Big Bang Beat Revolve/Miyazato

Miyazato
Estimated Health (After Scaling): 12578

Introduction

Miyazato has a lot of strange tools, including a set of assists, and in general she can be very hard to get a hang of at the beginning. Once you start understanding her tools, however, she has some of the best neutral in the game and a lot of strong tools to keep the opponent where you want them.

General Strategy

Miyazato's greatest strength lies in her pokes. Her C attacks have great range and do moderate damage on their own. Super jumps are more important for Miyazato than the rest of the cast as they extend the range that she can safely execute a j.C while jumping in on an opponent.

She is the only character with assists, and one of their greatest strengths is that they can't be stopped. The instant Miyazato does the summoning animation, the assists will come out and attempt their attacks, no matter what. Saki is best used for pressuring your opponent when in close and even keeping them out or punishing their attacks. Shouko is great for numerous setups as she has delay, tracking, and will bounce your opponent up on hit.

Miyazato's combos are rather "cookie cutter," and thanks to the game's scaling she has a hard time breaking into the 3k range for damage. This is somewhat negligible as long combos aren't really her thing and a lot of her short, simple combos are much more reliable and damaging. Her super, when used by itself, does more damage than most characters in the same situation. 41236C can be used in mixup for throw attempts if your opponent is expecting the kick, but use it sparingly because it's not safe.

Normal Moves

Standing Normals

5A

5A	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 150 Mid - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su A solid standard jab. It's air unblockable, and is a pretty decent poke.

5B

5B	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 500 Mid - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su This is also air unblockable, and is a great normal in general due to its fantastic range.

5C

5C	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 750 Mid - - - - - N, Sp, Su A very strong poke tool with a massive range. You'll be using this a lot in neutral, and it's air unblockable to boot.

Crouching Normals

2A

2A	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 100 Mid - - - - - N, Sp, Su A fast low jab. Not a low, which makes it not a great low button, but it can have usage in pressure strings.

2B

2B	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 400 Low - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su A fast low kick. A very good low poke, especially with the range. This is very useful to get a low poke in.

2C

2C	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 650 Mid - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su A crouching chain swing. Unfortunately it's not a low, making it inferior to 5C in most ways.

Air Normals

jA

jA jump	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 100 High - - - - - N, Sp, Su A fast air jab. This button is best used as an air-to-air, as it doesn't have much combo potential and is an unreliable jump-in.

jB

jB jump	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 600 High - - - - - N, Sp, Su A high kick in the air. A decent air to air when you have the time for it.

jC

jC jump	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 750 High - - - - - N, Sp, Su A chain whip downwards. A fantastic jump-in, but be careful when you press, as pressing while too close to the ground will cause the move to mess up and leave you vulnerable to a punish.

Command Normals

6A

6A There's the target!	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 600 Mid - - - - - J, N, Sp, Su An upwards chain whip. This is a launcher and also a pretty good anti-air due to its range. It's good in combos to add a little extra damage.

6B

6B Take this too!	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 600 All - - - - - N, Sp, Su A short hop into her j.B. Not an overhead, but its aerial state means you can avoid some low attacks with a proper read, and it launches allowing for combos.

Universal Mechanics

Your turn, Shouko!

This assist has a fast cooldown, making it less risky to use. It launches on hit and has slight tracking properties, making it a decent neutral tool.

214C

It's my turn!	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 700 High - - - - - - Miyazato runs forward and falls on her face. This is a pretty slow overhead, but it has its uses in pressure, and landing it launches for a full combo.

41236X

Tight Chain / (~)

Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel A N/A Mid - - - - - Su A fast hitgrab that does no damage on its own but allows for a follow-up with 4C, a decent sideswitch poke in this case. Can be used to catch the opponent tying to jump to avoid the B version. Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel B N/A Unblockable - - - - - Su This version is a lot slower, but acts as a command grab. This makes it fairly useful to mix your opponent, although keep in mind it is pretty slow. Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel ...~4C 1200 N/A - - - - - - You'll pretty much want to do this follow-up every time, since it does the damage of the move. This will throw the opponent behind you though, so be prepared for that.

63214C

Cyclone Chain	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 10+200*7+500 All - - - - - Sp, Su Miyazato spins her chain around. This pushes the opponent very far back on block. It also wallbounces on hit, making it a decent combo tool.

623X

Spiral Chain //

Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel B 950 Mid - - - - - - This version still hits once, but goes higher up and does more damage. Version Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel C 300+400+500 All - - - - - - This version goes the highest and can hit up to 3 times.

B-Power Arts

214D

Rumble Chain Initial punches Initial punches Final chain whip Final chain whip	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 300*7 + 1100 Mid - - - - - - Miyazato does a series of punches followed by a final chain whip. This does a lot of damage, and many hits are air-unblockable, but it scales pretty bad. Even so, it is worth using as a metered combo ender.

Big Bang Break

41236ABC

Miyazato Corps, Gather!	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 300*21+1000 All - - - - - - Miyazato whips her chain out.
