Quinn

Quinn

Quinn is an acrobatic character who can leap to the sides of the screen and divebomb his opponents. He starts with a one time use full meter, and uses it to transform into his werewolf form. In werewolf form he gains super speed and an improved moveset across the board, and the transformation itself can also be used to cancel an attack's recovery.

Notation

Strategy

Quinn is a highly mobile character who wants to get in and use his safe 3A to get strike throw mixups to loop the situation

Quinn's heavy normals have great range, but move him forward a great deal, leaving him open if he misses. They also provide little reward on hit besides a setup and can be canceled into his safe 3A on block. Unlike most other characters, you don't want to try and space them out as missing is very bad and getting any type of connect yields similar reward.

Anti-Airs:

1B is an amazing anti-air that covers all around Quinn. It is fairly active and has an amazing hitbox. Great for covering jumps near Quinn.

5B is much less suited for up close jumps and more for farther jumps. Quinn moves quite the distance before the hitbox comes out and it is slow, but the hitbox is good and it provides amazing reward on hit: 3-5 damage.

Quinn's dashes are a key part of his neutral, allowing him to access most parts of the screen with ease. Forward dash mid-screen is not super threatening, but it can be hard to anti-air on reaction and goes around 2/3 screen. It is a very strong tool for getting in, but it easy to deal with if anticipated and isn't super hard to block on reaction. Back dash is great for retreating with a life-lead to the corner, where Quinn's dashes really shine.

When dashing into the corner Quinn goes into his wall cling mode:

Pressing down in wall cling makes Quinn fall off the wall a short distance away from it. Used for pressuring opponents in the corner and getting down from the wall safely.

Pressing A or B while on the wall makes Quinn use that attack and go a medium distance from it: around 2/5 screen. This is good for hitting opponents a bit less than half screen away. it can also be used to cross-up opponents close to the wall with a j.B

Pressing away from the wall will cause Quinn to fly about 3/4 of a screen away. This is amazing at threatening opponents at almost any range and allows Quinn's space control in wall cling to be unmatched. If Quinn presses up and A or B he will go the same distance but use the air normal backwards in reference to an old bug that had a similar result

Quinn has little overhead and low presence during pressure, but he still has deadly mix-ups with his strike-throw 50/50s. Quinn's 3A leaves him point blank and -2 on block. If his opponent blocks then Quinn can throw. If they don't block then Quinn can use his 1B. Against everyone but Naomi Quinn's 1B will beat their 1B. Quinn gets 5B on a whiffed throw which can catch an opponent trying to jump away and gives Quinn a 5 hit combo

On defense Quinn has few options but they are very good. His DP has an absurd hitbox with good range and no blind-spots, although it is on the slower side. It is also very active.

Quinn's wolf mode isn't crucial to his game-plan, but can be very strong in some circumstances. Wolf cannot block so reversals are vry strong against it. Wolf's increase walk speed makes it easier to bait them, as does the locked screen which makes Wolfs dash act like he's near the corner all the time making the mobility options deadly and unpredictable.

Full-screen and after a knockdown are the best places to go into wolf mode.

Wolf's j.B dive-kick doesn't hit if used immediately, but if slightly delayed is a very threatening overhead option that leads to a full combo on hit. Wolf's B moves inflict chip, so against characters with no reversals or parries he gets free chip and makes their lives terrible.
