|- | |content=As a point character Naoto is a zoning-rushdown hybrid who can employ a lot of different gameplans. She is able to zone with her traps and gunshots. She is also able to keep opponents in check with her godlike 2b anti-air. As far as offense goes, by herself it is nothing special, but when Naoto is paired up with most assists she gets really strong oki that can lead into 50/50s, unblockables, or both. Naoto's "Insta Kill" mechanic allows her insurance versus some characters, or the ability to secure an early kill against high health characters. She is at her scariest when she is in resonance and has one of the strongest resonances in the game. Most notoriously, in resonance she is able to keep characters locked down and chip them gaplessly to 1hp until resonance is over. Despite all these strengths, she mostly shines through her assists as they all have really good active switch windows and are amazing in neutral and offensive situations. Naoto is really good at enabling most the cast, however this also means that her stronger teams are usually the ones where she is not the focus of the team and more of an assist function. | ||

|header=Unique Ability: Fate Mark | |||
|content= Naoto can 'mark' her opponent with Anti-S SP Pistol Beta ({{clr|2|j.236B}}+{{clr|3|C}}) and the enhanced version of Anti-S SP Pistol Alpha ({{clr|2|236B}}+{{clr|3|C}}) on hit (basically whenever you hit the opponent with the shotgun). | |||
When marked, [[#Hamon|Hamaon]] or [[#Mudoon|Mudoon]] will instantly kill the opponent! | |||
The Fate Mark persists until Naoto dies and each character must be marked separately. Even though Fate Marks can be applied to assist characters, assists can never be instant killed by Hamaon or Mudoon. | |||

{{clr|1|5A}} is Naoto's main ground poke. Its also her best starter for punishes. Can pick up opponents off the ground. | |||
---- | |||
*Throw cancelable on block. | |||
*Knocks airborne opponents to the floor, allowing you to hit them on the ground. | |||
{{clr|1|5AA}} is a good combo tool. You can use {{clr|1|5A}} to pick up opponents in the air and follow-up with {{clr|1|5AAA}} or {{clr|2|2B}}. In the corner it can be used as a combo ender that leads to a safejump. During pressure its mostly used as blockstring filler. | |||

{{ | *Moves Naoto forward. | ||
{{ | |||
{{clr|1|5AAA}} is good for stagger. Since its just -1 on block, you can be sneaky and throw your opponent right after you recover from this move. | |||
---- | |||
*Unburstable on hit. | |||
Last hit of Naoto's {{clr|1|5A}} autocombo, mostly used to go into Cross Raid. Cross Raid should be used to switch out characters and tack on damage when low on resources. | |||

*Jump cancelable on block. | |||
This is Naoto's longest normal, but it has too much recovery to be used as a poke. Generally used in blockstrings as unpushblockable filler or as combo filler. | |||
---- | |||
Just like {{clr|2|5B}}, {{clr|2|5BB}} mostly used as a blockstring and combo filler. Since you can't pushblock the Persona you can use it to Active Switch into your partner and continue the pressure. | |||

{{ | *Launches the opponent | ||
Final hit of the {{clr|2|5B}} autocombo. Can be followed up with {{clr|2|2B}} on hit or block, since the Persona will remain in place. | |||

{{ | |description= | ||
*Unsafe on block. | |||
Generally not used outside of certain circumstances since its unsafe on block and requires you to be pretty close to the opponent. It can also be used to mix up her {{clr|1|5AAA}} with {{clr|1|5AA}} {{clr|3|5C}}, or even off of {{clr|1|5A}} due to similar-ish animations if you're feeling cocky. | |||

*Jump cancelable on block. | |||
*This move will come out on your Persona's current location if used after the {{clr|2|5B}} autocombo. | |||
Has really good forward reach, but isn’t so good if the enemy is straight above you. Extremely good tool overall in neutral. It has more blockstun and hitstun than {{clr|2|5B}}. With the right partner in the right situations, jumping can mean death thanks to this normal and Hamaon. | |||

