Advanced Strategies:

Guts Bullet: 7/10

Batsu lunges forward, throwing a blue fireball.  This is the fastest
fireball in the game, also a little more powerful than most.  However,
it disappears after 2/3 of the screen.  Also, it is not useful up
close.  Sometimes, your opponent will have time to counter attack,
after you nailed them with a Guts Bullet.  Try using it during a combo,
or after a Tardy Counter.  It helps with trying to keep a distance from
your enemy.  The air version is much safer, and you have a better
chance of hitting someone.  Time this move before using it.

Guts Upper: 8/10

Batsu dashes forward, and does a ground uppercut with flames
surrounding his hand.  This move is powerful, fast, and can be comboed
in easily.  Also, if you opponent does not Safe Escape, you will have
time to jump in the air to continue the madness.  Don't throw this move
out; use it during a combo, and after a Tardy Counter.  This move will
also connect with opponents who lay on the ground.  If Batsu misses, he
will be left open for a good second.

Crescent Star Kick: 7/10

Batsu does a 180 degree spin kick, while jumping in the air.  I though
this move was worthless, until I found how to combo it in and when to
time it.  This move does decent damage, and has priority over most
attacks.  Unlike most of Batsu's attacks, this one has great recovery.
Even if you don't connect with the Crescent Star Kick, it will still
leave you close to your opponent.  This and the Guts Upper are the best
moves to do after a Tardy Counter.

Shooting Star Kick: 7/10

Batsu does a super fast dart kick that goes at an angle; also he adds
some fire for effect.  This move racks up about 5 hits, and is his most
powerful Special Attack.  It's a decent air combo finisher, but you
better off trying to nail someone by just simply jumping in on them,
then busting out the Shooting Star Kick.  Even if they block, you will
be extremely close to them.

Super Guts Bullet: 8/10

Batsu does a huge Guts Bullet.  This move is extremely powerful, fast,
and is his best air combo finisher.  This move takes time to get used
to, because of the initial delay.  It can be comboed in on the ground,
but only after certain attacks.  Don't expect this one to hit someone
from afar, they can see it coming, and simply sidestep.  Times to use
it are; after a Tardy Counter, during a combo, or a counter to a
Burning Vigor Attack or Team Up Attack.

Rival Launcher: 8/10

Batsu knocks his opponent in the air, doing a pre-set combo.  If you
hit P rapidly, it will add a Shooting Star Kick.  Oddly though, this
one is only in the Arcade version.  Why is that?  This one is easier to
combo in then the Super Guts Bullet, but does less damage.  Sometimes,
your opponent will also get a chance to block in the middle of it.
Despite it's weaknesses, this gives Batsu a fast close up move that he
needs.

Super Shooting Star Kick: 7/10

Batsu does a super version of a Shooting Star Kick.  Now this one is
only found in the Evolution version.  Hmmm.I wish they just gave him
the Rival Launcher and Super Shooting Star Kick.  This is just as fast
as a regular Shooting Star Kick, plus a little more powerful.  You can
combo it in the air, but the Super Guts Bullet is a better option.
Once again, try to jump in on your opponent with it, or counter when
they try to attack.  Not the best, but it has its uses.

Double Guts Bullet: 9/10

Batsu's partner does a gut punch, and then they both launch a huge
double fireball that gets 7 hits.  This is one of the best Tag Team
Attacks, because it is fast and powerful.  Also the start up, the gut
punch, can hit standing and crouching opponents.  Use it often, or
better yet, use it as a Tardy Counter.

Batsu is a well-rounded character (he's my favorite), and a combo king.
Batsu can easily destroy someone with two or three combos.  Most of his
moves deal great damage, and have high priority.  Also, Batsu is
extremely fast, and can go from a high attack to a low attack in a
second. Batsu's two weaknesses are: 1.  His moves have a horrible
delay.  2.  It takes a lot of practice to make Batsu the best.  He's
not as easy to learn as others, such as Hideo, but when you do, it will
be worth it.  Batsu can play a defensive or offensive game.  I like to
stay extremely close, trying to set up for a combo.  Batsu can be
played in any fashion, just find the one that works for you.
