Negatives for Bridget:

-Faust has good damage

-his range

-can crawl under your 5s

-better keep away (is debatable tho...)

-Faust is very short when crouching

-good mixups (unblockables, instant overheads, pole gimmicks)

Any tips on this fight?

6/4 May's favor.

Superjump back j.S beats a vertical dolphin

Other that that, don't swing

Punishes

3K = CH 2S>6S>jc.S>j.2S>jc.S>j.2D

cross-up vertical dolphin = jump IB, land run in 2D>FRC> 5K>6S>jc.S>j.2S.jc.S>j.2S

Counters

Pressured Horizontal dolphin = CH 3P run in 5K>6S>jc.S>j.2S>jc.S>j.2S

Random full screen dolphins = CH HSR run j.S>j.2S>jc.S>j.S

Anti-airing

lol no. Jump IB, hopefully yiou'll have the right spacing for a falling j.K>jc.K>j.S>j.2S or a landing throw.

Zoning

Yo-yo call backs. All day. Your absolute best tool in this fight.

Razor bears suck because she can set a hoop and then out zone you.

Their game plan

Swing j.HS and ground 5HS at max range until you get CH then loopa-doop a 60% combo that KD costs no tension.

Throw out vertical dolphins when you are aerial b/c if it hit or trades it's launch and she gets a 60% loopa doop combo that KD and costs no tension.

Command grab you. Her command grab nest a 50% loopa doop combo that KD and costs no tension. ( corner costs her 25% ) She uses no RC/FRC's so beware her fast tension gain.

Strategy

DO NOT SWING.

Although you can CH a horizontal dolphin, only do it when she has less than 25% meter because one FB gunflame and you eat a 60% loopa doop combo that KD and costs her 25% tension. If you block it beware a damaging tick throw.

When Bridget is aerial May will super jump and swing HS it hits way above her head. DO NOT PRESS BUTTONS. Every button you do press must be precisely executed and you must *know* the outcome of the situation.

Stats

5.5/4.5

Openers

guard.

BD is bad, it loses to Stroke the big tree and dashing normals.

j.P loses to Chemical Love.

5P whiff, 2K, ( this will crush her dashing normals and her stroke the big tree first move) If the 5p connects you can cancel to 6S~B&B. If the 2K connects you can cancel to c.S(1)~KSMH~P.

Any connected 6P on I-no's part can be canceled into 2H (whiff) and she has enough time to do meaty note. Same with CH f.S~2HS(whiff),dash, B&B she will beg for this, be wary of her f.S first move.

I-no's 6P beats all grounded punch attacks, beats 5S(f) even if done pretty late, has completely distance-dependent success against 2S (I-no wins close, far away they clash, further still I-no loses), loses to all grounded kicks and 2D.

She will probably do these first move if she wants to be offensive.

Dash

Stroke the Big Tree

6P

f.S

Punishes

If you IB a chem love you can 2D her.

If you Slashback a Chemical Love you get a 6S~B&B

dive - j.IB land throw.

Counters

CL - dash under it, CH 6S

Stroke the big tree - 2K, KSMH, 2D

Note- free CH 6S

2K beats Stroke and crouches under Chemical Love.

6S can counterhit Chemical Love and TK note from really far away. Grounded note can be counterhit by 6S from the maximum range of Bridget's far 5S. This can be done on reaction, but the note will still come out if you delay it. If you're too slow, the note will hit you during the 6S' hitstop. Sometimes you can jump cancel and block first.

Anti-airing

5P is amazing in this fight. All she can do is the predict it and throw a f.S, once she does that you get a free IAD, loopy mind game =P

Zoning

Yo yo call back is a go go.

Razor bear isn't to effective, Note kills it.

I prefer HSS_5 and HSS_4 in this fight.

Her 6P and Stroke (S version) beat Bridget's far S.

I-no's 6P beats all grounded punch attacks, beats 5S(f) even if done pretty late, has completely distance-dependent success against 2S (I-no wins close, far away they clash, further still I-no loses), loses to all grounded kicks and 2D.

I-no's 5K from far away trades with far S, beats 2S with very lenient timing unless a little over two character-lengths away, trades with 2P, trades with 5K, is crouched under by 2K, seems to generally beat 2D, loses to 5P. These are all for distances where the 5K whiffs if Bridget does nothing.

Her Stroke (S version) beats Bridget's 2S. 6P can either beat or clash with 2S, depending on her timing. Chemical Love will beat or trade with 2S.

Their game plan

Lock you down w/ note as an Aegis and get an dashing 50/50. Even if you get hit by a low 50/50 it's a lot less damage than the overhead.

Strategy

When your in, RTSD. All she can do to get out of pressure is easily baited, Super, Stroke the Big tree,the usual ( jump, BD, etc.). Zone and play this mind game of avoid notes and get a a CH 6S when it's a close enough note.

When she is "zoning" you, all she'll do is throw note and Chemical Love, no biggie.

5P is probably the best normal to stuff the beginning of a dash attempt, since it's safe from Stroke. Even extremely early 5K usually loses to j.K and j.S if she's dashing from about her 2H range (which is common re-dash spacing).

I like rushing this bitch.

Char specific details

combo’s

After an extended ground combo KSMH~K whiffs on crouch. Do not do it.

I-no cannot duck Bridget's 5P, therefore, 2P~5P(whiff) throw does not work, and you can pressure 5P on her no problem.

IAD combo - Yes

SJI combo - YES

KSMH~K on Crouch - NO

KSMH~K on Stand - Normal timing
