Electoral Carnage Lincoln

Lincoln is the tall, hat-throwing roster fighter. Older August community text remains useful for move names and inputs, but the later developer rework changes the airborne-hat and Penny timing descriptions. The guide below applies that dated correction rather than combining both rules.

Move inputs and effects

On a narrow screen, scroll sideways to see every column.

Inputs name actions, not physical keys. Forward is toward the opponent; “+” means a combined input. Translate the actions with your control bindings and move notation.

Penny can be used during other attacks and their recovery in the transcribed moveset. Its charge recharges automatically. The old 4.5-second value predates the shorter-cooldown rework and is not presented as the later build’s cooldown.

Monumental Occasion turns Lincoln into a memorial that crushes an opponent beneath it. Learn where Penny will finish before combining a teleport approach with the super; an aimed coin and a homing coin follow different targeting rules.

A useful input check is to send an aimed Penny to a chosen direction and deliberately cancel one teleport with a second Unique press. This is a practice suggestion derived from the documented actions, not a guaranteed combo. Sources disagree about retained momentum during the memorial, so no precise momentum route is claimed here.

The 27 August announcement specifically says the hat can no longer be charged or released from a jump, Penny flies faster on a drastically shorter cooldown, and movement speed increased slightly. Later new-super discussions do not establish every proposed super as selectable. See the dated update timeline before treating a preview as a release.
