Majin Buu anyone?

[mitspieler]

Any thoughts? I've yet to spend some pmode time with buu but what I get from him as fullscreen overheads, mad fast crossups, etc feels interesting. But granted, I just mash with him for now.

Any thoughts from someone who mains him would be appreciated ^^

Love playing as Majin Buu. He's the lead in my team. He's got a few good tools at hand though they have a long startup, such as when he throws his gum to stop people. It's actually able to stop people in mid-chase too, so it's always a good idea to throw out one of these every once in a while to keep the pressure or when keeping a distance. His puff of smoke (236D or quarter circle front + A) is by far one of his best tools. Although it's a very weak attack, it comes out in just 2-3 frames. It's hella fast and has a slightly long reach, so it's good for surprising the rush down players.

Personally fat buu is my least favorite character. Then again I'm sure some pro will come out with insane tactics for him.

Majin Buu is really tricky to mess around with overall. He's one of the few characters who can't auto combo with the basic standing LMH combo, and also one of the few that can't normally lift players off the ground without a launcher in order to perform a chase in mid-air, not even through crouch medium-standing medium since it has such a long duration. He's definitely more about keep away due to his long reach with jumping heavy attack, and also has a huge hitbox with crouching heavy.

I should make a few videos showing off some combos I was able to discover. That'll be soon enough.

Out of curiosity what's your go-to 1-meter bnb damage like? Solo buu, no assist.

I don't know about how he's played, I only know that on Arcade, he's the one that I struggle the most to beat. It's insane what he does xD

My bnb combo with Majin Buu usually involves anything that revolves around launching the opponent with a crouching heavy, whether it be from a start up combo like his normal auto combo, or when an opponent dashes in. After that, the mid-air combo becomes (using Xbox buttons) X, Y, jump, X, Y, A (shoot all 4 ki blasts), QCF+A, teleport, QCF+Y. With QCF+Y, Majin Buu stomps the enemy down to the ground and starts punching, and right after that, you can finish it off with either a level 1 or level 3 attack.

Oh wow, someone just uploaded a cool Majin Buu combo guide today. Some of these are my go to bnb's, but there's a few added stuff that I didn't know was possible, like his cartwheel attack causing wallbounce so that he can initiate another quick air combo.

I jsut wish his overhead whas a comand input and not the defult function of the medium atack button.
Its hard to get used to.

I noticed the normal 2M M wont work as a launcher but think I saw a video where someone was launched with 2M 2S 5L jc... Going to experiment a bit.

Can anyone confirm from his 2M alone?

I use him as my anchor. Spam 236H > any super.

But in terms of real gameplay, I can't say much besides he has weird angles and good reach. And is slow in general.

[Deify SMD]

He's hard to use which makes him fun to use for me.

[McFly]

I have issue with the Cr- L,L,M,S. To jump L,M... It's the jump after the crouch S, most of the time he doesn't jump and do L standing, the timing to jump after crouch S is so short ?

[mitspieler]

If I'm not mistaken you can even jumpcancel a st.L after the S, but that won't change its timing.

its crazy to me that people will start playing a char without taking them into practice mode once
