Helena's bully technology is back from DOA4. By bully we mean force tech. It's not as good as it was in DOA4, guaranteed advantage, but it is more frequent as it can be done from any combo when her handslaps are used as a combo ender.
Now she's target number one for the community and anti-strats will be coming up. Might as well start this discussion up.
Besides her handslap tech she does have other tools players can't seem to punish/defend against.
QCB throw allows for 6pp to be guaranteed, 6ppk when facing wall. Everything else is a mix up.
BT throw has no guarnateed follow ups, all mix ups.
BKO duck loses to downward mids now. A lot of people respect this tool more than they should.
On block she's at a lot of disadvantage, -4 for any hand slap in a combo, +0 with naked handslap. What this means is that a low jab can get Helena out of BKO on block.
Height wise, Helena's best tools are mid punches. So when you're being put in the stun game that's your best guess.
