Combo Starters
- Rising Stock
- Stock Bop
The primary way for Erron Black to start his combos is to use Locked and Loaded () after any attack and follow it up with Rising Stock (
). This will launch the opponent up for a combo and can also trigger a Krushing Blow if Erron Black is out of rifle ammo. With the Enhanced Locked and Loaded ability equipped, Erron Black can use Stock Bop (
+
) after Locked and Loaded for a more damaging combo starter.
Combo Enders
,
,
,
,
- Rattle Snake Slide
All of Erron Black’s combos can be ended with ,
,
,
,
for a hard knockdown or Rattle Snake Slide (
) for maximum damage and to switch positions with the opponent. If Amplified, Erron Black will throw out an acid puddle after the Rattle Snake Slide for a setup, which will deal damage over time.
Pokes
One of Erron Black’s greatest strengths is his ability to harass opponents with his pokes. Erron Black’s +
is one of the fastest pokes in the game, having a start-up of 6 frames. His
+
and
+
are amazing pokes as well because they allow Erron Black to low profile underneath his opponent’s attacks while also creating a decent amount of pushback on block. Constant use of pokes can make it extremely difficult for opponents to attack.
On The Shoot
Erron Black’s On The Shoot (,
,
,
,
) string is best used at close range. The 1st two hits of this string can be staggered for pressure.
leaves Erron Black at -4 on block, and
,
leaves him at -3 on block.
In order for Erron Black to use the rest of this string, it must be dialed in by quickly entering in each input of ,
,
,
,
. Erron Black’s
,
,
,
,
is a multi-hitting string that can be easily hit confirmed into a combo. It also triggers a Krushing Blow on Kounter or Punish. This string is best used when mixed with throws as it can be difficult for opponents to block
,
,
,
,
and defend against being thrown. The final two hits of this string are overheads that can be used for mix-ups with Rattle Snake Slide (
). This string is very safe as it will leave Erron Black at -7 and create great pushback on block.
Note: Since ,
,
,
,
must be dialed in, Erron Black must commit to using this string. If the string happens to whiffs or hits an airborne opponent, Erron Black will be vulnerable to being punished.
At The Dooooor
Another strong attack for Erron Black to use up-close is his At The Dooooor (+
,
,
) string. In order for Erron Black to use this string, it must be dialed in by quickly entering in each input of
+
,
,
.
+
,
,
is a multi-hitting mid attack and is one of Erron Black’s fastest attacks, having a start-up of 11 frames. Similar to
,
,
,
,
, the final two hits of this string are overheads that can be used for mix-ups with Rattle Snake Slide. Because this string is -15 on block, it’s advised to equip the Scud Shot (
) or Acid Pour (
) abilities and use them afterwards to stay safe.
Note: Since +
,
,
must be dialed in, Erron Black must commit to using this string. If the string happens to whiffs or hits an airborne opponent, Erron Black will be vulnerable to being punished.
Keep’em Honest
At mid range, Erron Black is able to use his Keep’em Honest (+
,
) string.
+
,
is 13 frame mid attack with decent range. On hit, Erron Black can combo into Rattle Snake Slide. Be careful when using this string as the 2nd hit can be Flawless Blocked. To stay safe, use
+
instead which will leave Erron Black at -4 on block.
Boot Drop
Erron Black’s Boot Drop (+
) is one of his main attacks to use at longer distances.
+
is an advancing overhead attack with amazing range.
+
also triggers a Krushing Blow if it hits twice in a row. This can be used as a mix-up with Rattle Snake Slide (
), as well as Erron Black’s low pokes. Dashing forward and using pokes such as
+
and
+
is a great way to approach opponents because they will be anticipating
+
.
Although it is -8 on block, +
is safe due to Erron Black lowering his hurtbox and the amount of pushback it creates.
+
can also be Amplified on block or miss. If Amplified, Erron Black will send out a low shot after
+
which can hit opponents trying to attack. The low shot however is -11 on block and can be punished by fast advancing attacks.
