Charlie moves and strategies: Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Last updated on July 30, 2009
Charlie and Guile are extremely similar in this game. Just a few moves are different between them.
Special Moves
A (2) next to an arrow means to hold the joystick in that direction for 2 seconds to 'charge' the move.
With moves that charge by holding back or down, you can use the diagonal positions to charge up as well. For example, if you're holding back, you can jump backwards or block low and still maintain your charge.
• Sonic Boom •
Strength of the button used determines the speed, with Hard Punch being the fastest.
• Somersault Shell (Flash Kick) •
This generates an energy wave in its wake which can also hit airborne opponents, just like Guile's Flash Kick in this game.
(In the air)
• Moonsault Slash •
Charlie performs something of a reverse Flash Kick, instead of traveling up, he aims down. If this connects it will knock the other fighter down briefly.
Hyper (Super) Moves
(Mash Punches)
• Sonic Break •
Throws a ton of Sonic Booms at once. Pretty good range on this, hard to avoid unless you do a Super Jump.
• Crossfire Blitz •
This makes you dash straight across the screen. If you run into an enemy you'll do a series of melee moves. You can land this from about 3/4ths screen range, but if you do it from full-screen's distance you'll miss.
• Somersault Justice •
A beefed up version of Charlie's regular Somersault Shell.
Command Normals
• Backfist •
• Sabot Kick (Jump Kick) •
• Step Kick •

Awesome, my favorite low tier character!

Charlie's Somersault kick can be ducked under by non-big characters. The super however still hits low.

can anyone please explain to me why Guile is quite a bit higher up on the tier list than Charlie? I thought they were pretty much the same...

i would probably give a good portion of the guile > charlie argument to guile's air flashkick on sj while still retaining the ability to input afterwards

@randomguy.. that and the fact that Guile has better DHCs.. and easier combos into HCs

Somersault Shell advances him more forwards than the Flash kick, so they aren't "exactly" the same. I imagine Guile is higher on the tier list because Guile's moveset gears him towards being a more defensive character, probably because his moves leave him open less. Whereas Charlie is more offensive, especially in his unique regular attacks.
Personally, I choose them both in MvC2, their slight differences compliment each other quite well.
