Overview
Overview
Born nearly 2000 years ago as a sickly boy always on death's bed, Cagliostro invented alchemy to transcend her mortality and gender, becoming one of the strongest and the cutest of those who dwell in the sky realm. She sports a wide array of tools for mid to long range and setplay in order to mess with her opponent anywhere from the screen and make the most of every advantageous situation. With both a high skill-ceiling and a higher than average skill-floor, this character takes dedication, but gives incredible reward when mastered. She can be held back by aspects such as lack of meterless reversal, heavy variance in effective strategies depending on matchup, and needing to find very precise situations to maximize her effectiveness. Despite this, Cagliostro rewards players for working around her weaknesses with varied setplay and situationally good damage.

Cagliostro is a defensive yet tricky setplay character who utilizes a variety of highly-specialized options to keep her opponents on their toes.
Pros
Cons
- Good normals: Self-explanatory

GuardMidStartup12Recovery17-148Advantage-6, Mehen, and Calculated
GuardMidStartup20Recovery27Advantage-5 allow Cagliostro to harass the enemy from a distance.
- Reliance on resources: Cagliostro has no meterless reversal and can struggle to find advantage without spending resources. She has very little corner carry, damage, or meaningful okizeme normally.
- Polarizing matchups: Cagliostro can struggle in match-ups where she must approach, or her tools are countered easily.
- Very precise setups: Cagliostro's combo and setplay game are technical and nuanced, with small differences leading to missing out on important damage and okizeme.

Similar to 5M, with less range but less startup, less recovery and a lower to the ground hitbox. Not a low, but stuffs rolls.
Suffers as a punish tool due to being slower than the average 2M and having travel time on its hitbox as well, taking 10f to hit at max range. This is especially apparent against spaced low 66Ms.

Fastest air attack. Can be used for F-shikiSometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters. setups as it hits the standing guard of some tall enough characters on the way up.

Cagliostro's 5U can be canceled into from any normal except dash attacks and 2U.
j.U can also be canceled into from air normals.
Cagliostro poses, charging up a rock for as long as the player holds U, to a maximum of 163 frames. The rock levels up once with the initial press, and then approximately once every 25 frames while U is held. Releasing will store the rock, which can later be thrown.
5U can absorb one projectile hit while it is deployed, and the rock comes out fast enough to absorb fireballs in neutral on reaction. The rock also has an attack hitbox when it initially spawns. Cagliostro can also use this attack as a safe blockstring ender, as it pushes her back too far to be punished.
5U can be canceled into 6U to immediately throw the rock. This creates a natural frametrap, though with low reward, and can catch enemies trying to take their turn after Cagliostro's minus frames. The pushback from 5U also generally puts Cagliostro far enough away that level 1 6U will be safe and level 2+ will be plus.
The air version stalls her air momentum almost completely while it is deployed.Version

Cagliostro fires the rock she charged with 5U. If no rock was charged prior, Cagliostro will simply use level 1 rock.
At low levels it mostly acts as a low-risk low-reward cancel option off pokes, but as it gains levels it becomes more rewarding, gains more hits and higher advantage. At level 3+ it becomes plus enough on hit to link into c.M in the corner, enabling new grounded combo extensions.
The fired projectile gains P1 durability level equal to the level of charge, so for example a level 4 projectile will cancel out 4 hits of an incomming P1 projectiles. This move will still lose to any P2 projectiles regardless of level.
At level 5, the projectile moves more slowly than the other versions, so if Cag gets enough space to charge and throw a LV5 rock she can move in behind it.Version

Cagliostro's character defining tool, with neutral, setplay and pressure uses as long as you understand its limitations. Performing this special will cause Cagliostro to place a trap in the following locations:
- 236L: Directly at Cagliostro's feet
- 236M: A character length and a half in front of Cagliostro
- j.236L: Midair, approximately half screen away from Cagliostro
- j.236M: Midair, about 70% of full screen distance from Cagliostro
The H version of these places both traps at the same time with the startup of the L version. They also are primed faster, and are only techable once the opponent touches the ground. Unfortunately, H traps will not start their cooldown until both of them have been destroyed or expired.
Ground traps are counted independently from air traps. A grounded L or M trap will remove any other grounded traps, but aerial traps will remain, and vice versa. Using 236U will remove ALL other traps.
When used in neutral, traps force the opponent to hit them with a low hitting normal or move around them. You want to exploit that opening with your normals or specials. They are sometimes ineffective against advancing specials, however.
As a setplay tool:
- Ground traps beneath the opponent will trigger after their wakeup with a short delay. They will not protect you from reversals, but still give you plus frames.
- Ground traps behind the opponent will trigger as soon as your pressure pushes your opponent into the trap, or give you a conversion from throw, 66M, c.XX6M or c.XX6H.
- Air traps above the opponent give Cagliostro a conversion from throw or 66M. This massively increases the reward of throws and 66M. However they are easily cleared with air block.

Cagliostro poses, causing a spear to erupt from the ground. A zoning and combo tool that synergizes well with traps. All versions are slow and don't track fast-moving opponents well, but will launch the opponent on hit and lead to high damage or free pressure when knocking opponents into traps. All versions are air unblockable, sometimes allowing for Cagliostro to interrupt attempts to air block traps. When Cagliostro has rock charged it will cover her to block one fireball during this animation.

