{{Bio
Sol has a tool for every situation, but some tools are better than others.  His primary goal is to get up close and personal where his options are scariest. To get in he can use Gun Flame to cover his approach when Roman Cancelled. Sol has some powerful buttons up close: {{clr|2|5K}} is a 5f poke that can be used as a 6f anti air and {{clr|5|2D}} is a fast low profile sweep.  
| name = Android 21
| game = DBFZ
| quote = Don't you dare interrupt my valuable snack time!
| lore = A mysterious new Android who is somehow connected to Android 16. In her default form, she's a young woman with long, bushy hair, who wears glasses and is supposedly as smart as Dr. Gero, perhaps even more so, and her transformed state being similar to that of Majin Buu, with the ability to turn others into sweets, and an insatiable hunger. She acts as the primary antagonist in ''Dragon Ball FighterZ'' Story Mode.
}}
 
===Ability Absorption===
Android 21 has a unique ability where she can use her Connoisseur Cut specials to absorb the energy of an opponent and use one of their abilities.


There are 4 slots above Android 21's bar of meter. Each one of these slots corresponds to a version of Connoisseur Cut. From left to right, the slots are for:
While lacking a strong standing overhead, much of Sol’s close range mixups comes from Wild Throw and the fear of Wild Throw opening the opponent to frame traps. Volcanic Viper is the best invincible reversal in the game, and is a powerful tool which forces the opponent to consider the safety of their offense.  
*Connoisseur Cut (236S)
*Air Connoisseur Cut (j.236S)
*Aerial Connoisseur Cut (214S)
*Air Aerial Connoisseur Cut (j.214S)


After absorbing an opponent's energy with one of the above versions of Connoisseur Cut, the slot will fill up with the move that you absorbed. After this, if you use the same input that you used to absorb the move, you'll do the special move that you absorbed instead of the Connoisseur Cut. Stolen moves are one time use and will free up their slots. Sweet Tooth (214L+M) will fill all available slots at once.
For midrange Sol has longer ranged normals in {{clr|3|f.S}} and {{clr|4|5H}}. He also has Fafnir, a vicious flaming strike that sends the opponent tumbling away on hit and is plus on block.


Furthermore, Android 21 can chain the copied abilities by pressing the S button on hit, alternating between Connoisseur Cut and Aerial Connoisseur Cut. Using the H version of [[DBFZ/Android_21#Total_Detonation_Ball|Total Detonation Ball]] makes Android 21 discard all her currently copied abilities, but in return, the move becomes stronger in proportion to how many abilities had been copied at that point.
Sol has the ability to corner carry many confirms even midscreen, and that's when the real fun starts. He deals huge damage in the corner by utilizing his infamous Dustloop in combination with Fafnir and Break, a divekick that can bring his air combos back to the ground and end with a very advantaged knockdown. From there he sets up powerful okizeme using a combination of safe jumps and Gun Flame YRC, overwhelming his opponent.


Absorbed abilities are separated into 4 colors/categories. Using Connoisseur Cut on a character belonging to one of these categories will give you a predetermined move based on this category. The move absorbed is different depending on whether you used Connoisseur Cut (236S/j.236S) or Aerial Connoisseur Cut (214S/j.214S).
The breakdown of which character belongs to which color/category is as follows:
*<span style="color:blue">'''Blue (Earthlings):'''</span> Gohan (Teen), Gohan (Adult), Goku, Goku (Super Saiyan), Goku (SSGSS), Goku (Ultra Instinct), Goku (GT), Goku Black, Krillin, Tien, Videl, Yamcha
*<span style="color:orange">'''Yellow (Saiyans):'''</span> Bardock, Broly, Broly (DBS), Gogeta (SSGSS), Gotenks, Kefla, Nappa, Trunks, Vegeta, Vegeta (Super Saiyan), Vegeta (SSGSS), Vegito (SSGSS)
*<span style="color:green">'''Green (Androids):'''</span> Android 16, Android 17, Android 18, Android 21, Cell
*<span style="color:purple">'''Purple (Aliens):'''</span> Beerus, Captain Ginyu, Cooler, Frieza, Hit, Janemba, Jiren, Kid Buu, Majin Buu, Piccolo, Zamasu (Fused)

{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
{{StrengthsAndWeaknesses
|intro=
| intro = {{Character Label|GGXRD-R2|Sol Badguy|24px}} is a well-rounded, yet very rushdown-focused character.
Android 21 is unique for her ability to copy abilities from her opponents with her command grab, Connoisseur Cut. Outside of her power-copying techniques, she also boasts a strong long-range game, using a combination of copied attacks and her own projectiles to wear down her enemies from a distance.
| pros =
|pros=
* Many strong, versatile normals and specials.
* '''Long Range Normals''': 21 boast some of the best normals in the game, making her neutral very strong. ([[DBFZ/Android_21#2M|2/3M]], [[DBFZ/Android_21#5M|5M]], [[DBFZ/Android_21#j.M|j.M]], [[DBFZ/Android_21#j.H|j.H]])
* Excels at close range with frame traps and [[GGXRD-R2/Sol Badguy#Wild Throw|Wild Throw]].  
* '''High average damage''': [[DBFZ/Android_21#Hors_d'Oeuvre_Stab|214X]] makes assist extensions extremely easy, stray hits can almost always turn into a full combo with enough awareness.
* Excellent ability to convert nearly any hit into knockdown.
* '''Fast Assist''': [[DBFZ/Android_21#Assist_A|A assist]] is a very fast beam property pop up assist with decent hitstun. [[DBFZ/Android_21#Assist_B|B assist]] brings the opponent down and has decent hitstun. [[DBFZ/Android_21#Assist_C|C assist]] has 50 frames of blockstun.
* Good starters lead to high damage combos at no Tension cost.
* '''Flexible Supers''': [[DBFZ/Android_21#Photon_Wave|Photon Wave]] is very easy to combo into off of [[DBFZ/Android_21#Hors_d'Oeuvre_Stab|214X]]. She also has access to both an air and ground Level 3, although the damage on her ground/Z change Level 3 has lower damage it gives her all 4 steals.
* [[GGXRD-R2/Sol Badguy#Volcanic Viper|Volcanic Viper]] is the best meterless reversal in the game.
* '''Command Grab''': Useful in blockstrings to catch respectful opponent and can absorb an enemy attack to gain different tools.
* Makes very good use of both Yellow and Red Roman Cancels.
* '''Above Average IAD Mix-up''': Fast point blank cross-ups with IAD [[DBFZ/Android_21#j.M|j.M]] and fast [[DBFZ/Android_21#2L|2L]] low makes IAD mix-up threatening.
* High stun damage. Can easily guarantee dizzy out of Counter Hit combos.
* '''Ability Steal''': 21's move steal ability makes her setplay very strong. Most of the steals are better versions of their originals. [[DBFZ/Android_21#Solar_Flare|Solar Flare]], [[DBFZ/Android_21#Homing_Energy_Blast|Homing Blast]] and [[DBFZ/Android_21#Explosive_Energy_Blast|Explosive Blast]] can all be used to cover tech options on knockdowns.
| cons =
* '''Sliding Knockdown Potential''': [[DBFZ/Android_21#Connoisseur_Cut|Connoisseur Cut]] will always give 21 a sliding knockdown, giving her safe jump okizeme in the corner.
* Has difficulty dealing with strong zoning.
|cons=
* Must sometimes take risks to break into his ideal attack range.
* '''Resource Dependent''': Will almost always need to use either assist or meter to combo into a decent sliding knockdown.  
* Mix-ups are very basic. Requires strong reads and conditioning.
* '''Volatile Gameplan''': Without steals and against certain teams/characters with weaker steals 21 may struggle in the neutral and on knockdowns.
* '''Unorthodox''': Almost all of 21's steal moves are strong but require awareness, this may be hard to juggle in the middle of a fast paced game like DBFZ if you're inexperienced.

