Peacock

Once a war orphan slave named Patricia, Peacock’s body was gruesomely mutilated by slave traders that captured her. She was rescued by Dr. Avian’s Anti-Skullgirls Labs, and rebuilt with a reality-defying arsenal of biomechanical weaponry: the Argus System augmented her body, and the Avery Unit gave her access to unprecedented weaponry.

Alas, they couldn’t do anything for her mind: Peacock’s damaged psyche and abiding love of cartoons shaped her new “toys” into a terrifying gang of cronies, who she has no qualms using to paint the town red... with blood. Terrifying as she is, she may be the kingdom’s best bet against the Skullgirl.[1]

• Official Peacock Trailer

In a nutshell
Peacock has the moves, the toys, and the mean streak to play a perfect zoning game. All three George projectiles can appear on screen at the same time to stick her opponent into frusturating lockdown from any range. Her teleport has the versatility to take her right to her opponent's face for a suprise close range attack or ruin the opponents fun by taking her out of a corner. At full screen distance her gun shots confirm that any of her combos can end with an aganozing look into the eyes of Argus. Peacock's ideal range depends on the matchup, but with a strong Ensemble to back her up she'll always find a way to fill the screen with garbage.

Basics

Movement
Walk:	Slow
Jump:	Double jump
Dash or Run:	Peacock has a forward run with brief start up and average speed. Her backward dash is slow, covers a long distance, and leaves her in the air for the last few frames.
Air Dash:	Peacock has slow, 2 way (forward and backward) air dashes. Both have a brief start ups like her forward run. Peacock cannot double jump after her forward air dash, and holding the forward direction as she lands will start a run as she hits the ground.

Signature Techniques

• Peacock's wide array of normal, special and Blockbuster attacks let her fight with a highly effective zoning strategy. Peacock can send multiple projectiles at an opponent, forcing them to dodge or endure lengthy block stuns from full screen. Peacock's teleport, The Hole Idea, lets her escape should she get bit uncomfortable at close range. At her best Peacock only needs a single successful projectile to hit confirm into Argus Agony, an extremely quick, full screen beam.

• Whenever the opponent blocks a special move , Peacock slowly drains their life with unavoidable chip damage. If the defending player must block a George bomb or falling item, why not add on 3 extra hits of chip with Bang Bang Bang!? The damage adds up surprisingly quickly, and can give Peacock a lot of Dramatic Tension if the opponent keeps blocking at full screen.

• As a solo character Peacock can struggle without a close range Ensemble for defense. Her general strategy makes her a better anchor character for a team. Coming out later in the round lets teammates stock up Dramatic Tension for her, giving Peacock plenty of ammunition for hit confirms into Argus Agony. A Blockbuster Sequel into Argus Agony will, rather conveniently, send the opponent to full screen distance for Peacock to immediately begin her ranged attacks as she tags in. Peacock often wastes a lot of time while she's running away and trying to deal damage from full screen, allowing her to win rounds by intentional time out more often than other characters.

Ensemble Selection

• Screwball Cannonball (s.HP): This versatile Default Ensemble Choice may be Peacock's best. At long range, this attack acts as a Ensemble. At shorter ranges this 2 hit, high block stun move can trap the opponent for the point character.

• BANG! (↓↘→+MP): When called during a combo, this Default Ensemble Choice can the opponent and start a combo for the point character.

• Bang Bang Bang! (↓↘→+HP): Limited to only one button press for her custom action, Peacock can only shoot a single with this attack as an custom Ensemble.

• George (↓↘→+K): All 3 versions of George work as a custom Ensemble. LK George walks slow and can stay on the screen for a unusually long amount of time after Peacock leaves. The fast MK version allows the point character to charge in behind projectile backup. The HK plane's short reach from the side of the screen makes it less attractive as a projectile Ensemble, but it is one of Peacock's few anti air Ensemble choices. The best George Ensemble may depend on Peacock's team or the preferences of the player.

• Shadow of Impending Doom (↓↙←+P): Although Peacock cannot charge this move for a custom action, dropping a level 1 item gives Peacock an unconventional anti-air Ensemble choice.

With a 6 button chain for crouching normals, Peacock can chain cancel her c.HP when most characters cannot. c.HP chains into s.HK or c.HK, which is useful for chaining c.MK > c.HP > c.HK for 3 low hits in a row.

Normal Throws

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ Burlap Beatdown 50% Damage Scaling Peacock's normal throw is slower and has longer range than the average LP+LK from the rest of the cast. When Peacock manages catch an opponent she can make it count by using her Goodfellows Blockbuster. Even without 3 meters the slide can combo into a BAND BANG BANG! or Argus Agony.

If she manages to hold a Shadow of Impending Doom before landing the throw, the extra hit from the falling item gives her enough time to land and attempt an extended combo.

Special Moves

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ Bang! Peacock shoots flag out of her revolver, her fastest ↓↘→+P attack. This move can be used as a reversal if Peacock wants to take a guess on defense, cancel a c.HK to make it slightly safer, or go through her own Lonesome Lenny explosion in certain creative combos. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 700 (2.5%) 11.4% 16 3 25 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 6 26 21 -1 -6 Invuln!

+ BANG! Default Ensemble Choice Peacock shoots a randomly chosen sword from her revolver. The move always has the same properties. Peacock can use the wall bounce and combos near the corner. With invulnerability to throws only, Peacock must make a rather narrow guess to use the attack as a reversal. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 700 (2.5%) 11.4% 20 2 23 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 11 18 21 -3 Invuln!

