Introduction

Sasquatch (サスカッチ), the Abominal Snowman

The most noble warrior of the Bigfoot tribe, residing in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Upon sensing the energy of the invading Pyron, Sasquatch journeyed to uncover the source of this power. After coming home to his village, he discovers that his peers had vanished. In the center of the village, Sasquatch found a cavernous hole. Believing that his fellow villagers had been trapped inside, he jumped inside to rescue them. Ultimately, Sasquatch found that his kinsmen had willingly entered the hole, because Jedah had tricked them with bananas.

Sasquatch is a simple to use & not too difficult to master character. Sasquatch is a top-tier contender recommended for anyone who is first learning the game & also to players who enjoy winning

Gameplay

Primary Objectives:

• Abuse your amazing normals to approach
• Confirm air-hits into high/low offense
• Abuse 5MP to maintain your advantage
• Steamroll your opponent with a combination of short hop high/lows & long dash pressure
• When you make a read on their defensive technique, use Big Brunch for massive damage

Strengths

Weaknesses

High health Huge damage on chain combos Doesn't require meter to be effective Dashing pressure pushes through Tech-Hits Has the best strike/throw option in the game as his throw leads to a full combo Extremely fast high/low options with short hop offense 5MP is a catch-all move for setting up offense with realistic confirms on hit/block 66MK & 66LK are far disjointed, making them an effective approach tool Dark Force is an effective defensive/escape tool Great normal throw range, can normal throw people outside of their throw range Dashing offense is extremely difficult to mitigate with defensive tech. Only occurs at high-level play Low execution barrier, making him the best go-to character for input/output & risk/reward in the roster His neutral game opens up with meter utilizing ES Towers & ES Typhoon 9MP is an incredible air-to-ground attack + an option select air throw

Slower than average wake-up, he is more vulnerable to ground chasing/oki Slow walk speed Approaches are limited, so he is more vulnerable to being zoned Wide when standing & crouching, vulnerable to cross-ups No invincibility on Reversal, more susceptible to being oppressed

Fairly standard st.LP. As with all standing light punches, you receive a renda bonus if you press the button twice. Good for stopping characters with hops, parabolic dashes, or instant air dashes if they are close. Abusing the renda bonus is necessary to give Anakaris a bad time, as the advantage on-block will be enough to go straight into long hop j.LP. In additon, the renda bonus is strong enough to go straight into 623KK.

Talk to the hand. Extremely good poke. If you don't know what to press as Sasquatch, this should probably be the button to press. It's almost as fast as most jabs in the games (most are 5f), but has a staggering amount of priority. Just like st.LP, you can use this to stop hops, parabolic dashes, or instant air dashes if they are close. The reward for doing so is much better, however.

Pretty good uppercut. This serves as your anti-air normal, but admittedly there won't be many usage of it as a proper anti-air as there are just generally more safe options. This button on-hit will always air reset the opponent, which will lead into one of Sasquatch's mixups afterwards.

Along with st.MP, this is one of your two option select buttons for anti-air. The angle of it is so great that it will catch MOST upbacks in the corner. This button will not catch Felicia in the corner, however; use st.HK instead.

High-hitting light kick. This move can be used as anti-hop, and if anything, is better than st.LP in that regard. The difference between st.LP and st.LK however is that this will not benefit from the renda bonus. Use this to tell pesky animals to sit down before hitting them with another mixup.

For the most part, this serves the same purpose as st.MP in terms of anti-air, but overall inferior to st.MP in raw frame data. This isn't to say that this is a terrible move, as it does cover a higher angle than st.MP. As such, this is better for intercepting higher parabolic dashes or air dashes. Situational at most.

The anti-air hitbox is active on the 12th frame.

This move has a couple interesting properties. On the 8th frame it will go over lows, and even though Sasquatch is in the air, he is still considered grounded which means opponents cannot air block the anti-air.

This his lower body invulnerability, so you can cause some low attacks to whiff.

