Overview
Overview

Some people might call a yo-yo a poor choice of weapon, but they just don't have enough creativity! With speed, range, and dizzying mix-ups, this girl can run circles around any opponent!

Bridget is a well-rounded character who is easy to pick up and play, with high range, good mobility, a meterless reversal, and simple combos that lead into strong pressure situations. However, don't be fooled into thinking that means she's simple! Her Stop and DashGGST Bridget Stop and Dash Overlay Air.pngGuardAllStartup15RecoveryTotal 38Advantage-4 setplay projectile and Rolling MovementGGST Bridget 214K.pngGuardAllStartup20~38Recovery0Advantage+16 (Airborne) can be layered together and combined with her other tools in countless ways, giving her a uniquely expressive flair in her offense!

To complement this, Bridget has a fantastic suite of neutral tools. f.S and 5H reach very far, and possess both slightly disjointed hitboxes as well as follow-ups with fantastic corner carry that allow Bridget to start her offense on hit. Paired with her multi-hitting 2S to catch movement and help shore up the weakness to 6Ps and similar low profile options, she has the ability to assert dominant control over the ground. Her air control is similarly extremely strong, with j.H being one of the rare air normals to possess a significant disjoint, as well as her wide and high striking 2H.

On defense, Bridget has several strong options to work with, though she must be very careful when using them. A 5 frame and reasonably large 2K gives her abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it. a bite many characters lack, and StarshipGGST Bridget 623P.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery39Advantage-28 is a perfectly serviceable meterless reversal, though she lacks an invincible Overdrive to beat throws and spaced okizeme. However, when she is forced onto the back foot, the specter of a 0 Guts Rating looms large. She will very frequently die to hits another character would survive with a decent buffer to spare. Combined with her lower than average damage, Bridget has to be right many more times than she is wrong.

In spite of that, her wide and powerful toolkit more than enables her to run circles around her opponent until they die from a thousand cuts. If you like strong tools and boundless creativity, wrapped up in a cute as heck package, Bridget may very well be for you!

 Bridget  Bridget is classified as a Balance type who utilizes strong pokes and mobility to set the range and speed of the match to her preference.

Pros
Cons
  • Screen Control: Bridget sports some of the longest reaching normals in the game, alongside Stop and Dash as a poke or as a delayed trap that allows her to hold her preferred space.
  • Corner Carry: Virtually every blockstring, knockdown, and combo has enormous corner carry, easily trapping opponents with few interactions.
  • Tricky Offense: Setting up Stop and Dash and using Rolling Movement allows Bridget to set up large sequences of safe high-low and left-right mix-ups that vortex back into more mix-ups, alongside her Rock The BabyGGST Bridget 63214P.pngGuardGround ThrowStartup27Recovery28AdvantageN/A command grab.
  • Feinting: Bridget's specials have adjustable momentum, startup, or ambiguous animations, allowing Bridget to bait and punish reactions from opponents.
  • Flawed Defense: Despite having a meterless reversal and a high-reward 5f normal, Bridget's low health and lack of throw-invulnerable reversal makes her easier to challenge with Strike-Throw offense.
  • Low Damage: Bridget's damage output is relatively weak. While she gets good reward from ranged pokes and vortexing mixups, her damage on big hits is lackluster combined with weak damage from her Overdrives, making it harder to finish off an opponent.

Simple, fast mid-range poke.

Not a traditional 5P, instead more akin to other characters' 5K as a simple, fast mid-range poke. For lack of a 2D gatling it cannot combo into hard knockdown A knockdown that forces the character into a prolonged knockdown state. After a hard knockdown, teching is disabled briefly, allowing the player who is on the offensive more time to set up a meaty, a mix-up, etc. on hit, but confirms into 6K for large corner carry with a basic combo. Its access to self-gatling also makes this extremely good for pushing opponents out of Bridget's weaker close-range, making itself completely safe on block in the process.

Bridget's fastest standing attack, similar to other characters' 5P.

With good reach, speed, and active frames, 5K is a useful close-range poke with great reward with its 2D Hard knockdown A knockdown that forces the character into a prolonged knockdown state. After a hard knockdown, teching is disabled briefly, allowing the player who is on the offensive more time to set up a meaty, a mix-up, etc. gatling, or comboing into c.S off a very close-range Counter Hit. However, unlike most standing jabs, this does not hit high enough to anti-air and cannot self-gatling, reducing its versatility.

Not particularly special outside combos. Can confirm f.S or 2S into a knockdown from further away than 5H~H.

