Parasoul

Few know the terrors of the Skullgirl as intimately as Parasoul does: seven years ago her own mother became the Skullgirl that nearly destroyed the world. This tragic past has made her fiercely protective of both her country and her family, and these two priorities frequently come into conflict.

Parasoul is now the crown princess of the Canopy Kingdom and leader of its elite military squad, the Black Egrets. Wielding the living umbrella, Krieg, she fights with grace, poise and cunning to defend her family honor and destroy the Skull Heart so no one can repeat her mother’s terrible mistake.[1]

• Official Parasoul Trailer

In a nutshell
Parasoul's charge commands and uneven stride may seem awkward at first, but with some skill her long range pokes and versatile projectiles combine with the elegance expected from royalty. Kreig's flames can detonate the napalm tears left after her special moves, letting Parasoul add hits to her combos or effectively control space as long as they remain on screen. The overall priority of her jump in attacks command respect out of any opponent, opening them up for a well timed Ensemble. Parasoul plays well on a team but is bold enough to fight solo. The Black Egrets have her back to the bitter end, even if it means taking a bullet for their princess.

Signature Techniques

• Parasoul leaves Kreig's napalm tears on screen after Napalm Shot (← charge →+P) and Napalm Toss (↓↙←+K). The tears stay in place on screen and will disappear if Parasoul gets hit, similar to a . After ~180f the tears detonate, dealing damage to any opponent caught in the explosion. A maximum 3 tears can be left on screen at a time. Many of Parasoul's attacks have a fire effect in their animation and the Ignites Tears property. These attacks will detonate any tears they touch, adding hits to Parasoul's normal chains if she can trap an opponent on top of a tear. Parasol can manually detonate tears with her Napalm Trigger and Napalm Quake (↓ charge ↑+K) special moves. At long range, Parasoul can cancel a tear explosion to a Silent Scope (↓↘→+PP) for a full screen combo.
• Parasoul's two strong overheads cab keep opponents guessing on the ground. Pistol Whip (→+LP) chains into other ground normals like any light attack and hits extremely fast for a move that forces an opponent to block . Forbearance (←+HK) chains like a heavy move from any light or medium ground normal, meaning Parasoul can both chain out of and chain into overhead attacks.
• The range of many of Parasoul's fencing-inspired strikes with Krieg give her normals more reach than most of the cast. Touché (s.LP) reaches nearly half screen, much further than the typical s.LP. Poêle à Frire (j.HP) and Lunge (→+HP) also out range equivalent moves from other cast members.

Ensemble Selection

• Napalm Shot (← charge →+P): All versions of this attack, including the Default Ensemble Choice MP version, act as a for the initial hit. The tear will set on screen and eventually explode after its standard timer. It will not disappear if the point character gets hit.
• Forbearance (←+HK): As a Default Ensemble Choice, this slow normal attack will force opponents to block . Parasoul's point teammate can attack low and easily start a combo from the on hit.
• Napalm Shot (← charge →+P): As an Ensemble this will hit normally then leave the explosive tear on screen to hit again after its standard timer. The angled MP version is a Default Ensemble Choice. Opponents must hit Parasoul to remove the tear after it sets on screen, which can be difficult after she's left the screen.
• Napalm Pillar (↓ charge ↑+HK): This custom Ensemble may be Parasoul's best overall choice for an Ensemble. It hits anti air, covering enough space above, in front, and behind Parasoul to hit anything close to her point teammate.
• Napalm Toss (↓↙←+K): When used as a custom Ensemble, Parasoul can only throw a one tear from a single button input custom action. The tear will set on screen at the default range for the button strength, exploding after its standard timer. Like with Napalm Shot, the opponent can't hit Parasoul and remove the tear if she's off screen.
• Egret Charge (← charge →+HK): Although not actually a projectile, as a custom Ensemble the motorcycle will act like a slow projectile after Parasoul leaves the screen. The on hit gives the point character the opportunity to start a combo.

Arc de Feu Chains Twice, Ignites Tears Parasoul swings Krieg in a wide, vertical arc. The second hit reaches further than the first with a slightly different animation.

Queen's Gambit Chains Twice This kick reaches farther and higher for the second hit and works well with Parasoul's s.LK. Hitting an opponent OTG with s.LK > s.LK > s.MK > s.MK > s.HK will push an opponent up from the ground with the two s.MK hits, setting up for the s.HK and an elevated wall bounce.

