Advanced Strategies

Uppercut: Good

Jump Kick: Awesome

Roundhouse: Good

One of the best close in fighters. The Blue Bolt is an average missile weapon that does average damage. Baraka is very vulnerable after he shoots it. He can easily be swept from long range, and his arms stick way out, just waiting to be hit. The Blade Fury, the bloodiest move in the game, is good to use for inbound jumping opponents, or as part of a jump kick combo. It is hard to use at close range, because the motion requires three back taps, which move you away from your opponent. The Blade Swipe has long range, about the same as the sweep. The Double Kick may look funny, but it is devastating if used properly. At close range it is unblockable if used twice in a row. That, combined with the swipe, roundhouse, awesome jabs, and good roundhouse, make Baraka one tough fighter. Another assett is his jump kick, which has a huge hitting area. This makes it almost impossible to defend against his jump kicks.
