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!

Normal Moves

StartupThe time before an attack is active. Written startup values include the first active frame, so the startup on a frame chart will display one less square than the written value. Frames
Active The active frames of an attack refers to the amount of time an attack can hit the opponent. Frames
InactiveFrames in the middle of multi-hit attacks which cannot hit the opponent, but are after the move has become active at least once. Frames
Recovery The recovery of an attack refers to the amount of time an attacker must wait before they may perform another action, even blocking. Frames

Simple, fast mid-range poke.

Not a traditional 5P, instead more akin to other characters' 5K. 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 on close hits 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.

Despite its fantastic frame data for its range, Bridget's 5P has essentially no reward at longer ranges, but nevertheless controls midrange against closer-range characters fairly dominantly.

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. Unfortunately slower than her 2K and can whiff some low attacks making it a generally worse abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it. unless the opponent is barely out of reach.

5K is useful in juggles as it launches higher than c.S while being faster and proximity-independent. This can be useful in midscreen corner-carry routes with dash cancels, or to squeeze a 5[D] in there to milk all the damage possible from a confirm.

Its multi-hit property comes with certain drawbacks and upsides. On the one hand, it is much more susceptible to Faultless Defense and IBFD, but on the other, it is extremely easy to hit-confirm with, and the extra hitstop can be useful to stall for 214S/214H's return hit, especially with a Dust Attack.

A decent long-range poke that is disjointed at the tip. Due to how the hitbox extends, its startup is greater than 10 at max range, but it still has its place next to 2S and 5H thanks to its much shorter recovery, making it much safer to throw out. It still greatly extends Bridget's hurtbox, making it susceptible to counterpokes such as 6P when poorly spaced.

Can be useful as a corner combo tool as it's Bridget's fastest non-P long-range normal and gatlings into 2H.

However, this 1F true frametraps from far f.S and 2S, catching 6P abare which is extremely difficult to catch with manually delayed 5H. It can also secure a knockdown from slightly greater range where 5HH cannot reach, so it has its uses.

Huge attack with just as huge recovery

In neutral, 5H is Bridget's single largest attack. With its 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. Exceptional range for a Dust.

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.

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.

Not great as a mix-up due to being extremely slow and always leaving a gap. However, 5[D] is Bridget's most damaging non-super, non-63214P move. Inserting 5[D] early into combos will likely significantly increasing the route's damage, despite the concessions Bridget might have to make after the fact. Inserting it later into combos can also increase damage, but doing so is generally more difficult and not as rewarding.

Low poke and pressure gatling.

One of Bridget's few direct answers to low-profile and her longest-range option against such moves, 2S is a critical part of Bridget's mid-range control. Its 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.

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

Hits low enough to beat 6Ps in the initial active frames, making it Bridget's highest-reward callout for opponents attempting to counterpoke her other normals. However, 2H's later hitboxes hit too high for this, the initial hitbox is quite short, and the whiff recovery is long, making this ill-advised unless Bridget truly has a good read on her opponent.

With extreme 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.

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 allows it to function as a 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 and potentially missing an opportunity to punish an attack. It is unsafe on ground block and at anywhere outside of point-blank will not combo into anything on standing hit, making it generally unreliable as a counter-poke or against pressure.

  • On normal hit, gives a small launch into soft knockdown.
  • On Counter Hit, launches into a hard knockdown. You can follow this up with 236K-K for good corner carry or 214S for yo-yoki.

A pretty rudimentary move at first glance with not too much stand-out utility. It may seem outclassed by 6H in blockstrings due to how much less reward it gives on Counter Hit, but one main draw is that it keeps you grounded, allowing you to maintain pressure with Kick Start My HeartGGST Bridget 236K.pngGuardAllStartup10Recovery9Advantage-20~+4 or potentially threatening a throw or pressure reset with a c.S.

Doing a gatling off of either 5K or 2K creates a 1 frame gap between each move's blockstun, trapping both throw and 6P attempts with relative safety.

Bridget moves forward during this attack while simultaneously raising her leg to kick, moving her hurtbox upward and causing many lows to whiff at the right distances. Along with the move's low recovery, these things make for a fairly niche high profile to beat lows or general option to play mid-range in neutral.

6K is also very useful for wall slump setups or to combo with 214S/H's return hit into a hard knockdown, as it does not launch the opponent on hit.