This move can be used as a means to anti-air air dashes, especially Q-Bee's, but it's not really a great move to mash unlike st.MP. Just like cr.LP, it's not a low; use cr.MK for a low instead. Can be used for staggers and frame traps.

This move is definitively an anti-air, and if anything, slightly better than st.HP in the regard. If the opponent jumps bad, you can use this to swat them out of the sky and air reset them, leading to a 50/50 that the opponent obviously doesn't want.

Has utility in the corner for combos. You can use this as an ender instead of cr.HK to air reset them and lead into a quick and dirty mixup.

An amazing crouching low. Use this normal a lot, as it is the low you should be using at most given times. This move also has the benefit of moving Sasquatch slightly forward as he uses this, and has great plus frames. Good for staggering and keeping close to the opponent.

Two-hit normal. This move is great for sticking to the opponent, but is arguably guard-cancel bait and easy to pushblock. This move can be used to crossup opponents from a short hop and long hop if timed correctly. This move will usually crossup most short crouchers from a short hop, so abuse it when you can.

One of Sasquatch's two useful versions of this move. Its useful as an anti-air, though it is air blockable. Most character's won't be able to punish it on block unless they have a way of altering their air movement, and even then it can tend to be a bit of a tight punish. Still, it hits a nice part on the screen, comes out fast, and recovers surprisingly quickly. Useful in certain situations and matchups.

Not much to say about this version. It is plus on hit unlike his other two Typhoons, which may actually be punished.

(I'm not sure if the game will select the weaker or stronger version of a special if you don't have meter for ES, but I am considering using LK+MK or MK+HK on the basis on which button combination will give you MK Typhoon if you have no meter. With the idea that the game will select the version that gives you a decent frame advantage if you do not have meter for ES Big Typhoon. This is only if you somehow have issues paying attention to how much meter you currently have.)

The most useful version of Big Typhoon. Does massive damage and is great as a finishing move. While you are advantageous on hit, recovery is long, and you have a very good chance of losing pressure after knocking down with this move. Its generally best used when finishing an opponent off.

While it looks like it may have a decent anti-air hitbox, do not use it as such since it is still air blockable and the recovery is long.

As a guard cancel this move has 9 frames of invincibility, which makes it invincible past start up. This means will not lose or trade unlike the other two normal version guard cancels. Also, it is the safest version on block at -6, which is potentially punishable but not quite easily. Besides those advantages, the problems are numerous. You'll still be at -5 on hit afterwards, which is potentially punishable. You'll have to watch out for this completely whiffing on small crouching opponents due to the high hitbox. And even as the fastest version of Big Typhoon, it is still slow for a guard cancel and easily baited. In the end, the guard cancel LK Big Typhoon has a little bit of use, but you may as well push block instead.

This is his best guard cancel of all version of big typhoon by far, as it starts up second fastest, fully invincible and completely safe on hit. It even does semi-decent damage on hit for a guard cancel. If baited though, it is by far the easiest to punish so watch out what move you cancel from into this.

The anti-air hitboxes are great, and its active for ages. The only real downside is they are air blockable, and probably only a little bit more easily punishable on an air block than ES Big Towers.

Its use as an anti-air is a bit matchup dependant. Generally it is extremely strong against Jedah, Morrigan, and a few other characters who have to end up committing to their air movement. Tossing out the super active HK Big Towers means you don't even really have to time it either. I've seen it work consistently on Demitri as well since none of his normals can get below the hitbox down to the hurtbox.

The plus and block frames on hit and guard listed up above don't really tell the full story, since that is on grounded opponents, and this does not have much utility outside of anti-airs.

On an air hit, this move does a knockdown.

This is the move. Usually referred to as 'Ice Tower', it is one of the most frustrating things to deal with when fighting Sasquatch. It is multi-functional, since it works as: An anti-air(but still air blockable), a full screen punish, and a combo tool. Hell, I even just mash it as a reversal sometimes when I see my opponents timing is slightly off.

