Big Bang Beat Revolve/Devil

Devil Daigo
Estimated Health (After Scaling): 11886

Introduction

This character doesn't have much going for him, but most of his options are based in the air. Devil excels in the air more than anything else.

This is Daigo's powered up form (although you wouldn't guess it from his strength in this game).

General Strategy

Honestly, this character really can't do much. Your best option is to air stall and bait an anti air from the opponent, before going in for a punish. Daigo's only move the knocks down is his Super, which can only be done on the ground, so when you have meter the best plan is to route a ground based combo so you can get oki and get the rare chance to pressure the opponent.

Normal Moves

Standing Normals

5A

5A	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 150 Mid - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su A decent fast jab. It's pretty good in pressure but it's short range doesn't do well for much else.

5B

5B	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 450 Mid - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su A decent kick. It's a little stubby but not awful as a poke in close to mid range.

5C

5C	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 700 Mid - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su Easily Devil's best standing normal. It's a forward moving roundhouse, and it's a pretty great move for neutral due to it's far reach.

Crouching Normals

2A

2A	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 200 Mid - - - - - N, Sp, Su A fast jab. It has decent range but isn't usually worth doing above 5A.

2B

2B	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 400 Low - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su A fast low kick. This is Devil's only low normal, making it an important tool in pressure.

2C

2C	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 900 Mid - - - - - N, Sp, Su A forward moving uppercut, this is a pretty decent anti air but is mainly used in combos as a launcher.

Air Normals

jA

jA	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 250 High - - - - - N, Sp, Su A jumping jab. A pretty good air to air with more damage than it should reasonably have. Definitely worth doing.

jB

jB	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 500 High - - - - - N, Sp, Su An air kick. This is a good air to air and not much else, a pretty standard button with good damage.

jC

jC 1st hit 1st hit 2nd hit 2nd hit	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 500+400 High - - - - - N, Sp, Su A two hit kick. The first hit can only hit the opponent in the air, but the second hit works well as a jump-in.

Command Normals

6B

6C (air)	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 600 High - - - - - N, Sp, Su A leap forward followed by a kick. A strong air to air move and a staple in Devil's buttons.

Universal Mechanics

Throw

Throw 4/5AB	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 1000 Unblockable - - - - - NC Devil grabs the opponent and brings them into the air to damage them. Daigo gets a full combo off of this, making it a strong tool for a character who doesn't get much mix.

Big Bang Mode

Big Bang Mode ABC	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel N/A N/A - - - - - - Universal Big Bang Mode activation. Requires 3 bars and can be done anytime you have control on the ground. Lasts for about 7 seconds.

Special Moves

214A

Daigo Voice! 214A	Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 214A 800 Mid - - - - - - Daigo fires a slow moving projectile that travels in a wave across the screen. It's a pretty weak projectile, but has some uses in oki.

Daigo Wing! (j)623A/B

Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel A 200*8 All - - - - - - Devil's standard DP, although it has a very long range, and is air blockable, making it a lot weaker. This version goes higher and lasts longer. Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel B 700 All - - - - - - This version only hits once and doesn't travel as high, but it can be comboed after, making it a surprisingly good launcher.

B-Power Arts

214D

I Am a Devil ! ! 236D	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel - All - - - - - - Devil does a powerful Daigo Beam. This the the only way Devil can secure a knockdown, so it's the best use of meter whenever possible.

Big Bang Break

41236ABC

Super Daigo Beam! 41236ABC	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 4102 All - - - - - - Devil fires a massive Daigo beam, hitting to opponent many times. Decent as a combo ender when in Big Bang mode, especially if you're aiming to kill. Ends Big Bang Mode instantly.

Combos

Combo Theory

• Combo damage varies from character to character, so all damage numbers come from testing on a full-health Rouga.

Midscreen

• 5B > 5C > 2C xx 214A xx 214B > 5B xx 214A xx dl.214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > j.B xx Boost > j.A > j.B xx j.214A (3747)

• A very strong meterless midscreen combo, for all intents and purposes Rouga's BNB. It will always send the opponent to the corner, and give you oki on the knockdown.

• 6B xx j.214A xx Boost > dl.j.B > 214A xx dl.214B > 5B xx 214A xx dl.214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > 6A xx *623A (2961)

• Good midscreen confirm off Rouga's overhead.

• 5B > 5C xx 2147D > *5C xx 214B > 2C xx 214A xx 214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > 6A xx *623A (5183)

• A very damaging combo midscreen that uses 1 meter. Just solid all around.

Corner

• 6B xx j.214A > 5C xx 214A xx dl.214B > 5B xx 214A xx dl.214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > 6A xx dl.623A (3589)

• Meterless corner combo for Rouga. This character has more damage than practically anyone else in the game, and this is a great example.