{{clr|1|5P}} is useful as a low-risk counter poke tool. It is a strong pressure tool, leading into easy hit confirms, frame traps, and tic-throws. Due to its quick recovery, it can create Burst-safe points in combos. {{clr|1|5P}} will whiff against some characters' crouching hurtboxes.

{{clr|3|f.S}} is Sol’s main long-range poke, it boasts an excellent combination of speed and horizontal reach. It is useful for countering attacks at long range, catching the opponent's attempts to move, and punishing unsafe attacks at a distance. On block, {{clr|3|f.S}} can be cancelled to specials to apply pressure, or gatling into {{clr|3|2S}} to reset the situation. On hit, {{clr|3|f.S}} can gatling into {{clr|4|5H}} for long-range confirms with Tension. The only drawbacks to {{clr|3|f.S}} are its significant recovery and extended hurtbox.

* Lunging chop. Hits from round start distance but is slow.
Sol’s other long-range poke, {{clr|4|5H}} is primarily useful in attempts to counter the opponent's attacks since it leads to Tension-free combos on Counter Hit. Its hurtbox does not extend far relative to its max range, making it strong when used in conjunction with Sol's other pokes that do greatly extend his hurtbox (such as {{clr|3|f.S}} and {{clr|5|2D}}). In pressure, it can gatling from {{clr|1|6P}} as a far range frame trap. If blocked, it can be jump or special cancelled for a return to neutral or attempt to press the offensive. From farther air hits, it combos into Instant Air Dash {{clr|1|j.P}}/{{clr|2|j.K}}, or can be Roman Cancelled into Bandit Bringer to allow follow-up combos. {{clr|4|5H}} will combo into {{clr|5|j.D}} on air hit, so it is used frequently to set up Dust Loops in corner.
*Significant added hitstun on Counter Hit.

* Despite the appearance, this is only 1 Ki blast.
{{clr|1|6P}} has upper body invulnerability so it can counter higher-hitting pokes at range. For anti-airing, it is most effective against shallow angle jump angles or low air dashes, but it can also counter air attacks used early in descent (in attempts to stuff {{clr|2|5K}} anti-air). {{clr|1|6P}} is a strong pressure tool, leading to a multitude of easily hit confirmable and delayable options upon connecting. It can covert to combos on trades, as long as it hit near corner or Counter Hit. The wall bounce on {{clr|1|6P}} also makes it a staple in corner pressure and combos. Sol can even {{clr|1|6P}}>short delay {{clr|4|6H}} for sneaky crossup setups.

* Pokes their shins
{{clr|4|6H}} is Sol’s longest range normal, but is rarely used on its own due to slow, obvious start-up, lengthy recovery, awkward angle, and limited cancel options. That said, it is useful as a frame trap from {{clr|3|2S}} or {{clr|1|6P}}, and the gap between Sol's hurtbox and the attack's hitbox allows it to crush certain low attacks. The reward for landing {{clr|4|6H}} on regular hit is rather small without Tension. On Counter Hit, however, {{clr|4|6H}} causes ground bounce, resulting in devastating combos. {{clr|4|6H}} can also be used as a strong corner combo ender, leading to safe, high advantage Gun Flame oki. On block, {{clr|4|6H}} raises the R.I.S.C. Level significantly. In Dragon Install, this move becomes an entirely different beast with greatly reduced start-up and recovery.
* Chains twice like other lights
*Forces crouch on ground hit.
*Ground bounces on Counter Hit.

{{clr|3|2S}} is a strong neutral and pressure tool. It has a relatively slow start-up, but recovers incredibly fast while keeping Sol’s hurtbox far back, making it great for stopping ground approaches and countering shorter pokes. Gatling a {{clr|3|f.S}} into {{clr|3|2S}} whiff is a common technique which brings Sol's hurtbox back to a safer distance, essentially resetting the situation. {{clr|3|2S}} is advantageous on block, making it a great way to safely end blockstrings or lead into extended pressure.

{{clr|4|2H}} is primarily used in combos on airborne opponents, such as from anti-air {{clr|2|5K}} and corner {{clr|1|6P}}. It is rarely useful on its own due to its slow start-up, long recovery, and large hurtbox. On rare occasions it can be used in anticipation to anti-air for a rewarding Counter Hit launch. From farther air hits, it combos into Instant Air Dash {{clr|1|j.P}}/{{clr|2|j.K}} to allow follow-up combos that result in a knockdown that would otherwise not reach. {{clr|4|2H}} will combo into {{clr|5|j.D}} on air hit, so it is used frequently to set up Dust Loops in corner.
*Floats on Counter Hit.

* Jumps, spins and does an overhead kick.
{{clr|5|2D}} is a powerful normal, boasting an exceptional combination of speed, reach, evasive properties, and rewards on hit. Its low profile ability makes it useful for countering pokes that don't reach the floor. On Counter Hit, it will combo into Gun Flame for high damage, Tension-free combos. On normal hit it leads to multiple combo options depending on range and resources. It is a strong frame trap option as well since it can low profile many fast pokes. It is useful as an empty jump low option for okizeme since it can easily outrange throws.  
* 21 is airborne throughout the attack animation.

{{clr|1|j.P}} is Sol’s fastest air normal, making it ideal for close-quarters air-to-air encounters. It cancels to itself even on whiff which is useful for covering space with a long series of active hitboxes. This, along with its quick recovery, make rising {{clr|1|j.P}} a low-risk space control option. {{clr|1|j.P}} shifts Sol's hurtbox forward and upwards, so it can be difficult to anti-air, and can potentially evade aerial attacks from below. Following knockdowns, {{clr|1|j.P}} can be used as a safe jump and puts the opponent in short blockstun, making it a common tick throw option. In combos, {{clr|1|j.P}} can be used to create Burst-safe points.
* Still can be used for aerial pressure after opponent techs up, especially in the corner.

* Big downwards hit. Great as a jump in. Launches aerial opponents away on hit.
{{clr|4|j.H}} has utility in a wide variety of areas. in general it is Sol’s most commonly used air normal. For okizeme, {{clr|4|j.H}} is useful as a safe jump that can hit high twice. While it doesn’t gatling to any other air normals, it recovers instantly, so it is possible to link {{clr|1|j.P}} or {{clr|2|j.K}} afterwards. {{clr|4|j.H}} is useful as both an air-to-air and air-to-ground attack due to its large hitbox, long active frames, and evasive hurtbox. Sol's hurtbox shifts up far above the lower limit of {{clr|4|j.H}}'s hitbox, making it a great way to counter anti-airs and help approach from the air. As a jump in, the only drawback it has is that it doesn't reach quite as deep as {{clr|3|j.S}}, so it can be low profiled. At neutral, rising {{clr|4|j.H}} has similar utility to rising {{clr|1|j.P}} as a method of covering space. {{clr|4|j.H}} can be used to create Burst-safe points in combos due to its instant recovery.

* Damage: Raw / Non-Smash / Smash
Gun Flame (GF) is a vital neutral and offensive tool, and is especially powerful when Yellow Roman Cancelled (YRC). GF can be followed up with various combos depending on spacing and whether or not it Counter Hit. The later flames hit the better Sol's advantage state. At neutral, it covers a huge area for a long time making it ideal for ground space control. GF has significant recovery, so if it is jumped over it can result in Counter Hit punishes. Using YRC however, Sol can meet the opponent in the air with pressure if they jumped over it. On offense, GF can be used to frame trap or as a pressure reset using YRC. For okizeme, meaty GF can be significantly advantageous on block. GF (YRC) okizeme can lead to high/low mix-ups, and is particularly strong in corner.