Zaterrean Spit
Erron Black’s Zaterrean Spit () allows him to throw acid on the floor, causing damage over time to opponents standing on top. Zaterrean Spit is best used to close out the round when the opponent is low on health. A good way to use Zaterrean Spit is to stand on top of it after throwing it out. Opponents will not be able to attack Erron Black without making contact with the acid. Zaterrean Spit can be used after blockstrings as well. If the opponent is low on health and Erron Black used a string such as
+
,
,
, using Zaterrean Spit afterwards will immediately deal damage to the opponent and deplete the remainder of their health.
Rattle Snake Slide Mix-ups
Rattle Snake Slide () is an advancing low attack that can be used for mix-ups along with Erron Black’s many overheads. Rattle Snake Slide can be used as a mix-up with Erron Black’s
,
,
,
,
and
+
,
,
. In order to use Rattle Snake Slide during these strings,
must be inputted after the string has been dialed in. After each hit connects with the opponent is when
can be inputted.
The strongest mix-up is to use Rattle Snake Slide immediately after the 1st hit of +
,
,
. This is because the opponent will have little time to defend against the mix-up, and the opponent will only have 2 frames to fuzzy guard. If Rattle Snake Slide is used with
,
,
,
,
or after the 2nd hit of
+
,
,
, then it is less effective as opponents will be able to fuzzy guard the mix-up. While these mix-ups are unsafe and can be fuzzy guarded, they can still be applied occasionally against ill-prepared opponents.
Note: Although quite difficult, it is possible for opponents to react to Rattle Snake Slide. Therefore, Rattle Snake Slide is ill-advised against opponents with strong defense.
Locked and Loaded Stance
Erron Black’s Locked and Loaded () puts him into a stance that can lead into a variety of attacks:
Cancel Locked and Loaded – Stance
Allows Erron Black to exit out of the stance. This is mainly done to safely go on the defensive after firing at the opponent.
Straight Rifle Shot – 
Allows Erron Black to shoot high projectiles at the opponent. Each shot uses up 1 out of 8 bullets. Erron Black can unload shots by inputting repeatedly.
Low Rifle Shot –
+
Allows Erron Black to shoot a low projectile at the opponent. Each shot uses up 1 out of 8 bullets. When zoning with Erron Black, it’s best to mix up Straight Rifle Shot and Low Rifle Shot. If an opponent attempts to jump over a Low Rifle Shot, they will be vulnerable to being hit out of the air by a Straight Rifle Shot. If an opponent ducks to avoid a Straight Rifle Shot, they must block a Low Rifle Shot and take the chip damage.
Rising Stock – 
Used as a combo starter. It triggers a Krushing Blow if Erron Black is out of rifle ammo. A good strategy is to use up all of Erron Black’s ammo while zoning, then when the time comes, use the Rising Stock Krushing Blow for increased damage.
Stock Drop – 
Overhead attack that can be used up-close for mix-ups. Stock Drop can be used as a mix-up with Low Rifle Shot. If Stock Drop hits, it can combo into Straight Rifle Shot.
Reload Single Bullet – 
Allows Erron Black to reload 1 bullet.

Enhanced Locked and Loaded
The Enhanced Locked and Loaded ability gives Erron Black additional attacks in his Locked and Loaded stance:
Drop Shot –
+
Allows Erron Black to shoot low projectiles at the opponent while lowering his hurtbox. Drop Shot can be delayed by holding . During the Drop Shot, Erron Black will be able to avoid many attacks. If Amplified, Erron Black will fire multiple shots at the opponent. This can be a useful way to close out the round while the opponent is low on health.
Stock Bop –
+
Overhead attack that can be used up-close for mix-ups. Stock Bop is a bit slower than Stock Drop, but will launch the opponent up for a combo. Stop Bop is also used as a combo starter after Erron Black’s ,
,
,
,
.
Reload Multiple Bullets – 
Allows Erron Black to reload multiple bullets.
End Locked and Loaded – Hold 
Allows Erron Black to exit out of the stance immediately after any attack.
Cattle Toss
The Cattle Toss () ability is a command grab that is used for mix-ups at close-range. It’s best to use Cattle Toss in situations where the opponent is more likely to block, such as when Erron Black is at an advantage. Cattle Toss can also be done after certain attacks. These attacks include:
+
+
+
+
.
