Move List

Normal Moves

5A

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
50	-	All	5	-	-	+1

Standing jab. decent fast poke.

5B

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
90*2	-	Low	5	-	-	+3

Standing kick that has two versions. The close version of 5B hits twice and serves as both a poke and an easy way to hit confirm into either a special or super move. The far version works well as a poke moreso than a way to hit confirm into a special or super.

5C

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
230, 110	-	All	7	-	-	+4

Standing cat scratches. special cancelable.

5D

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
215	-	All	9	-	-	-5

Standing cape toss. great midrange poke.

2A

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
45	-	All	5	-	-	-1

the finger gun of flair. not a very good normal considering Ashley's other tools, but can be used to counter a move that would whiff a crouching Ashley. Still highly recommended to use Ashley's other crouching normals in substitution.

2B

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
75	-	Low	5	-	-	-5

Quick low kick. Good poke and close range combo starter when cancelled into 2C.

2C

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
230	-	All	8	-	-	-2

Crouching upward cat scratch. Decent anti-air due to Ashley's short crouch and the size of the swipe.

2D

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
210	-	Low	7	-	-	-6

Swings his cape at the opponent's feet. Great low midrange poke.

High-hitting axe kick. Ashley's standing overhead.

3D

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv

Finger poke.

210	-	High	-	-	-	-

A downward flip kick. By far Ashley's best meterless move. can be performed any time within a jump, making a fairly quick air approach with good range. In addition to being a combo tool, j.2C can also cross up on whiff creating good mixup potential for Ashley.

j.D

• 

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
265	-	High	-	-	-	-

A slightly disjointed cape swing downwards. Ashley's go-to air-to-air.

  Swoon the masses

Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
250	-	Throw	-	-	-	-

Command throw. A short range grab letting Ashley squeeze in a quick tango with the opponent. Successfully landing it will cause Ashley to glow pink and buff the damage of the next glance wing [236A/C] significantly.

Lovers

63214B/D

• 

Version	Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
C	300	-	Throw	-	-	-	-
D	300	-	Throw	-	-	-	-

Ashley's second command throw in which Ashley leaps forward, latches onto the opponent with his legs and attacks them. A longer range throw that can be a good mixup to lead into knockdown from block pressure. Ashley can be hit while he jumps at the opponent, so use in moderation is advised.

Glance Wing

236A/C

• 

Version	Damage	Cancel	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv
A	270	-	All	-	-	-	-
C	270	-	All	-	-	-	-
Heart	150, 50*4, 140	-	All	-	-	-	-

Ashley dashes forward and swipes through the opponent. typical B&B ender. Steal your heart [63214A/C] increases the damage of the next glance wing input, however the buff will go away regardless of wether the move hit, was blocked, or whiffed.

---

Ashley rushes forward and swipes through the opponent, delivering multiple attacks. much more damage than regular glance wing, and there is no downside apart from the fact that if you use this special you lose the buff no matter what. You'll just have to steal their heart yet again

Judas Wing

B	330	-	High	-	-	-	-
D	360	-	High	-	-	-	-

Romance Wing is a fantastic move, able to cancel into its different versions. Ashley swipes through the opponent gracefully, either on the ground or air. This is a great juggle tool as well as a mobility option. Steal your heart [63214A/C] also increases the damage of Romance Wing's grounded A/C versions, adding even more icing on the cake that is Ashley's heat up moves.
