GAMEPLAY
Crimson Viper is one of the most agile female characters in the game similar with Chun-li since they both came from the same franchise. Her suit often leads her to deploy an array of nature-based attacks like lightning and fire. She is also the only character with a focus attack that gives her an advantage among other characters in the roster. Her special moves are also one of the easiest to link making her good at long and damaging combos. She does however considered as a hyper meter beast since her EX moves uses one level of hyper meter. Her hyper combos are some of the easiest to use during combos since her Burst Time hyper can be good after an end of an air combo finisher and her Emergency Combination can be useful on ground combos.


SPECIAL MOVES AND COMMAND NORMALS

• Viper Elbow - Viper performs a leaping elbow drop to her opponent and can be easily cancelled to her Burning Kick special move
• Focus Attack - Viper focuses her strength to land an attack to her opponent. This move is pretty invincible when charge and can deflect attacks
• Burning Kick - Viper uses her battle suit to draw out flames from her heels making her kick to form like a X fire during execution
• Thunder Knuckle - Viper's anti-projectile attack where she charges her gauntlet with electricity and charges to her opponent. This move is good at basic ground combos
• Seismic Hammer - Viper's OTG special move and is also jump-cancellable. She also uses her gauntlet to punch the ground and create sharp earth spikes to launch opponents in the air. This move is one of her most useful attacks during long combos
• EX Burning Kick - A stronger version of Burning Kick and uses one level of hyper meter. She hits her opponent three times with a kick before the actual flames hit her foe
• EX Thunder Knuckle - A stronger version of Thunder Knuckle and also uses one level of hyper meter. She dashes more forward to electrocute her opponent and leaves them in a crumple state to also Viper to combo afterwards
• EX Seismic Hammer - A stronger version of Seismic Hammer and her last EX move to use one level of hyper meter. She summons even more earth spikes to her opponent and is great at countering hyper moves and attacks
• Optic Laser - Viper's only new move in the game. She charges up her glasses to unleash an optic beam to her opponent

HYPER COMBOS

BURST TIME (Level 1 Hyper Combo) - Viper unleashes a super charged Seismic Hammer from her gauntlet to launch her opponent into the air. She then performs four consecutive flaming backflips to finish the move. This move is great after an air combo finisher since this move hits OTG and has some invincibility frames.

EMERGENCY COMBINATION (Level 1 Hyper Combo) - Viper pounds and charges her fist together to performs two consecutive electrocuting punches to her opponent and then follows up with two flaming backflips before the move ends. This move has also some invincibility frames making it great at countering attacks. 

VIPER FULL THROTTLE (Level 3 Hyper Combo) - Viper's most damaging hyper move dealing 430,000 of unscaled damage. She charges up her gauntlet  and quickly dashes forward to her opponent. If she connects, she grabs them in the neck to electrocute them and launches them in the air. She then once again grab them in the neck before she crashes her opponent to the ground in a electrifying piledriver-like fashion.

PERSPECTIVE TOWARDS THE CHARACTER

OH VIPER you're abilities are truly astounding due to being nature-related but still doesn't match that of Storm and Thor. HAHAHAHAHA just joking! She really does kick some butt when someone uses her in battle and I'm still shock to the fact that she is Damage Dealer type of a character. I mean I know she's good at rushdown strategies but never did it poppped into my head that she's a damage dealer also. HAHAHA (Total Face Spunk! ahahhahah). She's still difficult to use and can accidentally drain one hyper combo gauge is not careful because of her EX moves. Even if I said above that her abilities does not match that of Storm, I always team her up with Viper. WELL, after Viper landing a combo then hyper cancel it with either one of her Level 1 hyper moves, I can easily DHC to Storm with Hail Storm to totally finish their opponent. Also, I can also DHC Elemental Rage to Viper Full Throttle for even more deadlier finish! Well guys, do you use Viper often? Do you love or hate her? Just let me know! :)