Primary jump-in and pressure tool.

j.S is a very versatile button with several hitboxes that all serve different purposes. The first hits very deep and can easily beat 6Ps if timed well, making this normal Bridget's most used and strongest jump-in. The later hitboxes hit very far out, making j.S also great for airdash offense as it can hit crouching opponents quickly and at a distance. j.S hits deep enough that Bridget might want to use it from high up, which could mitigate from advantage and leave her vulnerable to reversal throws on block, but she can make herself safe from this by cancelling into j.236S/H, or even j.214S/H to bait a throw for an explosive punish.

Besides its use as a jump-in, j.S is a great preemptive air-to-air as it throws a massive, active hitbox in front of Bridget that leads to full conversions on CH and normal hit. The recovery is high enough that she might be whiff punished for trying this from a forward jump, but low enough that Bridget should recover in the air and have access to her air options to avoid this.

From a High Jump IADPerform an Instant Airdash from a High Jump, done by inputting 2686 or 28~Dash Macro, Bridget has time to cancel j.S(1) into j.D to frametrap, while remaining +6 on block, setting up perfectly for c.S pressure.

Large air-to-air

j.H is horizontally Bridget's largest air normal, and unlike j.S, extends to its full length on its first active frame. In addition to its massive range, j.H also comes packing a decent disjoint, allowing Bridget to attack airborne opponents safely from very far away while still comboing (somewhat inconsistently) on hit. Unfortunately, its recovery is very long, making this very committal on a read.

j.H's size and disjoint also makes it very useful for controlling space while falling from a jump or whiff punishing using an air backdash, going hand-in-hand with Bridget's tricky air movement to score hits against an opponent too eager to anti-air her. However, j.H's use as a jump-in is somewhat limited by its high hitbox, which will whiff against any crouching opponent from an IAD An air dash performed from a standing position as quickly and as low to the ground as possible from a jump.

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 tool and neutral poke

236S/H

Bridget sends out a yo-yo, which returns after a couple seconds. While the yo-yo is out, Bridget can use Rolling MovementGGST Bridget 214K.pngGuardAllStartup20~38Recovery0Advantage+16 (Airborne) to fly towards it.

A very low-risk, low-reward poke, with great range, speed, and frame advantage. Opens the use of Rolling Movement for extending pressure off safer normals such as 6K.

In pressure, 236S/H offers very good frame advantage that increases with distance, as well as high pushback that makes any move completely safe on block. However, on most hits it cannot combo, and at spacings where it is plus on block, it leaves a gap that could allow Bridget's opponent to escape. When cancelled off Attack Level 2Attack Level 2 moves:
f.S, 2S, 2D, 6P, and 6K
moves it can be countered by 6P at close range. By using up the yo-yo in neutral, it removes the use of the yo-yo for a while, especially weakening 6H and Throw or 2D knockdowns for a short time.

Can be used as a meaty for corner okizeme, although its air version or 214S/H is preferable if Bridget has the time to set those up instead. Notably, from a 236K~P knockdown, Bridget has time to set up a meaty 236S and be ~+9, with advantage depending on weight and the combo preceding it.


j.236S/H

Another facet of Stop and Dash that makes it distinct from other projectiles. Unlike most airborne projectiles, j.236S travels entirely horizontally, allowing it to cover an extremely wide area in the air that discourages reckless airdashing. When used at the right height, j.236S can also high profile other projectiles and punish Bridget's opponent, allowing her to bypass its unfortunately low projectile priority to beat zoning.

j.236H will travel diagonally down before hitting a minimum height from the ground, upon which it will travel horizontally until it reaches its final position. It will never hit low enough to hit 6Ps, making it a fairly poor anti-air bait. It still covers a different angle to j.236S, and requires less precise control to use as an air-to-ground, meaning it is not entirely useless for Bridget.

When used close to the ground, j.236S/H offers great frame advantage on hit and block, allowing Bridget reset pressure from 6H or by using j.236S/H as an IAS Instant Air Special

When used in tandem with Rolling Movement, Bridget's offense becomes even more potent, allowing her to set up meterless F-Shiki or safe pressure extensions that build RISC. This is the ground work for Bridget's best setplay and is invaluable for her okizeme.

Also useful in CH combos and metered extensions, as the extra launch time on return allows Bridget to utilise her more highly damaging moves or extend a highly prorated juggle.

Can be used in neutral to present new threats, allowing Bridget to largely enhance any move's frame advantage on block, or shutting down the opponent's attacks for a split moment as it returns to Bridget. As a projectile that comes from behind the opponent, 236S/H bypasses zoning fairly well, as it will completely avoid clashing with projectiles that might interrupt and punish its 236 counterparts. The big asterisk is that Bridget'll have to avoid getting hit or blocking anything for two whole seconds, which can seem like an eternity in GGST, but is more than possible with Bridget's unique and evasive neutral.

