Lars Alexandersson – Frame Data

Lars combines solid basic tools with fast-moving stance offense. His transitions create layered mixups, while strong block punishment lets defensive success lead directly into offense.

Weak to: Step Right

Overview

Mobile stance mixups and strong punishment; limited on sidestep

Heat System

Lars' heat system amplifies his stance game: he gains Rebellion (F3+4) for +5 into SEN, enhanced SS2 and DEN 3+4 with a lightning follow-up, plus buffed LEN 1 (attack throw) and LEN 2 (instant tornado). Using stances regenerates heat, and his heat smash transitions into a stance or can be canceled with B for plus frames.

Strengths

Mixups: Simple, effective stance mixups that catch opponents off guard.Combos: Farthest carrying combos in the game, dealing good damage and offering versatile routes.Strong mids: Useful mids like FF1+2, B1, DF2, B4,1+2, SS2, DB+2,1, and DEN 3.Punishment: one of the best punishment in the game, with tools at every major punish frame.

Weaknesses & Counterplay

Sidestep: Bad sidestep makes it hard to move around.Lows: not so much low risk lows, most of them are launchable.

Game Plan

Rely on stance mix-ups (SEN, DEN, LEN) and safe pokes like DB4, FF4,2, DB1,3, 1,4, DF2, and B1 to keep the opponent guessing.Punish hard at every key frame: 2,1 at 10f, f+2,4/f+2,1 for mids, f,N,b+2,1 at 14f for launches, and F1+2 at 15f.Use your combo game to carry opponents to the wall for big damage opportunities.Avoid over-stepping: your sidestep is weak and your kit is linear, so use stances to create angles and mitigate movement weaknesses.

Stances

Dynamic Entry (DEN) — enter: Input F3, or use F+1,2,3 or FF+4,2 for an auto transition; hold D after DF3 or DB1+2 to enter. — A forward-moving stance for pressure; press F to flow into SEN.Silent Entry (SEN) — enter: From DEN press F, or automatically from f+2,1, f+1,2, df+2, and DEN 3; also after WS2 or b3. Hold B to cancel. — Core mix-up stance from key punishers; cancel with B to stay safe.Limited Entry (LEN) — enter: Automatically after 2,1, hold D in SEN, or hold D after 1,4, DEN 4, WS3, and 3. — Secondary mix-up stance from strings and SEN; gains enhanced attacks in heat (attack throw, instant tornado).
