Overview
Neptune is often miscategorized as the shoto of the game due to her having a fireball and a DP. After playing enough Sailor Moon however, you come to realize you can not play a shoto playstyle with her due to the game’s guard cancel mechanics and Neptune’s questionable fireball, undoubtedly her biggest weakness in a game where everyone has at least a decent fireball. Instead, Neptune thrives off of cornering opponents and mixing them up, as well as having a frame 3 invincible dragon punch with a hitbox the size of old Ken’s entire body. It can get any character off of you if they are too close. Good normals, a standing overhead, and the 3rd fastest walk speed in the game round off the character. Solid fighting game fundamentals will get you far with Neptune at first, and a good understanding of matchups will allow you continue even further. If you like outplaying your opponent and not spamming fireballs, then start practicing your dragon punch inputs.

Neptune abuses her dragon punch, Splash Edge, in neutral (and everywhere else) until she can approach the enemy to hit them with the high/low/throw mix.
Pros
Cons
- Ridiculous DP: Her Splash Edge move is by far the best reversal in the game, being frame 3/4 and invincible from the first, and it's an option the opponent always has to respect.
- Amazing Mix Ups And Pressure: With her long-ranged normals, standing overhead and great tick throw set ups, Neptune can make it really hard to escape her pressure and corner once she gets her game going.
- Great Damage: Neptune possesses some very damaging combos that can melt the opponent's lifebar away.
- Bad Fireball: Not only Deep Submerge has a lot of recovery and an awkward angle, but it also elongates her head hurtbox a lot, making her extremely susceptible at being headshot.
- Struggles Approaching Zoning: Despite her good walk speed, Neptune can have a very hard time against zoners, being herself a failed zoner.
