Overview
Overview

Eustace is ...
Eustace benefits from using the simplified inputs for Flamek Thunder and Slow Kill because it allows the user to execute block strings which would be either very difficult or impossible with the standard motion inputs.

 Eustace  Eustace is a midrange fighter who uses his grenades from Rat Race to control space and set up combos and pressure.

Pros
Cons
  • Strong neutral: A variety of good pokes, projectiles that hit at different timings and advancing moves sum up to give Eustace a fantastic neutral game.
  • Godlike pressure: In addition to his top-of-class 2L, every single one of Eustace's specials is geared towards offense and nearly all grant him advantage on block.
  • Great conversions with Rat Race+: With a grenade set, Eustace can convert almost any hit into a highly damaging combo from anywhere on screen.
  • Poor damage without setup: Eustace's base damage is extremely poor as he's unable to practically launch the opponent without a grenade.
  • Difficulty scoring knockdowns: Eustace relies heavily on 214X to get knockdowns, and has to spend it at times to convert from certain strings.
  • Shoddy defense: Though he's not the worst at it, Eustace can have a tough time getting out of pressure as he has no meterless reversal.

The H version of Rat Race causes the grenade to stick to the opponent. Certain moves will cause the grenade to detonate allowing for combo followups. These moves are as follows:

  • Follow-up cannot be canceled into special moves.
  • Follow-up sets off H Rat Race grenade, but the first hit does not. Values in [] indicate advantage when 623H is triggered.

Eustace steps forward and strikes with the barrel of the Flamek Thunder. Pressing Unique Action again shoots the Thunder. The follow-up shot can be charged to delay the attack and increase damage, and the second shot will also set off a Rat Race+ grenade.

Useful for frame traps and closing distance, with 5UU being safe on block due to pushback. 5UU doesn't knock down but forces your opponent in an auto-tech quite close to you, so you can dash up and continue your offense on hit. On block, 5UU can be delayed for a frame trap, or cancelled into immediately for a safe, true blockstring. There is almost never any reason not to use the follow-up.

  • Can be charged for an extra hit and more damage.
  • Eustace is in CH state during recovery.

Eustace aims his gun downward and ricochets a shot off of the ground. One of Eustace's myriad ways to extend his pressure, as all three versions of [2]8[X] grant great frame advantage if blocked. Although it's not too difficult to react to it due to its unique animation, Eustace can release the projectile early in the charge for to bait a mash out. Also somewhat useful in neutral to control space, but ironically, none of its versions are good at catching jumps. Best used to mix up your timing between all of Eustace's other projectiles.

A faster-than average fireball in both startup and velocity. Both [4]6L and [4]6M are very spammable and good at winning fireball wars, but are both very unsafe on block. [4]6H, on the other hand, grants some frame advantage, and can be used to extend combos and pressure. Both [4]6L and [4]6H will combo from literally any normal.

On Hit Invuln

[4]6[X] is effectively a laser. All versions will pierce through and destroy other projectiles to hit the opponent, though multi-hit projectiles won't be completely destroyed even by [4]6[H]. All versions of [4]6[X] gain exactly one frame of advantage over their uncharged counterparts, [4]6[M] will grant a soft knockdown on hit, and [4]6[H] grants a hard knockdown and wallbounces.

On Hit Invuln

Stunlight

Eustace stops in place and fires a quick flash. Useful for ending pressure in a frame trap, and combos on crouching CH. During a juggle 214H~L is also very useful for combo extensions. Is very advantageous if it sets off a 623H set, so feel free to continue pressure if that happens. Using this follow-up from 214H grants slightly more advantage than the normal versions.


Takedown

A low slide. Leaves Eustace very vulnerable but travels far.


Assault Knife

Eustace's anti-air attack. Has some invuln. Highest damaging combo ender from 214M and 214H, and if used from 214H, grants a combo extension in the corner on opponents juggled high enough. Slightly less disadvantageous on block if used from 214H


Spreadshot

Eustace hops backward and shoots downward. Has some invuln. The attack is slow, but can be used to create distance. Slightly advantageous on block but puts Eustace too far to take advantage of it. Likely the lowest commitment of all follow-ups, but if overused, your opponent can air throw you on prediction. If it sets off a 623H set, it's advantageous enough for you to continue pressure, or even pick up for a combo if it hits.


Brake

By pressing G, Eustace will stop the dash. This has to be done before the strike of the M or H version. To guarantee an empty 214X, use 214L instead.

Values in [] indicate advantage when 623H is triggered.

On Hit Invuln

Eustace tosses a grenade. The grenade has different properties depending on what version is used, with the H version sticking to the opponent. Mostly useful as a setplay tool, but can see some use in neutral to control space.


L Grenade
  • Explodes on impact.

Slow and loses you your turn.


M Grenade
  • Hits once, then explodes.

Useful on oki to bait your opponent into trying something. It's usable from pretty far, so what they'll do depends on how far away you are when you set it. When they're close, you want to look out for mashing or reversals, and from afar, keep jumps in mind.


H Grenade
  • Sticks to the enemy on impact.
  • Can be set off by Eustace's projectile attacks.

Amazing move. Frame traps from full autocombo and H normals while granting advantage on block, and if you open them up while they've a grenade stuck to them, they eat brutal amounts of damage from anywhere on screen. Allows conversions from UOH, forward throw, air throw, any far normal, any close normal. Can only be combo'd into with c.H on standers and 2H or full autocombo on crouchers.
