Big Bang Beat Revolve/Daigo

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.

Normal Moves

Standing Normals

5A

5A	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 100 Mid - 5 - - +2 J, N, Sp, Su A solid standard jab. It's air unblockable, but it whiffs on crouching opponents so keep that in mind when using this button.

5B

5B	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 500 Mid - 8 - - 0 J, N, Sp, Su This is also air unblockable, and has a great startup as well as good range. It's a pretty good normal for Daigo.

5C

5C	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 800 Mid - 11 - - +1 J, N, Sp, Su A strong roundhouse. This is very strong and overall a very good normal, especially in combos because of the damage.

Crouching Normals

2A

2A	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 150 Mid - 8 - - +2 N, Sp, Su A fast low jab. This has higher damage than his 5A, making it a pretty good normal to use as a close range poke.

2B

2B	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 600 Mid - 11 - - -7 J, N, Sp, Su A crouching uppercut. This is forward moving, and a decent anti air, but overall not a great normal.

2C

2C	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 850 Low - 11 - - +4 N, Sp, Su A low sweep. This is Daigo's only low normal, and it's a pretty good sweep with good range, if a bit slow.

Air Normals

jA

jA	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 200 High - 5 - - - 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	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 500 High - 8 - - - N, Sp, Su A long reaching air kick. Another good air-to-air since it goes completely horizontal, and does decent damage.

jC

jC	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 850 High - 10 - - - N, Sp, Su A kick up from the air. This is Daigo's best jump normal, and launches the opponent on hit for a full combo.

Command Normals

6B

6B	Damage Guard Property Startup Active Recovery Block Adv Cancel 400 Low - 14 - - +1 N, Sp, Su A low stomp. This is a pretty decent low and is relatively fast. Definitely something worth using.

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.
