Story

Mr. Big has been involved with the mob for as long as he can remember. He made it big in Southtown, a city as seedy and corrupt as he is. Rather than pay tribute to Geese Howard, boss of all organized crime in town, Mr. Big joined Geese's organization, and quickly rose to become his right-hand man.

While Geese was out of town on business, he left Big in charge. Big secretly feared Takuma Sakazaki, the master of Kyokugenryu Karate, so he ordered the kidnapping of Takuma's daughter, Yuri, and threatened Takuma into working for him. Unfortunately, the plan backfired when Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia fought their way through Southtown's crime to find both of them, beating Big senseless to rescue Yuri and Takuma.

Big pondered informing Geese of the incident upon his return, but Geese soon grew embroiled in a situation involving the Bogard brothers, and Big wisely kept his mouth shut.

Introduction

Big will only take 80% of the damage dealt to him once he dips below 75% health, non-inclusive, and will only take 70% of the damage dealt to him once he dips below 50% health, non-inclusive. This makes him a uniquely tanky character in a game with mostly-universal health. Aside from that, Big is a powerhouse with great space control, a uniquely strong low-profile forward dash, and devastating throw loops.


Strengths Weaknesses
  • More effective health than all but 1 other character
  • Forward dash low profiles many pokes
  • Low Attack and Cross Diving allows Big to punish some moves that are normally safe due to spacing
  • Throw loops that keep going even if you tech vs some characters
  • A neutral menace with powerful pokes and a great fireball
  • Very easy DM to set up
  • One of the only characters who can't walljump
  • Struggles to combo, and can't really hitconfirm

Big, pretty damaging mid poke. Whiffs on every croucher except Ryo, Robert, Takuma, Jack, and himself. Good to chuck out regardless due to its high range.

Kinda slow punish starter, but Low Attack is a better punisher due to the range and speed. Possible anti-air, but Uppercut is preferred.

Smaller than 2L. Hypothetically useful as a counterpoke due to the disjoint and KD that can set up a throw loop, but you could also just keep pressing 2L and 5LP.

Better than jL if you plan on landing on the opponent, since this hits deeper and you can combo after it. Aside from that, though, jL is ideal.

Big has more than enough time to dash up and throw you again on hit and even on tech (vs some characters, at least; we're still testing for how different tech speeds interact with this loop). Since you can grab people a couple frames before they're actionable on wakeup in this game, this allows Big to put you in guaranteed checkmate situation via throw loop.

Great fireball. Extremely good frame data compared to the competition, and even knocks down! The knockdown is plus enough that you can dash up into a throw loop as well, making this a scary option to represent.

At low Spirit, the fireball will dissipate instantly without travelling anywhere, and will do 13 damage. This is, of course, terrible, and you should not attempt this special at low Spirit.

26 Mid No 7 32 29 +79 (KD) -29 -

Costs 20% Spirit.

Extremely fast lunge - goes the entire length of the screen by *frame 13.* On hit, it knocks down into a throw loop as well. Due to how awful it is on block there isn't much benefit to it in neutral compared to sticking to the usual jabs and Ground Blaster. It has some utility as a whiff punish vs faraway opponents or a block punish vs moves which are minus, but used from a space where punishing them is tricky.

At low Spirit, Big will only dive halfscreen, and the move will do 13 damage. This basically removes every upside of the move. Don't use it in this state.

19 Mid No 30 70 4 +105 (KD) +7 -

Costs 20% Spirit.

Very funny looking but unfortunately useless move. A 30f mid with poor range doesn't have much to do in any stage of the battle. It being +7 on block might sound appealing, but that frame data is on the third hit; the second and third hits actually have a massive gap between each other on block, letting the enemy jump over the final hit and smack Big with their finest jump-in combo. This is, of course, very bad, and leaves the move with no utility.

At low Spirit, this special's damage is reduced to 13. While mostly unscathed, the move wasn't good before, so you still don't want to use it much in this situation.

26 Mid No 5 25 33 whiff +49 (KD) -49 -

Costs 25% Spirit.

Travels slower than Cross Diving and does the same damage, meaning there isn't much use to it in most situations. You can actually combo off point-blank 5LP/5LK/2L with this, and Cross Diving won't combo there. However, you can't hitconfirm this, and Low Attack > Cross Diving is a more rewarding punish, so this is exclusively a punish to moves that are -3~-5 and leave the enemy point-blank.

At low Spirit, Big will only dive halfscreen, and the move will do 8 damage. You shouldn't use this.

Too slow to check anything, takes a long time to extend to its max range, and is easily jumpable for a large punish. Not much to do with it aside from chip kills.

Costs 75% Spirit. Can only be executed with sufficient Spirit and at 25% health or below.

A unique DM that's uniquely easy to set up. Due to being an unblockable strike with much less startup than other DMs, you can apply this in a lot of situations; in particular, clHK and Low Attack can combo into it on hit and true blockstring into it on block. You can also slip it in after virtually any hit you land within its range, or as a meaty after a KD.
