Big Bang Beat Revolve/Devil

Devil Daigo
Estimated Health (After Scaling): 11886

Introduction

Despite what his resemblance to Daigo might imply, Devil Daigo is an air-focused character. Having a unique dash and double jump, several air dashes, and space control tools like air projectiles, his options there excel more than anything else. Unfortunately, his damage is not particulary great and he can't get consistent oki, so he doesn't have much going for him.

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. Devil's only move the knocks down is his B-Power Art, 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 take 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 its 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. Pretty decent anti-air, but is mainly used in combos as a launcher.

Air Normals

jA

jA jump	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 jump	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 jump 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

j6C Devil Sobat jump	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
