Description
The predators are coming. It’s time for some serious training.
Super serious training.
Paprika’s projectile attack has a limited use and a long wind-up, but if you can land it, it hits hard. And even if you don’t get a hit, there’s still an upside to leaving food around – Should your opponent get careless and try to jab you with a light while standing over food, they will instead eat it, and leave themselves completely open to attack for a few moments. More than enough time for you to get them into a tight bear hug. This is especially effective against cornered opponents who will try to sneak in a snappy jab at the first opportunity and break out of their situation.
Of course, thissword shear swings shaves both ways. I’ve lost matches because I forgot I bonked buddies with bobs of broccoli before bashing the ‘a’ button like a boob.
Remember, keep an eye out for food and avoid using light attacks if any are present on the field.

Of course, this

Paprika’s super move is also unique in that it is the only one with two variations and two input methods.
The QCF variant attacks from behind while the QCB variant attacks head on.
From my experience, most players expect her to attack from behind as soon as the super animation starts and hold forward accordingly.
However, I only just realized not too long ago that her super has a tell. If she withdraws facing towards the opponent, she’s going to swoop in from behind. If she’s facing away, that means she’s going in for a full frontal charge. Basically, just hold the directional button that Paprika’s back is facing, and you’ll block it every time.
But don’t tell anyone I told you that. I kind of want to keep that a secret so I still surprise some new players.
The strange part about Paprika’s part 2 is how it’s activated differently from everyone else’s.
Double down is normally reserved for specials, not supers.
True!
But I feel that using it for free projectiles isn’t really the best use. You have to be standing next to it, and I personally never use the projectile attack that much to really warrant it’s use.
The Magic Zippy Teleport move hits really hard if the opponent is standing right next to it, especially if in the corner, where most of the projectiles will most likely connect. It can consistently cause ~1,500+ damage if activated close to a corner. However, it’s effectiveness is affected by the number of projectiles that are already used/laying on the ground. It’s very situational, but I’ve found that a lot of opponents online either disregard the basket entirely or it’s not too hard to set up the opponent to be near the basket.
Paprika can also set up a picnic basket for the 2nd part of her super, provided that she has at least lv 2.
Use magic commands near the basket for free gifts, or use Magic Zippy Teleport (Picnic Surprise) to completely empty it.
Eating the apples heals health. Broccoli gives a boost to your super meter. Potted plants can hit twice.
If you can find an opening (or scarf some broccoli down between matches) eating the food can be very beneficial. It’s the unintentional eating that can really screw you over, and if you’re hit while eating, you’ll lose most (if not all) of the bonus the food provides.
being friends with paprika will do that to you
Are you implying Tianhuo doesn’t smoke meth?
