Overview

Combos

Matchups

Strategy

Misc.

Introduction

The King of Taiyo high, Batsu is here to scream at everyone and fight with his friends

Gameplay

Extremely damaging (and long) combos that can start anywhere on the screen, really decent fireball, and has his own alpha counter

Strengths

Weaknesses

Slow but large moving fireball that helps zone very easily Divekick will get him in and out of danger easily, with baroque he can move whereever he wants when he wants Very good supers Extremely good combos with moderate execution Can sacrifice defense to tank basically everything in the game and startup any of his combos off of this One of the few standing low chars All of his supers have a use and do great damage

Assist is underwhelming. A very short range DP that doesn't do much. His actual DP is just as overwhelming Doesn't have much in terms of blockstrings, needs BBQ or partner

Moves List

Normal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5A	7	2	17	-	800	Low	Standing low, you can bully people a bit with it.
2A	7	2	18	-	800	Low	Crouching kick, reaches farther than 5A, not much else to say
5B	9	3	17	-	1600	-	Batsu Steps forward a bit and punches, it's decent range, nothing to complain about
2B	9	3	19	-	1600	-	Batsu crouches and punches forward, on top of him already leaning forward his entire character model moves forward a few pixels as well.
6B	25	4	30	-	2400	Overhead	Batsu steps back slightly, then lunches with the right hook. Hits overhead, extremely unsafe if you don't cancel it to anything. You can perform this move while blocking (Tardy Counter), doing so puts Batsu in a hyper armor state and in 99% of cases he'll get red life out of it giving him a free baroque
5C	13	4	24	-	3200	Low	One of his many overheads. It cannot be linked from any of his other normals, but it will chain to 2C or a special. After using it it's probably best to start charging for an elbow slash. May whiff on shorter characters or on some crouch hitboxes
2C	14	2	33	-	3340	Low	Decent range sweep and sets up his divekick loops.
6C	25	4	12	-	3800	Stagger	Batsu leans forward and gives them an elbow. After stagger you can super, or if you have the timing you can IAD j.B, which lets you start a divekick loop or a raw launcher. You can perform this move while blocking (Tardy Counter), doing so puts Batsu in a hyper armor state and in 99% of cases he'll get red life out of it giving him a free baroque
3C	15	4	34	-	2400	Launcher	Regular old launcher.
j.A	5	7	-	-	800	Overhead	Air jab, comes out fast enough, you probably won't see it often unless a combo filler and even that's stretching
j.B	9	7	-	-	1600	Overhead	Your main tool in combos and a decent neutral tool.
j.C	13	9	-	-	3200	Overhead	Batsu spreads out his legs and his whole body is a hitbox. Very hard to challenge, only drawback is the startup but he can recover and just toss them out repeatedly that it doesn't matter.

Universal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Var Starter	12	4	-	-	3200	Tag Out
Crossover Counter (3C)	29	-	-	-	2400	-
Forward Throw	-	-	-	-	5200	-	Small note on all of Batsu's throws, he recovers fast enough to jump and IAD so you can do little oki setups
Back Throw	-	-	-	-	5200	-
Air Forward Throw	-	-	-	-	6000	-
Air Back Throw	-	-	-	-	6000	-

Special Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Guts Bullet	Light: 19 Medium: 23 Heavy:27	Light: 17 Medium: 25 Heavy:33	-	-	Light: 2848 Medium: 3076 Heavy: 3288	Projectile	Super huge projectile, provides massive amounts of hitstun. Very good projectile overall at a distance, do not use it for block strings or in punish range as the recovery is horrible
Air Guts Bullet	Light: 17 Medium: 21 Heavy:27	Light: 17 Medium: 25 Heavy:33	-	-	Light: 2848 Medium: 3076 Heavy: 3288	Projectile	Still a pretty solid projectile, Batsu loses all vertical momentum so he may be a sitting duck for anyone that dodges and comes under. Hitstun is still massive, can air Guts Bullet and move into divekicks easily.
Guts upper	12	1	-	-	Light: 2280 Medium: 2964 Heavy: 3648	-	Batsu's DP, it's not very good, it can be a setup for divekick loops and maybe maybe out of sheer luck an anti-air but it's definitely a move you can do that was programmed in the game for some reason.
Crescent Kick	22	1	-	-	Light: 4439 Medium: 4756: Heavy: 5624	Overhead	You saw how I trashed Guts upper above? I apologize, this is the move that should be trashed, it's an overhead, but batsu already has 6B, so this move has no purpose. Maybe an Anti-air but that startup is so bad, even with baroque it's hard to combo off it, the only redeeming quality it has is the damage and even that's hard to justify. Forget this move exists unless you're actually playing Project Justice and at that point you should be using Roberto anyway
Shooting Star Kick	19	-	-	-	2000	-	AKA Why you are playing Batsu. B or C divekick can be used to close the gap (provided you have the proper assist or baroque) or just snipe out players with low health for the chip kill, it can be cancelled into his Guts Super, and is the entire gameplan around his divekick loops A version hits downward 30 degrees B Version hits 45 degrees C Version hits 70 Degrees almost horizontal
