Matchup Overview 👊
This is a dazzling duel of showmanship — where cosmic swagger meets cybernetic cabaret. Dandy J, the intergalactic trickster, fights with yo-yo acrobatics, breakdance kicks, and unpredictable aerial antics. Tesse, the high-tech entertainer with rocket heels and laser fans, counters with dazzling spin attacks, rapid kicks, and command grabs that punish recklessness with robotic precision. The key rule: Dandy must never let Tesse control the rhythm — her spinning combos can lock him down faster than a bad karaoke night.

Character Overview 🥋
Dandy J: The Galactic Trickster 🤠
● General Strengths in Matchup: Wild movement, unorthodox normals (yo-yo pokes), strong aerial mix-ups. His Boomerang Yo-Yo and Cosmic Break super create chaotic pressure.
● Matchup Weakness: Slow recovery on whiffed specials. Vulnerable to fast lows and grounded traps.

Tesse: The Neon Diva 💃
● General Strengths in Matchup: Fast spinning kicks, rocket-assisted mobility, and unblockable command grab (Starlight Heel). Excels at mid-range pressure and stylish resets.
● Matchup Weakness: Short range on normals. Struggles against aerial pressure and teleport-style mix-ups if her approach is shut down.

Fun Fact
Tesse’s design blends 90s anime idol aesthetics with cyberpunk flair — think roller derby meets sci-fi revue. Her victory pose often ends with a dramatic hair flip and a wink… while Dandy might just strike a pose and toss his banana peel at her feet.
