Goals

Important Moves

5LP - Fastest jab in the game with a great hitbox. Can also be used to challenge IAD approaches.
2LK- One of the farthest reaching lows in the game with very little blockstun, making it hard to pushblock.
5HP - Far reaching poke that leads to a full combo and standard heavy counter hit starter.
jLK - Main air to ground and air to air poke. Reaches pretty far in front of and below Fortune.
jMK - A strong air-to-air that is great for catching defensive airborne opponents (Valentine/Painwheel). The momentum of this move makes it great for covering a large distance in a single jump.
Reversals
- Fiber Uppercut (623K) - Main DP that can also be used for mobility
- Cat Scratch Fever (236PP) - Metered reversal that's full invulnerable on startup
- Feral Edge (j214KK) - Air reversal

Head-On: You want to go in and score a hit as fast as possible. Strong pressure and speed is your game.

Headless: Your foremost priority is to get the head off safely and into a good position, to get your strong setplay started. This is usually done either mid-combo or after a hard knockdown. This strategy requires you to land a hit as Head-On in the first place. However some players prefer to get the head off in neutral, since they prefer playing Headless' neutral game. In neutral you will usually want the head close to the action and preferably behind the opponent. You are still perfectly capable of rushing down, however going headless costs you the incinvibilty on Fiber which results in lots of Headless players, playing a bit more defensive and poking the opponent with the head. When poking with the head you will look for confirms with Nom or Sneeze to get a combo started.

Offense

Head-On: c.LK is a godlike low, it's fast and has good range. The catch is: you can only hitconfirm it from max range with either s.MK or s.HP.; s.MK is pbgc-punishable on block. s.HP can be made safe with L rekka but requires a much trickier followup that also uses OTG. Your starter after c.LK, s.HP will be Rekka x2 Slide, c.LK, s.HK(2), L Fiber, AD j.HP, M Gato to get a proper restand. In general the s.HP confirm is considered being superior due to being safe and being pushblock bait at the same time. It is also way easier with an assist.; Fortune has pretty much the best jab in the game. Run up and check opponents with it, it's fast and has good reach. You can go straight into c.LK or AD overhead/throw after you see them block it.; Since Fortune is an airdasher she can make use of all of her airbuttons as quick overheads.; j.LP is your fastest overhead. It's also a great button for crossups.; j.LK is your second fastest overhead and has an amazing hitbox. A strong multi purpose button, it can cross, it has easy hitconfirms, great range used for burstbaits ect. Leads to a powerful triple overhead blockstring that is: jump in j.LK, ADC j.LK, j.MP. Each button will combo on hit.

Headless: Pressure and mixups are similar since you keep most of your offensive tools, you just get to add more stuff to the mix:; You get to use standing El Gato and Slide outside of Rekka which gives you another layer of high/low in your standing blockstrings. Slide is safe as long as it hits the head, otherwise punishable.; When your opponent is sandwiched between you and your head, you can go for pretty safe and scary pressure if you attack in tandem with your head. Especially in the corner.; If you stand on top of the head your attacks will make it bounce which adds extra blockstun.; Adding sneeze to the mix is a great option to check opponents who try to get out of your pressure.; Keep in mind that s.HP and Rekka aren't aviable to you, so long range confirms cannot be done without the head.

Neutral

Head-On: Your movement is amazing, use it to outmaneuver your opponent. Or just run up and hit them.; Jab comes in handy in most close up situations. c.LK is your go to low poke. s.HP is a decent long range poke.; j.MP and j.MK are your go to air to air buttons.; H Fiber covers a huge distance and is hard to challenge additionally you can use it as a movement option, since it launches you pretty far upwards to get above your opponent.

Headless: Again similar to Head-on but you have to babysit your Head this time. Your opponent is able to hit the head and keep it on lockout while doing damage to you, so try to avoid situations where your opponent is save to start bullying it.; In general the head gives you a strong edge in neutral though, since it poses another thread the opponent has to deal with. Most of the Head's moves cover a large distance which gives you strong space control.; Use Zoom and Nom for grounded opponents. Zoom is faster and goes further while Nom is more active and a hitgrab. Nom is also great aganist landing opponents, it will most likely catch them in landing recovery after an airnormal or they simply forget to block after landing. This happens a lot. Canceling Zoom into Nom leads to an easy hitconfirm.; Sneeze is great for directly swatting opponents out of the air. It's also invincible, if you find the gap you can use it to escape head bullying with it. Or simply stuff out a move.; To close distance with the head you can launch or fiber it. If you use fiber you can ADC into j.HK to make it go even further. If you launch your Head it turns into a projectile until it touches the ground again. Using Slide on your head is also a good way to move some grounded distance with it.

Defense

Head-On: Fiber is the DP of your dreams. It does everything right besides being unsafe. It's multihit to stuff armor, huge to cover most air approaches, jumpcancel able on whiff and combos on hit. H Fiber is your go to reversal and anti air, however L and M are sometimes used due to being harder to punish and covering a different distance to throw your opponent off.; Your kit is very barren when it comes to anti air normals however. Jab is pretty big so it can be used to stuff out iAD attempts. c.MP makes your hurtbox quite small but has a strange hitbox. c.MK and c.HP are also options but none of them are great.; Each of your supers is a reversal. CSF is a straightforward grounded reversal super. Feral Edge makes fortune one of the few characters with an air reversal. Watch out though, some characters have specific setups aganist it. Level 3 works both on the ground and in the air. Your overall best reversal super. It's hitbox is massive and it's very active.

Headless: Fiber becomes only grab invulnerable, basicially useless as an reversal. That also makes it a way worse tool to anti air with.; Your supers stay the same though.; Sneeze is invulnerable and unlike the other head moves it stays active after fortune was being hit.; Nom can be great for escaping pressure since it stays active while you are being in blockstun.

Meter management

Fortune builds a lot of meter both with her combos and in neutral thanks to Fiber Upper and Cat Scratch, this combined with her low meter usage makes her a great battery. She has good damage and utility meterless, but some good uses for meter are Cat Scratch Fever as a reversal or to set up a sliding knockdown for oki, Feral Edge for an airborne reversal, easy transition combos or and an easy side-switch for when the head is behind you while headless. Finally, the 5th of Dismember is a great reversal with a massive hitbox that will win most interactions due to being a hitgrab and because it covers most of the screen. 5th of Dismember can be used for high damage solo combos in the corner and is an easy way to transition from headless to head-on.
