Ground version can pass through on frames 9~17; Can cancel into another Gunblast on frames 23~26
Air version can pass through on frames 7~15; Can cancel into another Gunblast on frames 16~26

Ruby fires behind herself and is propelled forwards. Used to close the distance between Ruby and her opponent, especially if she is in the air as this attack can set-up cross-ups from a notable distance away.

214C

Launches opponents away on hit.
Wall sticks in the corner.
Can be chained into a maximum of 3 gunblasts, including the initial one.
If Ruby is on the ground, she will be propelled up and forward. If Ruby is in the air, she will be propelled down and forward.
Ground version can pass through on frames 8~15; Can cancel into another Gunblast on frames 19~24
Air version can pass through on frames 10~15; Can cancel into another Gunblast on landing for 6 frames

On the ground, Ruby fires behind herself and is propelled diagonally upwards. In the air, Ruby fires behind herself and is propelled downward. The grounded version allows Ruby to end nearly any combo with safe-jump oki while the air version is used to reach the ground to preform relaunch combos after an aerial A Gun Blast. Both versions can easily side-switch, making it easy to enforce left / right mix-ups.

Final amount of hits depends on how high Ruby was when she began the move.
Air hits drag airborne opponents to the ground on hit.
Landing hit will knockdown opponents on hit.
Gun shot launches opponents away on hit.
Gun shot auto-corrects after cross-ups.
Can special cancel both the landing hit and the final shot into Gun Blast on hit.

Ruby falls while spinning with her scythe, slams it down once she lands, then follows-up with a shot from her rifle. As the B version does more damage per hit, has more air time (and thus deals more hits), and has identical start-up as the A version, it's only viable tool in Ruby's arsenal for ending air combos and since almost every single one of her combos uses launchers she will use this attack to end almost every combo. Opponents don't fall as fast as Ruby, meaning if she is high enough and the opponent is even higher, some of the final falling hits will whiff though the landing hit will still connect. Very easy to follow-up with assists due to the long animation. Note that this attack has somewhat poor scaling and the long animation makes this attack susceptible to combo drops via the depletion of the combo timer so practice combos to avoid unfortunate blow-ups.

The reduced air-time makes the A version better for neutral and blockstrings (especially if an assist is available for Cross Combo sandwich situations) as it gives the opponent less time to react with an anti-air, reversal, or Reject Guard.

Opponent experiences additional 5 hitstop on hit/block and 10 hitstop on counterhit.
10% minimum damage. (80 x 2) + 150 + (40 x 4) = 470.

Ruby pulls opponents in with her scythe before flipping herself upside down to finish with a horizontal slash. Ruby's best scaling special move and her best EX move overall. Can greatly improve the damage of any combo she uses this move in with the increase being greater the earlier she used it. Primarily used in situations where the opponent cannot burst, such as after a burst, reversal, or Cross-Combo, so that Ruby can deal huge damage without being interrupted (which would result in the loss of one bar of meter for no reason).

Switches sides on hit.
Launches opponents on hit.

Dash attack that covers about 70% of the screen. Opponents fall quickly after getting hit which may make confirms off this attack difficult but conserves the combo timer. Very basic when used in combos but incredibly deadly when used for setting-up oki thanks to the guaranteed side switch providing free sandwich situations. Note that unlike the Smart Combo version, this attack cannot switch sides on block.

Launches opponents backwards on hit.

Ruby fires a single shot from her rifle. Compared to a lot of other assist projectiles, this one is a bit lackluster as its single hit nature means that it can't really beat any other projectiles, but it is still useful for covering approaches. Used almost exclusively in neutral due to this move's long start-up and end lag as well as its low damage.

Ruby swings her scythe upward. Good anti-air assist that is also useful for extending combos. As her neutral assist moves her around a lot and her forward assist is slow and weak, this is the recommended assist for Cross Combos.

Ruby cloaks herself in her cape and charges full-screen. If the attack connects, the opponent is struck by the dash's air current and is flung back over Ruby, negating the side switch. On block, no additional attacks are dealt and thus the opponent is free to punish her. As this is Ruby's strongest super, this should be used to finish combos and secure a knock out. Can be used as a reversal, one that some opponents struggle to punish as Ruby will pass through them and recover a fair distance away. However, if this move is Reject Guarded, the opponent will be in the perfect position to start a combo so take note of both what characters the opponent is using and how much meter they have.

Ruby spins her scythe multiple times before slashing the opponent. Ruby's fastest super, making it useful for reversals and combos with tight hitstun. Generally less effective for finishing off characters due to its poor minimum damage. Using a Duo Distortion Skill after the opponent blocks this attack can lead to a mix-up situation if the attack is fast enough, though this is easily beaten by using Reject Guard. On hit the partner can continue the combo though there likely won't be much hitstun left. The opponent may tech out if the partner hits the opponent before the final hit of Ruby's super. Wait for final hit before following it up.

(RB) 100% minimum damage. 300 + (240 x 10) + 300 = 3,000.

Only use this when it will K.O. one of the opponent's characters.

Requires 9 bars of meter, level 4 Resonance Blaze, and the opponent must have one character remaining.
Invincible on start-up.
Grants victory upon a successful hit.

Ruby sticks her scythe into the ground and launches off of it to do a dive kick. If it hits, she drags the opponent into the sky and slices them in half. As this move K.O.s the opponent instantly on a successful hit, this move should be used to end combos whenever possible. It can be used as a reversal but this is a very risky play as this move is hilariously unsafe on block or whiff and consumes all of her meter.

-Ruby pulls opponents in with her scythe before flipping herself upside down to finish with a horizontal slash. Ruby's best scaling special move and her best EX move overall. Can greatly improve the damage of any combo she uses this move in with the increase being greater the earlier she used it. Primarily used in situations where the opponent cannot burst, such as after a burst, reversal, or Cross-Combo, so that Ruby can deal huge damage without being interrupted (which would result in the loss of one bar of meter for no reason). One useful tip is that, if you time it around the opponent's recovery, you can use it for good okizeme situations too!
