BBCF/Weiss Schnee

This page is under construction, please ignore it for the time being

Overview

Weiss is a character that specializes in setups, having a tool for every situation. Whether it's using her long reaching rapier attacks to fight up close, firing ice shards to attack from afar, summoning ice pillars to block projectiles and limit the opponent's ground movements and using her semblance to do attacks that cover a lot of ground quickly or for some more tricky options, Weiss has a tool to fight comfortably in any situation.

At the same time, these tools all have very clear pros and cons. For example, her normals often have long reach but don't hit in a wide arc like Ruby's normals. As a result, a lot of Weiss' tools need to be selectively chosen to deal with a specific problem. To get the most out of Weiss' vast toolset, you'll need to train yourself to properly recognize situations and use the appropriate tool to handle it.

While her buttons can be oppressive, Weiss is highly susceptible to pushblock, having few options to get back in on the opponent without ending her turn or wasting resources. It can be difficult for her to maintain pressure without using committal options that can be stuffed out.

Semblance: Glyphs

Weiss' semblance allows her to set magical glyphs around the stage by using Ice Shard. She can use the glyph by doing it by first doing Glyph Dash Strike or Snowfall, and then pressing (or holding down) 8A, 8B, or 8C once she is physically in contact with one. These glyphs placed on screen give Weiss additional options to follow-up her Glyph Dash Strike special with 3 specials that make use of the glyph, all with vastly different uses depending on the situation at hand.


Pros	Cons
Long-ranged normals Great pressure tools Good defensive tools Proficient corner game Land cancels allow her to extend combos, continue pressure, maintain momentum, and/or stay defensive One of the few characters with a frame 4 reversal option(22C) Can use Ice pillar to wall out specific characters and force an approach(22A/B) Fantastic corner carry	Projectiles track but can miss easily Steep learning curve; requires a good understanding of neutral and proper execution to play Anti-air can be unreliable against specific approaches Aside from glyph follow-ups and j.C (In specific matchups), has no real way of opening opponents guard without using risky options (IAD in, glyph, etc.)

Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Advantage	Attribute	Invulnerability
375	All	6	3	12	-1	Body

Startup is one frame faster than 5B, and can OTG.
Jump cancellable on hit.

Secondary poke tool. Unlike 5A, can hit some crouching opponents such as Makoto 2C and Kanji 2C. Can cancel into 2A on block, allowing for her to chain into her A normals (5A, 5AA) to prolong pressure and force the opponent to make a decision. It being a 7 frame option allows for her to contest stronger round starts (Mitsuru, Ragna) and hit low profiling moves (Yosuke, Linne).

Excellent horizontal poke.
Excellent round starter, being able to hit most characters at round start.
Jump cancellable on hit.

5B is your primary poking tool boasting good reach and fast startup. Unlike 5A, it's hitbox only covers Myrtenaster, meaning it will whiff on many crouchers and low profile attacks.

2B

{{BBTag Move Card|game=BBTag |input=2B |description=

Has a good range and hits low, making it useful for pokes and blockstrings.

Low poke with really good range. Mostly used either during blockstrings or extend combos. Not so much a move to consider while in neutral (especially if the enemy has super meter), as it hits really low and may leave her wide open if jumped over. Unsafe on pushblock. }