While the Dragon Install (DI) version of Gun Flame (GF) does not travel like its regular equivalent, the static projectile covers a large amount of vertical and horizontal space very quickly. Because of this, the move is very useful at occupying space at mid-range, effectively preventing the opponent from approaching. It even grants advantage on block, allowing Sol to dictate the pace even at distances where he is normally at a disadvantage, especially when combined with Yellow Roman Cancel. Additionally, (DI) GF is useful in corner combos, as it has a large amount of untechable time on hit and deals good damage.

Ground H Volcanic Viper (HSVV or HVV) is Sol’s strongest defensive tool, and has applications for neutral and offense as well. It has fast start-up and is invulnerable instantly, so it can be used on wake-up or at any gap in the opponent’s pressure to counter their attacks. HVV is highly unsafe on block or whiff. Having Roman Cancel (RC) available removes much of the risk associated with it, allowing combos on hit or pressure if it is blocked. If the second hit connects on Counter Hit, it can be followed up with a combo at no Tension cost. HVV is a strong anti-air option that can only fail if the opponent uses Faultless Defense or dodges it somehow. It is particularly useful for punishing forward air dashes, since the opponent must wait until the air dash is complete to Faultless Defense. On offense, HVV can be used as a frame trap and anti-throw option.

(DI) {{clr|3|j.S}}VV also has the bonus of requiring Faultless Defense to block after the first hit, a property not shared by regular {{clr|3|j.S}}VV. That being said, neither (DI) SVV nor (DI) {{clr|3|j.S}}VV see much use during DI, due to the far higher reward on the H versions.
The ground version be used as another ender for your blockstring instead of 5H. Both have somewhat similar animations making it easier to land.
*Hits 3 times, all hits launch. Third hit can be cancelled into Knockdown on hit, block, or whiff.
*Sol is crouching during landing recovery.
*Cannot Yellow or Purple Roman Cancel.

{{Description|7|text=
In Dragon Install (DI), Ground H Volcanic Viper (HSVV or HVV) and Aerial H Volcanic Viper ({{clr|4|j.H}}VV or {{clr|4|j.H}}VV) boast greatly enhanced firepower. Dealing a total of 10 hits, connecting with either version results in a large amount of damage, especially if it hits raw. With all 9 rising hits building a base 7.2% Tension on hit, (DI) HVV has the highest Tension Gain of any attack in the game. A successful (DI) HVV almost always builds enough Tension to pay for a Roman Cancel (RC), at which point Sol can convert the already powerful attack into a full combo. (DI) {{clr|4|j.H}}VV also has the bonus of requiring Faultless Defense to block after the first hit, a property not shared by regular {{clr|4|j.H}}VV. Of course, the move is not without its weaknesses. Both versions are massively unsafe on block or whiff, putting Sol at a greater disadvantage than any other attack he has. For that reason, you should never go for a (DI) HVV in unconfirmable situations without the necessary 50% Tension required to RC. With an RC available, however, there is another interesting use for (DI) HVV. The first hit alone deals 60 damage, launches, is completely untechable and only decreases the R.I.S.C. Level by one, making it perhaps the most dangerous single hit in the game. RCing the first hit and continuing with a combo can result in massive damage, especially off a 7 frame attack with invulnerable start-up.
*Hits 10 times, all hits launch. Tenth hit can be cancelled into Knockdown on hit, block, or whiff.
*Sol is crouching during landing recovery.
*Cannot Yellow or Purple Roman Cancel.
*Ground version: Stun damage 120.

* Android 21 advances into the air at a 45° angle.
Knockdown (KD) is the add-on to Volcanic Viper (VV) which is used to knock the opponent down after a VV hits.
* Both versions side switch on hit. Can be followed up with Hors d'Oeuvre Stab by pressing L, M or H. L keeps the side switch, M and H side switch again.
 
* Has Anti-Air property.
The cancel to KD is delayable, so depending on the height at which VV connects, a difference in timing may be required for it to connect. Whiffing a KD after VV connects will leave Sol at disadvantage, and is sometimes even punishable. Delay cancel into KD can also be used in an attempt to throw off the opponent’s punish timing when they block or dodge a VV, but doing so puts Sol in Counter Hit state, leaving VV even more punishable if it fails.
* Can be used after Dragonrush-Combos for extension.

During Dragon Install, Sol will fall to the ground quickly after KD making him less vulnerable and allowing for better followups.

"Cancellable" in the ability descriptions refers specifically to cancelling one absorbed ability into another and not anything else like regular attacks or supers.

Bandit Revolver (BR) is primarily used to end combos into Sol’s most advantageous knockdown. The second hit of BR has a large hitbox and must be blocked with Faultless Defense in air. Frame advantage of a blocked BR depends on distance and whether it is crouch or stand blocked, or instant blocked. From mid-range on crouching block BR will be slightly advantage, but in other situations it can range from being slightly negative to punishable.
BR also has niche use as a low crush because it is airborne after frame 9.

In Dragon Install (DI), Bandit Revolver (BR) becomes a pressure and combo tool. Due to its improved start-up, movement speed and active time, opponents are forced to respect the ground version in neutral to a much greater degree than regular BR, and the improved attack level grants Sol advantage on block, allowing you to reset pressure with it. (DI) BR does not work very well as a pressure tool at close range on grounded opponents, however, as Sol moves so far forward that crouching will usually force the last hit to whiff over the opponent, leaving Sol wide open. Because of this, it is best used either at a distance or in expectation of a jump. As the last hit of the ground version is an overhead, it’s not uncommon to use it to reset pressure at a distance where only the last hit will connect, provided that the opponent is too scared to press a button. Because of its significant untechable time, (DI) BR can also be used as a combo tool near the corner, particularly on air hit. It can even be looped several times in the corner, although the damage isn’t ideal.
* Has Anti-Air property.
*First hit launches.
* Puts 21 airborne.
*Last hit is an overhead.
* Just like Krillin's Solar Flare, you can use it for oki in combinations with an assist to catch opponents teching above you.

Bandit Bringer (BB) should be used sparingly outside combos. It has very slow and telegraphed start-up, so it can be punished easily, either by getting countered out of startup or thrown after an Instant Block. It hits overhead, but is too slow for it to realistically hit an opponent for crouch blocking. The main use of BB on its own is as high-risk, high reward evasive attack to dodge and whiff punish an opponent in anticipation at long range. It can also catch backdashes or jump start-up. BB is used frequently in combos for added damage and corner carry.
*Floor bounce on hit, higher bounce on Counter Hit.

In neutral, the Dragon Install (DI) version of Bandit Bringer (BB) carries the usual risks, despite the miniscule improvement to start-up and the seemingly larger hitbox. Of course, being in DI, the reward for landing it is potentially greater, as it lacks the initial proration attached to the regular version. Because (DI) BB tumbles on hit, it is often used in combos after a mid-screen (DI) Break for the additional corner carry required to take the opponent all the way to the corner. Interestingly, if you land (DI) BB without any preceeding tumbles, it will tumble, but landing it after a tumble in the same combo will cause a ground bounce instead, as combos have a one tumble limit.
*Tumbles on hit during first tumble in a combo, ground bounces after a tumble.

Break is an all-around strong dive kick. It stalls Sol’s momentum in mid-air, making it usable as an anti-anti-air option since it comes down quickly after the delay to whiff punish. It can be followed up on hit near corner, or mid-screen using Roman Cancel. It is used frequently in corner combos. On block, Break is safe, but only if the flame pillar connects. From a close-range block (often caused by Instant Block), the flame pillar will whiff behind the opponent after the dive kick, leaving Sol vulnerable. Break done from farther ranges is difficult to whiff punish since the flame pillar will still come out upon whiffing the dive kick. Using Yellow Roman Cancel (YRC) as Sol’s begins descending makes him quickly drop to the ground, making for a particularly strong approach from the air.

*Cannot be performed close to the ground.