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

Functions similar to an airdash with an attack. Using Rolling Movement, Bridget can run very strong mix-ups. She can cancel the air movement early using a whiffed Air Throw or j.P to go for a low or a throw, or cancel it later for an overhead attack. Bridget recovers immediately after Rolling Movement connects with her opponent, making it so advantageous on block that she can gaplessly chain into an air normal or even land and frame trap with 2K. From lower yo-yo sets, she can even 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.

From closer ranges, it can be difficult to react to and punish, however, allowing Bridget to use it as a pressure reset from any normal.

In neutral, Rolling Movement can be thought of as an additional air action Bridget can use on top of any of her universal options - she can use it like an airdash after using up her universal air options, like I-No's hoverdash to high profile certain moves in neutral, or even like a divekick to punish attempted anti-airs. The potential behind Rolling Movement's ability to drastically alter Bridget's air momentum is enormous, so be sure to experiment with it!

  • Can only be input when a yo-yo is currently active from Stop and DashGGST Bridget Stop and Dash Overlay Air.pngGuardAllStartup15RecoveryTotal 38Advantage-4. Flies directly towards the yo-yo's position, even if it is behind her.
    • Bridget's momentum will not cease even if she passes the yo-yo's position, but rolling for long enough will cause her to fall slowly.
  • Holding K will make Bridget pull back to a higher angle, and delay the movement. This has no effect on the attack or movement's properties,
  • After startup, cancellable into any air movement, Normal, Special, Overdrive, or Burst. Roman Cancelling during this time will result in a Blue Roman Cancel. It is not possible to FDC "Faultless Defense Cancel", by buffering and holding 2 attack inputs, it automatically cancels an airdash into an air normal and instantly begins Faultless Defense. This cancels the airdash to land faster, without performing an attack. Note that only pressing the FD macro isn't sufficient; the player must press either two attack buttons or an attack button and the FD macro together..
    • Cancelling Rolling Movement will cause Bridget to start falling quickly, as she would from an ordinary jump.

Bridget's dedicated invincible reversal.

Bridget lacks an invincible Overdrive, and instead has a DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion., for better and for worse. 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 Starship will not self-combo properly when hitting from farther distances, losing some damage and any okizeme on hit.

  • Invincible startup, but can be thrown.
  • Cannot be Roman Canceled on whiff.
  • May whiff on very low extended hurtboxes.

In neutral, Bridget can approach extremely quickly, using her BrakeGGST Bridget 236KP.pngGuardAllStartup7Recovery19Advantage-6 and ShootGGST Bridget 236KK.pngGuardAllStartup3Recovery29Advantage-35 to support her options. It is, however, extremely committal. Once started, Bridget cannot stop, making it easy to punish. Speeding up and slowing down can effectively bait out whiffs, to make this safer, or stall for time to recover safely. While it can be very unsafe on block slowing down or using Brake can be very safe.

In pressure, Kick Start My Heart functions as a frametrap from almost any range. With its further Brake and Shoot frametraps, this supplements lengthy blockstring pressure at any time. However these leave Bridget at risk of punish.

An additional, safer frametrap from Kick Start My HeartGGST Bridget 236K.pngGuardAllStartup10Recovery9Advantage-20~+4, and a fast-moving poke.

With Kick Start My Heart's extreme speed, Brake can quickly use its large range, while remaining safe-on-block, and hitting low enough to defeat shorter counterpokes like 6P. On hit it launches the opponent far, with time to set up Stop and DashGGST Bridget Stop and Dash 214X.pngGuardAllStartup130RecoveryTotal 30Advantage~, but even with Roman Cancel it is difficult to combo from a distance. Unfortunately, it is easily punished at close-range.

In pressure, by cancelling into Kick Start My Heart and then Brake at a distance, it can be used as a safe, pressure-ending frametrap. Alternatively, Kick Start My Heart has such a long cancel window, Brake can be used as frametrap. Unfortunately you will be in throw-range giving very little room for varying the timing of Brake.

Bridget immediately flies up, and back down, causing anti-air attacks to whiff and be punished.

Bridget can make her aerial movement unpredictable and disrupt safe anti-airs like 6P, making it harder to challenging her jump-ins. It is also often very safe on block, unless landing at point-blank range. Unfortunately it is reactable, and easy to anti-air, making it dangerous if the opponent is not already challenging Bridget's air approaches.

