Big Bang Beat Revolve/Kunagi

Kunagi
Estimated Health (After Scaling): 10962

Introduction

Kunagi is a powerful, well-rounded character with some of the best normals in the game, as well as extremely versatile projectiles that can be used both in the air and on the ground. She can attack from angles that most other characters aren't equipped to deal with, and can be considered to have one of the best neutral games with her high mobility and strong tools for controlling space. Her damage is quite poor, and her offense boils down to basic strike-throw outside of a handful of knowledge checks.

Kunagi Tenrou is one of the two main heroines of Big Bang Age, and a playable character in Big Bang Beat. Kunagi is Rouga Zanma's strong-willed childhood friend and fiancée. She's blunt and direct with everyone, Rouga included, and that contributes to her difficulties in getting along with most people. However, so far as Rouga and her friends are concerned, she has both a soft spot for them and the utmost faith in their abilities.

General Strategy

Kunagi's strength is her ability to control the neutral. You'll be using your superior mobility in conjunction with your air fireballs to harass opponents from a safe distance and make it difficult for them to find an opening. Kunagi's tools are excellent for ensuring that you only have to engage the opponent on your own terms. On offense, run strike throw with absurdly fast 5A staggers and various plus-on-block normals including 4C.

Combos

Combo Theory

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

Midscreen

• 5/2A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 4C > j.C(1) > j.236B > 6A > 421A~C > dl j.236A > 4C > j.C(1) > j.236b > 6A > 421A~C > j.22C (2405)

• This is your standard meterless BnB, giving you a strong knockdown anywhere on screen.

• 5/2A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 4C > j.C(1) > j.236B > 6A > 421A~C > dl j.236A > 4C > j.C(1) > j.236b > 6A > 421A~C > dl j.236A > 4C > j.C > j.623B > j.623D (2999)

• This is a metered version of the above combo that sacrifices okizeme for roughly 600 more damage. Only suggest using this for guaranteeing a KO.

Corner

• 5/2A > 5B > 5C > 2C > 4C > j.C(1) > j.236B > 6A > 421A~C > dl j.236A > 4C > j.C(1) > j.236b > 6A > 421A~C > dl j.236A > 4C > ABC > dl 63214D, 63214D, 63214D, 623D (4788)

• Resource dump BBM combo. Doesn't have to start in the corner, just need to be there by the first 63214D.
