Vanessa's Top 10 moves (+ 3 bonus moves)(top)

Below is a written commentary on Vanessa's best moves, by @MakiLeSushi

Top-10 DS Moves(top)

while standing
Her best DS move. A 13 frames mid, stagger on CH, beats practically every move (12 frames or slower) when you are at +1. CD fuzziable on guard since it's -5 and you get a float if the move connects on a staggered opponent. You have 2 alternate reliable inputs for this move: and
Negative points: short range also backdashable, evadable on both sides.


The heavy impact can be very useful when it used as a meaty and when the opponent has their back against a wall. +3 on guard, +7 on NH and +19 on CH. Creates distance between you and your opponent. Gives a wall stagger on NH and a wall splat on a staggered opponent. Crumple on side turned staggered opponent and +25 on side turned CH, -1DP.
Negative point: evadable on both sides with big disadvantage because it's a linear move and very slow move (21 frames)


The stance and high strings killer. A very efficient move. Special low, causes all highs to whiff, -1 on guard, +2 on side guard, +2 on NH, foot crumple on CH, wall stagger on RCH. Good range, closes the distance.
Negative points: slow, linear move, evadable on both sides.


A broken move. Mid, sabakis most lows (except sweeps and LDK), causes all highs to whiff, safe move (-8 on guard) +2 on NH and when the sabaki succeed.
Negative points: short range, evadable on both sides and backdashable.


An ok move. High, fast (14f), float on CH for 56-80 dmg. Safe on guard (-2 on guard) +6 on hit, wall splat on CH.
Negative points: short range, evadable on both sides, whiffs against crouching, and backdashable.


An ok move. Mid 16f chargeable, long range, safe on guard (-6), 0 on NH, +8 on opponent crouching on NH and +8 on CH. Side crumple on CH, backdash killer, wall stagger, low wall splat on staggered opponent.
Negative point: evadable on both sides.


A very efficient move. Good range, 16f, is a mid half circular, delayed the can track if opponent evades the , on CH u can get a hit throw by inputing . Safe on guard (-8) and good damage if the hit-throw succeeds. Wall stagger for both moves and low wall splat on a staggered opponent, -1DP for the and 1 more DP if the hit throw succeeds.
Negative point: the is evadable on both sides


The head crumple combo launcher. A 17f high half circular gives head crumple even on NH for combos between 69 and 79dmg. Safe on guard (-6). A good move against evaders, at least -1DP.
Negative points: backdashable, evadable on back side only and can whiff against crouching opponents.


Her best okizeme. Very long range, mid full circular, safe on guard (-9), creates distance with the opponent, knock down on NH and CH (a safe-on-guard mid full circular must be in a top 10). Wall splat on CH, low wall splat on NH.
Negative point: slow move (22frames)


The poke killer. Sabaki all high and mid punches and elbows, +4 on guard, +6 on NH and +9 on CH. Good range, the is half circular, -1DP.
Negative points: evadable on back side only, can whiff against crouching opponents.

BONUS MOVES


The fastest move in the game!!! A 10 frames high, +1 on guard, +4 on NH, +6 on CH. Anti poke and anti frame traps.
Negative points: short range, can whiff against crouching opponents, backdashable and evadable on both sides.

Hold/
A weird but efficient move. Mid, with unique avoiding properties (watch the thread on Vanessa dojo) Stomach crumple on RCH and CH with combos between 53 & 65.
Negative points: evadable on opposite side, punishable (-13), slow move (22frames) & backdashable.


An ok move. Mid + high, 16f, get a head crumple on CH for the . Good against evaders. Safe on guard (-3), +2 on NH. The is half circular, -1dp.
Negative points: The can whiff against crouching opponents, evadable on front side and backdashable.

