BAIKEN - IN DEPTH Combo Guide (Guilty Gear Strive)
Showcasing many of Baiken combos for diverse situations. This guide is longer than normal beacuse it covers a lot of combo options and, in a way, shows some of her combo theory. Baiken is a really fun character that is focused on playing neutral with her amazing pokes and tools. After CH she can make good conversions and can output respectable damage on her enemies. With her, you should prioritize getting an hard knockdow with 2d/41236h or breaking the wall to mantain the pressure. Combo notations bellow:
(Anji is set to 5p out of pressure)
(Most combos were not discovered by me)