Canceling this into {{clr|1|214A}} is Naoto's main launcher in combos. Can be used as a poke against characters that use armored moves. Can be used as blockstring filler. | |||

{{ | |||
{{clr|1|j.A}} is Naoto's fastest air normal. Can be used as jump-in, air-to-air and combo filler. Launches higher than {{clr|2|j.B}} on hit. Its kind of a Persona normal but not really since it can be pushblocked. | |||
---- | |||
*Can be canceled into {{clr|2|j.B}}. | |||
{{clr|1|j.AA}} is useful as a mixup tool since you can control how many times you want to hit high in a blockstring compared to {{clr|2|j.B}} that always hits twice. Also used as combo filler, just like jA it launches higher than {{clr|2|j.B}}. | |||
}} | }} | ||
===<big>{{clr|2|j.B}}</big>=== | |||
{{BBTag Move Card|game=BBTag | |||

|description= | |||
*Hits twice. | |||
Good at covering space since its very active. It has kinda the same uses as jA and jAA, but it covers a different angle and you can't control the amount of hits outside of timing. Doesn't launch very high on hit. Just like jA, the Persona can be pushblocked. | |||

|description= | |||
*This move will come out on your Persona's current location. | |||
Naoto sends her Persona forwards while stopping in mid-air; her Persona stays at the end location for a moment. This move has 8f of landing recovery and it’s dangerous to whiff, so don’t throw it out too often. Very nice combo tool that allows to combo into your shotgun from a long range {{clr|1|5A}}. Can also be looped in corner with {{clr|1|j.214A}}, to a certain extent. | |||

On a successful throw, you have many options, but most of the times you will use {{clr|1|5AA}} to pick up your opponent and continue your combo. Canceling your throw into Hamaon when the opponent is marked is a good option, since they won't be able to burst. | |||

Naoto enters a counter stance: if hit in close range Naoto will produce an explosion point-blank; if from afar Naoto will shoot a single bullet. A versatile counter super thanks to the far version's ability to counter projectiles. If Naoto is hit while in stance she s fully invulnerable to projectiles until the animation ends. Combined with the bullet's high pushback, it is very difficult for some characters to punish. It can hit (most) safejumps, just like other counter Reversal Actions. | |||

*Ground and Air B versions put Naoto in Aim Stance | |||
*The second hit is a high. | |||
Great for Active Switches and generally used as a combo ender. In sandwiches or in the corner, you can use the grounded version (or the air A version) to perform unblockable (or hard-to-blockable) setups by Active Switching into your partner and performing a low attack so it hits around the same time as the second hit from Double Fangs. You can buffer gunshots by holding a button prior to being able to shoot. | |||

Snipe A is a good zoning tool, since it shoots 5 bullets it will beat most projectiles. Pretty unsafe if whiffed or if blocked point blank. Usually used as your midscreen ender after an air B Double Fangs in certain combos. Really shines during Resonance Blaze when you can just cancel into Hamaon or your Anti-S SP Pistol Distortion Skill. | |||
---- | |||
Snipe B is decent at covering some spaces in the screen when A Snipe would whiff. Just like A Snipe, its unsafe if whiffed or blocked point blank. Can be used as combo filler in the corner and even as a combo ender, but most of the times A or C Snipe are preferred since B Snipe will make the opponent tech in the air if the combo is too long. Deals the most damage out of the three versions of Snipe. | |||
---- | |||
Snipe C has a niche in some matchups when you want to put a hitbox in front of you, but generally not used in neutral since {{clr|2|2B}} can cover the same area. It can be used to extend combos or as an ender after air B Double Fangs. The most reliable version to use as an ender in fact. Deals less damage than the other two versions. | |||
---- | |||
*27f earliest cancel into follow-ups. | |||
*Projectile invulnerable from 4-22f. | |||
Naoto performs a roll that can go past her opponent and remains in Aim stance. Good for when your opponent tries to challenge your A Snipe attempts with projectile Distortion Skills while you are still in Aim stance. Sometimes you can even dodge non-projectile Distortion Skills because Naoto rolls past the opponent before they can hit Naoto with their active frames. Its pretty risky to use as a mixup tool since its not completely invulnerable. | |||

