Style Guide for Full Movelist Notation

Most of these are simple copy-and-paste jobs, but pay attention to cases where different notation might be necessary:

Try to recall any moves in a character's kit that exists outside the standard universal movelist.
- See Maypul's Tether as a prime example for this.
Note the different number of Jabs in jab sequence
Remember to add the name of the special move:
- Neutral Special - Poison Darts
Use (Hold OK) wherever applicable
- All Strongs should be marked (Hold OK) when listed out in a character page, unless RoA2 ever has a character without a chargeable Strong attack.
Use "While in Air [input]" wherever applicable. Avoid (Air OK) tag in 99% of cases.
- All aerials are, of course, labelled "While in Air".
- Specials were considered for the "(Air OK)" tag, however since Specials are universally "Air OK", it was judged redundant.
- The rare edge case for an "(Air OK)" tag would be a universal move that wouldn't normally operate the same/similarly on both ground and air. The only examples we could come up with were Elliana's Strongs, from a character who is currently not in Rivals 2
- Wrastor's Strongs would NOT be tagged "(Air OK)". His Strongs are exclusive to the air, so they should be notated using "While in Air":
  - While in Air Default Controls

Splitting up moves into parts
- If a move involves another (possibly different) input for a possible follow-up move, you should consider multiple lines of splitting that move into multiple moves, and notate each accordingly.
  - See Forsburn's Forward/Up Strong and Ranno's Up Special for prime examples of both.
- If the same move behaves differently under different states/circumstances, you should consider splitting that move into multiple moves, and notate according to the differences in state.
  - See Kragg's Neutral Special as a prime example for this.

If at any point you are unsure how to notate a particular move, use the Discussion page or consult the Dragdown Discord server.

While her opponent has the Watcher's Mark, Maypul can pull herself to their location with her tether. She can control which side of the opponent she appears on with either Default Controls
Xbox/GCN: Left Analog Stick
KB: / / / or Default Controls
Xbox/GCN: Left Analog Stick
KB: / / / , appearing on the left or right side of her opponent respectively. If a direction apart from these two is held or no direction is held, Maypul will appear above the opponent. After Maypul tethers to the opponent, she is fully actionable.

With tether, Maypul's recovery becomes a mixup. It allows for her to survive positions where she could not recover. It is very exploitable, however, since the opponent can anticipate this with a strong move of their own, netting a KO. It is important for Maypul to mix up which direction she tethers to in order to avoid being free fodder.

Tether is not just for returning to stage, however -- it also allows Maypul to net important kill confirms offstage, far into the blastzone. For follow-up hits, Maypul usually tethers to the side of the opponent and never above, though there are exceptions.

If the opponent is sent toward the side blastzones, she can side tether and Neutral Air as a kill confirm. Alternatively, she can use Forward Air to set up an edgeguard sequence if Neutral Air does not kill yet.
If the opponent is sent toward the top blastzone, she can net an early kill with tether Up Air, though this is not a true confirm on DI up, as they are hardcoded to fall out of the multihit. However, even on DI up, Maypul can still salvage a kill with other options if the opponent picks poor follow-up defensive options. Maypul can also use Neutral Air to kill on DI up at high enough percents, or Forward Air alternatively to continue the combo.

In addition, Maypul can do tether mid-combo and onstage for kills. Sky's the limit for what is possible here, so get to labbing.

Maypul can also tether to Terry. Terry does not last for an incredibly long time, so try to be mindful of timing him right. To minimise risk, you should only use Terry as a last resort recovery for an off-stage kill that Maypul would otherwise die from.

If multiple tethers are available on the stage, Maypul will prioritise tethering to Terry, followed by marked opponent(s) in order of whoever is closest to Maypul.

Overall, mastering tether is what allows Maypul to net incredible KOs and deepening her punish game.

At the apex of the initial rising strike, Ranno can spin into a poisonous vortex, suspended in mid-air while throwing poison darts at down-forwards and up-backwards angles. This is a cheeky way to tack on damage and poison stacks on unsuspecting foes, but it leaves Ranno very vulnerable if the opponent avoids the vortex or needles, and it also renders Ranno in the vulnerable fall state afterwards.

Xbox:
GCN:
KB: or SpecialDefault Controls
Xbox:
GCN:
KB: . While Kragg holds a rock, he cannot jump in midair or use any other moves until he throws it.

This is Kragg's most versatile tool. The rock acts as a wall while on the ground and has a hitbox with decent knockback while airborne. If it's hit by ANY attack, it will break and launch rock pellets in the hitbox's general knockback direction. The pellets deal small damage and hitstun to anybody it hits.

Kragg can use the boulder in a plethora of ways to control the field and pressure the opponent, both on-stage and off-stage. However, be wary of when to pull the rock, as the opponent can take advantage of the startup to knock Kragg offstage while holding it, limiting options to get back.

Anytime in the air, or else once Kragg's Rock has already been Pulled, Neutral Special results in a unique grabbing animation. During it, Kragg picks up either his own Rock, or another Kragg's Rock, if nearby.

This move is also a command grab. This grab puts an opponent in a Rock-like state, allowing Kragg to carry them offstage, and/or throw them in a direction, just as he would with a Rock.
