BBCS Character Analysis

i think BBS fullscreen punish possibilitys need a mention here too. possibly in "against air" since it works well against airdashers etc. could make her potential against air into an A maybe

I keep forgetting to use BBS as a punisher because it feels so scrubby xP You're right though, it definitely makes her better in general situations.

And I didn't realize S+ was an option for max damage, I completely agree... I was practicing the combo follow-up for parrying inferno divider and 9.8k damage feels so dirty.

Ooo! Ooo! Me too!

Mu-12

Average damage: B-. Mu's average BnB only does slightly over 2k but she can do more with help from her lasers. Her throw combo and corner loop both net about 3k as well.

Max damage: S. Mu has one of the most damaging supers in the game. If she combos into it, its be hard for her to do less than 5k. She also has really good counter hit combos. CH jC goes into 4k (meterless) and her standard FC combo does 7.2k.

Pokes: B. Mu's 5C has good range but is very slow. Her jC is extremely good and she can be very annoying with that move alone.

Breaking out of pressure: B. Has a decent DP, counter assault works, good Back-Dash.

Mix up: C/B+. Outside of oki Mu's mixup is pretty bad. With the right setup however she can setup some fairly ambiguous traps and crossups.

Pressure: C/B. Her pressure game isn't very good. She has a decent frame trap with 2B and several Jump Cancelable moves, but her pressure is still weak. However with stiens setups it improves a bit.

Okizeme: A. She has alot of tricks regarding stiens and oki, but nothing air tight like litchi. Still, her oki can be difficult to defend against.

Against Ground: C. Her jump ins have awful air to ground hitboxes and j2C is just bad as a jump in. However, she can still space out some attacks with her jC.

Against Air: B+. jC is a great air to air, and Mu has 2C and 6A as solid anti-air.

Defense: C+. Low life, average primers. Hitbox makes her hard to combo.

In general situations: B. Decent pokes, AA and projectile gives her alot of options, even if they aren't all that great.

Overall: B. She does a little bit of everything, but doesn't excel in any particular area like other characters. She is very reliant on getting her stiens setup to be threatening and do high damage, which requires a knockdown, and that can be really hard to get sometimes.

Good matchups: Rachel, Tager, Arakune, Carl

Bad matchups: Litchi, Bang, Hazama

l'd give her pressure a boost to b. Mu is so much better at taking out primers like her sister lambda. SoD is a very gdly move mid range, and screwing with charging it will get you primers gone, space, advantage/frame traps, it's like lambda's spike chaser, spam that shit midrange. That alone makes her pressure just a bit more dangerous.

And it's a deadly anti-twitch at level 3 if they wasn't expecting it into 5k+.

Personal opinion speaking, I believe Mu-12 Okizeme is A-. Numerous set-ups with steins and Dash 2B cross-unders and not to mention 214D has practical uses (mostly buying time for a new set-up) and some potential yet to be shared. Definitely agree with the lacking of air coverage.

For what it's worth, I put her pressure at C/B because it improves alot with backup. SoD is a gimmick that most characters can beat so... yeah.

Her oki is not A. Unlike a character with actual oki (like Litchi), you can escape Mu's gimmicks and setups excluding the corner trap.

Edit: Also, most characters in this game have crap for oki, so what mu has is still pretty good by comparison.

I do find these very interesting to read and I hope they do get updated but with CS2 coming out, these aren't quite as needed.

[Synthesis]

I would still buff her oki to A. If you play your cards right, they force themselves to guess. Example:

5D 6D 236D dash (if they jump, 6A 2C etc...) 6D 4D (mix them up)

They won't jump much if you start punishing them, but you just need to watch out for reversals, so instead of S oki, I'd give her A- oki.

[FlyingVe]

Alright, I changed Oki to an A. I compared it with how SJ had done the rankings and what Mu has is just as good as everything he ranked A. Still, she has nothing on Litchi, and a few other characters out do her aswell (IMO).
