Ougon Musou Kyoku/George Ushiromiya

George Ushiromiya

Background

George Ushiromiya is Eva's and Hideyoshi's son. He is an affable young man, and is liked by everyone in the family. He is an apprentice to his father's company, and it looks like he finally has dreams of independence. He is the oldest of the four cousins and often acts as a peacemaker.

Introduction

Oldest of the four cousins comes in with power of his love Shannon, Taekwondo practice and glasses pushing. All these give him surprisingly good damage without needing to use meter, and good jumping normals which makes him hard to anti air and contest on air in general. His 2SP is really good for combo extension without minimum scaling and snowballing, and his MetaSuper is good way to get out of pressure and force opponent to play more carefully anytime. If you don't mind getting stunned very easily or lacking dangerous mixups, George is a simple character to play especially and fun especially for parry enthusiasts.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Decent damage: George can do quite alot damage with his 6C juggle conversions without needing to use meter. He also has alot options there to go for either knockdown, corner carry or damage. Great SP2: George has one of the best SP2s in game, offering combo extensions and disabling opponent's tag meter for 5 seconds, which is important to get that possible stun. Very hard to contest on air: George's jump normals are good to point he is hard to antiair or challenge in air, so he can abuse jumping quite alot MetaSuper forces a mindgame: His MetaSuper being 1f parry, it forces opponent to play more carefully everytime he has meter advantage, since reckless button pressing will get you parried to damaging parry which also be juggles from.

Lowest stun in the game: George can get stunned by just one combo from many characters, which can be very bad for danged of getting snowballed. Lackluster neutral in ground: George also has hard time picking up damage or poke on ground, so he is forced to jump in alot, which makes his gameplay predicteable Lack of good mixups: He cannot open people up easily without going for fake, risky options.

Ability

Patience - Amount of meter built while blocking is increased. The character on point also gains meter while blocking.

Feel free to edit this part of the wiki with your tips/strats what partners are best for George to use. Remember I'm watching you.

The information displayed here is from the 2022 Team Tier List from the Ougon Discord Thus, it is open to change, but it should work as a building block for people looking for team pairing ideas. If you are a player of any of the teams and want to change anything feel free to do so.

Reasons to choose George for your team

• SP2. It's SP2. He has other nice qualities about him and his ability can kinda work with more defensive teams but really, SP2 is the main attraction. Rosa's Detachment on command for 2 bars is incredibly powerful, if a bit costly.
• Due to this, a lot of George teams aren't picked because of George's overall synergy with them, but rather, how good can they make use of George's Detachment effect on his SP2, and how good are they at building his meter cost. These teams tend to have troubles on the neutral and meterless damage, but when they get rolling, they get rolling.

Image	Team Composition	1 Bar of Health	Notable information
	George/Ange	Health	You can just jump on them and they also can’t do any damage, their mixup can be interesting though. Ange/Rono outclasses this in every way that matters.
	George/Battler	Health	Overly focused on neutral with limited ability to do damage. Reset-heavy. Both prefer Ronove.
	George/Black Battler	Health	Bad bulk and damage, no synergy, suffers from the same issues as Bat/George. Relies on reset and mixup even though it’s the easiest team in the game to punish.
	George/Beatrice	Health	An underestimated team which probably snowballs better than almost any other. SP2s from George prevent the opponent from touching and he can use them extremely liberally as Beatrice gives him one for free and easily generates the SP for more with her towers. SP2 the opponent, switch to Beatrice, turn 1SP from her into 5SP for George, SP2 them again, repeat. Your momentum never ends if you play correctly and the opponent won’t survive this cycle long; the moment their guard capacity is high in the corner, Beatrice can shred their healthbar. A few confirms will take you far, and George complements Beato’s low-SP playstyle better than anyone. Similar to Beato/Jess though, you need to get George handle neutral so you might not always get into that sweet spot cycle that makes this team so good.
	George/Bernkastel	Health	It’s hard to justify picking George over someone else for Bern, such as Ronove or Battler. Beato also fills Bern’s role a little better here. Bern also has no use for Patience as blocking is not her favorite thing. This pair still works though. Bern can do meterless combos off of George’s 6C which is nice, as well as build up some meter for his SP2. George is also much more threatening in MetaWorld and MetaBoost enables him to stay in that state for as long as possible and focus on counterplay. *Pretty much one of George’s best teams, but certainly not one of Bern’s. Expect some cool mixup though.
	George/Chiester 410	Health	Pretty excellent mixup and decent neutral, can be a pretty annoying team but generally doesn’t come out on top. Easy to bully early in the match. Bad damage.
	George/Dlanor	Health	There is no reason to pick George as the one to handle neutral for Dlanor, Battler and Bern are both much better options for speed and approaching ability. 15-second ArmorBoost is nice as always though. Dlanor’s damage pales in comparison to Beato’s in practical play.
	George/Erika	Health	No gameplan, awkward combos, bad damage. Mixup and neutral are fairly good. This team is fun but lacks any serious killing power. Force Counter suits George fine.
	George/EVA-Beatrice	Health	Both have low stun which isn’t fun, they also have no real synergy. Berserk helps George’s damage a bit, but Battler’s the obviously preferable choice for Eva here. George is a little better at mixup, but not enough to use him as Eva has her own anyway.
	George/Jessica	Health	A balanced and honest team with no huge strengths or weaknesses. Both characters just kind of do what they do without special interactions. Neither typically benefits much from the other’s ability, but both last for 15 seconds which is cool for what it’s worth. George’s larger normals and better aerials complement Jessica’s high damage and shorter, faster normals designed for pressure. Solid but both have teams that are more damaging and more efficient. Jess/Rono outclasses this team in most ways, though George’s neutral is a bit more unpredictable which can be a good match Jessica’s punishing damage.
	George/Kanon	Health	Awkward and low damage. Reacts poorly to pressure unless George has an SP advantage. Kind of decent neutral and mixup.
	George/Lambdadelta	Health	Bad damage, guardbreak reliant, fragile, pretty bad meterless. No moveset synergy. Ability synergy on paper but this doesn’t really influence the match very frequently.
	George/Lucifer	Health	Major damage issues, Bat/Luci outclasses, can excel in mixup but low stun on both and low health makes this team very punishable.
	George/Ronove	Health	Good, but badly overshadowed by Beato/George. Rono is one of the few characters whose regular playstyle benefits from Patience at least to some extent. He also builds some nice meter for George to turn into SP2 down the line, and CounterBoost improves George’s damage and stun which can be lacking. But both characters would prefer someone else.
	George/Rosa	Health	No gameplan, bad damage, awkward pressure. George’s grab works well with Detachment at least. Rosa can kind of appreciate Patience, but not that much.
	George/Shannon	Health	Their abilities synergise perfectly, but they’re both defensive so it’s not that impressive. Their roles are clear but there’s no reason to choose Shannon over Beato (except love).
	George/Virgilia	Health	George can’t corner carry that well which Lia really needs, he far prefers Beato. Lia prefers Rono. Terrible reaction to pressure.
	George/Willard	Health	George is at a disadvantage to Battler or Kanon for Will’s partner, but these two form a functional pair. George really prefers Beato too though. Weird pick for either.
