Overview
Android 18 is a mixup character who uses her plethora of options to crack down the opponents' defense while using Support Attack to keep her safe. Doesn't have many neutral tools, but Barrier is a really great defensive tool that also gives 18 meter when struck and is very insulting to the opponent. Typically seen above 9f delay online.
"You knew you'd lose, but you challenged me anyway. That curiosity is gonna get you killed." | |
Lore: | Abducted by the twisted Red Ribbon scientist Dr Gero, the young twins Lapis and Lazuli were forcibly modified into cyborgs, going by the serial numbers Android 17 and Android 18. The two were given a single task by Gero: Kill Son Goku. Although they betrayed (and killed) their creator, they continued in this task of their own volition, only for their task to be cut short by a greater threat in the form of Cell, who absorbed the two cyborgs to attain perfection. After Cell was defeated, both androids would be restored and reformed, with Android 18 marrying Krillin while Android 17 became a park ranger. |
Playstyle
Android 18 Android 18 thrives off lock-down pressure in tandem with 17 to make opponents crack.
Pros
Cons
- Extra Assist: Support Attack is a powerful offensive tool with several good lockdown, combo, and mix-up qualities. It also has great oki and damage at the corner.
- Suffocating Mix-ups: 214H grants a unseeable 50/50 mix-up during a corner blockstring when done twice, for a total cost of 1 bar.
- Unorthodox Assist: A protects against most normal attacks and lets you steal a turn.
- Command Grab: Light Back Grapple is a fast command grab, and the other versions, although very slow, can be followed up with a combo.
- Poor Range: Normals have short range, resulting in lackluster neutral and approach options without assists.
- Limited Air Options: No aerial abilities outside of applying pressure with Support Attack at close range.
- Defensive Assist: A cannot extend combos by default and doesn't deal damage.
