 Ladiva  Ladiva is a grappler-type character who wants to get up close and personal to threaten opponents with throw/strike mix-ups and terrifying damage.

Pros
Cons
  • OVERWHELMING corner presence.
  • Has the best one-chance potential in the game: extremely high damage and never-ending pressure.
  • Headbutt of Love allows her to contest projectiles and reset pressure.
  • Increased base health means trading damage is sometimes risky, yet advantageous for distance.
  • No projectiles to effectively nullify keep-away, effectively making approaching harder.
  • Can easily be locked down.

With c.L, f.L, and 2L all being tied for your fastest button at 6f, there will be times where Ladiva can't punish specific moves or contest certain frametraps. To compensate, all of them have fantastic range for Light buttons and high frame advantage letting Ladiva pressure on block with strong blockstrings or link into other normals such as 2U. They make excellent tick throws into command grab as well.

Common links are into 2U for knockdown, c.M for better damage, or just into itself for hit confirming.

On Hit Invuln

A fast, special cancelable kick with a large downward hitbox. Has farther range than c.L, letting Ladiva get Auto Combo in situations where c.L doesn't come out. With only 1 active frame, Ladiva will not get any extra frame advantage as a meaty, but thanks to it's speed and good hitbox it can be used as a frame trap and will also hit the opponent out of Cross-Over. On block, it's not the worst but anyone with a 5f Light will be able to beat any move that is not invul and Light Headbutt can be interrupted if canceled into it. EX Headbutt works as a frametrap, however. Against 6f moves, Light and EX Screwdriver will beat them.

On CH it's +8 on hit, letting Ladiva link into another c.M, f.M, 2M, or 2U.

Slow, but very high damage starter. With a high number of active frames and only being -2 on block, it's suitable as a meaty on the opponents wake-up capable of being up to +3 on block if timed correctly. It can also frametrap into Light Headbutt with only a 2f gap that can be delayed. c.H will, however, not hit Cross-Over.

On CH it's at a extremely high +14 on hit, letting Ladiva link into a second c.H for very high damage. It also lets c.H combo into Medium Headbutt for high meterless damage.

Primarily only for hit confirming or combos routes that don't use EX specials. If you have no specials available, Ladiva would rather combo into 2U to set up stronger offense. c.X have enough blockstun to make canceling into EX Headbutt be frametrap, and c.XX have enough to make both Light and EX Headbutt a frametrap.

Auto Combo can mostly be used for utility purposes. Even if it will lessen the damage by small amounts, using Auto Combo can let you buy time to get specials off cooldown if needed.

A fairly long range Light with high + frames. At 6f, it's a valuable tool to check the opponent in neutral, during their pressure, and confirming into 2U get get your offense started. Unlike c.L and 2L, f.L is a lvl 2 normal, which gives it frame advantage on CH and lets it crush other lvl 1 moves.

On CH it's +8 on hit, letting Ladiva link into a f.M, 2M, and 2U even at max range. It can also combo into Light and EX Lariat on CH.

On Hit Invuln

A decently fast, long range Medium. One of Ladiva's best normals for poking and whiff punishing. Combos into Light and EX Lariat at any range, as well as EX Headbutt but not on max range. Does not hit Cross-Over.

While not as strong as other more notorious mid range moves, such as Katalina's f.M, it's still a staple and strong move in neutral. What Ladiva truly lacks are specials that are suitable to be canceled into, however. All Lariats can be ducked and won't combo on crouching hit, making them all very punishable, and only EX Headbutt has the range, speed, and frame advantage to make it a strong special to cancel into. Even tho it may not combo on hit at max range, it's still a frametrap if canceled into on block. However, as expected, that means you forgo using Headbutt for a while.

As a whiff punish, it's very strong but do make sure you don't cancel into Lariat in case you catch them crouching.

On Hit Invuln

Long range but high damage poke with high active frames. Due to slow speed and high hitbox, it's a difficult move to use in neutral and almost impossible to whiff punish with. However, due to it's forward momentum it will almost always combo into Light Headbutt or frame trap into it. Overall, it has more limited uses compared to her other normals.

On Hit Invuln

A good range Light with the same frame advantage as c.L and f.L.

c.L sees use as a hit confirm and tick throw normal, altho in both aspects it's less effective than the other options. It can only link into itself and other Light normals, and because it's a lvl 1 attack it gains no additional frame advantage on CH.

