After DR (Block)

-2

Notes Can hold button 17f for improved properties; slow but solid anti-air; cannot hit cross-up; only first 2 active frames hit grounded opponents; active frames 3-5 only hit airborne opponents; puts opponent into limited juggle state on hit (higher launch vs. airborne, and much higher on Punish Counter)

After DR (Block)

+2

Notes 1f extra recovery on whiff/block; solid low poke with good range and hitbox priority; strong Drive Rush starter that links into 4HP or 5MP~MP at close range, 2MP at mid range, or 6MP from farther out; topmost hurtboxes on frames 9-16 are projectile invincible (avoids Sagat's MP/HP Tiger Shot but becomes vulnerable on frame 17~)

Notes Gives a risky 2nd overhead after 3HP; true blockstring, so opponent can safely mash a standing normal after blocking 3HP without being frame trapped or hit by the overhead; can be juggled into (KD +31); can whiff at longer ranges of 3HP (much more unsafe)

Notes Strong forward movement and can link into light normals after Counter-hit, Punish Counter, or Drive Rush; has 2 hitconfirmable Target Combo follow-ups; useful link option out of DR~2MK due to its range

Notes Low follow-up; true blockstring from 6MP, so an opponent mashing a crouching button after blocked 6MP will not be frame trapped; useful confirm if 6MP hits crouching opponent

Notes Hitconfirmable ender after 6HK; delaying the input can create a frame trap up to 3f on block (no gap if starting from 6[HK]); puts opponent into limited juggle state; extremely powerful when juggled into (does not increase juggle count at all from DR~6HK)

Notes Quick air-to-air

Notes Puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; lower body projectile invuln 7-21f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Can hold button 20f for improved properties; causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents; lower body projectile invuln 9-23f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Cross-up; useful for safe jumps; can be used as a fuzzy instant overhead

Notes Farthest reaching horizontal jump-in with good hitbox priority; lower body projectile invuln 8-25f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Can hold button 20f for improved properties; lower body projectile invuln 10-21f except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Can hit Cross-up; can hold button 20f for improved properties; causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents; lower body projectile invuln 9f until land except around attack hitbox (cannot be used to avoid the 2nd hit of JP's OD Amnesia bombs)

Notes Armor loses to low attacks; cannot hit cross-up; can hold the button 35f to charge a more powerful version (armor is lost immediately upon button release); after releasing partial charge, startup is 10f (frames 12-19), 9f (frames 20-27), or 8f (frames 28-34); holding the button for 33-34f results in an uncharged 236HP with even slower startup than the fully charged version

Hit Confirm

Notes Armor loses to low attacks; transitions to a cinematic follow-up on hit; vs. airborne opponents, 2nd follow-up hit whiffs (no Hard Knockdown and reduced Super Meter gain); cannot hit cross-up

Notes Cannot hit cross-up; ~65% screen length; Wall Splat on hit; KD Advantage increases when farther from the wall; significant pushback on block makes it hard to punish when spaced out

Notes Cannot hit cross-up; hits 1f later vs. crouching opponents; leaves Marisa close enough to frame trap with 5LP~LP on block or use 5MP~MP without causing an air reset; can set up trade combos with 4f reversals using 5MP vs. stand block or 4HP vs. crouch block

Notes Cannot hit cross-up; hits 1f later vs. crouching opponents

Notes Cannot hit cross-up; hits 1f later vs. crouching opponents; leaves Marisa close enough to frame trap with 5LP~LP on block or use 5MP~MP without causing an air reset; can set up trade combos with 4f reversals using 5MP vs. stand block or 4HP vs. crouch block

Notes Sends opponent tumbling backward into OTG state; if opponent hits the corner, a low-height Wall Splat occurs (opponent is grounded and throwable, but strikes put them into juggle state); cannot hit cross-up; hits 1f later vs. crouching opponents; can set up trade combos with 4f reversals using 4HP vs. stand block or 6MP vs. crouch block

Notes Side switch; after throwing opponent into corner, can Drive Rush for strong strike/throw mixup; DR~5[HP] trades with reversal 4f normals for a high-damage trade combo; meaty options are much weaker after normal dash (no throw, limited conversions on hit); a successful Throw Escape builds 0.5 Drive bars for the defender; Throw Escape is awarded to a random player if input simultaneously

Notes Stance with 1-hit armor can be extended an extra 90f by holding the button, followed by 26 unarmored recovery frames; no armor on lower half of body; cancelable into follow-ups after 8f; stance cannot be canceled into from other attacks; absorbing an attack automatically triggers counterattack follow-up; Marisa takes a fixed 6f hitstop when absorbing attacks (causing the counterattack to often land as a Counter-hit rather than a Punish Counter against medium/heavy attacks)

Notes Risky low ender; may catch opponent by surprise since the overhead ender is safe on block; Marisa is in a Punish Counter state for entire duration; range includes 0.218 forward movement from 214K startup

Notes Marisa is in a Punish Counter state for entire duration; Range: 1.109 (final active frame: 1.164); range includes 0.218 forward movement from 214K startup

Notes 1st active frame only hits airborne opponents (functionally 8+16f startup vs. grounded); causes spike knockdown vs. airborne opponents; Marisa is in a Punish Counter state for entire duration; hitconfirm window is 1f shorter vs. grounded opponents; cannot be canceled into Tonitrus 2 on whiff; range includes 0.218 forward movement from 214K startup

Notes Releasing the button on frames 5-13 results in uncharged version with 10f startup; puts airborne opponents into limited juggle state; Punish Counter causes free juggle state

Notes Can hold button 27f for more damage and a cinematic counter that activates against strikes and throws

Notes Can hold button 27f for more damage and a cinematic counter that activates against strikes and throws

Notes Useful anti-air, reversal, and juggle ender; can be steered by holding forward/back; this affects the range, allowing you to hold back for close anti-airs or hold forward in ranged juggles or fireball punishes; upward hit triggers a cinematic; on block/whiff, ends with a downward slam that does 500 less damage than the cinematic version (still does full Drive Damage on hit); Marisa's collision box extends far downward, preventing opponent from walking or dashing underneath (opponent can still jump to avoid 2nd hit)

Notes Takes opponent to corner; cinematic time regenerates ~2.1 Drive bars for Marisa; excellent whiff punish and projectile counter tool (especially with Modern controls)
