Introduction

Playstyle

Dr. Daro is a dynamic combo beast whose tricks ensure he's never in a fair fight.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Vital Point Striker: Daro deals incredibly high damage both in combos and neutral. He is often capable of killing opponents in one or two launchers/throws and his pokes are no less threatening. Chi Master: All of Daro's projectile attacks are incredible in their own ways. 214P is a strong offensive deterrent and OTG, 66P+K+G is one of the most powerful supers in the entire game, and 236P is a ridiculous tool that opens up opponents for free with proper use. Dirty Cheater: Daro's gimmicks range from minor nuisances to massive threats. His unique wakeup options make him dangerous even while knocked down, both of his command grabs give full combos, one of which cannot be escaped, and his unblockable projectile can also lead into a launch. Most of his approaching offense is also outright immune to grounded atemi. Daro forces the opponent to play his game, no matter what situation you put him in.

Axis Woes: Daro's only true flaw is his linear offense. His most dangerous tools can be evaded and punished aptly through proper use of sidestepping.
