Street Fighter EX2 Plus/Garuda

Introduction

Garuda is a bastard.

He's already tremendously strong in EX2+, but EXCEL and how he interacts with it put him over the top. Where other characters need to be deliberate with their Custom Combo routing, Garuda nets easy confirms and big damage off of just about everything. His routes look like CCs from Alpha 2: Any starter into multiple specials and a big DP ender for the knockdown.

5LK > Shuga x N > Kizan just obliterates the opponent.

Kara 6HK xx EXCEL gives Garuda an OS Throw Tech, Air Reset, and a High/Low Mixup for one bar.
