Bridget Dash Splitting FAQ

Bridget dash splitting 101

What is it?

How do I do it?

Why?

Practicalities:

Combos:

Practice:

Examples:

What is it?

Dash Splitting is named for the concept of “splitting” a dash’s input (forward forward) with a break of (back + FD) between the forward’s and still having the ability to dash.

How do I do it?

1player side:

2146+[K],4+,6

DS = 2146+[K],4+,6

Why?

To perform an IAD combo w/ Bridget, there is 3 frames start-up to every jump. If you were to pause the game, these 3 frames are the exact same as the start-up for crouching as well.

What I am saying is f.S~6S~IAD~j.P takes 3 frames to leave the ground and thus doesn’t leave the opponent in enough hit stun to connect the j.P w/ beat.

When you initiate a rolling idou (214+K) .From frame 2 on, you can cancel into any action other than blocking, air dashing and double jumping. This means at frames 2 you can FD, woot. Which I am sure everyone knows. That’s why you get your 3rd and 4th jump w/ Bridget, it just carries over the initial vertical vector from the roll when you FD. By FD’ing at frame 2 you leave the “rolling state” and then are left just aerial. Because you are simply aerial you can then double jump, dash, and block.

Note: We can then Air Dash at the same height as the IAD, we just simply left the ground faster.

What I am saying is f.s~6S~2146+[K],4+, 6~j.P takes away the 3 frames of jump start-up to leave the ground and thus leaves the opponent in enough hit stun from your 6S to connect a j.P w/ beat.

Practicalities:

No, lol. I have only ever seen this in 4 match video’s. This is completely unnecessary to win and 100% combo video worthy. I have dropped combo’s hardcore when attempting to use this in an actual fight. But , ironically, in jp land. If you dash split w/ beat your vid will still be posted up b/c it’s still awesome input/spacing skills. Lesson, if you really want a tourney vid of yourself up just dash split and win or lose your vid’ll go up =P

Combos:

Note: This combo only works on tall characters.

The only one I can recreate in training is my example above

6S~DS~j.P

These work as well

1) c.S(1)~DS~j.P~j.S~j.2S~c.S(1) loop

2) f.s~DS~j.P

Practice:

Isolating the Dash Split

To practice lest just do a dash split from the ground.

Only input this

6[K]~4~( ]K[ + ]S[ ) ~ 6

6K buffer K ~ 4S buffer S ~ release both simultaneously ~ 6

Bridget should FD then activate her FULL RUN w/ no start up, pretty cool a.

Once you get this down you are 80% there. The mental block is pretty easy to get over once your here b/c once you can do this all that's left is a half circle back and a j.P

Grouping

For terminology sake 6[K]~4~( ]K[ + ]S[ ) ~ 6 is the actual Dash Splitting.

The grouping we've found to work best is this

63214~N~Dash Split~N~ j.P

empty half circle back as a pre buffer, during your c.S

The practiced Dash Split(full run from FD)

J.p later in the air dash

Examples:

2:22 and 2:43

Yop everybody, i am now a player of GG for about 2 years, and after enjoying all those years the potchom buster, i've thought "Holy shit, why am I playing potemkin ? Bridget rocks ! ! ! I should learn how to play with !!!" Sooooo ... I've searched, learn how to abuse of the far 5S and this fµ*$£ 2P, and I noticed that ... The wake up game with Bridget should have it's own topic, cause it's one of the best of the game, and offers many possibilities ! For the moment, i'm just doing crappy things, like : Knock down, HS_S6, 236HS or 214 HS Knockdown, HS_S8, 421HS, 2K 6K And then comboooooooos But I actually am sure there's much better okizeme whith this character (How to f*** a sol Dragon punch ?), so, let this thread live :D PS : I'll introduce myself another day >.<

Basic Strategy and Gameplan

Normals

What sets Bridget apart from the rest of the cast is, without a question, a set of some of the highest-priority normal pokes in the game. While this does not make Bridget a keepaway character exclusively by any means, it is a solid gameplan in most of the matchups to bide your time at the edge of Bridget's range -- meaning, typically, far outside the opponent's range -- and wait for mistakes.

With this in mind I want to talk about the normals that I feel are most important:

Far 5S f.s

Bridget's equivalent to Axl's standing punch. One of the most aggravating pokes in the game. Can cancel into yo-yo set, 2S or 236K (and a few less important cancels). When you're first starting Bridget, make this your go-to poke.

