Duels of Fortune/Baron

Overview

Overview

Give an overview of the char.

Playstyle

Baron armors his way into the opponent's face and mixes them with his terrifying command grabs.
Pros	Cons
Fear Invoking Mixups - Like any good grappler, Baron's command grabs are terrifying to get hit by. While not especially rewarding in midscreen besides solid damage, both of Baron's main command grabs give a combo in the corner, combos that can deal over 20K with 50 meter. The fear of these alone can cause opponents to do poor reversals or bursts, depriving them of valuable resources. Explosive Damage Output - Baron does by far the most damage in the game besides Johnson, and doesn't even have to spend resources. Thanks to his ability to combo into both of his highly damaging command grabs, Baron does over 10K on bnbs and even more on bigger starters with resources in play. This amount of damage means it's common for Baron to two touch or even ToD opponents. Great Armored Moves - Baron's 4H, 2[H], and 2S are all strong armored moves. 4H allows him to safely approach opponents and anti-air. 2S is a strong defensive tool as well as a threatening option on offense. Finally, 2[H] can punish projectiles and get his pressure started. Big Normals - Baron's normals while not disjointed cover a sizable distance and generally convert into combos very well. Standouts are 5M, 4H, and 2[H]. 2[H] in particular is similar to Potemkin's slide head, only it's capable of converting from full combos even at a distance. Great Defensive Choices - While he does have slow buttons, Baron has plenty of ways to deal with pressure. His reversal is huge and covers his entire body, making it great at catching even crossups. His wakeup reversal is even bigger, one of the biggest in the game. Beyond reversal, his 2S is a near frame 1 armored move, allowing him to interrupt gaps without spending resources. Additionally, he can catch opponents attempting to bait reversals with 63214S and potentially get a huge amount of damage. High Health - Baron has by far the highest health in the game at 30K. This means he often takes an extra hit or two to kill, giving him more time to start his offense and build resources.	Awful Movement - Baron has the weakest movement in the game, lacking a forward dash, air dashes, having extra long prejump, and very slow walk speeds. This makes getting in on opponents and dealing with characters who have strong mobility quite difficult. Committal Neutral - While Baron's neutral options are incredibly threatening due to their reward, most can be reliably avoided by patient and reactive opponents, and many are punishable if the opponent understands how they work. Weak to Guard Reversal - Baron's buttons have higher recovery than normal, meaning he's especially weak to being guard cancel reversaled. This can be especially frustrating since it's hard for him to get close in the first place. While he can call this out with a meaty command grab, he's often not in a position to do this. Huge Hurtbox - Baron has the biggest hurtbox in the game, meaning he tends to be caught by all sorts of things including a few instant overheads. In particular, it makes reaction anti-airing especially against low to the ground air dashes difficult.