The A version of Hair Trigger Megido is really useful. Lets you control some zones of the screen (especially in the air), limiting your opponents options to approach you. Its also very important for combos, {{clr|3|2C}} > {{clr|1|214A}} is your main launcher in the ground, {{clr|3|j.C}} > {{clr|1|j.214A}} can be looped in the corner for big damage. Learn how to set up A and B traps in the air to control space while keeping yourself safe. | |||

The B version of this move only covers the ground. In combos its a bit harder to use properly since the trap has to fall to the ground and then it starts working. Its plus on block but you need to be very close to your opponent and its easy to react to. You can be a bit tricky with this version in the air for some left/right mixups. | |||

Naoto enters a stance similar to Aim stance and starts slowly walking forwards, she can only go into Snipe(A/{{clr|2|B}}), Roll(66) or Critical Shot(C). Its not something you'd want to use often unless you can punish some unsafe stuff fullscreen. | |||

*Naoto shoots 1 bullet in a straight line for each A or B press, up to 5 bullets. | |||
*Launches the opponent vertically on hit. | |||
Really nice to punish long ranged unsafe moves like Yu's Ziodyne. Can also be used as a combo extender, but it uses precious meter and most of the times you won't get more damage than a meterless combo. After using the 5 shots Naoto will remain in Hold Up! "stance" and won't be able to use Snipe until you leave the stance. | |||
---- | |||
*Wallbounces the opponent on hit, wallsplats in the corner. | |||
*Cancels the Hold Up! stance. | |||
Don't be fooled by the 1-12f of invul, {{clr|3|236C}} has 4f of startup and doesn't have any invul, so you can't really use this move as a reversal. This move is mostly used to punish bursts and maybe as a combo extender, but it won't add much damage. | |||
---- | |||
*Enters Aim stance. | |||
Pretty much the same as the regular Roll, but {{clr|3|236C}} has less startup compared to {{clr|1|236A}}, so it comes out faster if you do it right away. | |||

Uses one meter to set up both traps. It has a lot less recovery than the regular versions, so it can be pretty useful, even if it costs meter, to regain momentum and get some control on the screen. Pretty decent to use as combo filler too. Best during Resonance Blaze or Rampage Time when Naoto has enough meter to milk this move. | |||

Naoto's other reversal. It has some flaws, like whiffing on nearby opponents in the corner, or just whiffing against nearby characters crouching. Naoto's reversals are subpar, this one is no exception. Can be DHC'd early on to make it safe or continue a combo with your partner character.

Your go-to when it comes to spending meter. Fate Mark is applied after the opponent recovers. As a result you can not use Hamaon to kill without the opponent recovering. Also since Naoto gets pushed to the other side of the screen after shooting, it resets the situation to neutral after using it. Knowing when you want to mark your opponent and when you are better off keeping the pressure is an important skill to have for this character. Also take into account that you need 4 meter to kill someone by just using the Fate Mark mechanic. If you manage to get a happy birthday, you can(and probably should) mark both characters at the same time. In the corner you can get oki by calling an assist before the shotgun hits your opponent, this works with all the cast. | |||

Deals 99999 damage on marked opponents. On block it locks down the opponent for a good while, so you have time to open them up for the Instant Kill. This can also be used during resonance to gain stage control or chip your opponent. Versatile, but remember that it costs 2 bars and by itself it won't deal any damage. Also it has negligible invulnerability on startup, so its not a good reversal option. | |||

Basically the Instant Kill that works in the air. Its not as versatile as Hamaon but frome time to time you can confuse your opponent by throwing out {{clr|3|j.C}} and using Mudoon when your opponent tries to do anything fancy. Something gimmicky you can do is to throw it out before activating Resonance Blaze close to the ground, and if your opponent is not careful they can get hit by it while trying to get closer to you. | |||

You can combo into this Astral with any version of Snipe or after throwing your opponent into a corner. Outside of that, you can’t really use this Astral for anything else: the startup is too long, the recovery is too long, the traps are not even unblockable… but at least it’s an option for when you get a hit and the opponent is not marked. | |||

