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 ^^

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

I'm not sure of that, i will try again

Majin buu/Nappa/Vegeters, team low tier be bodying people at 550k ~ 650k bp

ive seen players jump cancel Buu's Down S in place of his standing medium since that headbutt is way too slow

[mitspieler]

I think thats what he meant. Its (LL) 2M 2S jc.L... usually but the timing is quite tight compared to other chars imo. However I still haven't checked if 2M 2S 5L jc.L is working. But I miss it too often and just go into (2)H directly for now (in theory, in a match LL 236M 236LM works just too well)

I'd really like to have an experienced player telling me why buu is considered bottom tier in most tier lists.

In low ranks he's more than viable, even better players struggle to block his overheads. Also the fat throw setups and mixups on yt seem pretty legit. His aerial 2H covers half screen, almost any hit can be confirmed into an untechable or even hard knockdown. His 236H goes fullscreen to annoy people. He can combo his 6M... what makes him so bad?

He's not bottom tier. He's just not OP and simple like Bardock.

I win with him daily as he's my #2 next to PIccolo san. I assume you figure out his combo by now. If not, do the crouching S and then standing L then jump up to complete your air combo.

I've been a Buu main since launch day and am currently running him with Nappa and 21 at around 690,000 bp. He's definitely viable if that's what you're worried about, but like the last guy said, he requires some brain cells to use.

[mitspieler]

Oh wow :D well it's been a while and I haven't played much recently. However I had Buu as anchor all the time and made it to 600kbp (without much brain tbh).

I'm not familiar with latest patches/changes, but iirc he was looked down on because his confirms were so unreliable for basic stuff like aircombo xx wheel for example. I think every Buu player managed to get his combos down by now. I thought the cartwheel > assist > fat throw mixup is really strong and his normals were pretty fast (st.l/cr.l) and useful (j.h).

The reason why I made this thread is that I'm barely above just mashing buttons, and I believe Buu works just really well to mess with people. Especially online, so I can't tell how viable he really is. Few months ago it was basically just brkrdave and alioune using him on tournament level.

I must say, the online guys that use majin in tournaments pretty much suck with him. From what I've seen they rely on Vegeta assist for Majins 50/50 combo reset.