Once Sol enters Dragon Install (DI), Break’s all-around usefulness increases greatly, even though its damage does not. Firstly, start-up becomes noticably faster, further enhancing its viability in neutral situations. While Sol does not hang in the air for as long to bait out anti-air attempts, the speed of the move and the danger of DI in general make it risky to challenge. Secondly, the flame that normally appears upon hitting the ground is replaced by a large explosion, granting Sol even greater advantage without the possibility of the second hit whiffing at point-blank. The explosion even hits behind Sol, creating potential cross-ups, although the minimum height requirement usually restricts this function to okizeme or other situations in which Sol is able to get high above the opponent. On hit, the explosion launches the opponent high and far, sporting a massive amount of untechable time. This allows Sol to easily follow-up with the jumping normal of his choice (including after an Instant Air Dash), or even (DI) Bandit Bringer during low untechable time decay. Because of this, (DI) Break is a very versatile combo part during DI combos, both mid-screen for corner carry and in the corner for {{clr|5|j.D}} > (DI) Break loops. That being said, using it in combos limits your maximum damage considerably, so if you can avoid using it in that context, do so.
* Can only land once during a combo.
*Second hit has a massive amount of untechable time on hit.
*Cannot be performed close to the ground.

Wild Throw (WT) makes Sol especially dangerous when within its range, and is a fundamental part of Sol’s offense. It boasts a start-up of only 4 frames, and can outrange normal throws. It allows strong Tension-free follow-up combos. During pressure, WT is used most effectively in conjunction with frame traps and lows, with the outcome depending on whether opponents opt to try either countering its start-up or jumping and backdashing to avoid it. Opponents using Faultless Defense excessively to keep Sol out are extra susceptible to WT. It is important to space WT well, because it can be thrown out of start-up if done too close. On whiff, there is a recovery animation which can be easily punished, but it can be Purple Roman Cancelled for safety.

Riot Stamp (RS) is a risky but useful movement-based special, generally used with Sol's back to corner for quickly dodging and whiff punishing attacks. RS recovers quickly upon connecting and Sol is able to act shortly after reaching the apex of his ascent from the second hit, allowing for follow-up combos on hit and safety on block. At mid-screen, RS is punishable on reaction by {{clr|1|6P}}, invulnerable attacks, Blitz Shield, or otherwise, so it is dangerous to use frequently. With Sol’s back to the corner, it becomes much more practical, since Sol has less distance to travel backwards. Using Yellow Roman Cancel during the backwards travel of RS is a useful method of quickly distancing yourself from the opponent.

* Similar to Android 18's barrier, gives you 25% Ki gauge for each hit blocked and can cancel into supers with L+M, H+S.
In Dragon Install (DI), the first two hits of Riot Stamp are entirely unchanged outside of Tension Gain. For this reason, its use in neutral is almost entirely restricted to the exact same situations as the regular version and therefore should be used sparingly. However, should a (DI) Riot Stamp get as far as that second hit, the situation quickly changes. After Sol kicks down, an inferno rises from underneath the opponent. This inferno has a ludicrous amount of active frames, and as Sol himself recovers at the same time he would for the regular version, his advantage on block goes from high to frankly absurd. Similarly, on hit, Sol gets a lot more freedom to do as he pleases.
* Doesn't stop throws and supers.
*First two hits are overhead.

Ground Viper is the in-game romanization of Grand Viper. Grand Viper (GV) is the most risky attack in Sol’s arsenal, it has massive recovery and cannot be cancelled on whiff.  
{{!}}-
 
{{Description|9|text=
The player must rapidly press directions and buttons (not including D) to achieve the maximum travel distance and 9 hits. GV will reach the opponent quickly from nearly full screen, so it is useful for catching opponents out of anything they might be doing from far away. It can low profile any attack that does not reach the floor, which can be useful at neutral, on wake-up, or while being pressured. Mid-screen ground hits confirmed into GV will lead to high damage combos with great corner carry.
* Grounded version has a larger hitbox.
*Hits low for all but the last 3 hits, minimum of 5 hits, maximum of 9 hits. Rapid directional and button inputs are required to increase number of hits and travel distance. Knockdown from final hit.
* Cancellable if the orb hits as it comes out.
*80% proration (low hits only).
*Ground hits: Stun damage 2
*Cannot Yellow or Purple Roman Cancel.

Its faster start-up, movement speed and immediate super low profile state make it a very scary ranged low, a luxury not shared by many other moves. On block, (DI) GV cranks up the opponent’s R.I.S.C. Level to a far greater degree than any other attack he has, basically guaranteeing that the opponent is forced into an automatic Counter Hit state if Sol gets the maximum number of hits. On hit, while Sol can opt to increase hits and therefore damage, there is an incentive to simply letting the attack perform its minimum number of hits. Due to the increased launch height on the final hit, if the hit count remains low, the opponent’s gravity should remain at a state where Sol is able to follow-up with a sufficiently fast anti-air normal such as {{clr|2|5K}} or {{clr|4|2H}} and lead into an extended combo. (DI) GV also lacks several of the weaknesses of its regular counterpart. As Sol moves across the ground, he creates a set of high-reaching flame pillars behind him. This makes (DI) GV much harder to jump over. While these flame pillars can be blocked in any way, they do push the opponent back towards Sol, meaning that if a jumping opponent gets caught by a stray flame, they can potentially be pushed back into the rising section of the attack in spite of their attempts to clear it. Sol is able to Purple Roman Cancel to safety should he have the 50% Tension to spare. You can even choose to Yellow Roman Cancel the early portion of the attack if you don’t want to commit to the full thing or simply wish to scare the opponent with a quick burst of forward movement.

Fafnir is a strong neutral and pressure tool. Fafnir has far reach due to Sol stepping a far distance forward, making it ideal in neutral at long distance. It can be used to counter attacks at long range into full screen carry combos or as a whiff punisher. The tumble caused by a Counter Hit can often be followed up even on trades, so it is a frightening move to challenge. Sol’s hurtbox lowers slightly during start-up, so it can duck under certain higher-hitting attacks and counter them. It recovers quickly, so if opponents avoided it by jumping, Sol often recovers fast enough to anti-air. It is useful in ranged pressure when opponents are conditioned not to attack. It must be blocked with Faultless Defense in air, so it can catch opponents at the beginning of their jump. On block, it is plus (unless Instant Blocked) and increases the opponent’s R.I.S.C. Level considerably. Fafnir is used frequently in combos near corner. Its high base damage contributes to Sol's prominent stunning ability, especially from a Counter Hit Fafnir starter. Fafnir’s drawbacks are its relatively slow start-up and large horizontal hurtbox.

* Tracks the opponent to about half screen.
While Sol is in Dragon Install (DI), Fafnir can deal up to three hits in immediate succession. Fafnir has more recovery in this state, making it considerably more risky to whiff and noticeably less advantageous on hit. However, its frame advantage on block is slightly higher, so it can be used in largely the same manner. On hit, the opponent’s R.I.S.C. Level decreases by a considerable amount more for (DI) Fafnir than regular Fafnir, causing heavier damage scaling, but the opposite is also true on block. An overly defensive opponent will quickly earn themselves a flashing R.I.S.C. Level.

* Generic C assist with high blockstun. On hit, teleports behind the opponent and knock them down into a ground bounce SKD.
P.B.B. is Sol’s Dragon Install (DI) exclusive special, used primarily as a combo ender during the final moments of DI to allow Sol to safely recover without repercussion by causing knockdown and creating distance between Sol and the opponent. Uniquely, despite being classified as an air throw, it is possible to land P.B.B. on grounded opponents, but only while they’re already in hitstun. Combined with its fast start-up and short burst of horizontal movement, this allows Sol to end almost any DI combo with P.B.B. without needing to add any unnecessary filler, maximising combo damage. Due to its nature as an air throw, there is the potential to use P.B.B. for resets on an opponent attempting to air tech away, or to use it to throw someone out of Burst start-up.

