Normal Moves

5A

5A	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 35 L 5 4 15 -1 -3 - - 5A is Pom's fastest normal at 5 frames and a low; however, its short range can make it unsuitable for punishing some moves, or for throwing out as abare. It often catch people trying to stand block because it's a quick standing low.

6A

6A	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 90 M 8 3 24 -8 -5 - - A standard anti air, that can also be used as combo or blockstring filler. Invincible from the legs up from frame one. Be wary of input overlap with [4]6A.

5B

5B bAAHH	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 85 M 9 5 19 2 - - - Pom swipes her arms upward. Mostly combo and blockstring filler, as it does little that 2B isn't equal or better at.

5C

5C	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 160 M 13 5 34 -10 -12 - - A long range dog bite. Hits from far away and very unsafe to whiff. It has the longest blockstun of any of Pom's cancellable grounded normals, making it useful as a cancelable normal to end block strings in 236A.

2A

2A	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 30 L 6 5 14 -1 -4 - - A basic 2A. Hits low, longer range than 5A, but 1 frame extra of startup.

2B

2B

Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 100 M 8 5 19 0 -6 - - Your new best friend. With a great hitbox, a paper thin hurtbox, good startup, and the ability to convert into a combo after hitting this in almost any situation, you will be using this move a lot. It doesn't reach nearly as high as 6A, so be careful not to do it too early, or get caught by a character that can change their jump arc.

2C

2C	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 140 L 16 5 31 HKD 28 -16 - - A long range sweep. Dangerous to whiff, just like 5C. Inflicts hard knock down if it hits while the JDG bar is not full.

3C

3C Big Mouth Strikes Again	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 130 M 17 7 32 Launch -21 - - Her launcher. Very long horizontal range, but connecting with it at the farther ranges can make it difficult to convert, unless in the corner. Very unsafe and not cancellable on block, so only use it if you know it will hit.

j.A

j.A	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 60 H 8 5 12 - - - - A quick air to air attack. It cannot hit crouching opponents, but is often used after a 3C to continue the combo.

j.B

j.B

Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 30[x3], 100 H 12 9 19 - - - - A 4-hit downward attack with a strong cross-up hitbox. Pom's fastest jumping attack that can generally be used to attack air to ground. The first 3 hits deal very little hitstun, so try to let all 4 hits connect before cancelling it if you plan on doing a combo afterwards.

j.C

j.C

Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 160 H 18 21 20 - - - - Your new second best friend. A huge, long range attack, that arcs forward and down as it travels. Pom's hitbox is slightly extended during it, but it's still a very powerful tool for controlling neutral. Causes ground bounce when it connects on an airborne opponent, which be used to summon dogs mid-combo.

Special Moves

Sheep Herding

Sheep Herding [4]6A/B Run! ouch...

Version Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay A - - 28 - 14 - - - - A short and quick command dash, that is strike invulnerable during "start up", but can be thrown. Can be used as a reversal to beat meaty attacks, but will lose to an opponent who throws expecting the dash. When Pom is on the ground in recover, she can't be thrown, but can be hit. B - - 36 - 14 - - - - A longer range, but slower command dash. Also strike invulnerable, but vulnerable to throws. Its further travel distance can make it more difficult to punish in some cases, but its longer active frames and recovery can make it easier to punish in others. Often helpful for escaping the corner. When Pom is on the ground in recover, she can't be thrown, but can be hit.

Bark!

Bark! [4]6C Ruff Ruff

Version Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay C 60 M 11 9 29 Stagger 30 -18 - - Pom barks loudly, creating a large hitbox in front of her. Pretty fast startup for how big it is, but it's very minus on block, so be careful about just throwing it out. Causes stagger on hit, which can combo into her super, even when the JD bar is full. It can be cancelled into specials on hit, but not on block.

Super

Stampede! 236XX

Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 20[x9], 30[x6], 420 M 4+1 175+ 49 Launch Variable - - A level 1 super that summons a horde of dogs to run over your opponent, with the Big Papa dog finishing it off for big damage. Pom recovers long before the super completes, so it is easy to combo out of, and can be used to make certain normals safe when you don't have dogs available to do that for you. Certain supers can blast straight through all the dogs (Like Velvet's, Oleander's, and Arizona's if she uses level 2), so be careful how you use it against opponents with meter.

Follow Up

Big Papa 214XX

Version Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 1/3 + D 100,250 M 34 9(79)12 6 ~85,~115 - - - 4/6 + D 360 M 84 9 37 Tumble - - - 7/9 + D 40 M 29 9 15 Stagger, 70 - - - Brings out Big Papa as a summon with 4 uses, instead of having him hit as part of the level 1. This super must be performed after Big Papa is on screen, but before he connects with the opponent, meaning you will miss out on some of the damage of the level 1 by summoning him. 1/3+D is a 2 part attack similar to Mama's, but these are more spaced out, with a pause between them. 4/6+D cause him to do a bark attack with a big hitbox, that causes tumble on hit. The startup of this attack is armored, and while he will still lose uses upon being hit, he will still attempt to go through with the attack as long as he has uses remaining. 7/9+D cause him to perform a quick anti-air bite that staggers on hit.

Throws

Forward Throw

Forward Throw B+C / 6B+C

Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 600 Throw 6 1 18 Tumble - - - One of Pom's puppies latches onto the opponent, and bites them several times before Pom yanks him back. Launches the opponent forward and away. You can convert this into a full combo, but it is difficult to do unless you have your opponent in the corner, or dogs to help convert.

Back Throw

Back Throw 4B+C	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 600 Throw 6 1 18 Tumble - - - Same as the forward throw, but the opponent is launched behind Pom instead. It is much easier to convert this into a combo without the use of dogs or the corner.

Air Throw

Air Throw j.B+C	Base Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Adv on Hit Adv on Block First Hit Juggle Decay Base Juggle Decay 300 Throw 8 3 13 HKD 29+ - - - Pom grabs the opponent, flinging them behind her, and herself forward. You need the help of previously summoned dogs to convert this into a combo.

Magic

Pom starts each round with her Magic gauge, which holds 3 stocks, completely filled. She uses magic stocks to call her pups and then a direction + the magic button (D) will cause the pups to do different attacks. Each pup and dog takes a different amount of magic to call.
