Mix up your game with her and take advantage of her many options for attack and defense. And while she's not particularly strong in any one aspect, her outstanding variety makes Vanessa a difficult opponent to read. She's also got powerful throws ( + P + G works in both stances for great damage) and the ability to grab opponents that are ducking ( or + P + K + G ). On top of all this, Vanessa has some decent combos, all of which come from mid-hitting attacks. From the ground, you can follow with some ground and pound or go for a quick bone snap ( P + G ) for extra damage. In the offensive style, Vanessa has multiple methods of taking the opponent to the ground from far away-the Takedown ( or, P + K ) being the most straight-forward method. Her offensive style similarly has strengths, though clearly more geared to attacking. As well, Vanessa has reversals for high and mid hits that you execute by pressing + P + K or + P + K. By pressing no buttons at all, Vanessa can intercept any incoming high attacks (you can then follow with P, K or P + G for different effects). Her defensive style is inherently more geared to defense-duh-by way of giving Vanessa multiple ways to counter enemy attacks. TACTICS // Vanessa has two main stances with different attacks unique to each (you can toggle between them by pressing P + K + G, even before the round begins).
