The First Gear, Justice

Overview

The original villain of Guilty Gear, based off of Tekkaman Blade. Justice has been radically altered from her previous iterations into a slow and plodding, but high damage zoning character.

Justice's optimal range varies depending on the opponent, aiming to keep out close range opponents with a field of projectiles and her huge range normals, but opting to stay in close quarters against other characters that can murder her from far away. When she has at least 25% meter, she can either go into huge damage, or can use Saperia Trance to break through an opponent's offense. Yet, when opponents get to their optimal space, Justice has an extremely hard time dealing: lacking any reversals outside of meter, and with her projectile game being one-dimensional. Her combos are fairly easy and can deal significant damage even without meter, but Justice will generally have to work around the opponent's strengths and play off of whatever she can do in given situations.

Strengths: Extreme range. Good mixup tools and long throw range. Builds meter quickly. Force Break goes through nearly everything. Excellent overdrives. Great guts rating, low guard balance. Amazing backdash. Crotch Spike.
Weaknesses: Extremely limited movement options. Slow pokes. Big target. Generally outclassed in many situations. Very few favorable matchups.
Movement Options: 1 Double Jump, no dashes or airdashes.

Strategy

General Tactics

Justice players will have to be patient a lot. Justice will find herself in unfavorable positions all the time, outclassed at certain ranges based on the matchup. Characters like Axl, Venom, Dizzy, Faust, and Zappa, she'll want to force herself in as much as possible, opting to go for high/low mixups quickly and doing big damage. Against close range characters like Kliff, Order-Sol, Sol, and Pot, she'll want them in the corner and out of the way whenever she can get it. Justice's backdash is important here, as its invincibility is tied with Potemkin for the highest in the game. Note that out of all the characters with a 5 guts rating, Justice has the best defense modifier, so you have a little bit of leeway to take a few hits, but of course the best course of action would be to never get hit at all.

Offense

Justice's biggest strength is her range, hitting targets for above average damage from half screen, knocking them down, and then going for a mixup or more zoning. 5K, 2S, and f.S all make for good pokes and harassment tools from far away, while 5H and 6H can net you big rewards if you throw them out occasionally. In the air, you have j.P and j.K for aerial footsies, and your other jumping normals for easy combo followup tools. You won't be getting your advantage very often, so take it for all it's worth when you do and press it.

6P can make for a loose frame trap and reset tool, due to its upper body invincibility, hitboxes, and forced crouch. Out of 5P, 2P, and 2K, you'll have a gap that will counter hit people trying to mash out. If they jump, 6P will catch them, and you can jump cancel into a combo. Mix it up with tick throws and backdashes (like 2P backdash) to either bait poke attempts or throw people terrified into blocking. Other frame traps include 5P and 2P into Sweep, 2H, and 5H, each with varying rewards.

2H is one of your most important tools for combos. It is combo'd to and from very easily, letting Justice's damage potential shine through as it should. Nearly all of Justice's ground normals will combo into it, and H/D nukes, j.P, j.K, j.S, and c.S can be linked out of it fairly easily. J.S is the hardest to combo into, but nets the biggest rewards. C.S works on everybody, but is harder and leads to less against lighter characters. Use nukes for knockdown.

For punishes and against dizzied opponents, 6H will be your bigger combo starter, as it does enormous damage to start and leads into even bigger numbers. Especially when used as a relaunch tool, 6H will be bringing up the damage count.

For movement, forward super jump is generally your go-to option. Combined with j.H, you'll be using this to get in a lot. Saperia Trance is amazing for how quickly it gets you across the stage, and the fact that it'll go through nearly everything on the way there. You might as well call it the hurt train.

Defense

When you find yourself cornered or outside of your optimal space, backdash, throw, Michael Blade and 5P will work well for you. Throw out Justice's jab to beat opponents trying to get in on you recklessly, as its speed and hitbox work wonders. As mentioned, Justice's backdash works incredibly well for avoiding things, as it's extremely invincible.

Use nukes en masse to zone out rushdown characters and turn the game into a doujin bullet hell. Throws are a good meterless reversal option for Justice because of her grab range. Tossing out Nuclear Blasts intelligently will keep an opponent from approaching from a particular angle for a short while. And of course, Michael Blade is an amazing reversal that can get you out of tight spots.

If you need to get out of the corner, you can push opponents out with FD and then Saperia Trance through them if you have the meter. Though you won't get much off of the grounded version, it'll free you from some pressure.

Oki and Meter

Nukes are your best friend for okizeme setups. When you score a knockdown, throw out one or two and move in if you need to press the advantage, or fill the screen with them if your goal is to keep them out. Your scary overheads will lead to decent damage if you move in on them and go for the mixup.

If you need meter, Justice's walk and blocked Michael Swords build tension like nobody's business. Throwing out tiger knee'd Michael Swords shrink's Justice's hitbox as well, avoiding lows in the process and keeping mostly anything out. If you see somebody rushing in afterwards, you can perform normals out of Michael Sword's aerial recovery pretty easily.

Basic Combos

Justice's combos are more or less the same regardless of whether you're in the corner or midscreen. Her aerial combo enders will push her back, even when you're in the corner.

-  |description=Unparalleled in range and devastating in power, Michael Blade hits the entire length of the screen, and vertically reaches from the floor to above Justice's head. It will eat through any projectiles and punish opponents fooling around on the other side of the stage. You can FRC to combo out of it/make it safe, and can combo into 6H afterwards if you're close enough and do even more damage. Do it after CH S Michael Swords, 5H, 6H, or whatever for big damage. The ultimate in JUST DO IT moves. You'll be blowing your meter on this a lot.
