Not that I've seen anywhere, the names are all we have to go by for now, unfortunately. That said, according to wikipedia, Strepsiptera are an order of parasitic insects that live inside of other insects, so I've got a hunch it might possibly be Bug-vorah? I wasn't expecting that to be a 1-slot, but the name certainly fits the ability.

I'm thinking it may be an ability that leaves a bug in the opponent. Eeeww.

Between that and whatever the other Parasite ability is, it could easily be a variation focused heavily on just gettin dudes pregnant. Which I am so totally for.

We've got some abilities and frame data from the spoiler thread.



Turns out Strepsiptera is the bug that spawns another bug and parasite is extra normals, which is always good. I haven't gone through the frame data myself yet because it goes pretty fast.

Damn she's pretty much got nothing for KBs, huh? Hopefully her tools all make up for it, but KBs are just so fun that it's kind of a bummer to see her so light on them. Kinda dying to see what Parasite's extra strings are, I didn't think anything could pull me away from the Widow's Kiss variation but her other one might actually be shaping up pretty nicely.

Having actually looked over the frame data, I think she may have been nerfed since the Kombat Kast. It has f2 as 17 frames and it looked more like 10 before. She has a noticeable lack of plus frames and mids, but a totally safe low and a mostly safe overhead to make up for it. Strings into puddle might be the world's best gimmick again though, so we'll see.

A little concerned that she might be a character that needs to get a hit to actually start doing most of the stuff that makes her shine. When I think of D'vorah, I think of pressure and setups. Going purely by the frames I am presented, not hitboxes or anything else, I don't feel like I'm looking at a pressure character, and I don't have my hands on her yet, so I can't be sure how effective her setups are. I'm assuming oppressive as hell, but I tend toward pessimism and I don't have the full picture right now.

Also, the normals added with Parasite aren't in the frame data, so that could give her better strings, or even explain why F2 was so fast in the Kombat Kast and isn't now.