Cagliostro leaps forward, Alexandria surrounding her. All versions of this move are unsafe on block to the point of being punishable, but may be safe if spaced properly. Invincible to low attacks while Cagliostro is mid-leap.

GuardHow this attack can be guarded. Guarding either negates the damage from an attack entirely or reduces it to minor chip damage.
StartupThe amount of time before an attack is active including the first active frame. For example, an attack with 10F startup means the attack will do nothing for 9 frames, then hit the opponent on the 10th frame.
ActiveThe amount of time during which an attack can hit the opponent. Numbers in parentheses refer to gaps during which there are no active hitboxes in the middle of an attack.
RecoveryThe amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking.
On-BlockA measure of frame advantage when the opponent blocks an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first. This value assumes the opponent blocks the first active frame of the attack.
On-HitA measure of frame advantage when the opponent is hit by an attack. Positive values indicate that the attacker can act first. Negative values indicate that the defender can act first. This value assumes the opponent was hit with the first active frame of the attack on the ground at midscreen (i.e. corner-only wall bounces are not taken into account).
InvulnThe timing and duration during which a character cannot be hit. A common component of reversal moves.

Cagliostro creates a fake body and teleports somewhere. All versions of this move have some invuln while Cagliostro isn't on the screen, but none of them start at frame one. You can perform this move instantly in the air by performing it as 282X, 272X, or 292x, depending on if you want to do it out of a neutral, backward, or forward jump. Neither the M or H versions of this move will allow you to cross up the opponent if they are in the corner.
- 22L
- Cagliostro teleports backwards around backdash length.
Mainly used as a fakeout tool to bait the opponent into pressing something after using 22M.
- 22M
- Cagliostro teleports a set distance forward.
This move can cross up depending on how close or far away the opponent is.
- 22H
- Cagliostro performs a hit before teleporting forward, directly behind the opponent.
The hit has extremely short range, but is plus on block and launches straight up on hit. Can also be used as a reversal-safe meaty.
IASInstant Air SpecialConceptually includes Tiger KneePerforming a special as soon as possible after becoming airborne. Usually, but not always, involves an input trick.
For Example: 2369S for a j.236S input. j.22H is especially powerful for throw baiting, as enemies attempting to guess tech Cagliostro's throw will eat a full combo. However the move whiffs on most crouching opponents which limits the move's use in this regard against aware opponents.

Places a significantly larger version of Mehen in front of Cagliostro that lasts for a marginally shorter duration. Hits twice, the first hit locking the opponent inside and the second hit popping them back out. The air version places it much further forward than the ground version, limiting its usage for anti-air baits. Unlike regular Mehen, it can't be destroyed by enemy attacks, but it will still disappear if Cagliostro gets hit.
As a combo ender it gives by far the most frame advantage of any of Cagliostro's options, with a hard knockdown plus an advantage of over +100 depending on height. Unfortunately, it removes all other traps on activation and puts 236X on a brief cooldown, so she can't easily take advantage of it for trap setplay. It does however give her enough time to fully charge 5U.Version

- Requires 50% meter, refunds 25% on hit and 12.5% on block.
Fast version of Calculated that causes a cinematic hit. During this hit, Cagliostro is unable to be damaged, making the move ideal for winning fireball wars. Tracks anywhere on screen, even beyond the max range of 623H. As it's air unblockable, it can be used to punish enemy jumps from full screen, though its slow startup means it's not suitable as a defensive antiair.
This is Cagliostro's easiest way to end any combo with a hard knockdown, and gives her a j.L safejump afterwards.Level

Multi-hitting move that does 200 damage per hit with an additional 1000 damage applied to whichever hit connects first. Quick, high-damage version of Alexandria that results in a hard knockdown. Has the highest corner carry of all of Cagliostro's moves, and can wallbounce for combo extensions just like 214H. On a midscreen hit, it will send the enemy nearly fullscreen away, but is plus enough that she can still get a safejump with j.22M.
When the opponent is pushed into the corner Cagliostro will recover within throw range, becoming punishable on block.Level

Summons the throne and then teleports backwards into her cute taunt pose. Cag's only true reversal outside of her supers. It has a small hitbox for a reversal vertically.

Summons the throne midair, falls to the ground, and then teleports forward, usually behind the enemy. Doesn't have a hitbox until it reaches the ground.
Can be used as a combo ender to get a hard knockdown plus sideswitch, to get plus frames on an opponent's wakeup, or as an airstall. On counterhit, it will launch the enemy for a combo. Due to the properties of this move making it unlikely to counter-hit, easy to anti-air, and slowdown making it simple to spotdodge on wake-up, the move is high-risk and low reward.Version

Cagliostro creates a landslide of gold on the floor in front of her that moves near full-screen, and encases the opponent in gold if the move connects at close range.
The move is comprised of five total hits, with only the first, short-range hitbox leading to the cinematic. This means that the move will deal incrementally less damage as it travels, but the final hit still does good damage on its own. Not getting the cinematic means losing out on at least 40% of the move's potential damage due to not draining Bravery Points from the opponent. This makes it ill-suited for long range use, as a max range hit deals identical damage to 623U.
- Recovers 1 Bravery Point for Cagliostro during superflash.
- Removes 2 Bravery Points from the opponent on close hit only. The listed damage assumes a 20% increase due to Bravery Penalty.