Tyrant Rave ver.β (TR) is primarily used to do unburstable damage in combos, usually when it will kill. It also gives high damage combos from a corner {{clr|5|2D}} hit. It can be used as a more costly reversal option on wake-up or in pressure. However, Roman Canceling Volcanic Viper is almost always a better idea since it is much less risky. TR is slightly unsafe on block, whether the opponent interrupts the second hit or not. As a reversal, the only benefits TR has over VV are that it has more horizontal range and cannot be Bursted. Although when 75% Tension is available, TR has the added benefit of allowing Yellow Roman Cancel, so it can safely be cancelled when the opponent is ready to block it. It can also be used on offense similarly to VV as a frame trap, but this is rarely practical.
*Hits twice. First hit launches, second hit knocks away and is untechable. Wall bounces near corner.

* Invulnerable from frames 9 to 18.
The Dragon Install (DI) version of Tyrant Rave ver.β (TR) is a very scary Overdrive. The first hit is basically the same, albeit a couple of frames slower, but the scary part is what follows. The second hit is replaced by a travelling blast of fire, dealing 15 hits total and travelling from Sol's fist across the entire length of the screen. The raw damage on this attack is immense, especially during Hell Fire, and the increased strike invulnerability makes it not entirely terrible to just throw out. While Sol is at a disadvantage on block, the pushback from the blast forces the opponent to either Instant Block the first hit and punish before the second, or not at all. Where (DI) TR really shines though, is as a late combo part in the corner. The projectile causes wall stick near the corner, allowing for easy P.B.B. enders. Furthermore, if you delay (DI) TR so that the first hit connects right before the opponent hits the ground, they'll stick to the wall low enough to guarantee the slump afterwards. Because of this, many combos with (DI) TR can then be followed up with a grounded combo continuation into an ender.

* Invulnerable from frames 1 to 21.
Dragon Install (DI) is a situational, high-risk, high-reward Overdrive in which Sol’s movement speed is increased, his normals become noticably faster and safer, and his specials are all buffed significantly. If used in neutral, Sol gains a great amount of initiative: He recovers instantly once the super freeze ends, and the combination of his speed advantage and his reward off any given hit is large enough that it becomes very risky for opponents to attempt to force the pace of the match into their favour. Of course, DI itself carries a large risk. When the mode’s natural duration ends and Sol returns to neutral on the ground, he is forced into a lengthy recovery animation, making him incredibly vulnerable to a counter-offensive. Due to this, DI is only really recommended in situations where the recovery animation will not come into play, either to make a last minute comeback, to quickly finish off an opponent hanging on by a thread, or in a combo that can guarantee a safe exit out of DI. With proper timing, the invulnerability on DI allows it to be used after a knockdown as a big call-out against reversal attempts, especially those intending to Roman Cancel upon connecting. DI can also be used to create Burst-safe points in certain situations. Can be roman canceled just as the animation starts, only burns the meter for the cancel and cancels the transformation.
* Costs 3 bars.
*Greatly enhances movement speed, all offensive specials and almost all normals.
* Fires a pink beam across the screen. On hit Android 21 will turn the opponent into a dessert, take a bite out of them, then toss the remainder in disgust. If the move deals enough damage to kill, she will finish the opponent rather than deserting them.
'''Supplemental Frame Data''':

* Minimum damage: 1521. Not good as a combo ender unless it will kill. But good for oki and gaining all your mimic slots.

Like most Instant Kills (IK), Branding Breach is only particularly useful in two situations: When an opponent is stunned and you have the means to quickly activate IK Mode, or when the conditions to combo into IKs are met. As far as the attack start-up itself is concerned, Branding Breach is actually a fairly versatile IK. It has a lengthy amount of invulnerability and a decent hitbox, mainly thanks to the start-up animation being based on Fafnir. If conclusion conditions are met, it becomes possible to combo into Branding Breach off a Roman Cancelled Ground Throw or Wild Throw mid-screen, and any corner combo leading into a high air hit Fafnir can also combo into Branding Breach without requiring a Roman Cancel.

Overview

Sol has a tool for every situation, but some tools are better than others. His primary goal is to get up close and personal where his options are scariest. To get in he can use Gun Flame to cover his approach when Roman Cancelled. Sol has some powerful buttons up close: 5K is a 5f poke that can be used as a 6f anti air and 2D is a fast low profile sweep.

While lacking a strong standing overhead, much of Sol’s close range mixups comes from Wild Throw and the fear of Wild Throw opening the opponent to frame traps. Volcanic Viper is the best invincible reversal in the game, and is a powerful tool which forces the opponent to consider the safety of their offense.

For midrange Sol has longer ranged normals in f.S and 5H. He also has Fafnir, a vicious flaming strike that sends the opponent tumbling away on hit and is plus on block.

Sol has the ability to corner carry many confirms even midscreen, and that's when the real fun starts. He deals huge damage in the corner by utilizing his infamous Dustloop in combination with Fafnir and Break, a divekick that can bring his air combos back to the ground and end with a very advantaged knockdown. From there he sets up powerful okizeme using a combination of safe jumps and Gun Flame YRC, overwhelming his opponent.


 Sol Badguy  Sol Badguy is a well-rounded, yet very rushdown-focused character.

f.S is Sol’s main long-range poke, it boasts an excellent combination of speed and horizontal reach. It is useful for countering attacks at long range, catching the opponent's attempts to move, and punishing unsafe attacks at a distance. On block, f.S can be cancelled to specials to apply pressure, or gatling into 2S to reset the situation. On hit, f.S can gatling into 5H for long-range confirms with Tension. The only drawbacks to f.S are its significant recovery and extended hurtbox.

Sol’s other long-range poke, 5H is primarily useful in attempts to counter the opponent's attacks since it leads to Tension-free combos on Counter Hit. Its hurtbox does not extend far relative to its max range, making it strong when used in conjunction with Sol's other pokes that do greatly extend his hurtbox (such as f.S and 2D). In pressure, it can gatling from 6P as a far range frame trap. If blocked, it can be jump or special cancelled for a return to neutral or attempt to press the offensive. From farther air hits, it combos into Instant Air Dash j.P/j.K, or can be Roman Cancelled into Bandit Bringer to allow follow-up combos. 5H will combo into j.D on air hit, so it is used frequently to set up Dust Loops in corner.

  • Significant added hitstun on Counter Hit.

6P has upper body invulnerability so it can counter higher-hitting pokes at range. For anti-airing, it is most effective against shallow angle jump angles or low air dashes, but it can also counter air attacks used early in descent (in attempts to stuff 5K anti-air). 6P is a strong pressure tool, leading to a multitude of easily hit confirmable and delayable options upon connecting. It can covert to combos on trades, as long as it hit near corner or Counter Hit. The wall bounce on 6P also makes it a staple in corner pressure and combos. Sol can even 6P>short delay 6H for sneaky crossup setups.

  • Knockdown on hit, wall bounce within range. Increased untechable time after wall bounce on Counter Hit.

6H is Sol’s longest range normal, but is rarely used on its own due to slow, obvious start-up, lengthy recovery, awkward angle, and limited cancel options. That said, it is useful as a frame trap from 2S or 6P, and the gap between Sol's hurtbox and the attack's hitbox allows it to crush certain low attacks. The reward for landing 6H on regular hit is rather small without Tension. On Counter Hit, however, 6H causes ground bounce, resulting in devastating combos. 6H can also be used as a strong corner combo ender, leading to safe, high advantage Gun Flame oki. On block, 6H raises the R.I.S.C. Level significantly. In Dragon Install, this move becomes an entirely different beast with greatly reduced start-up and recovery.

5D should be used sparingly. It hits overhead, but can be reacted to easily and is unsafe on block. Rewards on hit are small outside of corner. 5D can be used as a combo part for Dragon Install combo enders, due to the wall stick it causes in the corner. Yellow Roman Cancelling 5D on startup can lead to some particularly tricky setups.