This, however, is the true god-poke. Loses to more moves than far 5S on a one to one basis and has less range, but is exactly as fast to execute, very safe on whiff and at a ridiculous +3 frame advantage on guard. Also has the same three important cancels -- yo-yo set, 2S, 236K -- as well as 2P, 2K and 2D. After the opponent has blocked this move they cannot interrupt 5K, far 5S or 2D.

Very low priority -- by Bridget's standards at least -- but has excellent flowcharts on block as it can be cancelled into a whiffed 2K, 236K, a yo-yo set or a jump and it can follow after a far 5S or 2P. Careful not to use on its own too often.

No kidding. Some players expect Bridget to base his game around far 5S flowcharts and are willing to take a few risks to get close. One character-length inside its maximum range, 2D is exactly as fast as far 5S and 2P. While disadvantageous on block, it can be cancelled into 236K if you are desperate -- but, more importantly, has enough pushback that most characters cannot make use of your disadvantage. If this hits, go hog wild. Look at 2D as your way to keep people honest.

j.P

Use immediately as you ascend for a jump. This will beat many problematic moves in unexpected situations -- examples are Testament's 6H at its maximum range when Bridget is jumping forward, Slayer's 6H from most ranges when Bridget is high jumping backwards or straight up, etc. Very important in annoying roll FDC runaway.

j.S

Extremely long horizontal range. Can be used to cover an air backdash quite safely, as even if it gets counterhit (which is rare) you will typically be too far away for the opponent to capitalize.

I would advise newer players to stay away from overusing 6S at random and to refrain from ever using 6P in blocked strings.

The Basic Blocked Flowcharts

A long time ago, American Bridget players pretty much all looked like this:

[dash, far 5S, set the yo-yo, dash, far 5S, call the yo-yo back] x N

Bridget has many more options when the yo-yo has been set and especially when the opponent is caught between Bridget and the yo-yo. The most obvious time this situation presents itself is on the opponent's wakeup; throw the yo-yo behind them and you're golden. Learning how to make it happen when the opponent hesitates makes Bridget's simple basic poking a serious threat and can cause people who are not familiar with the matchup to really fall apart.

Optimal strings are dependent on the matchup. What you need to keep in mind is any time you set the yo-yo out, you are handing the opponent a big fat chunk of frame advantage. If they are expecting it, there is usually something they can do to turn the momentum around; some characters always have an answer at hand from all ranges and others simply need to be pushed to the optimal distance.

This all got much trickier in Slash. The forward yo-yo set was slowed down by five frames between #R and Slash. Cancelling level 3 moves into the yo-yo set 5 or 6 was -8 in #R; in Slash, many characters can hit you for free if they know it is coming especially if their in your group you casual with, yo-yo set 5 and 6 pressure works a lot better against characters in a tourney especaiily some with less Defensive Bridget experience. It now lasts as long as many of the game's slowest standing dusts, making it fairly trivial for smart opponents to react to the yo-yo set and escape your pressure. The 4 and 7 yo-yo sets are the same speed as they were in #R, and are in general much more useful in this sort of situation, but not quite the immediate threat that the #R forward yo-yo set was.

With that novel out of the way the blocked flowcharts are actually pretty straightforward; we'll use Ky as an example. If the opponent attempts to take the momentum with Stun Edge after a blocked far 5S, you can anticipate and 236K, then P at the maximum distance of the skid-stop followup. If the opponent expects this, he may try to Greed Sever over the KSMH for the counterhit. To deal with that, you can either set the yo-yo and block or gatling into 2S, either stuffing his attempt or putting him into blockstun. Always remember that 2S gatlings into 2K; this can set up a lot of counterhit far 5S if the opponent flinches on reaction to the animation, and is more advantageous than simply allowing the 2S to finish on its own.

Miscellanies

j.D will get you killed if you don't know how to use it.

The ideal way is 214K, then j.D as soon as possible. Have fun accidentally bursting! This makes the move much more difficult to block, but more importantly it's completely safe on block. You can use this to waste time while you're waiting for the 4set to catch up to you, or as a throw bait, or as an overhead.

