Valentine

Valentine is the only survivor of the Last Hope, a group of special Anti-Skullgirl Lab operatives. Before meeting their end at the hands of the Skullgirl, the Last Hope worked for the mysterious Lab Zero and performed duties ranging from reconnaissance and sabotage to advanced research.

Now Valentine dutifully serves the Skullgirl, carrying out her will from the shadows. She keeps to herself, so much of her true nature and personality are unknown.[1]

• Official Valentine Trailer

In a nutshell
Valentine shows up to her fights fully equipped with a suite of medical implements, ninja weapons, complicated normal moves, multiple IADs, poisons, and all of the accouterments needed for a traumatizing rush down strategy. Injecting opponents with poison can deal damage over time or frustrate defending players by leaving a sluggish or laggy character under their control. Valentine preforms best on a team, either by coming out strong with an anti-air Ensemble as backup or by playing anchor and burning meter with her many Blockbusters. If her teammates go out first, Valentine will be happy to use their Dramatic Tension (and maybe even their corpses) as the last hope for the team.

Basics

Movement
Walk:	Average
Jump:	Double jump
Dash or Run:	Valentine has a very fast forward run and backward dash. The back dash is slow, but covers a long distance and takes Valentine off the ground. She is not in a normal jump state during the back dash animation and cannot block or preform normal moves. She can preform a double jump, an air dash, air specials, or air Blockbusters during her back dash.
Air Dash:	Valentine has average speed, 2 way (forward and backward) air dashes. Her forward air dash is not completely horizontal, it moves upward at a 20 degree angle. Her back air dash resembles her bask dash on the ground and can cancel to a double jump, air specials, or air Blockbusters.

Signature Techniques

• Valentine's forward air dash moves up-forward at an angle, giving her slightly different tactics than other air dash characters. When used to cancel air normals, the upward momentum from the air dash can help keep Valentine in the air longer for the next chain combo. Valentine has an 8f IAD and holding the dash will cross over a standing opponent even when starting the dash from the lowest possible height. Valentine's backward ground dash takes her off the ground and does not have any IAD lockout, making a backward ground dash followed by a forward air dash (←←, PP) a slightly faster, lower height, alternate IAD.
• Vial Hazard loads a syringe with one of 3 poisons, replacing Valentine's standard Dead Cross and Acquisitive Prescription with the superior Flew Shot and Countervenom. On hit these attacks infect the opponent for their set duration or until Valentine gets hit, thrown, or must tech a throw. The the poison duration counts down as long as the defending character stays on screen, pausing the timer if they leave the screen and depleting at half speed if the character appears as an Ensemble. Valentine can only have one loaded syringe at time, replacing her last syringe if she preforms Vial Hazard before using an already loaded poison. A defending character can only have one of the three poison effects active at a given time. The timer does not reset or extend if Valentine hits with the same poison before the original timer expires. A different poison effect will end the existing infection, restarting the timer for the new poison.

* Type A (↓↙← + LP): The purple poison deals damage equal to 10% of the defending characters total life over the poison's 480f duration in even 1f increments. The percentage based damage can cause more rapid life loss for a solo character against Valentine's team. The poison deals no damage if the defending character has 10% life or less remaining.

* Type B (↓↙← + MP): The green poison increases hit and block stuns for the defending character, adding 30f to either stun for a 480f duration.

* Type C (↓↙← + HP): The orange poison causes a 6f input lag effect for the defending character over the 360f duration. When infecting an Ensemble character, the poison's input lag adds 6f of vulnerable start up to the Ensemble.

• Valentine has many Blockbusters, but doesn't generate Dramatic Tension very quickly due to scaling after her multi-hit normals. Both Checkmate Incision and EKG Flatliner combo relatively easily, encouraging her to use meter after nearly any clean hit. Free use of Acquisitive Prescription and Countervenom counter attacks can force an opponent to play cautious but risks wasting 2 levels of Dramatic Tension. Her devastating level 3 Dead on Arrival (↓↙← + PP) or even her potentially game ruining level 5 are best used when Valentine is last in line for her team, giving her teammates time to build tension.

