Double is a jack of all trades character whose moves borrow animations from other characters in the cast. Many of them have different properties than their original, and their uses are re-contextualized by belonging to a different character with a different kit. She also has some choice assists and a safe DHC that actually puts the momentum in her favor.
- Playstyle: Double's toolkit is very versatile and suited for either rushdown or turtling. Her double jump paired with her varied air normals lets her play a slow paced game and out-maneuver opponents in the air, and jHP poses a threat as long as she's above her opponent. Her Lugers (236P) allow her to control a good amount of space from the ground, and is often able to convert into a combo. She has a great ground game as well: 2HP is both a ground poke and frame trap tool, 5HP is a slower long range poke that causes sliding knockdown, and her forward dash is quick and covers a large distance.
- Mixup: Double doesn't have a grounded or IAD overhead option like much of the cast. Instead, she leverages her long 2LK to keep opponents honest and create opportunities to open them up with her amazing throw range. Coupled with her quick forward dash, she has some of the best low/throw pressure in the game. After she lands a hit or throw, she has an extremely simple and flexible left/right air vortex that allows for air throws and burst baits while also being incredibly easy to loop back into. Last but not least, Flesh Step is a powerful crossup tool when combined with an assist.
- Team Synergy: While Double is a strong character on her own, she is unrivaled in terms of team support. Double has access to 2 different safe DHCs: Catheads (236KK) for immediate overwhelming pressure or Beast of Gehenna (214KK) for laying down a safe but strong trap. She also has a very versatile super with Bandwagon Rushdown (236PP), and very powerful damage output with Nightmare Legion (214PP). She has a DHC super for just about every situation, and no other character can match her versatility or effectiveness in that regard. Combined with her very strong assists in Hornet Bomber (623K) or Cilia Slide (4LKHK), Double can uniquely enable anyone that she is placed on a team with with her plethora of support options.