It travels full screen extremely fast, both in front of and behind Sasquatch. This can be used to punish people throwing bad fireballs, or just jumping around pressing buttons at any position on the screen.

Advantage from a knockdown on hit is huge. You get plenty of time to dash in from full screen and start applying pressure. Plus it does tons of damage to boot. This is not something you want to be hit by.

As a combo tool, I've seen it used occasionally to get a knockdown after a Big Brunch, but when they don't want to deal with the poor advantage on knockdown that ES Big Typhoon gives. Though this is at a price of less damage.

An absolutely amazing command grab. When it connects, the opponent will be frozen and Sasquatch can hop in to get a free combo. This move is incredibly fast, and easily lets you confirm into an ES Big Typhoon for big damage. The only downside is that it is one of the few throws that always gives a whiff animation. The whiff animation is long enough that if someone neutral jumps they will have time to land on Sasquatch's head and punish.

There is not any difference between the normal versions, and the ES Big Brunch does slightly more damage and freezes the opponent for longer.

The main thing to keep in mind with this move is every character has a different freeze timing, and distance Sasquatch spits them out at. It is not at all consistent between characters.

Good range, though not much reason to ever use this over Big Brunch, especially since this has a whiff animation as well.

Ice Beam. Generally ES Big Towers is favored over this by most players as it initially comes out much faster and is generally safer against opponents jumping in on you randomly. At full screen, I'm not quite sure which would reach the other end first, but I am inclined to say ES Big Towers would or it would be about even as Big Freezer doesn't travel quite as fast as it may seem.

There are a few characters I'll occasionally use this on from full screen, such as Lei-Lei, Demitri, Morrigan or Jedah. Usually its just if they are jumping around doing dumb stuff. This move does slightly more damage than ES Big Towers, but its hard to say if you get any REAL benefit out of using it.

Not sure of the comparative advantage on hit you get from this fullscreen compared to ES Big Towers either.

The Puddle. Unblockable, super-active, character-detached ground grab. A strong move, especially in the corner and the opponent is up-backing just outside of your anti-air range. They'll land on the ice sheet and be unable to escape. You can also set it up with a s.MP canceled into this. There isn't much of a gap to poke out, especially if you canceled from a s.MP that air resets. Setups from s.MP aren't exactly solid though, as in all cases if they notice it, they can simple hold up forward and punish Sasquatch. On defense, make sure you don't try up backing away from it in the corner. You'll just fall back on top of it as you land due to how super-active the move is.

EX Command throw. If Sasquatch didn't have Big Brunch, this would actually be a strong move. It does a ton of damage and has a great throw range. But when you can do comparable damage or more with Big Brunch and gain meter from the follow up hits, you really don't have a good reason to be using this. On a miss, it always gives a throw whiff animation, like the rest of his command throws.

Easter Egg EX Move. Hits low. Causes knockdown on hit. Even though this is projectile that sits on the screen for a good 3 seconds it isn't very good. It costs a meter, has an extremely long start up time, and does almost no damage. Its just not really worth it.

Dark Force

Super Armor: Big Resistor / M.A.P.S. - Same strength P + K

• Big Resistor (Light or Medium Version/LP+LK or MP+MK: Super Armor: Big Resistor. Adds super armor (not hyper armor). Useful for getting out of traps. A decent option to use when being pressured, but only works on the ground. It also allows you to chain more attacks when dashing.

• M.A.P.S. (Heavy Version/HP+HK): Magical Avalanche Penguin Super-units. Summons an army of penguins to throw at your opponent. Toss penguins by hitting any punch. Penguins chip on block, and the distance depends on the strength of the punch button. Can be used on the ground and in the air

Movement

Walk: The forward walk speed is fairly average, but his backwards walk is a little slower.

Dash: Sasquatch takes a big leap at his opponent. Very easy to hit him out of a regular dash, but Sasquatch also has a shorthop. (Forward, Forward, Back). It shortens the total distance of the hop, but increases the speed greatly. A good portion of where his pressure game comes from.
