Advanced Strategies: Defense, Offense, and Ranking and use of moves.
Phoenix Fist: 5/10
Daigo charges forward with his hand flaming, if you repeat the motions,
he will do a multiple hitting punch combo. It does decent damage, and
is fairly safe to use. The only problem is that only the first hit can
be comboed in. This is best used after a Tardy Counter.
Aura Flame: 7/10
Daigo turns his back, and blasts a tower of flame straight up from the
ground. This can easily be comboed in, and probably his best ground
combo finisher. It will hit once in a combo, and 3 times if you can
get close enough to your opponent. This moves leaves Daigo open for a
significant period of time. This can counter most attacks and supers.
Just make sure it will connect. If your opponent likes to stay on the
ground, blast him up with an Aura Flame.
Phoenix Kick: 6/10
Daigo spins twice in the air, with legs extended kind of a hybrid of
the hurricane kick. It is not very powerful, compared to the Aura
Flame. However, it is safer to use. Best used after a Tardy Counter,
sidestep, or during a combo.
Skull Aura: 8/10
While Daigo is in mid air, he blasts a multi-colored fireball, which
hits multiple times. This is Daigo's best move, because it does decent
damage, it is his best non-super combo finisher, and is a great attack
to jump in on opponents. Almost no weaknesses when using this attack.
Phoenix Fury: 6/10
Daigo knocks his opponent with a gut punch, cracks his knuckles, and
goes crazy with a multi-hitting combo. Definitely one of the coolest
looking supers in the game. It does have two major problems, it's not
as strong as other Burning Vigor Attacks, and it cannot be comboed in.
It still has its uses, especially as a counter to a Burning Vigor
Attack or Team Super.
Soul Aura Flame: 7/10
Daigo turns his back, and blasts a HUGE pillar of flames from the
ground, also some funky looking flames go with it. This is Daigo's
most powerful super, if all the hits connect. The problem is, it has
no reach what so ever, and leaves you wide open. Only use this if your
opponent jumps in, or better yet, use it as a combo finisher to one of
Daigo's prolonged combos.
Super Skull Aura: 8/10
Basically a super version of the Skull Aura, only more powerful and
gets more hits. This is easily, Daigo's best super, for a number of
reasons: 1. It does decent damage. 2. Can be comboed in easily. 3.
Will not leave him open. 4. Can start a two super combo! This is one
of the best.
Super Parry: 9/10
Daigo jumps in on the screen, the opponent tries to punch him, but
Daigo takes it, then blasts his enemy in the air, and for effect your
partner bows. Too cool.
Daigo may not be the best character, but he has enough brawn and combo
carnage to keep up with the best. All of his moves are great for
defense and offense. Daigo is a close up fighter, since most of his
attacks have little range. Most of his supers are almost useless by
themselves, but if you practice hard enough, you can easily combo them
in. Daigo has some of the easiest and strongest combos in the game.
Tardy Counters are essential to Daigo's offensive game; it can start a
combo, or one of the best ways to set up his Phoenix Fury. His best
defensive moves are; Phoenix Kick and Aura Flame. His Phoenix Fist is
fairly safe to use, but Daigo is less likely to hit his opponent.
Never let up on your opponent, Daigo should be constantly pecking his
opponent with weak attacks or special attacks to set up Burning Vigor
Attacks or Special Attacks.