The BBTag wiki has major gaps in information. The game has gone through numerous significant changes since its release. As a result, many BBTag pages on Dustloop Wiki are out of date or lacking important information.
We need your help expanding the content for this game. If you have knowledge to share, or know people who can help, please contribute to the wiki by editing sections where you can.Overview

Naoto can 'mark' her opponent with Anti-S SP Pistol Beta (j.236B+C) and the enhanced version of Anti-S SP Pistol Alpha (236B+C) on hit (basically whenever you hit the opponent with the shotgun).
When marked, Hamaon or Mudoon will instantly kill the opponent!

4A is Naoto's fastest normal. Useful for taking your turn back during pressure or scrambles.
- Jump cancelable on block.
- Throw cancelable on block.
4AA is generally not used. 5A is the superior follow up.
- Launches the opponent on hit
4AAA is generally not used since the options after 4A(A) > 5A are better.
- Launches the opponent on hit.
4AAAA is generally not used. It looks like the 5A autocombo ender but you can't go into Cross Raid.

- Throw cancelable on block.
5A is Naoto's main ground poke. Its also her best starter for punishes. Can pick up opponents off the ground.
- Throw cancelable on block.
- Knocks airborne opponents to the floor, allowing you to hit them on the ground.
5AA is a good combo tool. You can use 5A to pick up opponents in the air and follow-up with 5AAA or 2B. In the corner it can be used as a combo ender that leads to a safejump. During pressure its mostly used as blockstring filler.
- Hits low.
- Moves Naoto forward.
5AAA is good for stagger. Since its just -1 on block, you can be sneaky and throw your opponent right after you recover from this move.
- Unburstable on hit.
Last hit of Naoto's 5A autocombo, mostly used to go into Cross Raid. Cross Raid should be used to switch out characters and tack on damage when low on resources.

- Jump cancelable on block.
This is Naoto's longest normal, but it has too much recovery to be used as a poke. Generally used in blockstrings as unpushblockable filler or as combo filler.
Just like 5B, 5BB mostly used as a blockstring and combo filler. Since you can't pushblock the Persona you can use it to Active Switch into your partner and continue the pressure.
- Launches the opponent
Final hit of the 5B autocombo. Can be followed up with 2B on hit or block, since the Persona will remain in place.

- Unsafe on block.
Generally not used outside of certain circumstances since its unsafe on block and requires you to be pretty close to the opponent. It can also be used to mix up her 5AAA with 5AA 5C, or even off of 5A due to similar-ish animations if you're feeling cocky.

- This move will come out on your Persona's current location if used after the 5B autocombo.
Has really good forward reach, but isn’t so good if the enemy is straight above you. Extremely good tool overall in neutral. It has more blockstun and hitstun than 5B. With the right partner in the right situations, jumping can mean death thanks to this normal and Hamaon.

Canceling this into 214A is Naoto's main launcher in combos. Can be used as a poke against characters that use armored moves. Can be used as blockstring filler.

- Can't be canceled into j.B.
j.A is Naoto's fastest air normal. Can be used as jump-in, air-to-air and combo filler. Launches higher than j.B on hit. Its kind of a Persona normal but not really since it can be pushblocked.
- Can be canceled into j.B.
j.AA is useful as a mixup tool since you can control how many times you want to hit high in a blockstring compared to j.B that always hits twice. Also used as combo filler, just like jA it launches higher than j.B.

Good at covering space since its very active. It has kinda the same uses as jA and jAA, but it covers a different angle and you can't control the amount of hits outside of timing. Doesn't launch very high on hit. Just like jA, the Persona can be pushblocked.

- This move will come out on your Persona's current location.
Naoto sends her Persona forwards while stopping in mid-air; her Persona stays at the end location for a moment. This move has 8f of landing recovery and it’s dangerous to whiff, so don’t throw it out too often. Very nice combo tool that allows to combo into your shotgun from a long range 5A. Can also be looped in corner with j.214A, to a certain extent.