Almost entirely obsolete to a well-timed 5H gatling for pressure, pushback, R.I.S.C., and even reward on hit. However, this 1F true frametraps from far f.S and 2S, catching 6P abare which is extremely difficult to catch with manually delayed 5H. At close range however, 5H is easier to pressure with due to this move's unforgiving cancel window.

Huge attack with just as huge recovery

In neutral, 5H is Bridget's single largest attack. With it's fast startup for its range, it is a great whiff punish tool, using 5H~H > 236K for corner-carry and basic okizeme. It can also double up as an enormous poke, with difficult but rewarding combos on Counter Hit. Unfortunately its recovery is enormous, often allowing an opponent to entirely close the gap immediately, making it risky to poke beyond its range.

In pressure, its main role is to continue a blockstring after f.S or 2S, offering more value than S Follow-UpGGST Bridget S.pngGuardAllStartup12Recovery27Advantage-14 in most aspects, but can be easily defeated by 6P if a gap is opened without perfect timing.

Universal overhead attack. Tapping D gives a fast but weak overhead, while holding down D will give a much slower but much more powerful strike.


Uncharged Dust Attack

A fast overhead that excels during setup.

By using Stop and DashGGST Bridget Stop and Dash 214X.pngGuardAllStartup130RecoveryTotal 30Advantage~, Bridget can largely improve Dust as a mix-up, either jailing into it completely to prevent abare then comboing with RRC, or have the yo-yo hit after the attack to enable meterless combos and maintain frame advantage on block. While Bridget has many other ways to set up mix-ups from okizeme, this allows Bridget to use it from 5K, 2K, and c.S blockstring pressure without a reliance on the slower Rolling MovementGGST Bridget 214K.pngGuardAllStartup20~38Recovery0Advantage+16 (Airborne).

Additionally Uncharged Dust Attack can be used during Loop the LoopGGST Bridget 632146S 1.pngGuardMidStartup9+2Recovery47Advantage-29 at the cost of 100% Tension to enforce a safe confirm that automatically combos into the super's final hit. However, this is extremely expensive for a mix-up.


Charged Dust Attack

On hit, holding any upwards direction will activate Homing Jump for a large combo opportunity.

Slow, unsafe, but rewarding overhead. Similar to uncharged, Stop and DashGGST Bridget Stop and Dash 214X.pngGuardAllStartup130RecoveryTotal 30Advantage~ can jail into this or make it more advantaged on block. While the Homing Jump offers a combo, correct setup of Stop and Dash allows higher damage combos with Wall-Break, especially to use Tension for even more reward.

Unfortunately, this is by far Bridget's most reactable mix-up option, and with her abundance of mix-up setups it's rarely worthwhile taking the risk once an opponent is prepared to defend against it.

Very fast and safe short-range poke.

With decent range, speed, and recovery 2P is very reliable for close to mid-range control. It has less range than 5P but is faster, hits lower, and can even combo into 2K on Counter Hit. It also shares the same gatlings, making it easy to push an opponent away on block and confirm more easily on hit.

Unlike most, Bridget's 'jab' is her kick. This gives some large benefits like access to a 2D knockdown on hit, and on Counter Hit, Bridget's c.S allows combos at decent range, giving even further reward. It also cannot be low-profiled at all, unlike most 2P attacks. However, this also means Bridget's jabs do not self-gatling, making it harder to hitconfirm.

Low poke and pressure gatling

One of the few moves that cannot be hit by a 6P, this is a critical part of Bridget's mid-range control. It's shorter range and longer recovery than f.S make it more risky against aggressive approaches, especially from jump-ins and low-crush attacks. Like f.S, it is good on hit, able to score a knockdown with large corner-carry.

It is also a good pressure tool. Off a mid-screen Throw it is one of Bridget's best Meaty Hitting an opponent to cover the moment as they lose invincibility.

Extremely high-hitting anti-air, but quite slow.

With unmatched vertical reach, and a long active time, this can anti-air tools designed to bait out 6P, and nets large combos on hit, especially Counter Hit. The yo-yo's motion takes time to move upward, making it functionally slower the further it must reach, as late as Frame 18 for its maximum height.

In pressure, it is very similar to 5H.

This also makes it especially valuable to combo into it with fully grounded combo stringsA combo that does not launch the opponent off the ground at any point. Note a 'floating crumple' will launch if hit during, but will remain grounded shortly after., allowing mixups to loop into more mixups, creating the combo structure of Bridget's setplay.

