Introduction

Bulleta (バレッタ), also known as Baby Bonnie Hood, the Dark Hunter.

A thrill seeker who enjoys the hunt, to the point where she does it for the sport of the hunt rather than the pursuit of money. Because of this, she is mainly described as an antithesis to Donovan. She hunts solely for sport, while Donovan hunts to find meaning in his existence. As a profit-seeking Dark Hunter, she pretends to act like a defenseless girl as a way to trick her prey in order for them to get closer to her. Many of her hunting skills include stabbing her opponents with weapons such as knives, and using guns for shooting down her prey.

Bulleta is infamous for her execution ceiling. She has fantastic movement & projectile durability. This synergy makes her zoning & neutral game very effective. She is one of the few characters who gets wins with Time Overs. If you are willing to commit to an execution grind & play patiently, Bulleta is the right choice for you.

Gameplay

Primary objectives:

• Gain air-resets to setup her amazing jump-in offense. Chicken block to 9MP is strong
• Use missiles as uncontested anti-airs
• Leverage your movement to be evasive and play patiently
• Abuse instant overheads to overwhelm the opponent
• Convert combos when the opponent is standing into huge damage & corner positioning
• Utilize dashing offensive options to open-up the opponent

Strengths

Weaknesses

High mobility of ground dashing & double jumps allow lots of footsies & run away tactics Low risk options that increase chances for Time Over victories Extended combo damage on standing opponents Amazing high/low/UB offense during air-to-ground & ground-to-ground interactions Punch missile remains when hit, making it a very strong anti-air tool EX Huntsman can uniquely punish certain full screen options, this is a rare tool in VSAV High mobility enables effective ground-chasing during oki, adding to her overall offensive capability

Invincibility is gated behind meter Most reliable anti-air is a charge move: has to be stocked ahead of time Guard Cancel is very situational and does no damage Link combos & offensive confirms create a high execution ceiling Damage against air-state opponents is very low, making punishes for Demon Cradle & many other attacks a skewed risk/reward Single hit damage is low, making combo-damage necessary - this is compounded by unfavorable ground-to-air interactions listed above Lacks significant burst damage. Huge damage is gated behind standing opponents & a massive execution barrier

Good jab with a gratuitous amount of stun, renda or otherwise. Great for stuffing IAD or jump in shenanigans. Has essentially no whiff animation so you can use it with your dash to wavedash for some spacing without having to cancel it manually. Decent anti-air on its own, but what Bulleta gets off of the reset is outrageous. Bishamon and Victor can't crouch under it, so abuse it on them.

Very tricky projectile move. Stops your forward momentum completely and drops a mine. Toss at the end of a block-confirm to bait tech-hit (Zurashi). They'll still have to sit there and wait for the mine, or just flat out get hit from not expecting it. The advantage of this is option is that you can be out of the opponent's throw-range, so it's a much less risky Zurashi.

Absolutely dirty on oki. Predict their tech and place a mine at their feet for a noncommittal oki option that is safe against wake up upback and throw. If you do it meaty enough it will be safe against wake GCs as well. Once the mine is placed if they block correctly you can start doing standard Bulleta nonsense. Should the opponent fail to pushblock the mine it can be used as a tick throw setup for her command grab.

Disjointed projectile attack that causes a fire knockdown on hit and enables a pseudo-unblockable landing-low. Pretty solid hit-box so it can challenge & win most conventional anti-airs. This is great for setting up proximity block approaches very high up in the air. Please check the BUGs section to better understand her land-canceling nuance & pseudo-unblockable details.

This is what you are always charging for. It builds your meter, stops rushdown, and keeps you safe. Like any fireball, you want to use certain versions in certain situations, but Bulleta's missiles tend to be more lenient. One good thing to learn is to feel safe behind your missiles for the most part. Bulleta can dash 'with' her missiles due to the huge dash range, and it provides a good wall to close the gap. This doesn't apply to ES, despite it going farther, because multiple hits are easier to tech or guard cancel. Bulleta cannot use a missile while another is on the screen, unless in Dark Force.

• (LP Version): This missile is best used to stop steep angled or IAD pressure. Think Q-Bee rushdown or Talbain jump-ins. It can also be worked into your close range pressure game.
• (MP Version): The odd missile that doesn't have any specific use. Very specifically, you could try to get characters to 'fall' on it as they come down from an empty aerial move.
• (HP Version): This is best used when your opponent is being way too offensive but good with their pokes. That way you don't have to dash in to put on LP missiles where you might get hit, but you can still chip, build meter, and force them to come to you. Just be sure to look out for certain supers, like Talbain/Sasquatch beams or Felicia's helper super.

Really, there's nothing special to say about this version of the missile. It has all the same properties of the P missiles, and the K missiles should only be used in a situation where the P missile would miss. Just think Sagat's tiger shots. For some, it is also much more comfortable to land low ES missiles off two c.LK's over high ES missile. Bulleta cannot use a missile while another is on the screen, unless in Dark Force.