2S is a strong neutral and pressure tool. It has a relatively slow start-up, but recovers incredibly fast while keeping Sol’s hurtbox far back, making it great for stopping ground approaches and countering shorter pokes. Gatling a f.S into 2S whiff is a common technique which brings Sol's hurtbox back to a safer distance, essentially resetting the situation. 2S is advantageous on block, making it a great way to safely end blockstrings or lead into extended pressure.

2H is primarily used in combos on airborne opponents, such as from anti-air 5K and corner 6P. It is rarely useful on its own due to its slow start-up, long recovery, and large hurtbox. On rare occasions it can be used in anticipation to anti-air for a rewarding Counter Hit launch. From farther air hits, it combos into Instant Air Dash j.P/j.K to allow follow-up combos that result in a knockdown that would otherwise not reach. 2H will combo into j.D on air hit, so it is used frequently to set up Dust Loops in corner.

2D is a powerful normal, boasting an exceptional combination of speed, reach, evasive properties, and rewards on hit. Its low profile ability makes it useful for countering pokes that don't reach the floor. On Counter Hit, it will combo into Gun Flame for high damage, Tension-free combos. On normal hit it leads to multiple combo options depending on range and resources. It is a strong frame trap option as well since it can low profile many fast pokes. It is useful as an empty jump low option for okizeme since it can easily outrange throws.

j.P is Sol’s fastest air normal, making it ideal for close-quarters air-to-air encounters. It cancels to itself even on whiff which is useful for covering space with a long series of active hitboxes. This, along with its quick recovery, make rising j.P a low-risk space control option. j.P shifts Sol's hurtbox forward and upwards, so it can be difficult to anti-air, and can potentially evade aerial attacks from below. Following knockdowns, j.P can be used as a safe jump and puts the opponent in short blockstun, making it a common tick throw option. In combos, j.P can be used to create Burst-safe points.

j.H has utility in a wide variety of areas. in general it is Sol’s most commonly used air normal. For okizeme, j.H is useful as a safe jump that can hit high twice. While it doesn’t gatling to any other air normals, it recovers instantly, so it is possible to link j.P or j.K afterwards. j.H is useful as both an air-to-air and air-to-ground attack due to its large hitbox, long active frames, and evasive hurtbox. Sol's hurtbox shifts up far above the lower limit of j.H's hitbox, making it a great way to counter anti-airs and help approach from the air. As a jump in, the only drawback it has is that it doesn't reach quite as deep as j.S, so it can be low profiled. At neutral, rising j.H has similar utility to rising j.P as a method of covering space. j.H can be used to create Burst-safe points in combos due to its instant recovery.

j.D is primarily used in combos on airborne opponents to maximize corner carry and damage, such as Dust Loops near corner. It is also commonly used as a gatling from j.S to launch the opponent. On its own, j.D has limited use as an air-to-ground attack, the hitbox has more range horizontally and upward vertically than downward. In addition, it has extra landing recovery which makes follow-up pressure after it is blocked not as strong.

Sol’s ground throw is used much more frequently on defense than offense. Typically, using Wild Throw is a stronger and more rewarding option on offense. Throw is faster though, so it can be used in situations which the opponent makes themselves throwable for a brief period of time. It can only be followed up with combos using Roman Cancel. Performing throw as 6K+H acts as a useful option select to perform 5K if the opponent is not throwable, and throw if they are. This cannot be used for throwing opponents behind due to Faultless Defense, but is much safer than using 6H.

Sol’s air throw is useful in multiple situations, since air throws are strong in general. Sol makes use of it particularly during offense to grab opponents who attempt to escape by jumping. It knocks down upon connecting and usually has to be Roman Cancelled to enable any follow-up.

Dead Angle Attack is an anti-pressure option that costs 50% Tension. It knocks the opponent away on hit and causes knockdown which can be followed up with ground okizeme.

Especially due to the fact that it is highly unsafe on block or whiff.

Gun Flame (GF) is a vital neutral and offensive tool, and is especially powerful when Yellow Roman Cancelled (YRC). GF can be followed up with various combos depending on spacing and whether or not it Counter Hit. The later flames hit the better Sol's advantage state. At neutral, it covers a huge area for a long time making it ideal for ground space control. GF has significant recovery, so if it is jumped over it can result in Counter Hit punishes. Using YRC however, Sol can meet the opponent in the air with pressure if they jumped over it. On offense, GF can be used to frame trap or as a pressure reset using YRC. For okizeme, meaty GF can be significantly advantageous on block. GF (YRC) okizeme can lead to high/low mix-ups, and is particularly strong in corner. The 3rd and 4th pillars of gunflame do not disappear when Sol gets hit.

While the Dragon Install (DI) version of Gun Flame (GF) does not travel like its regular equivalent, the static projectile covers a large amount of vertical and horizontal space very quickly. Because of this, the move is very useful at occupying space at mid-range, effectively preventing the opponent from approaching. It even grants advantage on block, allowing Sol to dictate the pace even at distances where he is normally at a disadvantage, especially when combined with Yellow Roman Cancel. Additionally, (DI) GF is useful in corner combos, as it has a large amount of untechable time on hit and deals good damage.

Gun Flame (Feint) (GF(F)) is often used as a cancel option from 5H or 6H on block. This doesn’t improve his frame advantage, but it brings Sol's hurtbox back to a safer distance. It builds a small amount of Tension, so it can be used at a safe distance during down time to build meter for free. In pressure, GF(F) is a risky but occasionally useful method of getting the opponent to flinch that can be punished.

At neutral, Ground S Volcanic Viper (SVV) can be used at range to counter an opponent’s poke into a knockdown, but it is risky and will only be effective on attacks that extend their hurtbox. It can be used as an invulnerable reversal, but is slower than Ground H Volcanic Viper (HSVV or HVV) and has a much thinner hitbox. It is not as unsafe as HVV, but still easily punishable.

  • Hits twice, both hits launch. First hit is fully untechable on Counter Hit. Second hit can be cancelled into Knockdown on hit, block, or whiff.

Aerial S Volcanic Viper (j.SVV) can be used as an anti-anti-air, which becomes particularly strong with Roman Cancel available. Note that its hurtbox reaches much lower than that of Aerial H Volcanic Viper (j.HVV). It can also be used to counter aerial attacks at close range. j.SVV is used frequently to end air combos with knockdown. A close to ground j.SVV can link into 5P upon landing, making Tiger Knee j.SVV useful in certain mid-screen confirms.

Ground H
623H

Ground H Volcanic Viper (HSVV or HVV) is Sol’s strongest defensive tool, and has applications for neutral and offense as well. It has fast start-up and is invulnerable instantly, so it can be used on wake-up or at any gap in the opponent’s pressure to counter their attacks. HVV is highly unsafe on block or whiff. Having Roman Cancel (RC) available removes much of the risk associated with it, allowing combos on hit or pressure if it is blocked. If the second hit connects on Counter Hit, it can be followed up with a combo at no Tension cost. HVV is a strong anti-air option that can only fail if the opponent uses Faultless Defense or dodges it somehow. It is particularly useful for punishing forward air dashes, since the opponent must wait until the air dash is complete to Faultless Defense. On offense, HVV can be used as a frame trap and anti-throw option.

The Dragon Install (DI) versions of Ground S Volcanic Viper (SVV) and Aerial S Volcanic Viper (j.SVV) are used in much the same way as a regular SVV and j.SVV. The additional hit increases combo damage and decreases disadvantage on block, although not enough to prevent it from being highly punishable. (DI) j.SVV also has the bonus of requiring Faultless Defense to block after the first hit, a property not shared by regular j.SVV. That being said, neither (DI) SVV nor (DI) j.SVV see much use during DI, due to the far higher reward on the H versions.

