Bleach Vs Naruto/Byakuya (Normal)

Byakuya

Overview

Strengths

Weaknesses

Strong zoning: Byakuya's U has great range and can lead into combos at any range. Great meter build: Byakuya's U has high meter build on whiff and has a low enough recovery where is can build meter efficiently, allowing Byakuya to be able to frequently use Ghost Step and Combo Breakers. Strong air game: Byakuya's aerials has great tracking, especially vertically, which allows him to punish in the air unlike most characters. Great at catching dashes with meter: Byakuya's I and Air I are tracks the opponent which makes them great tools for punishing dashes.

Heavily relies on meter: Byakuya needs meter to abuse his I and Air I for multiple scenarios. In a game where meter is important for combo breaks and ghost step, Byakuya may not be able to use these mechanics as often as most characters because of this and if Byakuya does happen to use combo breaks and ghost step often, he loses opportunity to use I or Air I to catch dashes or set up unblockables.
