The Rotisserie Rushdown

Introduction

Blaziken is the ultimate jack of all trades. His neutral is above average, having a great anti air in 4A, a fireball in Flame Kick, and a run to help close up space. His damage is consistently high, and bolstered when bar comes into play. On pressure he's no joke either; he has one of the most useful throws in the game in 6C along with great normals like 6A and a terrifying overhead in the form of Blaze Kick, making him a terrifying, near-unstoppable snowball.

Blaziken is not perfect however; he struggles to consistently gain meter. Unlike other characters, Blaziken is unable to combo into his sweep from his normals, forcing him to work harder for meter gain. Along with that, some matchups force Blaziken to play the opponent's game, namely Primeape and Toxicroak either completely changing how Blaziken plays neutral or forcing him to take unnecessary risks to not take further damage.

Overall, Blaziken is great for those wanting to play someone both strong, consistent, and straightforward. While gaining meter can be difficult, once you gain it, the opponent is in for a rough time.

Playstyle

Pick if you like Avoid if you dislike
  • Jack of All Trades: Blaziken is good in almost every department; Consistent high damage that is bolstered with meter, great neutral, great pressure, etc.
  • Strong Conversions off of Stray Hits: Any hit that isn't something like a 6A usually leads to high reward and a free mixup for Blaziken, allowing him to run his pressure even more.
  • Consistency: In almost all situations, Blaziken is very consistent in what he can actually do, from advantage to disadvantage.
  • Terribly Tall: Being tall makes it easier for other characters to pressure Blaziken.
  • Volatile Matchups: Being a jack of all trades leaves Blaziken outshined in matchups against specialists like Toxicroak and Primeape.
  • No String into Sweep: Blaziken has no consistent way to gain meter, meaning he has to fish for throws and sweeps.