However due to being a crouching normal you will always get this normal no matter the range giving you some stability in that frame advantage, and it will let you whiff punish or stuff certain moves that Ladiva's other Lights will not hit due to it's lower hitbox. It also hits cross-over 2L.

On Hit Invuln

A long range low hitting Medium. Complements f.M in neutral by hitting low and can whiff punish certain attacks and hitboxes that f.M can't hit, at the cost of having slightly shorter range and more whiff recovery.

2M and f.M are very similar with having same speed, damage, can combo into the same specials, and attack level. Both share similar uses in neutral with small differences to make them cover different angles. 2M is safer on block and hit, and is one of the few moves Ladiva has that can hit Cross-Over. It's also the best option Ladiva has of hitting moves low to the ground, such as Ferry's 2M that f.M can't hit.

Together with f.M makes up the bread and butter of Ladiva's neutral and poking game.

  • On anti-air counter hit, can do 214M from first hit
  • Despite the animation, does not launch on grounded hit, but will lift airborne opponents a bit.
  • Low profile, can go under some ground attack with high hitbox like her 214X.
  • Will force the opponent to stand up on hit

On Hit Invuln

A very fast good range sweep. Ladiva does a dropkick that actually leaves her airborne, meaning on clash she can cancel into air moves.

An essential move for Ladiva. Being able to combo into sweep is a valuable tool to have, and is a good start for Ladiva's offense. She can also safe-jump 11f DPs such as Charlotta Holy Ladder and Ferry's DP if you jump immediately after 2U and if it's a counter-hit then you can safe-jump even those 7f DPs. 2U is also a valuable whiff punish as well, and due to it's speed and good range it's very adept at that.

Fastest air normal and the normal with the shortest range. Unlike some other j.L normals it is not active for the entire duration of the jump. Can cross-up.

j.L sees use the most when you intentionally don't want the opponent to stay in hitstun for long, leaving them open for a regular throw or Screwdriver earlier than what they might expect. It's short range and active frames works to its advantage at times when you intentionally want a jump-in normal to whiff, again leaving the opponent open for a grab or simply want to bait their Anti-Air.

Unsuitable for air-to-airs however, due to it's aforementioned poor range and it's downward facing hitbox.

A jumping Medium with a very deep hitbox. Has the longest Vertical reach of all Ladiva's jumping normals letting it hit earlier than expected, and also hit Cross-Over where other air normals will whiff.

Clever use of this normal can let Ladiva beat out anti-airs that would normally beat her other jumping normals. In safe-jumps, it also acts as her only jumping normal that can hit wake-up Cross-Over, further reducing their defensive options against her oki.

Air normal with the longest horizontal reach. Highest damage air normal. Have no cross-up hitbox.

As the longest reaching air normal, it acts as Ladiva's best long range jump-in. It's lack of cross-up hitbox works to it's advantage by letting Ladiva fake a cross-up and immediately go for a grab.

On Hit Invuln

The Grappler bodyslash. Has shorter horizontal reach than j.M. Very strong cross-up hitbox.

An essential normal for many reasons. The opposite in function to j.H, this normal is a powerful cross-up and is the normal to condition the opponent to block to make j.L and j.H work as grab mixups. Due to it's poor horizontal reach, it can be used to fake out the opponent believing that you are going for a j.H but instead land and go for something else.

Ladiva charges forward before performing a command grab on the opponent. Very slow to start.

Despite the similarities in concept to the classic Running Bear Grab, Ladiva will not grab until the end of the animation.

5U-X ♫ This is the true love we're makin' ♫

A follow-up toss that Ladiva can perform after connecting Love Grapple. M sends the opponent forward, H sends the opponent upward.

Note that using the M version in or near the corner will actually cause a side-switch, as the opponent will bounce off the wall and then through Ladiva. Pressing nothing or using the H followup will keep the opponent on the same side.

Ladiva charges at her opponent to perform a lariat and a dropkick in quick succession. This attack has projectile invulnerability, but there are some exceptions (can't go through Ferry's SBA). It is, however, an incredible long-range whiff-punish tool.

Even though it only has projectile invulnerability after the flash, you can use 6 frames of full invulnerability on its start up frames to go through a non-projectile attack if you can time it right.

Technical input give you a better oki (opponent wake up closer to you).
