Advanced V.G. 2/Satomi

Introduction

Satomi is gonna swing her arms around like this, and if you get hit, it's your own fault.

Satomi is one of the strongest characters in the game thanks to her straightforward, but overwhelmingly effective gameplan. She has some of the most fearsome normals in the game that allow her to bully her opponent in neutral, both sticking hitboxes out for the opponent to run into and being able to tag them for errent pokes with her whiff punish abilities. When the opponent has had enough and finally decides to jump, Satomi can unleash EX Kaenzan, the greatest anti-air in the game for beefy damage. Not only this, but when she gets into the enemy's face she can start a simple mixup with her cr.LK and Gokuensho overhead. While not as flashy as other characters in the game, her simplicity is a benefit because she doesn't require as much meter and thusly will usually have EX Kaenzan on deck.

Guard Cancels
LP: st.LP
LK: st.LK
HP: LK Gokuensho
HK: LP Kaenzan

LP has the best reward on hit, but LK is more reliable in more situations, and HP is a good catch-all guard cancel for knockdowns. HK has the best hitbox, but its speed as a guard cancel is strangely slow, making it somewhat unreliable.

Special Moves

Kaenzan

+

Version	Damage	Guard	Startup	Active	Recovery	FrameAdv
	-	Mid		-	-	-
Satomi hops upward, spinning her arms with accompanying flames. An incredible anti-air, not only is it useful in stopping air advances, but Satomi is considered airborne during her entire recovery. Now this does not necessarily stop her from being punished, but any opponent thinking they are going to get a grounded punish will have their combo whiff.
	-	Mid		-	-	-
+	-	Mid		-	-	-
Bar none the best anti-air in the game. The hitbox on EX Kaenzan is so big that it will even catch cross-up attempts. Not only that but anyone hit by EX Kaenzan will warp in front of Satomi, which is important because she can link a second EX Kaenzan afterwards.