This move also completely maintains Bridget's horizontal momentum, allowing you to set up Ambiguous Cross-up Describes an attack which may cross up, but also may not, depending on extremely subtle and often imperceptible differences in timing or spacing.s, including from Rolling MovementGGST Bridget 214K.pngGuardAllStartup20~38Recovery0Advantage+16 (Airborne) or the later frames of 6HGGST Bridget 6H.pngGuardAllStartup13Recovery13Advantage-12.

Slow command grab with enormous range, for use in pressure.

Can be special cancelled into, from both air and ground, with huge range, allowing Bridget to easily threaten a grab in blockstrings. However, it is very slow, and easily interrupted, including with Throw. While Rock the Baby has a comparatively short recovery to other command throws, any opponent who reacts will punish with high damage. While Throw normally gives better oki, used immediately after Stop and DashGGST Bridget Stop and Dash 214X.pngGuardAllStartup130RecoveryTotal 30Advantage~ this can combo meterlessly on hit, giving much better reward.

Despite appearance, the air version does not function as a practical air-to-air, due to its extremely small grab height. Bridget can theoretically use it to bait and punish reaction jump-outs, but there's little reason to do this, and it's not practical to set up.

  • Throwable on startup.
  • When grounded, will only grab grounded opponents. Holding P does not adjust timing.
  • When airborne, will only grab airborne opponents. Holding P will delay the grab during the descent. Will force an air throw if held for too long before landing.
  • Landing before the aerial Rock the Baby begins will perform a grounded grab.

Combo-ending Overdrive with interesting properties.

On Wall Sticks, Loop the Loop can break the wall for additional damage and Hard Knockdown, allowing Bridget to maintain pressure with a safe jump A very well-timed jump attack on a character who is rising from a knockdown. Your goal is to attack extremely close to when you land so that, if the character performs an invincible reversal attack, you will land and be able to block. The opponent is then forced to block your jumping attack, since reversaling doesn't work, which will give you some nice pressure and hopefully an opening.. While Loop the Loop is rarely worth using midscreen over a Roman Cancel, it does have the advantage of being unburstable and looking cool.

With 100% Tension, you can Roman Cancel to set up mix-ups on block with 2K and 5D that combo into Roger's final attack and are advantageous on block. Though expensive, it is a very threatening option for closing rounds and can lead to very high damage.

  • Hitting an opponent in the corner causes a Wall Break and leaves Bridget at +36 frame advantage afterwards.
  • On Roman Cancel, Roger's attacks continue independent of Bridget.
  • If Bridget is interrupted, Roger's attacks will still continue. (Beats some reversals and YRC)
  • Roger's initial attacks are smaller than Bridget's, making it possible to whiff some minor damage.

Anti-zoning and whiff punish tool, with some application in combos.

Roger flies across the stage directly towards the opponent, able to cut through any (meterless) zoning that would hold him back. Return of the Killing Machine is a versatile Overdrive that is useful both for starting and extending offense. Able to target opponents anywhere on the screen, it excels at punishing any commitments they may have made, and locks them down on block for Bridget to approach. It can be used in ranged pressure as a frametrap of sorts and at close range as a reset and extender, and can be used to extend combos as well. An easy move to throw out, its advanced applications are not to be slept on.

ROTKM has very high projectile priority and will destroy basically any meterless projectile with which it comes into contact, even if it has to pass through Bridget's opponent to do so. This can be particularly helpful in certain matchups, such as against Goldlewis' ThunderbirdGGST Goldlewis Dickinson Thunderbird.pngGuardAllStartup57Recovery34 TotalAdvantage-, where she can use 632146H on reaction to destroy the drone and avoid having to deal with his approach behind it. The air version can also be used as a less risky anti-anti-air than Roger DiveGGST Bridget j236K 1.pngGuardAllStartup25Recovery15Advantage-5 in situations where Bridget's opponent is under her and she has used her double jump or airdash.

Finally, ROTKM is a relatively fast move with low recovery that doesn't extend Bridget's hurtbox, so it can be used to punish a reckless fireball and finish a weak opponent off, or even just thrown out in the hopes of catching something or chipping them out if she has meter to spare. Be wary, however, that some characters possess the tools to punish this move, such as Sol with his Night Raid VortexGGST Sol Badguy 214S 1.pngGuardAllStartup15~31 [32]Recovery32 [26]Advantage-17 or some characters' own projectile supers.

Can be used in some long-range Wall Sticks to get a hard knockdown on wall break.

  • Hard knockdown on hit.
  • Roger continues to move forward indefinitely until he goes off-screen, hitting for a total 7 times on an opponent.
  • Roger flies in a straight line towards the opponent's position on activation. On contact with the floor, Roger will travel along the floor.
  • Forces wallbreak in the corner