Cattle Toss is great when used after +
as it can be used as a mix-up with
+
,
. If the opponent is attempts to block or Flawless Block the 2nd hit of
+
,
, the Cattle Toss will grab them out of blocking. Cattle Toss is much stronger when combined with the Scud Shot ability because it can be mixed with Cattle Toss while keeping Erron Black completely safe. The Enhanced Rattle Snake Slide ability is also useful because if the opponent is hit by the 2nd hit of
+
,
, Erron Black can safely use Rattle Snake Slide afterwards. If
+
,
is blocked, Erron Black will have enough time to cancel out of the Rattle Snake Slide to stay safe.
Scud Shot
Scud Shot () is a parry that will absorb any projectile thrown at Erron Black. This can be delayed by holding
. If Amplified, Erron Black will shoot a mid projectile at the opponent, allowing Erron Black to counterzone and shoot back at his opponent. Scud Shot can also be used up-close for pressure. Scud Shot is mainly used after strings such as
+
,
,
and Amplifying it to stay safe. Since opponents will be conditioned to block the Amplified Scud Shot, Erron Black can mix this up by not Amplifying the Scud Shot and instead follow up with another
+
,
,
to continue Erron Black’s offense. It should be noted that if Scud Shot is not Amplified, Erron Black will be punishable by any immediate attack.

TNT Toss
The TNT Toss () ability allows Erron Black to throw a stick of dynamite at the opponent. This dynamite is an unblockable that can be directed close, mid or far and will explode after a short delay. Due to its slow start-up, it’s best to use TNT Toss from a distance or at the end of combos for setups. TNT Toss can also be delayed by holding
or cancelled by inputting
. If Amplified, Erron Black will shoot at the opponent just before throwing the dynamite, useful for stopping opponents from attacking Erron Black while using this move. Once the dynamite has been thrown, Erron Black can then use Locked and Loaded into Straight Rifle Shot to hit opponents trying to avoid the explosion. It’s important to note that Erron Black is able to damage himself with his own TNT Toss so make sure to avoid making contact with the dynamite once it’s thrown.
In the corner, Erron Black can create setups using TNT Toss. This is done by ending combos into Close TNT Toss and Amplifying it. Once the dynamite is set, Erron Black can then use an attack such as +
,
,
. The dynamite underneath the opponent will explode, launching the opponent up for a combo. The setup can be looped by ending combos with
+
,
+
into Amplified TNT Toss. This setup is very strong because the opponent must use a Getup Attack, Delayed Getup or Roll Escape to avoid being hit by the unblockable, all of which can be baited and punished. If the opponent does not have meter, they will have very little options to escape.
Netherbeast Trap
The Netherbeast Trap () ability allows Erron Black to place a trap on the ground. If the opponent is caught in the trap, they will be stunned long enough for Erron Black to combo. If Amplified, Erron Black will kick the Netherbeast Trap towards the opponent. Once the Netherbeast Trap has been placed, Erron Black can then use Rattle Snake Slide which can knock the opponent into the trap. If the trap is placed behind the opponent, Erron Black can use overhead attacks such as
+
, which can be difficult to defend against as the opponent must block low while the Netherbeast Trap is set. While the opponent is stuck in the trap, Erron Black has enough time to throw out a Zaterrean Spit (
). This can then be followed up with Acid Pour which will trigger a Krushing Blow as the opponent will be standing in the Zaterrean Spit puddle.
Enhanced Rattle Snake Slide
The Enhanced Rattle Snake Slide ability allows Erron Black cancel out of his Rattle Snake Slide by inputting +AMP at the cost of 1 bar of Defensive Meter. This allows Erron Black to pressure opponents up-close. Rattle Snake Slide Cancel is best used during
,
,
,
,
and
+
,
,
. While opponents are focusing on defending against his overhead and low mix-ups, Erron Black can cancel out of the Rattle Snake Slide to continue his offense. After cancelling, Erron Black can then attack again with
,
,
,
,
or
+
,
,
. Using Cattle Toss (
) after a cancel can also be effective as opponents will be blocking in anticipation to the Rattle Snake Slide.