Elegance A high kick that causes a wall bounce, or just sends the opponent across the screen if far enough away from the corner. Parasoul has a hard time comboing off of the bounce without using an OTG because of the kick's lengthy recovery. Canceling into a Napalm Toss will let Parasoul take another action faster than letting the attack recover on its own.

(air) Poêle à Frire Ignites Tears Parasoul attacks with a massive swing. Krieg's explosion covers her otherwise predictable jump arc and out ranges most of the anti-airs an opponent might use against Parasoul. She can often jump directly at a standing character behind a j.HP, confident they can't do anything about it but block.

Special Moves

(charge) + Napalm Shot Default Ensemble Choice (MP) Ignites Tears Krieg shoots a napalm tear projectile. The LP version shoots straight forward and moves slowly, MP version shoots diagonally down forward and caroms off the ground, and HP version shoots straight forward and moves faster than the LP version. All 3 versions hit once as a projectile and leave the tear on screen at impact with identical properties to a Napalm Toss tear. lp version: Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 325 (2.5%) 2.3% 15, 1 - 25 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 10 (8 on block) 20 17 7 2 Firing while another shot is still on screen fires a blank in a 29f animation. mp version: Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 325 (2.5%) 2.3% 16, 1 - 29 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 10 (8 on block) 20 17 3 -2 Firing while another shot is still on screen fires a blank in a 31f animation. hp version: Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 350 (2.5%) 2.3% 19, 1 - 34 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 10 (8 on block) 23 17 1 -7 Firing while another shot is still on screen fires a blank in a 36f animation.

(charge) + Egret Call Not now! Parasoul quickly dismisses a soldier as he appears on screen. This extremely short recovery special move can cancel other moves to reduce their overall recovery. Parasoul can only have one soldier on screen at a time from special moves. The Egret Call soldier remains on screen longer than MK and HK soldiers.

(charge) + Egret Charge Clear the way! Parasoul calls a soldier to charge across the screen on a motorcycle, who will drag the defending character to the corner on hit. Opponents can stop an Egret Charge by hitting the motorcycle with a non-projectile attack. The soldier will not interact with projectiles and will stay on screen even if Parasoul takes a hit.

The toss does not hit on its own, only as the explosion from the tear on screen. The kick button used determines the tear's trajectory, and holding the button during the attack will cause the tear to set on release. Tapping the button will set the tear to a default, moderate distance.

Blockbusters

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ + Silent Scope Uses 1 level of Dramatic Tension Ready, Number 13. Parasoul calls for a sniper shot on a radio, which hits as a projectile after the super flash and during Parasoul's recovery animation. This Blockbuster is slow enough to not combo off of most normal attacks but fast for an attack that reaches full screen. The shot will always fire, even if Parasoul gets hit during the recovery. Opponents who trade hits with the shot can give Parasoul a shorter recovery and more time to start a combo off of the stun. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 1500 -100% 8 + 0, 16 4 111 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 25 19 17 -52 Invulnerability for the last 4f of start up.

+ + Motor Brigade Uses 1 level of Dramatic Tension Black Egrets, charge! Parasoul summons 6 motorcycle soldiers to attack the opponent. All of the soldiers are one hit each, cannot be hit or thrown, and will explode when hit with a projectile. Parasoul summons the soldiers one at a time and will send less than a full brigade if the opponent interrupts her animation. On block, Motor Brigade leaves Parasoul relatively safe. Canceling Napalm Pillar to Motor Brigade will combo on hit and make the reversal special move significantly safer on block. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 380 x6 -100% 3 + 0 -, (6) -, (6) -,(6) -, (6) -, (6) - 53 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 9 24 24 N/A Invulnerability through all start up until 4f after the super flash.

+ + Inferno Brigade Uses 1 level of Dramatic Tension Egrets assemble! Parasoul and her soldiers fire many low damage shots at the opponent. This attack has the most invulnerability of Parasoul's Blockbusters, can tear right through oncoming projectiles, and will combo off of nearly anything. The many low damage hits will efficiently deal damage after scaling has taken full effect at the end of a long combo. Parasoul can interrupt this Blockbuster with Egret Call to interrupt her animation while the Egrets continue to fire. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 240 x45, 260 x27 -300% 5 + 10, 1 - 3, 48 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 7 x72 18 x72 13 x72 -20 (or worse) Invulnerability for all start up through 25f of active.