Under normal circumstances, 5D is almost prohibitively unsafe. It's a whopping -19 on block, and many players are able to consistently block it on reaction. With the yo-yo behind the opponent, the story is a little different. 5D can be buffered into 214K, and the post-dust homing jump can be executed with any of the three upward directions. There is an option-select trick you can do off of this by buffering the 5D into 2147K. If the dust was blocked, you will cancel into the roll; otherwise, you will do the homing jump as normal, without using a roll.

This sounds so stupid, but running Starship FRC as okizeme is a deceptive throw bait. Starship has an extremely long and completely invincible startup time of thirteen frames; this gives an antsy opponent enough rope with which to hang themselves, so to speak. In the event that you guessed wrong and they blocked, just FRC it.

Rolling Idou FDC effectively allows Bridget to quadruple-jump when the yo-yo is out. If you are not actively poking at the opponent, you can try wasting time with this. The input is 214(K)~S. Careful to be precise with your inputs; if you accidentally tap 7, you will use up your double jump/airdash option and probably not even notice it.

Possibly to make up for all the ways he can sneak in a tick throw, Bridget has possibly the worst throw in the game when the yo-yo is not onscreen. The damage is very low and it leaves you in the opponent's throw range. Throwing is still an important part of your mixups, but be very careful that what you're doing after the throw is safe. I personally simply walk backwards outside of throw range and go for pressure; a somewhat common mixup after a throw from Japanese videos is either throw bait (usually Starship FRC) or yo-yo set into blocked pressure, but it seems to get dealt with on reaction fairly consistently.

B&B combos

2K 2P 2P 2P 2D

Don't laugh. This combo will knock down at a decent distance for oki and serves as a long, grueling burst bait. You need to land this just once to get a chance at something much more damaging. The 2D can be hit by bursts, but not on reaction to the hit.

2K>c.s(1) >6P> c.s(1)xx 236K~P

More damaging ground combo that knocks down, but is more of a commitment on block and especially on FD and is very burst-unsafe. Good follow-up to a yo-yo return or Roger Rush that connects on standing opponents.

2K 5S©(1) 6P 5S©(2) 236K, P

Connects only on crouching opponents.

The following combos are typically for maximizing damage at the end of a string, and are less common as level 3 moves into yo-yo return require much stricter yo-yo placement than #R:

With the yo-yo behind a standing opponent, 5S(f), yo-yo return, IAD j.P j.P j.P j.2S, land 5P 2D

There are several variations of the airdash string -- against most of the taller characters, I prefer IAD j.K j.S j.P j.K.

With the yo-yo behind a crouching opponent, 5S(f), 236K (whiff) P

Useful for cornering the opponent.

Deep j.D, 6S, jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

2D, FRC, 5K, 6S, jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

2D, 236K, RC, 6S, jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

Against airdash, 6P 6S jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

Against other jumping attacks, 6P (CH), wait, 6S, jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

623P, FRC, 6S, jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

623P, FRC, jump forward j.P j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

Blocked blue burst, Running 5K, 6S, jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

Mixups and Okizeme

Delayed Yo-Yo Return

Very simple 50/50 mixup. With the yo-yo behind the opponent, press and hold H. You now have two easy options:

6K, release H, dash, 5S©(1) 6P 5S©(2) 236K, P

2D, release H, optional short dash, 6S, jump forward j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S

The followup combo listed for the 6K variant is the most damaging tensionless combo. Any ground combo will work; you can choose to simply use burst-bait strings.

Roger Rush high/low mixup

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

The most useful mixup off of this is in the corner:

236H, running jump, low airdash j.K j.P j.2S land 5P 2D

236H, running jump, land, 2K ground combo or 2D FRC combo

While some of the old midscreen mixups involving this move are technically still possible, they are so subpar that I really don't feel like covering them here. There are almost always superior options. Roger Rush is a good option on okizeme off of 236K, P, but mostly for the blockstun and guard gauge manipulation.

2D Okizeme

On the opponent's wakeup, you generally have enough time to set the yo-yo back, dash in and do a gatling combo long enough that the yo-yo finishes sliding behind the opponent.

The easiest option is 2K and then both hits of close 5S, like this:

2K 2P 5P 2P 2D, dash, 4set, dash, 2K, 5S©(2)

By the time the close 5S has completed, the yo-yo should be at its destination. From there you can follow with a blocked string, a roll, whatever.