+ BANG BANG BANG! Peacock shoots up to 3 bullets, which appear as the same randomly chosen objects from s.HP. The second and third shot can be delayed by timing the additional HP presses, even to the point where they where they no longer combo. The full, 3 hit attack pushes the opponent back on block while generating meter for Peacock. On hit the lengthy stun makes hit confirms to Argus Agony extremely easy. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 350 (2.5%) 3.6% 18 - 33 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 11 (8 on block) 18 15 -3 -9 Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 350 (2.5%) 2.6% 6 - 38 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 11 (8 on block) 18 15 -8 -14 Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 350 (2.5%) 2.6% 6 - 43 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 11 (8 on block) 18 15 -13 -19

+ (hold) Shadow of Impending Doom Head's up! Peacock causes a randomly chosen falling object to drop on her opponent. The LP version falls at set distance directly in front, the MP version falls at nearly full screen distance, and the HP version tracks the opponent as Peacock holds the button for the attack. Charging Shadow of Impending Doom delays the projectile, growing shadow and increasing the size of the item. The move will cancel if Peacock gets hit, but continues to charge as she attacks or blocks. Level 1 and level 2 projectiles have the same amount of damage and hit stun for all possible falling items. Most level 3 versions are the same, but Peacock can get lucky and drop an item with unique effects. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 850 OR 1400 OR 2100 (2.5%) 7.9% OR 9.1% OR 11.4% 12 - 18 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 9 OR 11 OR 14 26 OR 34 OR 38 21 OR 21 OR 24 N/A N/A The "Tenrai Ha" level 3 item appears infrequently, has multiple hits, and causes more total damage than other level 3 items. The "Road Roller" level 3 item appears rarely, causes a cinematic on hit and deals significantly higher damage than other level 3 items.

+ George's Day Out Peacock pulls out a George bomb, who hits as a projectile as he appears and during his leisurely walk across the screen. George will walk under conventional projectiles and will not explode or disappear if Peacock gets hit. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 550 (2.5%) 4.5% 10, 1 - 22 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 9 23 13 12 2

+ Boxcar George Peacock calls a George bomb in go kart, hitting as a projectile and always appearing from the side of the screen. Like the slower LK George, this stays low to the ground, avoids other projectiles, and doesn't disappear when Peacock gets hit. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 650 (2.5%) 4.5% 18 - 21 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 9 23 17 N/A N/A

+ George at the Air Show Peacock calls a George bomb in plane, appearing from the side of the screen and crashing to the ground in a half screen length arc. As always George hits as a projectile and won't disappear when Peacock gets hit. Unlike the LK and MK bombs, this George will explode on his own. HK George is one of the only projectiles Peacock has to protect her against airborne opponents. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 550 (2.5%) 4.5% 18 - 22 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 9 23 17 N/A N/A

+ The Hole Idea Hocus poke you! Peacocks teleports, going nowhere with LK, directly in front of the opponent with MK, and directly behind the opponent with HK. The invulnerability lets Peacock use the move to escape bad situations up close or even surprise the opponent by getting closer. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery N/A (2.5%) 24 N/A 28 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A

During The Hole Idea: Fire in the Hole! Peacock fakes teleport, staying in place with the same start up invulnerability and placing a bomb at the opponent's feet. Holding the P button during The Hole Idea ensures the fake will trigger with no timing requirement for the button press. Unfortunately, this also makes it impossible to teleport while holding a button for Shadow of Impending Doom. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 550 (2.5%) 7.0% 41, 29 7 28 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 9 23 17 N/A N/A

Team Moves

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ OR + Pop Goes the Weasel Tag In Move over, dingbat! A unique attack that appears from the bottom of the screen. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 700 (2.5%) 11.4% 16 3 25 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 6 26 21 -1 -6 Peacock becomes vulnerable after 14f of recovery.

Blockbusters

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ + Argus Agony Uses 1 level of Dramatic Tension Avery! The Eyes of Argus! Peacock's hat and arms transform into a laser array, shooting a 6 hit initial beam and 30 smaller, single hit projectiles. All of the smaller hits will not connect in most situations. As a beam, the laser's attack box covers the entire length of the screen as soon as it becomes active. It can hit multiple defending characters and nullify all oncoming projectiles on the same frame. Peacock can center most of her offense on landing this powerful Blockbuster, pushing the opponent to full screen as it hits, and using the distance to get as many other projectiles going as possible. Although the Blockbuster has invulnerable frames, it many not be the best idea to use this move at point blank as a reversal; it is unsafe on hit at point blank. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 250 x5, 350, 320 x30 -100% 6 + 10 - 40 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 8 x5, 24, 2 x30 25 x5, 28 x31 17 x6, 19 x30 -8 (or worse) -11 (or worse) Invulnerable for start up frames after 2f of start up.

+ + Lonesome Lenny Uses 1 level of Dramatic Tension Fall down go boom! Peacock plants a massive Lenny bomb. Lenny has 4800 HP that acts as a timer, counting down at 1 HP per frame and ending with a massive, single hit explosion that damages opponents, Peacock, and Peacock's teammates. Both teams can hit Lenny, pushing him across the screen and damaging him, effectively shortening his fuse. Creative use of Lenny in a Blockbuster Sequel can lead to combos that last long enough to guarantee the opponent gets stuck in the explosion. Some players find Lenny combos lightly less impressive if they involve friendly fire. Do the ends truly justify the means? Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 3800 -100% 4 + 3 N/A 27 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 16 24 27 N/A N/A

Invulnerable through all start up through 5f of recovery.

During Burlap Beatdown: + + Goodfellows Uses 3 levels of Dramatic Tension All together now! Peacock's level 3 Blockbuster causes large, scaling free damage from a normal throw. The throw "requirement" makes this move impossible to use as a Blockbuster Sequel. A throw then a more complex combo may be more efficient damage for the tension, but many players find the stylish animation a more entertaining way to end a round.