On a successful throw, you have many options, but most of the times you will use 5AA to pick up your opponent and continue your combo. Canceling your throw into Hamaon when the opponent is marked is a good option, since they won't be able to burst.

Naoto enters a counter stance: if hit in close range Naoto will produce an explosion point-blank; if from afar Naoto will shoot a single bullet. A versatile counter super thanks to the far version's ability to counter projectiles. If Naoto is hit while in stance she s fully invulnerable to projectiles until the animation ends. Combined with the bullet's high pushback, it is very difficult for some characters to punish. It can hit (most) safejumps, just like other counter Reversal Actions.

- Ground and Air B versions put Naoto in Aim Stance
- The second hit is a high.
Great for Active Switches and generally used as a combo ender. In sandwiches or in the corner, you can use the grounded version (or the air A version) to perform unblockable (or hard-to-blockable) setups by Active Switching into your partner and performing a low attack so it hits around the same time as the second hit from Double Fangs. You can buffer gunshots by holding a button prior to being able to shoot.

Snipe A is a good zoning tool, since it shoots 5 bullets it will beat most projectiles. Pretty unsafe if whiffed or if blocked point blank. Usually used as your midscreen ender after an air B Double Fangs in certain combos. Really shines during Resonance Blaze when you can just cancel into Hamaon or your Anti-S SP Pistol Distortion Skill.
Snipe B is decent at covering some spaces in the screen when A Snipe would whiff. Just like A Snipe, its unsafe if whiffed or blocked point blank. Can be used as combo filler in the corner and even as a combo ender, but most of the times A or C Snipe are preferred since B Snipe will make the opponent tech in the air if the combo is too long. Deals the most damage out of the three versions of Snipe.
Snipe C has a niche in some matchups when you want to put a hitbox in front of you, but generally not used in neutral since 2B can cover the same area. It can be used to extend combos or as an ender after air B Double Fangs. The most reliable version to use as an ender in fact. Deals less damage than the other two versions.
- 27f earliest cancel into follow-ups.
- Projectile invulnerable from 4-22f.
Naoto performs a roll that can go past her opponent and remains in Aim stance. Good for when your opponent tries to challenge your A Snipe attempts with projectile Distortion Skills while you are still in Aim stance. Sometimes you can even dodge non-projectile Distortion Skills because Naoto rolls past the opponent before they can hit Naoto with their active frames. Its pretty risky to use as a mixup tool since its not completely invulnerable.

- Sets up a trap in Naoto's location, roughly at the waist.
- Has the projectile property, counts as one hit.
- The opponent can remove the traps by hitting them with a move while being close to them, a projectile, or hitting Naoto.
- When the opponent (or their assist) gets too close to a trap, it detonates.
- Only two of this trap can be on the stage at the same time.
- Stops Naoto's momentum for a while if used in the air, Naoto can act afterwards.
The A version of Hair Trigger Megido is really useful. Lets you control some zones of the screen (especially in the air), limiting your opponents options to approach you. Its also very important for combos, 2C > 214A is your main launcher in the ground, j.C > j.214A can be looped in the corner for big damage. Learn how to set up A and B traps in the air to control space while keeping yourself safe.
- Drops a trap in Naoto's location, the trap is set on the ground.

- Stops Naoto's momentum for a while if used in the air, Naoto can act afterwards.
The B version of this move only covers the ground. In combos its a bit harder to use properly since the trap has to fall to the ground and then it starts working. Its plus on block but you need to be very close to your opponent and its easy to react to. You can be a bit tricky with this version in the air for some left/right mixups.

Naoto enters a stance similar to Aim stance and starts slowly walking forwards, she can only go into Snipe(A/B), Roll(66) or Critical Shot(C). Its not something you'd want to use often unless you can punish some unsafe stuff fullscreen.

