Character Info

Hiro 2 has lots of tools, allowing her to play both a very defensive shoto style and a very aggressive in your face playstyle. This combined with her lvl 3 being a command grab makes your pressure very scary.
The downside of having such a good game plan from the start is that her damage is slightly lower compared to some of the other characters when her 2-3 bar combos come into question, and you will find that you need more hits than other characters to take games.
Nevertheless she still ha an amazing neutral game, pressure, and a flexible playstyle that can be adapted for any matchup.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Has a fireball with variable timing, a low hitting version of said fireball, and can also shoot both a high and low fireball at once Has a dp that you can Seal of Time to combo off of Has an I-No dash, allowing you to be extremely aggressive with fast overheads Has amazing pressure, is very safe on block on multiple moves, and has an amazing high low mix up thanks to her unique dash Has a Shinryuken super that can be canceled into other moves on the first hit and while rising before the last hit Lvl 3 is a command grab so it can't be blocked

Shares the lowest health and guard health in the game with Jadou2, and many characters can kill her from above her burst threshold because of it Supers are situational, and can leave Hiro2 very vulnerable if improperly used Due to how dash works pressure can be difficult against certain opponents as you cant airblock, making you vulnerable to fast buttons and anything with invuln startup Lvl 3 is a command grab so you can't combo into it Raw ground c normals are pretty niche, very slow and you can't combo off of them, solid as pokes however
