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

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. Her ground dash out classes her walk is so many ways

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 or crouch or back input. If you only need to move a short distance, simply tap LP or press back out of your dash.

Double Jump: Bulleta is the only character in the game with a double jump! This gives her very good air positioning & run away, and also allows you to avoid many things on the ground. Use double jump where applicable to get in your opponent or stay evasive, but the most important thing about Bulleta's jump is to know when to chicken guard and when to air chain.

Normal Moves

Standing Normals

5LP

5 LP

5LP

Hitboxes Off

Crucial normal. Whiffs on all crouchers except Victor & Bishamon. Amazing frame advantage on hit or block, unlocking extended ground combos on standing opponents. This is also the go-to grounded UB normal. You can use dashing LP to stop Ireppa as a low committal solution, because it recovers so quickly.

5 MP

5MP

Hitboxes Off

Hitboxes On

Crucial normal that hits all crouchers. Used as a pressure extender, combo starter, and conditions your opponent to hold down+back for you to land a command throw. Has two input overlaps you must avoid: the proximity normal 5MP and the dash normal 66MP. To get this at close range, it must be input as 66~5MP, since Bulleta cannot use proximity normals while dashing. On a close 66~5MP hit, there is a small window to link into 5LP, 2LP, or 2LK & continue a combo.

Terrible move that you will get on accident while trying to pushblock. Throw with 6MP so you don't leak this normal, and avoid starting your pushblock on this button if possible. Has a niche use to create pushblock traps when cancelled into 5HK or 3HK.

Situational anti-air, but still easily Bulleta's best grounded antiair outside of pushblock. Use your dash to space yourself appropriately for the antiair to work. Can be used aggressively out of a dash to catch jumps, like dash MP but it hits a little higher. Be ready to capitalize on the air reset afterwards.

Crucial normal, great low hitting poke and combo tool. This button is one of Bulleta's best disjointed hitboxes. It is also a go-to conditioning tool to catch pushblock or mashers. 2MP to 214P is the easiest way to combo a knockdown, and her most common combo ender. Bulleta will often link into this from 66~5LP, renda 2LK, renda 2LP, or any jump-in.

Crucial normal. Tied with 2LP and 5LP for Bulleta's fastest button, hitting on frame 5. Can be renda cancelled into itself (2LK 2LK, quickly) or linked into itself (2LK 2LK, slowly), but the link into itself is not a useful combo tool. It has multiple combo options, but the easiest conversion is renda 2LK into 2MP 214P. A more optimal conversion is linking into 2LP, which gives you time to confirm a standing-only 5LP combo. If they're crouching, you can instead finish by renda 2LP into 2MP 214P.

Used as an unblockable low after your opponent stand-blocks a deep J.HK. Good button to begin your crouching pushblock input with.

Crucial normal, a phenomenal instant-overhead that works on every character except QB. Against the rest of the short crouchers (MO, LI, BU), the IOH requires that jMP be performed on the first frame possible after jump, which is inconsistent due to frameskip. Amazing jump-in tool that enables 50/50s with a J.MK or a J.HK UB 2LK route. This move is so fast with great disjoint + reach that it is her go-to solution after a chicken block.

Crucial normal. The only good version of HP, used frequently in Bulleta's air chains. It is also reliable as an air chain that drags the opponent down to setup a grounded UB. Aim to descend with 9J.HP at max range then once you land you can go low or IOH or dash in for more advantage. Has almost no hitstop, so you need to get used to inputting your ground followup very quickly. Extremely advantageous on deep hit (+15 at best), which can be used to set up character-specific re-jump combos.

Crucial move. It builds your meter, stops rushdown, and keeps you safe. Like any fireball, you want to use certain versions in certain situations. Missiles stay active when Bulleta is hit so trades are always in her favor. 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 or Lei-Lei reflected it.

(ES Version): The move stays out much longer and moves up and down. Use this in the same scenarios as the LP version, where you can spend meter to increase the damage. Lastly, there is great Cheap Kill potential with this move if the opponent air block it.

It is an effective combo ender tool because it knocks down. If you hold the punch button she will keep spinning the basket and it will charge up. 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.

An effective command throw that is core to the offense RPS of VSAV. If you expect people to be 1-hit teching your attacks, just dash and ES throw them. This adds a 3rd layer of offense to Bulleta's onslaught.

Crucial move, the ES version is an excellent way to spend meter. This can be done directly out of dash without losing her low profile state, allowing you to dash under moves like Bee 5MP. The regular version must be input with MP or HP, but you should prefer MP to avoid HP leaks. The ES version can be input with any two punches, LP+MP is preferred. When this move is input normally (full half circle 63214), it has an input overlap with 214P, which will come out if the opponent is not in range for the grab. This is a dreadful leak, and the only way to fix it is by omitting the 1 in the half circle input. The input 6324LP+MP is an extremely useful option select that will either give ES throw or 5LP, one of Bulleta's safest buttons to whiff. For this OS, it's important to know that you can do the 632 input while dashing without breaking your dash: think of it as 6632, then 4+LP+MP.

This throw, as a reversal, will beat meaties (if in range). This can be input as (hold P), 6324 (release P). You can also do 63241 before releasing P to block low. Avoid 63214 so you don't wake up with reversal 214P.

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. Bulleta maintains an offensive advantage after a pursuit. It's not a super strong mix, but you can keep the offense go-go-going. Aim to close as much distance as possible before inputting the pursuit to maximize your post pursuit Okizeme opportunity.

Bulleta's go-to reversal tool. It does not full connect when the opponent is in an air-state. Bulleta is invincible until the first frame she is active, due to this it does often trade. The trade is in Bulleta's favor as you can link a combo here. The move is highly punishable on block.

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 an escape tool. Try to cover your deactivation with a missile by inputting back dash LP then deactivate. It is important to deactivate as soon as you are safe. Bulleta's DF loses to access to her Punch attacks which puts her at a disadvantage in neutral. Note that while in DF Bulleta can combo out of kicks into crouching P missiles to get that knockdown allowing a safe deactivate.