- Naoto shoots 1 bullet in a straight line for each A or B press, up to 5 bullets.
- Launches the opponent vertically on hit.
Really nice to punish long ranged unsafe moves like Yu's Ziodyne. Can also be used as a combo extender, but it uses precious meter and most of the times you won't get more damage than a meterless combo. After using the 5 shots Naoto will remain in Hold Up! "stance" and won't be able to use Snipe until you leave the stance.
- Wallbounces the opponent on hit, wallsplats in the corner.
- Cancels the Hold Up! stance.
Don't be fooled by the 1-12f of invul, 236C has 4f of startup and doesn't have any invul, so you can't really use this move as a reversal. This move is mostly used to punish bursts and maybe as a combo extender, but it won't add much damage.
- Enters Aim stance.
Pretty much the same as the regular Roll, but 236C has less startup compared to 236A, so it comes out faster if you do it right away.

- Sets up both A and B traps in Naoto's location.

- Stops Naoto's momentum for a while if used in the air, Naoto can act afterwards.
Uses one meter to set up both traps. It has a lot less recovery than the regular versions, so it can be pretty useful, even if it costs meter, to regain momentum and get some control on the screen. Pretty decent to use as combo filler too. Best during Resonance Blaze or Rampage Time when Naoto has enough meter to milk this move.

Really good for lockdown and neutral if you are able to defend Naoto or keep the opponent in the ground before she starts shooting. It also has a lot of time where you can Active Switch, even after Naoto finishes shooting.

- Vacuums the opponent for a short moment on the first hits.
Good as an anti-air, combo extender, works for lockdown, and like 6P it gives you a lot of time to Active Switch. Usually the most damaging assist if you can get all five hits. Can also be used on pressure to steal the corner for a moment and getting your opponent sandwiched.

- In Cross Combo or Resonance, automatically transitions into Anti-S SP Pistol Beta, marking the opponent with the Fate Mark on their recovery.
- Can mark the partner character in Enhanced version.
Naoto's other reversal. It has some flaws, like whiffing on nearby opponents in the corner, or just whiffing against nearby characters crouching. Naoto's reversals are subpar, this one is no exception. Can be DHC'd early on to make it safe or continue a combo with your partner character. Most of the times you will be using the Enhanced version to use the shotgun and mark your opponent.

- Marks the opponent with the Fate Mark on their recovery.
- Can mark the partner character.
- TK the input to get this while standing.
Your go-to when it comes to spending meter. Fate Mark is applied after the opponent recovers. As a result you can not use Hamaon to kill without the opponent recovering. Also since Naoto gets pushed to the other side of the screen after shooting, it resets the situation to neutral after using it. Knowing when you want to mark your opponent and when you are better off keeping the pressure is an important skill to have for this character. Also take into account that you need 4 meter to kill someone by just using the Fate Mark mechanic. If you manage to get a happy birthday, you can(and probably should) mark both characters at the same time. In the corner you can get oki by calling an assist before the shotgun hits your opponent, this works with all the cast.

- Instantly kills the opponent if the Fate Mark was applied on them.
- Tracks the opponent's location.
- Won't kill the partner character.
- Projectile property.
Deals 99999 damage on marked opponents. On block it locks down the opponent for a good while, so you have time to open them up for the Instant Kill. This can also be used during resonance to gain stage control or chip your opponent. Versatile, but remember that it costs 2 bars and by itself it won't deal any damage. Also it has negligible invulnerability on startup, so its not a good reversal option.

- Instantly kills the opponent if the Fate Mark was applied on them.
- Won't kill the partner character.
- This move will come out on your Persona's current location.
- Projectile property.
Basically the Instant Kill that works in the air. Its not as versatile as Hamaon but frome time to time you can confuse your opponent by throwing out j.C and using Mudoon when your opponent tries to do anything fancy. Something gimmicky you can do is to throw it out before activating Resonance Blaze close to the ground, and if your opponent is not careful they can get hit by it while trying to get closer to you.

You can combo into this Astral with any version of Snipe or after throwing your opponent into a corner. Outside of that, you can’t really use this Astral for anything else: the startup is too long, the recovery is too long, the traps are not even unblockable… but at least it’s an option for when you get a hit and the opponent is not marked.