Your dirty little secret here: This is actually rarely a truly perfect meaty. The opponent will often have just enough time to backdash easily or one-frame jump. The best workaround is to try to work out a few strings that punish them if they want to get antsy and use those to set up the more optimal okizeme. A basic example:

2K 2P 5P 2P 2D, dash, forward set, 2S, yo-yo return

In somewhat deep, this will snag most attempted backdashes out of the air and set up a running j.S j.2S double jump j.S j.2S. If your reflexes are very fast you can attempt to hold the hardslash button if they guard the 2S but release if you catch their backdash.

In general Bridget has less in the way of straightforward, easy mixups off of a knockdown compared to #R, but is just as capable of short bursts of lockdown.

- learn how to FD 214K (rolling shennagins) consistently. Bridget's best asset (imo) is his mobility...its what sets him apart from everyone else in the entire game (save maybe chipp, but id say that Bridget has better mobility then him too).

- Learn FRC points. Every single one of them has some use to it, especially 2D FRC and Starship FRC...go figure that those 2 FRC points are also the hardest to execute because the timing changes based on whether you hit from afar/late, hit close up/early,or whiff it.

-Learn BnB's. Bridget's damage sucks compared to the rest of the cast, period. he does have some huge hitting combo's (like 2-4 maybe)...but the chances of landing those specific combo's are rare (if you learn the glitch, the opportunity increases alot, but you could also put yourself at a bigger risk in exchange). With this in mind, its imperative that you always land (at least) the basic combo's. Later on, you'll understand that being more creative = better combo's, better damage....just better results overall, but you'll cross that bridge when you get there

-Get in the habit of holding down HS after you set a yo yo. With the right positioning, this has the possibility of creating a nice little guessing game for your opponent....as time progresses, this setup is gonna require alot more creativity on your part because the threat behind it is going to diminish against more experienced players. Once you get that down, learn how to roll with the yo yo still buffered (input = 2145K or 2146K)....time pending, learn the glitch, then learn how to roger call out of it (or super out of it for flashy points).

Misc. Stuff:
- dont spam Starship (623P). Starship =/= a legit dragon punch
- dont spam pokes
- learn when to do 6S, when to do 6P, and when to just block
- learn to cancel your pokes with rolls (214k)
- learn to 1f jump
- learn to not spam 6P...its good...but its not great, and alot of things in the game just beat it out.
- WATCH VIDEOS....and when you watch them, watch most/all of them. There are some good bridget players....and then there are some bad ones.....regardless, u can still learn something from watching it, whether its a new combo, some setup you didnt think about before, matchups, etc.

And last...dont get frustrated if you lose alot. Bridget is easy on paper...thats it. To get really good with him, you just have to muster thru the bs that loses to other character's stuff and not get mad at the fact that u die in ~2 mistakes, but cant kill someone unless they make 3-6 mistakes....it sucks...alot...but if u can put that behind you, your already on the road to being a better player.

If someone isnt addressed, or there's a question about something i said here, or something else that comes up later, dont hesitate to ask (whether here...or maybe in the Q and A thread might be a better spot). Perhaps someone else will also give u their insight or adjust something i said as well.

Good Luck!

Accent Core "Come back" Glitch

Got it!

Toss yoyo. Press HS to hold it and let Bridget finish his little curtsey animation. Release HS for at least 1 and at most 3 frames, and press it again. I say at most 3 because it feels like a kara-cancel if you do it right - it might be actually 1 frame. (It's easier to do this if you let go with one finger and press it again with a different finger, and the post says something like that.) If you do this, it will return a small bit and hold again - this resets the hold time. You can repeat the release/press as many times as you want until it comes all the way back or (more likely) you screw up your timing.

To cancel the return into a Roger move, you do the motion for the move and end with release/press...so like 623+release H/press H. You CAN'T cancel the return at any arbitrary point, you can only do it this way. What ends up happening is the yoyo returns to Bridget as he does the startup for the special, then he turns it into Roger on the way back.
For the life of me I couldn't get it with the super. I also can't imagine getting this in any sort of useful way in a match, but I suppose people did the 1-frame Rensen FRC well enough...

It seems like a bug given the flames around the Roger moves. I think what you do is report to the yoyo to come back (release) but then press the button again while Bridget still thinks the yoyo is held. He does the Hold animation again each time you do it.

Now I can sleep!

Bridget Fuzzy in AC

Sun, 03 Jun 2012 17:49:39 +0000

I had free time. Let's hope it's still in ACR.