Generally not very useful outside combos. Approximately the same range as 2P but much slower and will lose to low-crush attacks. It cannot be low-profiled and cannot be blocked standing, with much higher reward, but it is risky at such close range. As a pressure tool, it is throwable from K normals at point-blank, and while more rewarding it is much less reliable than 2S as a pressure move from c.S, for lack of multi-hit or gatlings.

Huge, safe anti-air attack, but a bit slow for counter-poking

Initially hitting vertically, this is among the largest anti-air 6Ps in the game. Its fast upper-body invulnerability and hard knockdown on Counter Hit make it extremely potent to anti-air opponents with. Its only drawbacks are it does not have total invulnerability like StarshipGGST Bridget 623P.pngGuardAllStartup9Recovery39Advantage-28 and fewer active frames, but it can be input quicker on reaction and offers better reward.

Like most 6Ps, its upper body invulnerability makes it a good counter-poke in neutral against moves like f.S attacks. However, Bridget's 6P is extremely short in the early active frames, taking functionally longer to have the same reach as others, potentially missing an opportunity to punish an attack.

Bridget's aerial jab.

Confusingly not j.K like Bridget's grounded normals, this is Bridget's fastest aerial attack. Very good at challenging Air Throws and as an uncommittal air-to-air. It can gatling into itself for advantage on block and combo on hit, but this will do very little damage. This is also the fastest jump-in from IAD An air dash performed from a standing position as quickly and as low to the ground as possible from a jump. Done by inputting 956 754, and depending on the game, using a dash macro right after a jump. with considerably large range, but will initially whiff crouching opponents, making it potentially slower than j.S on very low characters.

Lingering air-to-air and anti-fuzzy guard.

Bridget slows down mid-air with an extremely active attack. While slow to start up, once active it becomes almost unavoidable for opponents above Bridget. This means it can be used even if Bridget cannot reach the same height, by lingering beneath their jumping trajectory. On block you can true blockstring an opponent with Airdash Cancel j.P, unless too close resulting in a cross-up.

By stalling in the air while hitting several times in a row as an overhead, j.D can also be used to catch fuzzy guard A defensive technique where the defender changes their guard direction rapidly and precisely to cover multiple ways they can be hit such as high/low or left/right. attempts that anticipate Bridget to land into a low.

Pressure setplay and neutral poke tool

Bridget sends out a yo-yo, which returns after a couple seconds. Depending how it is input, the yo-yo either hits as it is sent out, or hits on its return.

A very fast and advantageous projectile.

A functionally very easy poke, with its great range, speed, and on-block. It also opens the use of Rolling Movement for extending pressure off safer normals such as 6K.

Mixup pressure tool, central to Bridget's strongest okizeme.

Functioning like an airdash with an attack, Bridget can run very strong mix-ups. She can cancel the air movement early (using a whiffed Air Throw or j.P) to hit Low or Throw, or cancel into an overhead attack. Even after the Rolling Movement hits, Bridget has time to use an air attack before landing, while being extremely plus, and is so plus she use no air attack and directly frametrap into 2K. She can also jump cancel the air moves for an F-Shiki Sometimes known as "Fuzzy Overhead". When you are in blockstun, you can switch high/low blocking, but your blocking animation and hurtbox does not change until you leave blockstun or block another attack. F-Shikis take advantage of this and use overheads that would miss on crouching characters, but not on standing characters. mix-up. This is the foundation of Bridget's setplay.

However, it is also costs no Tension, making Bridget one of few to have a constant threat to disrupt okizeme and gaps in pressure. It is also very active, making it good at catching opponents pre-emptively.

The range is decent, but can be exploited. The hitbox is slightly raised off the ground, meaning low pokes can be DP-safe. Additionally, Starship will not self-combo properly when hitting from farther distances, losing any okizeme on hit and having low reward on hit besides.

Niche anti-zoning and whiff punish tool

Roger flies across the stage directly towards the opponent, able to cut through any zoning that would hold Bridget back. Unfortunately only slightly advantaged, and fairly low damage, making it not particularly useful for enforcing pressure, and often still requires Bridget to fight in neutral, making it an expensive option.

With its full-screen range, Roger can whiff punish attacks. Unfortunately it is rarely useful, for its slower input, low damage, and Bridget's access to an enormous 5H which is faster at its range regardless of input timing.

Can be used in some long-range Wall Sticks to get a hard knockdown on wall break, but it deals extremely low damage and is best avoided if possible.

  • Hard knockdown on hit.
  • Roger continues to move forward indefinitely until they go off-screen, hitting for a total 5 times on an opponent.
