Summary
Embiggened fists give Kamala the roster's friendliest mid-range.
Kamala Khan pokes from ranges most of the cast can't answer. Her polymorph stretching turns normal punches into half-screen buttons, and official guidance names her one of the three beginner-friendly picks.
Big confirmable pokes are a classic on-ramp: you learn spacing without execution anxiety. Her exact ranges and frame advantage were favorite beta lab topics and get pinned down properly once verified frame data is published.
Move list: Ms. Marvel

|---|---|---|---|
| Elasti-Grab4U/5U | Unique Move | — | Extends an arm, then pulls herself in — her signature approach, cancellable mid-flight. |
| Elasti-Grab (Aerial)j.4U/5U/2U | Unique Move | — | Downward air version; once per jump per direction.Air OK |
| Flex On 'Em2U | Unique Move | — | Dodge that evades everything but throws; late half chains into her moves. |
| Zoom Knuckle236L/M/H | Skill | 25 | Giant-fist ranged poke that clashes with projectiles; aerial version angles down.Air OK |
| Rubber Bind623L/M/H | Skill | 25 | Squeezing command grab for close-range mixups. |
| Karate Chop!214L/M/H | Skill | 25 | Leaping overhead chop — mixup tool. |
| Jersey Lariat22L/M/H | Skill | 25 | Spinning attack; grounded version has anti-air invincibility.Air OK |
| Growing Pains236M+H | Super Skill | 50 | Giant-arm flurry. |
| EMBIGGEN!632146M+H | Ultimate Skill | 100 | Grab into a giant follow-up; also catches airborne opponents in hitstun. |
Inputs use numpad notation for a character facing right: 2 is down, 6 is forward, so 236 is a quarter-circle forward and 623 a “dragon punch” motion; L/M/H are the three attack strengths and U is the Unique button. The game also has simplified one-button skills — the controls guide covers both.
Startup, active, recovery and on-block values need the retail build to measure and land here after August 6, 2026. Invented frame data is worse than none.
How to play Ms. Marvel
Ms. Marvel plays a stretchy mid-range built on reach. Elasti-Grab extends an arm and pulls her in — an approach she can cancel from — and Zoom Knuckle is a giant-fist poke that clashes with projectiles, giving her a reach in neutral most of the cast can't contest. She fights from a step further out than she looks like she should.
Flex On 'Em is a dodge that evades everything but throws and chains into her moves on a late input; Karate Chop is a leaping overhead, Rubber Bind a close-range command grab, and Jersey Lariat a spinning anti-air. So she pairs long reach with a real defensive read and a high/low-and-grab mixup once she's in.
No install to track; the game is using that reach and the dodge to get in, then mixing between the overhead and the grab. EMBIGGEN!, the Ultimate, is a grab that also catches airborne opponents in hitstun.
In the open beta she was picked 55 times, split 21 on point and 34 as an assist — the most point-leaning split of the assist-heavy fighters. Her reach and her own mixup give her a real solo game, and enough players leaned into it that her point number sits higher than the pure zoners'.
Kit-level gameplan from Ms. Marvel’s documented moves and the open-beta usage split — not frame data. Specific frame advantages and matchup reads land once the retail build is tested.
On the Vibranium and above leaderboard, Ms. Marvel was picked 55 times across 1,600 character slots — 15th most-picked of the 16 playable.
Players overwhelmingly used Ms. Marvel as an assist — 62% of picks — rather than as the fighter they started the match with. Compare every fighter’s beta pick rate.
By raw picks, Ms. Marvel landed just ahead of Danger and just behind Captain America.
Popularity is not strength — this counts what people chose over one three-day weekend on a pre-launch build, not what wins.
