Daigo
Estimated Health (After Scaling): 11785
Introduction
Daigo is an up close brawler with a unique stock mechanic, where some moves give you a stock while others use it. Using this mechanic in a smart way leads to a very strong up close character, that can stick to the opponent like glue.
Daigo is a student at Makoto Academy. He's an acquaintance of Kongomaru Sanzou and his sister, Kongomaru Aya. Daigo also has a crush on Aya, but she does not reciprocate his feelings.
General Strategy
The goal with Daigo is to open up the opponent and end up with more stocks than you started with. Stocks give you access to Daigo's more powerful moves, and allow for much more damage. Stick to that opponent and keep the pressure up with his myriad of plus on block buttons, and try to build enough stocks to end the match.

A solid standard jab. It's air unblockable, but it whiffs on crouching opponents so keep that in mind when using this button.

This is also air unblockable, and has a great startup as well as good range. It's a pretty good normal for Daigo.

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.

Universal Big Bang Mode activation. Requires 3 bars and can be done anytime you have control on the ground. Lasts for about 7 seconds. During Big Bang Mode, Daigo gains infinite stocks, allowing him to use his stronger moves a lot more.

Rouga moves forward and does a high kick. This version moves forward the least, but is pretty useful as combo filler.

This is a feint more than anything, as Rouga doesn't actually attack. Overall not a great button since it can't cancel.

A follow-up to j214D, Rouga does a powered up version of 6B. This is essentially another divekick after the first, and is useful to squeeze out some extra damage or catch an opponent who block j214D.

Rouga does a B-Dash forwards. If he hits the opponent he charges up a massive punch that sends the opponent flying. Good as a combo ender when in Big Bang mode, especially if you're aiming to kill. Ends Big Bang Mode instantly.

Combos
Combo Theory
- Combo damage varies from character to character, so all damage numbers come from testing on a full-health Rouga.
Midscreen
- 5B > 5C > 2C xx 214A xx 214B > 5B xx 214A xx dl.214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > j.B xx Boost > j.A > j.B xx j.214A (3747)
- A very strong meterless midscreen combo, for all intents and purposes Rouga's BNB. It will always send the opponent to the corner, and give you oki on the knockdown.
- 6B xx j.214A xx Boost > dl.j.B > 214A xx dl.214B > 5B xx 214A xx dl.214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > 6A xx *623A (2961)
- Good midscreen confirm off Rouga's overhead.
- 5B > 5C xx 2147D > *5C xx 214B > 2C xx 214A xx 214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > 6A xx *623A (5183)
- A very damaging combo midscreen that uses 1 meter. Just solid all around.
Corner
- 6B xx j.214A > 5C xx 214A xx dl.214B > 5B xx 214A xx dl.214B > 2C > 6A > dl.5C > 6A xx dl.623A (3589)
- Meterless corner combo for Rouga. This character has more damage than practically anyone else in the game, and this is a great example.
