Don't use this move, most opponents will just know how to avoid it. The second hit of the move will hit as an OTG after the bird pecks the ground if the opponent got hit. After that, Athena will follow it up with an overhead spiked mace. QCB+P - Athena will summon a bird and it will peck the ground, causing a low earthquake.While you can Max Cancel from the lion into this move, you cannot Max Cancel this move at any point, so be careful about using it. Good to use on the opponent's wakeup, as an anti-air or even as an invincible reversal, but just like any of her other moves, it's easy to GCFS, and leaves her wide open for a punish on block. There's no difference between the two versions. She will become a mermaid, and will slap the opponent 9 times if it wasn't blocked. QCF+K - Athena's 'Animal Summon' move with the best startup.This too though, can be read and if the Wave is blocked, either way Athena is getting punished. If Athena is in Max Mode, she can also Max Cancel the recovery into her Wave Attack as a mixup, that leaves her invincible during the transition, thus punishing players for getting cocky. It can be used to force chip damage to close out a round though, force a guard break, or even force a time out.

When she recovers though, if the opponent is able to dash in, it's pretty much a free punish due to the awful recovery of it. This move is very bad due to the slow startup (Where she jumps on the lion), and the opponent can GCFS it with ease, but Athena is totally invincible after she jumps. The mouth of the lion can hit your opponent too, and you can MAX cancel this move if this happens (No, you can't combo). Athena can be hit while she is getting up in the lion. In the LP version, the lion throws 2 fireballs, and in the HP version, it throws 3 fireballs or more.

QCF+P - Athena summons a Lion and it throws some fast fireballs that can negate normal projectiles.

Some of her Special Moves are really easy to block, and this makes them almost useless sometimes. You can use it to go under certain projectiles too. The damage is very high, it knocks down(It's better than that cr.HK mentioned above, and this is the better option mentioned in there), and it's great as a finisher for her short combos.

df+HK - This, ladies and gentlemen, is Athena's slide (Slides are cool).

It can crossup too, and it's very easy to combo after it. This move has auto-guard frames, so you can use it to counter most anti-air attempts.

Great jump-in attack and air-to-air move.

Either Athena blows the other player up, or the other player blows Athena up.

Specials are a death sentence on block due to GCFS and awful recovery.

Cannot do Max Mode combos, only basic cancels for mixups.

Meter is almost useless as well outside of Blowback/GCFS.

Some normals are identical (in other words pointless).

Hard to master Very one note character.

Only needs meter for Blowback and maybe GCFS.

Her Exceed is almost impossible to jump over.

Can link some Lights with Heavies, and Heavies with Heavies.

Her arrows are great for pressuring tall crouching characters.

Almost all of her normals can be cancelled.

Some of the most damaging normals in the game.

Small hitbox (She is a little taller than Zero but smaller than most characters).

Just defeat her or Red Arremer in the 36th fight.

If you're using a console (XBOX and PS2 only), you can unlock her in the Survival Mode along with RA. You want to play with Athena, but cannot select her? If you're with the Arcade version, you can only select her by cheating, or with the bootleg hacked roms.How to select Athena (Outside of Super Plus) She may appear impossible, but it takes little work to figure out how to deal with her. She is, without a doubt, the weakest boss in the game, but she is pretty strong compared to some of the non-boss characters, and against the low tiers, gives them a lot of trouble. Are you here because you thought that this was the Athena from KOF? Those two could be the same person, but this Athena is based on the first Athena game, an arcade platformer released in 1987.