PS: You will notice that i didn't put Vanessa's Defensive style in this list. The reason is simple, yes this move is efficient, it is safe on guard, special high, a natural 2 hit combo on RCH and CH, punisher at 16f , and put your opponent on ST. But, when you start to play in DS, you will end up revolving your game around this move. But in order to become a good DS vanessa's player, you must learn how to use her without this move. Good players will duck, your second will whiff and you will be punished. Sure it deserves to be in top 10 but you won't become a good player if your strategy revolves around this move.

Top-10 OS Moves (top)

Maybe her best OS move. Almost broken. Big range, special high, beats all lows, plus on guard (+2), float on NH and CH, wall splat on CH, combos between 67 and 81 dmg on NH, backdash killer, at least -1DP.
Negative points: evadable on both sides & can whiff against crouching opponents.


My favourite OS move. Half circular, Special High, crumple on CH, 16f, safe on block (-6) with pushback, can be canceled with , combo between 80 and 99dmg, at least -1DP. NOTE: the move can be performed without the need to hold forward by doing .
Negative points: can whiff against crouching opponents, evadable on back side.


Her most useful punisher. High, fast move 14f, safe on guard (-6), good range, combo launcher even on NH, good after a stagger or a wall stagger (for the wall stagger with a 14f move the opponent can't unstagger so it s almost guaranteed), combo between 50 and 70, atleast -1DP.
Negative points: Backdashable, evadable on both sides & can whiff against crouching opponents.

/ /
Maybe the best catch throw of the game. Useful for ring outs, Nitaku situations for the opponent, big dmg, stance killer, -1DP with the option while you are in takedown position.
Negative point: bad choices can lead to real damage.

ALL INTRUDER STEP MOVES
Good Nitaku situation. All are safe on guard. IS is CD fuzziable (-5 on guard), gives stagger, makes lows whiff. IS is -6 on guard, stomach crumples even on NH. IS goes into takedown position.
Negative point: vulnerable to mids during the intruder step.


Her most powerful move. Useful after the opponent tech rolls or while their back is to the wall, Special high, full circular, +4 on guard, +9 on NH, +12 on CH, big damage, big range, unreversalable, unsabakiable, puts your opponent side turned on NH and CH, -2DP.
Negative points: very slow (37 frames) & can whiff against crouching opponents.


A good move to provoke a whiff and crumple. Safe on block (-8), can be charged to give you a stagger, stomach crumple even on NH, big range, cancelable in 3 ways.
Negative points: evadable on both sides, backdashable because it is such a slow move (47 frames).


Powerful move. Safe on block (-7) -1 on guard opponent side turned, big range, side crumple on NH (!), big wall splat. Negative point:
evadable on both sides with disadvantage.

/ /
Her best strings. I hesitate to put those moves but they are good when you are a good mind gamer. Those moves are useful against players who don't crouch to provoke a whiff. They are plus on guard (+5) can be mixed up with if the opponent tends to guard the last of the original move. You can mix up with for crouched opponents or even transition into IS.
The is a natural 4 hit combo if the opponent was crouching on the first move, also a good string to punish at +16 opponent standing or crouching.
is a good high punisher at +15 and a natural 3 hit combo on RCH and CH. Particularly useful after unsafe moves with pushback. Also the best way to punish Taka.
is combos if connect on CH. -2DP if u finish with the .
Negative point: Vulnerable to after the first of the string & bad choices can lead to real damage.


Her best launcher. A knee must be in top 10. Efficient against 2P'ers. Safe on guard if opponent is side turned (-9), the most damaging launcher out of all OS, wall splat, mid, can beat lows. Combo between 70 and 113dmg.
Negative points: Backdashable, punishable (-15), evadable on both sides.

Videos showcasing Vanessa's key moves(top)

That Blastad Salami's Vanessa Lewis Overview is good place to start.

miyavi_ngos has created a video going over Vanessa’s Main Techniques of interest. It is Japanese though, and the English subs require a certain amount of interpretation.

oneida created an in depth video covering Defensive Style, never got around creating one for Offensive Style though.
