GGML/Kliff

Overview

Lore:

Kliff is a brave knight who wields the impossibly massive Dragonslayer, which legends say once took the head of a dragon with a single swing. He was also the man who recruited

Sol into the Order and acted as a father to Testament. He has fought Justice 17 times, but their fight during the Second Sacred Order of Holy Knights tournament proved to be Kliff's last.

Playstyle

Kliff spaces opponents with his strong normals while looking to convert into a stun.
Pros	Cons
Small Size: Since he's among the smallest characters in the game, there's a lot of moves that go over Kliff. Good Air Movement: Kliff has a slow air dash, which combined with his great air normals, is more of an advantage than a disadvantage. Kliff also has his jump dust, which lets him quickly float around the screen while still retaining all his air options. Strong Normals: Kliff has some huge normals, many of which are fast for their size.	Low health: Tied with Chipp for lowest defense, and has the lowest dizzy threshold in the game. Limited Ground Movement: Kliff has a slow walk speed, no dash, and his backdash is a spot dodge, severely limiting his ability to move while grounded. He can use his ground dust as a pseudo dash, but it isn't the best option. Limited Combos: While Kliff does high damage on individual hits, because his ground movement is limited he doesn't have a true infinite despite being able to charge. Additionally, he struggles to combo into knockdowns since his main combo ender, Skull Crusher, keeps the opponent standing. Weak Abare: Kliff's long range normals are great, but his close range normals aren't particularly fast and lack range. Bad Super: Sole Survivor is a contender for one of the worst supers in the game. It's punishable on hit, is hard to combo into, and doesn't do enough damage to justify how hard it is to use. This effectively means Kliff will only be spending meter on FD or for style points.

Normals

How to Read Frame Data

Damage

A quantification of how a character's health bar is reduced when they are hit.

Guard

The act of defending against incoming attacks. Guarding either negates the damage from an attack entirely or reduces it to minor chip damage.

Low: Guarded against while crouching
Mid: Guarded against in either the crouching or standing state, but not while airborne
High: Guarded against in the standing state
All: Guarded against while crouching, standing, or while airborne
Throw: Cannot be guarded against, but only applies to grounded opponents
Unblockable: Cannot be guarded against

Startup: The time before an attack is active including the first active frame. For example, an attack with 10F startup means the attack will do nothing for 9 frames, then hit the opponent on the 10th frame.
Active: The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent.
Recovery: The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before he may perform another action, even blocking.
On-Block: A measure of frame advantage when the opponent blocks an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first.
On-Hit: A measure of frame advantage when the opponent is hit by an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first.
Invuln: No results

One of Kliff's most important moves. During this move Kliff can move left and right, making it a pseudo dash. Making this stronger is the air version, which as well as allowing him to change his air momentum, recovers incredibly quickly with all air options. This lets him use it as a pseudo-air dash that he can fly around the screen with.
