4. Tactics

1. IB DP!!!!

If you are able to instant block and follow it with a dragon punch, then you will be able to get out of a lot of your opponent’s blockstrings if performed at the right moment. Once you start using this technique, it will force your opponents to mix in different moves for their blockstrings and/or stop midway through their blockstrings to bait your IB DP.

2. 2C vs 6A

Some of you may be wondering when to use 2C and 6A. Mu also has a DP but it shouldn't be used as an anti-air because it is relatively unsafe on block and it isn't even air unblockable. Mu's general answer to jump ins is one of these two moves.

The differences between these two moves is the start up and the hitboxes of each of them. 6A is faster but the hitbox is more horizontal than vertical while 2C is slower but has more of a vertical hitbox. Now that we know the differences, we can talk about when to use each of these moves.

Since 6A comes out faster than 2C, it should be used more for close jump ins. An example would be when Jin jump cancels a certain move into j.B in a blockstring, Mu should use 6A. If 2C was used, Mu would be hit out of the move during the start up animation. 2C should be used when an opponent is air dashing in on Mu from 3/4 to full screen. Then, one should be able to react and counter the opponent's jump in with a 2C. 6A isn't reliable in this situation due to a really small horizontal hitbox so it isn't guaranteed to beat out certain moves.

5. Combos

Note: If any part of the combo is in parenthesis, it is optional to do these moves.

throw dash 6A 6B dash 6A j.2C dash 2B 6A j.C j.2C (2B 63214C)

Damage: 2998 (4722)

Meter Required: 0 (50)

Meter Gain: 27

Notes: Works anywhere on the screen. Litchi, Lambda, Tsubaki, Bang. Arakune, Rachel, and Mu-12 have weird timings on 6A 6B

throw dash 6A 5C 2C j.C j.2C (2B 632146C)

Damage: 2357 (4159)

Meter Required: 0 (50)

Meter Gain: 17

Notes: Works anywhere on the screen and works on every character.

throw dash 6A 6B 6 6A 6C 214D 6A 6B 6A 2C j.C j.2C (2B 5B 632146C)

Damage: 3592 (5365)

Meter Required: 0 (50)

Meter Gain: 37 (40)

Notes: Should work on everybody but Hazama. Some characters require delaying 6B after the 6A by a few frames. Optional part is only in corner. Combo works midscreen. Before the 2nd 6A, the 6 was put there because µ has to walk up a little bit to hit the character usually.

5B 5C 6C 6D 632146D dash 6B dash 6A j.2C dash 2B 6A j.C j.2C

Damage: 4652

Meter Required: 50

Notes: Some characters require a point blank 5B while others you have to stand farther away for 5B. dash 6b and dash 6a parts are character dependent. Works on all characters.

More to be added later...

6. Setups

Note: xD means you can use either 2D, 4D, 5D, or 6D.

Midscreen

1. 6C 5D 66 2B

The following setup is also known as the vortex. You will cross under your opponent if they emergency tech or you will hit them with 2B if they don't. This setup can also be used to mess up people. Instead of timing it right, you can make it so you don't cross under your opponent with 2B by stopping early or dashing at your opponent with 2B a little later.

2. 6C 5D 663D jc.b

This setup after 6C can be used only if your opponent emergency techs after 6C. This is kind of like the setup above but instead of a mix up immediately after you cross under them, you set up a stein and jump cancel and as you're about to land again a laser will shoot at them from the 663D (2D) and you can go for a high/low mix up. Don't use this set up too often otherwise your opponent will DP you out of this set up.

3. 6C 5D 6D sjc.f

This setup forces your opponent to block the lasers coming from 5D and 6D. You can mix them up if they neutral tech. If they roll forward, you can air dash back and pressure them. If they roll backwards, you can air dash forward to pressure them. If they delay their teching you can pick them up with 2B.

4. 6C 5D 6D 236D 6D 2D

Using this setup extends the time 236D will be out in play. If you know your opponent will respect you can use this. After the 2D you can air dash over your opponent to force your opponent to block the other way or you can land in front of them depending on your spacing. The laser that keeps your opponent in blockstun in this setup isn't completely air tight so watch out for DPs.

5. 6C 5D 6D 236D 5D 63214C(full)

If you really know your opponent will respect you, you can extend your laser string with 5D and use the fully charged 63214C to break a lot of guard primers. You may also use this set up if your opponent does not know what is going on.

6. 6C 4D 236D

If your opponent neutral techs or forward techs, the laser will force them to block so you can get in on your opponent for a quick mix up. If he or she neutral techs and blocks, the laser will hit them 2 times and it is air tight.

7. 6C 6D 236D

Regardless of how your opponent techs, the laser will hit your opponent once after 236D is performed. This can be used for a quick mix up oppurtunity.

8. j.2C j.4[D]

The laser from the j.4[D] will hit the opponent regardless of how they tech. Beware that you may get DP'd or hit if you rush in immediately. You can air dash towards your opponent to continue pressure or air dash backwards to set up more steins if you did not use a double jump in your combo.

9. 6C 2D jc.f j.2C

For this setup, if your opponent forward techs, they will get hit by the laser from 2D and you can follow it up with j.A j.C. If your opponent backwards techs, they will get stuck blocking an air dash forward j.C. If the opponent tries to do a quick get up, they will get hit by the laser from 2D and you can combo that into j.A j.C like forward techs. If your opponent neutral techs you can air dash forward and perform a mix up.

Corner

1. 632146C xD jc j.B/6B/2B

Assuming your opponent will neutral tech and respect you, you can set up a stein and go for a mix up after you have performed 632146C.

2. 632146C 2B

If you think your opponent will roll out of the corner after 632146C, you can use 2B to lift your opponent back up and perform a new combo on them.

After 6C

Scenario 1: Opponent will land in front of you

3. 5D 214D 2B

This setup has many traps to it and probably one of her best and most scariest setups in the corner. 2B will catches forward techs, 214D catches back techs, and Mu is able to block all reversals after 2B except for the following: Ragna-Inferno Divider, Hazama-Jayoku Houtenjin, Tager-720. For these characters omit the 2B so you will be able to block the options these characters have. Once your opponent respects this set up, you will pretty much get a free mix up.

4. 5D 66 2B

Like midscreen setup 1, you can opt to cross your opponent up in the corner or not. Keep in mind this is fairly risky because if they know what is coming and block your attacks after, then you are stuck in the corner against your opponent.

5. 5D 663D jc.b

Like midscreen setup 2, assuming they neutral tech, you can use 663D (2D) to cross up your opponent and jump cancel back to put your opponent back into the corner. They would still have to block your mix up since they have to block the lasers.

Scenario 2: Opponent will land behind you - Happens when you are closer to your opponent in the corner than scenario 1 and 6C hits.

6. 5D 66 2B

You can cross up your opponent to get out of the corner and perform a mix up or you will hit them so you will be able to get out of the corner.

7. 5D 663D jc (Crosses up opponent and places stein assuming they neutral tech)

Like in corner setup 5, and midscreen setup 2, you are assuming your opponent will neutral tech. The problem with using this is that by jump cancelling back, you are essentially putting yourself back into the corner. You can do that if your opponent doesn't know which way to block but in this case, it is preferred that you jump cancel the 663D (2D) by jumping straight up.