The problem where Roger goes too far away @3:37 should be fixed in ACR since Roger now goes towards the opponent (for now.... since it's still in location testing phase).

Read the changes wrong for ACR. Actually EX Jagged now goes towards opponent. Not Roger Rush.

Unblockables and set-ups

From KSMH~P to corner knockdown

1) j.D technique: (20 damage)

Gatlin into c.S(2)~KSMH~P, HSS_7, Roger Get, (Frc is not necessary but helpful), j.D(Unblockable) on their wake-up.

2) 6+ K technique: (54 damage)

Gatlin into c.S(2)~KSMH~P, HSS_7, Roger Get, (No Frc), 5K (on their wake-up) ~6K(Unblockable), air throw the tech.

3) 5D technique: (20 damage)

Gatlin into c.S(2)~KSMH~P, HSS_7, Roger Get, (No Frc), 5D on their wake-up.

4)j.2S technique: (145 damage)

Gatlin into c.S(2)~KSMH~P, HSS_7, Roger Get, (Frc is not necessary but helpful), 8 wait, falling j.2S(Unblockable), land 5K~6S~9+j.S~j.2S~9+j.S~j.2S~HS__

Comments on j.2S :

A)The trick is to let the first hit of RogerGet hit them on their wake-up.

B)This set-up doubles for an incredible DP and Super bait.

C)FRC, j.P whiff fall j.2S works very well. All the activity makes the opponent guard more often than not FRCing etc.

5)air throw technique: (59 damage)

Gatlin into 6S~9+j.S~j.2S~9+j.S~j.2S~HSS_7~roll~air throw, land, RogerGet~66~9+j.D

Comment on air-throw technique:

A) I always do this as it is the most useful way to return your yo-yo when it's way the hell up top the screen.

B)I usually air-throw the tech again because you can't combo off this set-up.

6) MAMKM technique: (145 damage) (Credit goes to Nekoran's "Happy Ending ")

MAMKM connects, (as soon as it ends) 8~j.HSS_7~RogerGet, neutral, falling j.2S(Unblockable), 5K~6S~9+j.S~j.2S~9+j.S~j.2S~HS__

Comments on the MAMKM technique:

A)This works mid-screen as well.

B)I love this idea for a follow-up to MAMKM. The damage is so not worth it to do a B&B on hit to give up that knockdown. PS If I have hit MAMKM early enough I am known to sneak in a 6K, the earlier you do it the more decent the damage becomes.

C)I apologize for being unclear with this set-up but the timing is very subjective to when they were hit with MAMKM.

7) KSMH~K technique: (137 damage)

Gatlin into c.S(2)~KSMH~K~RC~j.HSS_7~RogerGet, j.P~j.K(Unblockable),land 2S~6S~9+j.S~j.2S~9+j.S~j.2S~HS__

Comments on 6S technique:

A) The HSS_6 is almost at the apex of your jump.

B) The trick is to let the first hit of RogerGet hit them on their wake-up.

Gatlin into c.S(1)~JIKSMH~K~RC, j.HSS~7, RogerGet, AD, j.D, land 6S~9+j.S~j.2S~9+j.S~j.2S~HS__

Comments on the KSMH~K technique:

A) JIKSMH~K is a jump installed KSMH~K performed by 2369+K.

B) This set-up is alot easier to follow up with B&B if you do not AD back over them, but AD later on the same side you end up on. I prefer the dash back cross-up j.D though =]

C) After some experimenting I've found that this is a solid Unblockable. I initally stated it wasn't worth the tension spent but after further examination, I am now hitting this after a midscreen RogerRush(3)~66~c.S(1)~6P~c.S(1)~JIKSMH~K. And after midscreen RogerRush, 6K 50/50. This is a nice guaranteed set-up and tenison spent after this combo. Especially as the damage isn't worth giving up knockdown for a 2D~FRC~B&B after the second c.S(1). This is a perfect mid-screen ender if you have tension available.This set-up is two free knockdowns on A.B.A. and the second knockdown is plenty of times to IK her. I'd recommend only doing the knockdown and not B&B A.B.A. but just going for the second knockdown to IK.

7) DAA technique (137 Damage) (Credit goes to Ruu's "Sunrise")

You can Gatlin into c.S(2) or a c.S(1) if you do c.S(1)~6P~c.S(1)~KSMH~P.

The push back is very important for the corner combos.
