Filia

Image:SG_Filia_icon.png
Filia was once just an average schoolgirl, but one day woke up without any memories and a second mouth on the back of her head. She was now playing host to a Parasite named Samson, an unruly mop of demonic hair with incredible power.

With no memories or anyone to turn to for help, if she ever hopes to piece together her past and survive the inevitable clash with the Skullgirl, Filia will need to trust this mysterious being.[1]

In a nutshell
Filia, despite the schoolgirl uniform and 3 familiar special moves, never wants to play boring. As the archetypal pixie of Skullgirls she wants to take Samson to the opponents face and make them guess which way to block. Her excellent suite of jumping normals combines with her air dash to create crossups, extend combos, and even cover space with mid screen pokes. As a protagonist and hero of Skullgirls, Filia is extremely comfortable starting on point, applying immediate pressure to the opponent with her rushdown tactics, then finding a combo leading to a Blockbuster Sequel.

Basics

Movement
Walk: Average
Jump: Single jump
Dash or Run: Filia has a forward run with an uneven speed. The dash at the beginning is much faster than the extended run. Her backward dash has average speed and travels a short distance.
Air Dash: Very fast, 2 way (forward and backward) air dash.

Signature Techniques

  • Filia's run starts with a very fast dash forward before the slightly slower continuous run, making Wavedashing extremely effective. By rapidly starting a ground dash then crouching (PP then ↓, repeat), Filia can move across the screen much faster than holding the run. No other character in the game receives as large of a speed increase when using this technique.
  • Instant air dashing helps Filia's offense more than any other character. Filia can IAD 5f after starting a jump, giving her the fastest and lowest to the ground air dash in the game. Thigh High (j.LK) out of an IAD is the fastest File:high.png attack Filia has. An instant air dash into a Salon Treatment (j.HP) covers ground with a strong poke and has ample hit stun for confirming into a ground chain.
  • Filia can always rely on her File:startupinv.png , anti-air special move, the Updo (→↓↘+P). Aggressive opponents always have to worry about Filia throwing out an uppercut at an unsafe jump, as a reversal after using a ground recovery, or even while pushblocking to interrupt a what should be block string. A successful Updo can always cancel into a Blockbuster for a combo and becomes quite safe if Filia burns some tension and cancels to Gregor Samson (↓↙←+KK). The classic utility of an invincible anti-air also makes Updo one of the more powerful Ensembles in the game.

Ensemble Choices

  • Ringlet Spike (↓↘→+P): As a File:proj.png Ensemble, the Default Ensemble Choice MP version has a fixed range. Using the LP and HP versions for a custom Ensemble will cover different distances, but the attack will never control as much space as the typical fireball. The point character must carefully position the opponent before calling Filia.
  • Updo (→↓↘+P): An anti-air Ensemble with File:startupinv.png , which both protects the opponent at close range and causes a File:knockdown.png that can start a combo after an OTG. The LP version is a Default Ensemble Choice, so using the more damaging and higher reaching MP or HP versions as a custom Ensemble may be the better option. All versions rank among the best overall Ensembles in the game.
  • French Twist (c.MK): As a custom Ensemble this normal can trap an opponent in its multiple File:low.png hits, giving the point character enough time to attack from a different direction.
  • Hairball (↓↙←+K): Any version of this attack, especially the 6 hit HK version, can catch the opponent in a lengthy block stun as a custom Ensemble.

Samson bites at a large area above Filia to launch the opponent. This attack has a shorter horizontal range than many of Filia's other ground normals, but will always work in specific chain combos. c.MP > s.HP lifts the opponent off of the ground first to let s.HP connect. Chaining c.MK > s.HP will pull opponents to Filia, leaving them at close range for the launcher.

Filia's second launcher readily combos off of any weaker normal but is not as powerful as s.HP. The opponent won't travel as high. Comboing after a super jump cancel will require different air chains than those used with s.HP.

Samson spins around Filia for multiple hits. In an instant air dash the move stays active for a long time and can hit as a cross up, but it isn't necessarily the best move to start a combo. The multiple hits carry a hidden disadvantage from damage scaling. A more damaging, single strike is a better choice as the first hit of a combo.

(air) File:mk.png Bounce and Volume
Filia kicks before Samson attacks, leaving time to cancel into an air dash after the first or second hit. The attack gives Filia a sudden change of momentum during her jump and can hit as a cross up, so an air dash cancel at an unpredictable time during this move can create a tricky block situation for the opponent.

Samson bites directly below Filia. The attack brings Filia to a sudden stop in the air, making it ideal for cross ups against a standing opponent. j.HP > j.HK works as a highly damaging 2 hit jump in to start a combo. Against an aerial opponent it will always cause a knockdown, allowing Filia to end an air chain close to the ground, land, then continue a combo using an OTG.

Look out below!
Filia drops to the floor as Samson sends a spike from the ground. It's not very useful as a conventional fireball, but it can get under some enemy projectiles. The spike will send the opponent upward on hit, making the short range LP version useful for some combos in the corner. The longer range MP and HP versions can cancel the recovery animation of Filia's normal throw then immediately cancel to a Gregor Samson, starting a lengthy combo off of a mid screen throw.

(air) File:qcb.png + File:k.png Airball File:aironly.png File:airdashcancel.png
When Filia uses Hairball in the air, it becomes a versatile tool for both mobility and extending combos. All strengths of Airball have the same number of hits and damage as the MK version of Hairball, with the button strength controlling Filia's trajectory in the air. LK curves upwards, MK goes straight forward, and HK curves down. Using the HK version to cancel the recovery animation of Filia's normal air throw can hit the opponent OTG and transition to a combo after Filia lands. Even if it doesn't hit anything, the attack can work like a second air dash in an unexpected direction. On hit or miss, Filia can cancel the recovery of Airball with an air dash. This is a unique property that allows Filia to cancel directly into another air chain on hit, but can't make the move safer on block.

Death from above!
The Blockbuster version of the Updo cannot be blocked after the super flash; opponents must start holding a block before the flash starts to defend against this move at close range. If opponents don't respect Filia's invincible Updo, a Fenrir Drive might be what it takes to stop their offense. The last hit of this move, the impact as Filia and her opponent hit the ground, does not increase damage scaling for the combo. If used as a Blockbuster Sequel, the move has additional frames of start up after the flash.

Metamorphosis!
Samson transforms into insect wings as Filia charges forward, attacks with multiple hits, and ends with a guaranteed wall bounce. Using the super at different distances from the sides of the stage will send the helpless opponent in various directions. The air version's recovery depends on Filia's height, with a shorter fall to the ground giving a shorter recovery. Filia must adjust her follow up combos accordingly. Gregor Samson stays in active frames indefinitely, only ending when it makes contact with an opponent or crosses sides with the enemy point character.

Samson hurls a massive, single hit projectile. The upward angle will miss against most standing opponents, so it is best placed in a combo against an opponent who is already off the ground. Unfortunately, the super will deal less damage if it doesn't connect on the first frame. Updo can get the opponent in the air and cancel to Trichobezoar if done quickly, guaranteeing the blockbuster hits for full damage.