Ensemble Choices

• Dead Cross (↓↘→+P): All versions of this attack, including the Default Ensemble Choice MP version, do not travel full screen. Other Ensembles outclass the shuriken. Valentine can get one use of the more powerful Flew Shot as an Ensemble if she tags out with poison loaded.
• Vial Hazard (↓↙←+P): When using this Ensemble, Valentine loads up a poison and leaves the screen. She will save the syringe for when she's on point and will refill if she's called as an Ensemble again. She can't load and throw the syringe in the same Ensemble, either with the Default Ensemble Choice MP version or as a custom Ensemble.
• Anesthesia (LP+LK): Valentine's normal stands out as a the most useful normal throw assist in the game. The starts a combo for a point character just as easily as it would for Valentine.
• Mortuary Drop (↓↙←+LP+LK): As a custom Ensemble this command reaches far, deals its damage in a single unscaled hit, then bounces the opponent back to the point character for a combo.

Chishibuki Juuji Cross cut! Valentine preforms a single hit kick followed by a 4 hit spinning cross attack that only requires a single button press.

IV Naginata Chains Thrice Valentine swings an IV pole like an axe, ending a ground chain with 3 damaging hits. Canceling the third hit into Vial Hazard lets Valentine load a poison wile the opponent slides away. All of the attacks are unsafe on block, but with so many other multi-hit moves Valentine has little reason to chain into HK without a hit confirm.

(air) Forequarter Amputation This bonesaw attack stays active at a downward angle for a relatively long time, allowing Valentine to to pressure opponents as she IADs on top of them. Damage scaling after multiple hits means this may not be the best move to start a combo.

(air) Tobi Juuji This knee drop's multiple hits and low hit stun make it more useful in resets and throw set ups than for an air chain. It works as an effective cross up against a standing opponent.

(air) Cadaver Clone Body bash! A 2 hit zombie attack out of Valentine's body bag. The slow second hit does not work well with IADs. Valentine must hold the air dash to give her the vertical height and time she needs to successfully preform both hits.

Normal Throws

The lengthy crumple stun from this throw easily starts a combo for Valentine and makes it extremely clear that normal throws start combos with forced damage scaling.

Special Moves

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ Dead Cross Default Ensemble Choice (MP) Valentine throws a fixed range, single hit shuriken. LP, MP, and HP versions all travel between half and full screen before hitting the ground. The air versions travel at a wider angles with increasing button strength. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 300 (2.5%) 6.1% 17 - 31 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 8 28 15 6 -7 (air) Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 300 (2.5%) 6.1% 17 - 24 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 8 28 15 13 0

+ Vial Hazard Lets up the dose. As a stand-alone special move, Valentine hits once as she discards the vial and twice as she taps the needle. Valentine must complete the full animation to load the poison. She will not keep the syringe if she cancels into Blockbuster too early or gets interrupted by the opponent. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 150 x2 (2.5%) 2.5% x3 27 1, (16), 2, (7), 2 20 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 7 x3 18 x3 21 x3 -3 0

After Vial Hazard: + Flew Shot The superior syringe projectile deals more damage than a shuriken, travels the full length of the screen in a straight line, and causes a poison effect on hit. Ground versions are all identical, but the different strengths of the air version have similar angles to Dead Cross. Missing Flew Shot wastes the poison.

+ Savage Bypass Valentine dashes forward, attacking with a single bonesaw cut as she appears behind the opponent. With the defending player's back to the corner, Valentine will not switch sides on a successful hit and leave herself in better position to start a combo. On block, Valentine never crosses through the opponent. The hit stop effect from this attack affects only the opponent, effectively adding to hit and block stun. Although she appears to disappear or teleport during the attack Valentine has no invulnerably; she can get hit out any frame of this move. Active frames end as soon as Valentine touches the opponent. On hit, Valentine's recovery varies slightly based on when she crosses sides with the opponent. It is always as long or longer than the recovery on whiff. Oh whiff, Valentine will end the move as soon as she switches sides with the opponent. The air version of Savage Bypass always leaves Valentine in recovery until she reaches the ground. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 975 (2.5%) 10.1% 17 2 34 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 15 (10 on block) 18 21 -4 Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 110 (2.5%) 10.1% 21 4 39 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 15 (10 on block) 18 21 -7 -2f recovery on block.

+ + Mortuary Drop 50% Damage Scaling Going down... Valentine lunges forward with a body bag for a slow starting command throw. A s.HP canceled into Mortuary Drop will position the opponent with the perfect range and enough stun to effectively set up this throw. Valentine can cancel the recovery animation to a Blockbuster while she's in the air.