In Dragon Install (DI), Ground H Volcanic Viper (HSVV or HVV) and Aerial H Volcanic Viper (j.HVV or j.HVV) boast greatly enhanced firepower. Dealing a total of 10 hits, connecting with either version results in a large amount of damage, especially if it hits raw. With all 9 rising hits building a base 7.2% Tension on hit, (DI) HVV has the highest Tension Gain of any attack in the game. A successful (DI) HVV almost always builds enough Tension to pay for a Roman Cancel (RC), at which point Sol can convert the already powerful attack into a full combo. (DI) j.HVV also has the bonus of requiring Faultless Defense to block after the first hit, a property not shared by regular j.HVV. Of course, the move is not without its weaknesses. Both versions are massively unsafe on block or whiff, putting Sol at a greater disadvantage than any other attack he has. For that reason, you should never go for a (DI) HVV in unconfirmable situations without the necessary 50% Tension required to RC. With an RC available, however, there is another interesting use for (DI) HVV. The first hit alone deals 60 damage, launches, is completely untechable and only decreases the R.I.S.C. Level by one, making it perhaps the most dangerous single hit in the game. RCing the first hit and continuing with a combo can result in massive damage, especially off a 7 frame attack with invulnerable start-up.

Knockdown (KD) is the add-on to Volcanic Viper (VV) which is used to knock the opponent down after a VV hits.

The cancel to KD is delayable, so depending on the height at which VV connects, a difference in timing may be required for it to connect. Whiffing a KD after VV connects will leave Sol at disadvantage, and is sometimes even punishable. Delay cancel into KD can also be used in an attempt to throw off the opponent’s punish timing when they block or dodge a VV, but doing so puts Sol in Counter Hit state, leaving VV even more punishable if it fails.

During Dragon Install, Sol will fall to the ground quickly after KD making him less vulnerable and allowing for better followups.

Bandit Revolver (BR) is primarily used to end combos into Sol’s most advantageous knockdown. The second hit of BR has a large hitbox and must be blocked with Faultless Defense in air. Frame advantage of a blocked BR depends on distance and whether it is crouch or stand blocked, or instant blocked. From mid-range on crouching block BR will be slightly advantage, but in other situations it can range from being slightly negative to punishable. BR also has niche use as a low crush because it is airborne after frame 9.

In Dragon Install (DI), Bandit Revolver (BR) becomes a pressure and combo tool. Due to its improved start-up, movement speed and active time, opponents are forced to respect the ground version in neutral to a much greater degree than regular BR, and the improved attack level grants Sol advantage on block, allowing you to reset pressure with it. (DI) BR does not work very well as a pressure tool at close range on grounded opponents, however, as Sol moves so far forward that crouching will usually force the last hit to whiff over the opponent, leaving Sol wide open. Because of this, it is best used either at a distance or in expectation of a jump. As the last hit of the ground version is an overhead, it’s not uncommon to use it to reset pressure at a distance where only the last hit will connect, provided that the opponent is too scared to press a button. Because of its significant untechable time, (DI) BR can also be used as a combo tool near the corner, particularly on air hit. It can even be looped several times in the corner, although the damage isn’t ideal.

Bandit Bringer (BB) should be used sparingly outside combos. It has very slow and telegraphed start-up, so it can be punished easily, either by getting countered out of startup or thrown after an Instant Block. It hits overhead, but is too slow for it to realistically hit an opponent for crouch blocking. The main use of BB on its own is as high-risk, high reward evasive attack to dodge and whiff punish an opponent in anticipation at long range. It can also catch backdashes or jump start-up. BB is used frequently in combos for added damage and corner carry.

In neutral, the Dragon Install (DI) version of Bandit Bringer (BB) carries the usual risks, despite the miniscule improvement to start-up and the seemingly larger hitbox. Of course, being in DI, the reward for landing it is potentially greater, as it lacks the initial proration attached to the regular version. Because (DI) BB tumbles on hit, it is often used in combos after a mid-screen (DI) Break for the additional corner carry required to take the opponent all the way to the corner. Interestingly, if you land (DI) BB without any preceeding tumbles, it will tumble, but landing it after a tumble in the same combo will cause a ground bounce instead, as combos have a one tumble limit.

Break is an all-around strong dive kick. It stalls Sol’s momentum in mid-air, making it usable as an anti-anti-air option since it comes down quickly after the delay to whiff punish. It can be followed up on hit near corner, or mid-screen using Roman Cancel. It is used frequently in corner combos. On block, Break is safe, but only if the flame pillar connects. From a close-range block (often caused by Instant Block), the flame pillar will whiff behind the opponent after the dive kick, leaving Sol vulnerable. Break done from farther ranges is difficult to whiff punish since the flame pillar will still come out upon whiffing the dive kick. Using Yellow Roman Cancel (YRC) as Sol’s begins descending makes him quickly drop to the ground, making for a particularly strong approach from the air.

Dragon Install
(DI) j.214K

Once Sol enters Dragon Install (DI), Break’s all-around usefulness increases greatly, even though its damage does not. Firstly, start-up becomes noticably faster, further enhancing its viability in neutral situations. While Sol does not hang in the air for as long to bait out anti-air attempts, the speed of the move and the danger of DI in general make it risky to challenge. Secondly, the flame that normally appears upon hitting the ground is replaced by a large explosion, granting Sol even greater advantage without the possibility of the second hit whiffing at point-blank. The explosion even hits behind Sol, creating potential cross-ups, although the minimum height requirement usually restricts this function to okizeme or other situations in which Sol is able to get high above the opponent. On hit, the explosion launches the opponent high and far, sporting a massive amount of untechable time. This allows Sol to easily follow-up with the jumping normal of his choice (including after an Instant Air Dash), or even (DI) Bandit Bringer during low untechable time decay. Because of this, (DI) Break is a very versatile combo part during DI combos, both mid-screen for corner carry and in the corner for j.D > (DI) Break loops. That being said, using it in combos limits your maximum damage considerably, so if you can avoid using it in that context, do so.

  • Second hit has a massive amount of untechable time on hit.
  • Cannot be performed close to the ground.
  • 80% forced proration (first hit only).

Wild Throw (WT) makes Sol especially dangerous when within its range, and is a fundamental part of Sol’s offense. It boasts a start-up of only 4 frames, and can outrange normal throws. It allows strong Tension-free follow-up combos. During pressure, WT is used most effectively in conjunction with frame traps and lows, with the outcome depending on whether opponents opt to try either countering its start-up or jumping and backdashing to avoid it. Opponents using Faultless Defense excessively to keep Sol out are extra susceptible to WT. It is important to space WT well, because it can be thrown out of start-up if done too close. On whiff, there is a recovery animation which can be easily punished, but it can be Purple Roman Cancelled for safety.

Riot Stamp (RS) is a risky but useful movement-based special, generally used with Sol's back to corner for quickly dodging and whiff punishing attacks. RS recovers quickly upon connecting and Sol is able to act shortly after reaching the apex of his ascent from the second hit, allowing for follow-up combos on hit and safety on block. At mid-screen, RS is punishable on reaction by 6P, invulnerable attacks, Blitz Shield, or otherwise, so it is dangerous to use frequently. With Sol’s back to the corner, it becomes much more practical, since Sol has less distance to travel backwards. Using Yellow Roman Cancel during the backwards travel of RS is a useful method of quickly distancing yourself from the opponent.

In Dragon Install (DI), the first two hits of Riot Stamp are entirely unchanged outside of Tension Gain. For this reason, its use in neutral is almost entirely restricted to the exact same situations as the regular version and therefore should be used sparingly. However, should a (DI) Riot Stamp get as far as that second hit, the situation quickly changes. After Sol kicks down, an inferno rises from underneath the opponent. This inferno has a ludicrous amount of active frames, and as Sol himself recovers at the same time he would for the regular version, his advantage on block goes from high to frankly absurd. Similarly, on hit, Sol gets a lot more freedom to do as he pleases.

