|description= Ayako busts out the moves with a breakdancing spin that has 3 hits during it's long active time. Due to pushback, if this gets blocked it can wind up being very punishable. The flipside is that the 3rd hit has the most range so you might be able to tag them if they go in for an early punish but this is not a plan you want to set your clock to.

|description= Ayako grabs the opponent and flips down to Earth to slam them, probably her best aerial option as other facets of her aerial game are purely fine.

= Strategy =
Ayako thrives at the midrange. You can honestly get a lot of mileage out of basically spamming st.LK, since it's fast, has fantastic range, and links into itself, allowing you to easily confirm into a combo. If your opponent decides to jump at you, st.HP will very easily swat them out of the air, and since this normal is also a launcher, you'll often be able to convert into a combo even if it trades.<br>
On defense, you can use EX Mach Spin as a reversal thanks to its speed, but your best bet is to try and land st.HP anti-airs, since most characters will try to start offense with jumping normal chains.<br>
Ayako is also able to very easily punish throw techs with her st.HP, and combined with her ability to combo after her throw in the corner, this gives her an unexpectedly scary throw game. Learn the timing for st.HP after a throw tech so you don't have to react to it.
== Combos ==
'''Basic Combos'''<br>

Introduction

Ayako has entered the tournament to test the mettle of her unkillable vibes.

Ayako, despite her party gal image, is a character who excels at space control and grounded footsies. Sporting great pokes, solid anti-airs and a reliable tool for low-profiling moves in neutral, Ayako has just about everything she needs to play the ground game, and play it well. However, despite having an air throw, her air presence is hampered by a relatively weak set of air normals, and her overall damage output leaves something to be desired, even with her solid meter efficiency.

Ayako has a unique glitch that allows her to guard cancel when blocking in the air, she can do this into any of her air normals and her air throw. This makes air-to-air encounters with Ayako a very dangerous proposition.

Avg2 ayako mini.png Ayako is a footsies-focused character who wants to use her dominant pokes to bully opponents into the corner, where she can enforce her powerful throw game.
Pros Cons
  • Fantastic grounded space control tools that convert into easy damage
  • Scary throw game thanks to a normal throw that starts combos even if the opponent softens it
  • Very meter efficient, with plenty of ways to build and spend bar
  • Unique glitch allows her to guard cancel aerial blockstun
  • Greatest idle animation ever
  • Fairly weak aerial presence, despite having an air throw
  • Lack of solid jump normals means you'll be relying largely on grounded approaches
  • Somewhat low combo damage
  • Lacks both dash brake and dash super jump