Team Moves

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ OR + Cloak and Sever Tag In Is the patient prepped? Valentine enters the screen behind a curtain as she tags in, attacking as she appears near the opponent. She can get hit from behind the curtain on the way in. Although identical to her standard s.HP's animation, the tag in attack has different damage, hit properties, and will not cancel into any other move. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 500 10.1% N/A 3 34 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 12 10 13 -23

Blockbusters

Command Name / Quote Properties (glossary)

+ + Checkmate Incision Uses 1 level of Dramatic Tension Bandage this! Valentine throws a volley of 8 scalpels. Her pose after the ground version forces her to use an OTG to continue a combo. The air version recovers much faster and can cancel to an air dash, offering a better opportunity to combo after the lengthy hit stun effect. Closing distance with an air Savage Bypass, canceling to an air Checkmate Incision on block, air dash canceling, then landing on the opponent with an air normal gives Valentine a powerful countermeasure against a keep away strategy. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 450 x8 -100% 5 + 0, 2 - 66 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 30 (10 on block) x8 16 19 -27 or worse Invulnerability starting after 2f of start up, ending after 3f of recovery.

+ + EKG Flatliner Uses 1 level of Dramatic Tension Major surgery! Valentine dashes forward across the screen for the first hit of the Blockbuster, transitioning into the rest of the move only if she hits the enemy point character. After the first hit EKG Flatliner ignores Enbsembles, Egrets, severed heads, Lennys, and anything else that may get in the way. The extended hit stop effect on the last hit gives Valentine a way to Blockbuster Sequel into some of the slower starting Blockbusters of her teammates. Like Savage Bypass, the hit stop from this attack only affects the opponent. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 275 x12, 1930 -100% 4 + 1 13 58 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 30 x12, 0 (10 on block) 30 x13 21 -26 Invulnerability through all start up, ending after 7f of active frames. -5f recovery on block.

+ + Acquisitive Prescription Uses 2 levels of Dramatic Tension Did you miss me? A counter attack that freezes the opponent, allowing Valentine to start a combo. Acquisitive Prescription deals no damage on its own and doesn't count as a hit for damage scaling. Valentine's counters start in 0f and only causes a super flash if successful. The attack will always consume Dramatic Tension, either at the super flash or at the end of the active frames for the counter. Both Acquisitive Prescription and the poison enhanced Countervenom cannot be used as a Blockbuster Sequel. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery N/A -200% 4 26 35 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 114 N/A N/A N/A N/A

After Vial Hazard: + + Countervenom Uses 2 levels of Dramatic Tension Don't make me laugh. After loading up a Vial Hazard, Valentine's counter stabs the opponent with a syringe. This deals direct damage, applies the poison effect, and sends the opponent flying backwards into the corner for a combo. Missing this version of the counter does not waste the poison but still consumes Dramatic Tension. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 2000 -200% 4 26 35 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 8 30 N/A N/A

+ + Dead On Arrival Uses 3 levels of Dramatic Tension Tell me where it hurts... An attack that resembles a throw on hit Mortuary Drop, which transitions to cinematic sequence as Valentine and the defending character appear from the top of the screen. Blockbuster Sequels are not possible during the cinematic portion of this attack. Valentine can take mercy on the opponent and shorten the animation by holding any punch button as the screen fades out. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 0 x2, 1000, 4000 -300% 4 + 15 2 64 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 8 N/A 23 -42 Invulnerability through all start up, ending after 2f of active frames.

+ + OR + Forbidden Procedure: Rebirth Ex Machina Uses 5 levels of Dramatic Tension Clear! Valentine presses her AED paddles to the floor, reviving the corpse of a fallen teammate and hitting opponents with the surrounding electricity. It must make contact with the fallen teammate's body to revive successfully. It can hit an opponent for massive damage and a friendly corpse, save the teammate while letting the opponent punish Valentine, or miss both and completely waste a full 5 levels of Dramatic Tension. With a successful revival the teammate recovers 33% health and quickly leaves the screen. Damage Meter Gain Start Up Active Recovery 0, 4000 -500% 8 + 22 2, 2 49 Hit Stop Hit Stun Block Stun On Hit On Block 0, 10 27 30 -20 Invulnerability starting after 4f of start up, ending after active frames. 8f of opponent only hit stop added to stuns.