Ground Viper is the in-game romanization of Grand Viper. Grand Viper (GV) is the most risky attack in Sol’s arsenal, it has massive recovery and cannot be cancelled on whiff.

The player must rapidly press directions and buttons (not including D) to achieve the maximum travel distance and 9 hits. GV will reach the opponent quickly from nearly full screen, so it is useful for catching opponents out of anything they might be doing from far away. It can low profile any attack that does not reach the floor, which can be useful at neutral, on wake-up, or while being pressured. Mid-screen ground hits confirmed into GV will lead to high damage combos with great corner carry.

  • Hits low for all but the last 3 hits, minimum of 5 hits, maximum of 9 hits. Rapid directional and button inputs are required to increase number of hits and travel distance. Knockdown from final hit.

Dragon Install
(DI) 214S

Its faster start-up, movement speed and immediate super low profile state make it a very scary ranged low, a luxury not shared by many other moves. On block, (DI) GV cranks up the opponent’s R.I.S.C. Level to a far greater degree than any other attack he has, basically guaranteeing that the opponent is forced into an automatic Counter Hit state if Sol gets the maximum number of hits. On hit, while Sol can opt to increase hits and therefore damage, there is an incentive to simply letting the attack perform its minimum number of hits. Due to the increased launch height on the final hit, if the hit count remains low, the opponent’s gravity should remain at a state where Sol is able to follow-up with a sufficiently fast anti-air normal such as 5K or 2H and lead into an extended combo. (DI) GV also lacks several of the weaknesses of its regular counterpart. As Sol moves across the ground, he creates a set of high-reaching flame pillars behind him. This makes (DI) GV much harder to jump over. While these flame pillars can be blocked in any way, they do push the opponent back towards Sol, meaning that if a jumping opponent gets caught by a stray flame, they can potentially be pushed back into the rising section of the attack in spite of their attempts to clear it. Sol is able to Purple Roman Cancel to safety should he have the 50% Tension to spare. You can even choose to Yellow Roman Cancel the early portion of the attack if you don’t want to commit to the full thing or simply wish to scare the opponent with a quick burst of forward movement.

Fafnir is a strong neutral and pressure tool. Fafnir has far reach due to Sol stepping a far distance forward, making it ideal in neutral at long distance. It can be used to counter attacks at long range into full screen carry combos or as a whiff punisher. The tumble caused by a Counter Hit can often be followed up even on trades, so it is a frightening move to challenge. Sol’s hurtbox lowers slightly during start-up, so it can duck under certain higher-hitting attacks and counter them. It recovers quickly, so if opponents avoided it by jumping, Sol often recovers fast enough to anti-air. It is useful in ranged pressure when opponents are conditioned not to attack. It must be blocked with Faultless Defense in air, so it can catch opponents at the beginning of their jump. On block, it is plus (unless Instant Blocked) and increases the opponent’s R.I.S.C. Level considerably. Fafnir is used frequently in combos near corner. Its high base damage contributes to Sol's prominent stunning ability, especially from a Counter Hit Fafnir starter. Fafnir’s drawbacks are its relatively slow start-up and large horizontal hurtbox.

While Sol is in Dragon Install (DI), Fafnir can deal up to three hits in immediate succession. Fafnir has more recovery in this state, making it considerably more risky to whiff and noticeably less advantageous on hit. However, its frame advantage on block is slightly higher, so it can be used in largely the same manner. On hit, the opponent’s R.I.S.C. Level decreases by a considerable amount more for (DI) Fafnir than regular Fafnir, causing heavier damage scaling, but the opposite is also true on block. An overly defensive opponent will quickly earn themselves a flashing R.I.S.C. Level.

P.B.B. is Sol’s Dragon Install (DI) exclusive special, used primarily as a combo ender during the final moments of DI to allow Sol to safely recover without repercussion by causing knockdown and creating distance between Sol and the opponent. Uniquely, despite being classified as an air throw, it is possible to land P.B.B. on grounded opponents, but only while they’re already in hitstun. Combined with its fast start-up and short burst of horizontal movement, this allows Sol to end almost any DI combo with P.B.B. without needing to add any unnecessary filler, maximising combo damage. Due to its nature as an air throw, there is the potential to use P.B.B. for resets on an opponent attempting to air tech away, or to use it to throw someone out of Burst start-up.

Tyrant Rave ver.β (TR) is primarily used to do unburstable damage in combos, usually when it will kill. It also gives high damage combos from a corner 2D hit. It can be used as a more costly reversal option on wake-up or in pressure. However, Roman Canceling Volcanic Viper is almost always a better idea since it is much less risky. TR is slightly unsafe on block, whether the opponent interrupts the second hit or not. As a reversal, the only benefits TR has over VV are that it has more horizontal range and cannot be Bursted. Although when 75% Tension is available, TR has the added benefit of allowing Yellow Roman Cancel, so it can safely be cancelled when the opponent is ready to block it. It can also be used on offense similarly to VV as a frame trap, but this is rarely practical.

The Dragon Install (DI) version of Tyrant Rave ver.β (TR) is a very scary Overdrive. The first hit is basically the same, albeit a couple of frames slower, but the scary part is what follows. The second hit is replaced by a travelling blast of fire, dealing 15 hits total and travelling from Sol's fist across the entire length of the screen. The raw damage on this attack is immense, especially during Hell Fire, and the increased strike invulnerability makes it not entirely terrible to just throw out. While Sol is at a disadvantage on block, the pushback from the blast forces the opponent to either Instant Block the first hit and punish before the second, or not at all. Where (DI) TR really shines though, is as a late combo part in the corner. The projectile causes wall stick near the corner, allowing for easy P.B.B. enders. Furthermore, if you delay (DI) TR so that the first hit connects right before the opponent hits the ground, they'll stick to the wall low enough to guarantee the slump afterwards. Because of this, many combos with (DI) TR can then be followed up with a grounded combo continuation into an ender.

Dragon Install (DI) is a situational, high-risk, high-reward Overdrive in which Sol’s movement speed is increased, his normals become noticably faster and safer, and his specials are all buffed significantly. If used in neutral, Sol gains a great amount of initiative: He recovers instantly once the super freeze ends, and the combination of his speed advantage and his reward off any given hit is large enough that it becomes very risky for opponents to attempt to force the pace of the match into their favour. Of course, DI itself carries a large risk. When the mode’s natural duration ends and Sol returns to neutral on the ground, he is forced into a lengthy recovery animation, making him incredibly vulnerable to a counter-offensive. Due to this, DI is only really recommended in situations where the recovery animation will not come into play, either to make a last minute comeback, to quickly finish off an opponent hanging on by a thread, or in a combo that can guarantee a safe exit out of DI. With proper timing, the invulnerability on DI allows it to be used after a knockdown as a big call-out against reversal attempts, especially those intending to Roman Cancel upon connecting. DI can also be used to create Burst-safe points in certain situations. Can be roman canceled just as the animation starts, only burns the meter for the cancel and cancels the transformation.

Like most Instant Kills (IK), Branding Breach is only particularly useful in two situations: When an opponent is stunned and you have the means to quickly activate IK Mode, or when the conditions to combo into IKs are met. As far as the attack start-up itself is concerned, Branding Breach is actually a fairly versatile IK.

If conclusion conditions are met, it becomes possible to combo into Branding Breach off a Roman Cancelled Ground Throw or Wild Throw mid-screen, and any corner combo leading into a high air hit Fafnir can also combo into Branding Breach without requiring a Roman Cancel.

  • Uses the animation of his Fafnir.
  • Used for killing stunned opponents, and comboing into a guaranteed finish during match point when opponent is in Hell Fire state.
  • Cannot be cancelled into from normals.

Supplemental Frame Data:
