Plasma Sword/Ghost Bilstein

Introduction

Overview

(Insert brief description about character and how they play, other details)

Strengths

Weaknesses

Great mid-range neutral: Bilstein has a big sword that eats up the mid range, and this, combined with his limited-range fireball, allow him to dictate the pace of the match at most ranges except point blank and max screen. High Damage: Both Bilstein versions can easily convert any cancelable poke into their supers, allowing them to score gigantic chunks of damage easily. Super Armor: Bilstein's Gigant Armor grants him super armor for a period of time, and can be safely applied after landing any combo. This is a powerful and unique tool that can play a big role in allowing Bilstein to keep up pressure in some matchups, especially since it stops cinematic attacks like Plasma Fields.

Needs Meter: Without meter, Bilstein's risk vs. reward is awful, and since 3B is the only real big source of meter building he has in his combos, he can often find himself behind in this regard if the opponents stick to him. 46B: Bilstein's 46B is one of the worst moves in the game, and unfortunately, it's very easy to activate when trying to walk backwards and do any B move as a whiff punish. This particularly shows up when trying to whiff punish with 3B, which is arguably Bilstein's best move. One accidental 46B could very well be the difference between winning and losing a round for Bilstein. Gigant Armor Scaling: The trade off of having access to super armor with high health is that each hit Bilstein takes in Gigant Armor is unscaled, meaning there are some attacks that will shred his lifebar that otherwise wouldn't.

Your primary zooning tool. This is a projectile with limited range that can clip jumpers at certain heights, and on hit it knocks down and sends the enemy full screen. Without meter this is also your combo ender, as it gives you a free armor setup (or just room to brethe)