Boom champagne! This isn't your normal DP, it hits like one, but has no invincibility and requires pretty specific timing to hit someone out of the air. Stay away from this move unless your opponent is very predictable. The LP, MP, and HP versions are all the same. Molotov actually checks for projectiles on-screen, Bulleta cannot use molotov while another is on the screen.

This special is a big tool in Bulleta's arsenal, as it knocks down on hits and does a healthy amount of damage in one hit. While it has limited use as a pressure tool, you will want to save this for comboing into (don't underestimate the range). If you hold down the button before letting go, she will keep spinning the basket and it will get bigger and bigger. Obviously, this is incredibly easy to see and react to. The LP, MP, and HP versions are all the same, so use whichever is most comfortable in your combo input. You get a guaranteed pursuit after this move.

Bulleta teleports behind the opponent, leaving a cloud of smoke and a doll in her original place. Unfortunately, although this move has 29F invulnerability, Bulleta is vulnerable for the last 10F of the animation before she can move, making this not an especially useful GC. Although it can get her out of the corner, it's best used against very laggy moves with a lot of active frames or simply not used at all.

It's as if they gave guile a command throw. Get a feel for the throw protection and make good use of it whenever you find yourself point blank. You can tick off of pretty much all of her standard dash normals. If you expect people to be 1hit teching your meaties, just dash up and use the ES version to spin them around a bit. Off instant j.mp j.mk, if you've already convinced them to sit still for this mix-up you can skip the whole high-low nonsense and land point blank for a throw. Half the strength of this move is the psychological effect. Because this move exists, there will be instances where you'll end up killing your opponent on jump-out punishes alone. Of course it'll come back full circle and you'll be allowed to just do a couple lights into dash forward command throw. Abuse it.

Bulleta leaps a considerable distance and shoots downward onto her opponent, getting pushed back upwards. Whiff or not, this pursuit is essential to Bulleta's gameplay. It homes in to wherever the opponent is knocked down while still being very fast

Hunters will pop up behind Bulleta and start firing along with Bulleta. This will fire a medium-long range stream of bullets along the bottom of the screen, and fullscreen missiles along the top of the screen. Fairly unsafe on miss, but characters like Victor can be free uses of it sometimes. In a smart sense, you won't see much of this super. Its best to people who use normals or air dash from a far, high up position; if they get hit by one missile, they will be forced to stay blocking in the air. In situations like Jedah air dashing in at a distance, it is pretty smart and safe to use Cool Hunting.

With very short startup, Bulleta will move forward swinging knives. If whiffed, she will stop and be vulnerable for a short amount of time. If block, she will bounce off and likely eat a heavy normal punish. If it connects, it will keep them in the super and do full damage. Most players refuse to use their meter on this super. If you really have the game in your control, you can predict when people are going to throw something out trying to stop your rushdown and use this, as it has a fair amount of priority. That said, there is no specific way to use this super. Work it into your gameplay if you so desire, or save the meter for ES missiles. Beautiful Memory actually checks for projectiles on-screen, Bulleta cannot use Beautiful memory while a projectile is on the screen.

A command throw in which she puts an apple out in front of her, and the other character will pick it up if she is close enough and doesn't get hit out of it. Unlike her command throw, there is a specific whiff animation for this (a whiffed command throw would come out as basket) in which she puts out the apple then puts it back and is vulnerable for a short amount of time. This is harder to land than ES command throw, but is used in the same exact situations that ES command throw would be applied. Dashing in with this doesn't seem to be a viable option, and it is more done after something like an empty jump after a lot of blocked pressure.

Dark Force

The Killing Time - Same strength P + K

All versions are the same. All of Bulleta's punches will be replaced with an instant missile that corresponds to the strength pushed, but you will keep all your kicks. That means you can dash into missiles, do multiple missiles at once, etc. Jumping and pressing will do the [2]8 Missile, pressing any P will be a high Missile, and crouching with any P will be a low Missile. Since you keep your kicks, this can be used regularly to move in with 66LK and pressure with lots of missiles, but it sees more use as a panic/runaway tool to get the initial Dark Force invincibility on startup and then dash away repeatedly while firing missiles.

Movement

Bulleta's Forward Dash

Walk: The only reason you should ever be walking as Bulleta is perhaps when you are moving backwards or need to walk a very short distance to follow up Tricky Basket with a throw. Walk as little as possible!

Dash: This is how you should be moving on the ground. Watching any Bulleta player, you'll notice how often dashing is required. The startup of the dash covers a large distance very quickly, allowing it to be 'cancelled' with any normal. If you only need to move a short distance, simply tap LP or press back out of your dash. Learn the properties of the dash, and get familiar with your movement with it alone or cancelled by a normal/back, and understand when you are open off the dash to do things like normal throw.

Double Jump: Bulleta is the only character in the game with a double jump! This gives her very good standing in any aerial situation, and also allows you to avoid many things on the ground. Use double jump where applicable to get in your opponent or dodge, but the most important thing about Bulleta's jump is to know when to chicken guard and when to air chain. This concept tends to come very naturally as you play and train.
