BBCSE/Iron Tager

Iron Tager

Overview

Health: 13,000
Guard Primers: 10
Play-style: Close range grappler
Movement Options: No double jump or air dash, backdash only

Drive: Magentism
Tager can magnetize opponents by making the opponent block (or get hit by specific attacks). When Tager magnetizes the opponent when already magnetized, the duration gets added on (max 960F). When the opponent is magnetized, certain attacks will pull in the opponent. After a period of time, the magnetism will disappear.
Normally, magnetism reduces at a rate of 1 point per frame, but while taking damage the rate changes to 1 point per 2 frames (when Tager gets up or techs, the rate goes back to normal). Magnetism does not decrease during superflash or hitstop.

In addition to Magnetism, Tager has an extra gauge: the Spark Bolt Gauge. This gauge fills up 1 point per frame (stops during hitstop and superflash) and is 1200 units big. When full, Tager can use the Spark Bolt attack.

Pros/Strengths:

Really good close range game
High damaging command grabs
High meter gain on magnetized opponents
High level pokes for easy confirms
Most invulnerable back dash in the game
Very effective at punishing bad judgement and unsafe strategies
Possesses the fastest projectile in the game

Cons/Weaknesses:

Big hit box allowing for fuzzy/unblockable setups
Lack of mobility causes us to be weak to zoning.
Takes time before we gain access to spark bolt.
High damage combos rely on corner or magnetism.
Requires great knowledge and patience to win at high levels.

Normal Moves

5A

The jab of science.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
460	190	80	86	7	3	7	+4	Click!

Tager's jab. slower than most characters but makes up for it with it's range. It's our standard starter up close. Doesn't chain by itself anymore but it has great frame advantage. Safest option after gadget finger.

5B

Now with color. And jump cancel.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
480	215	80	89	10	3	14	0	Click!

Tager's medium poke. a bit slow but it is a standing low with nice range and a big hitbox for catching jump outs. Jump cancelable and even on block.

5C

Chops!

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1000	414	100	92	15	4	18	-2	Click!

Tager's strong poke. Big range and big damage although it is a tad bit on the slow side. Use this for spacing or catching back dashes. Sadly you need to be a bit close to follow up without spark but don't be afraid to use this.

2A

Kinda of an anti air.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
400	165	80	86	8	3	9	+2	Click!

Tager's crouching jab. This move is used as a situational anti-air for really deep jump ins. Can only be followed up on counter hit.

2B

Monkey Kick, good recovery for tick throw attempts.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
600	269	85	89	11	3	9	+5	Click!

Tager's crouching medium. A low that hits really close but has a lot of frame advantage, also has better proration than 5B leading to more damaging possibilities.

2C

Fatal "I don't care anymore" Anti air.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1200	496	90	92	15	2	39	-22	Click!

11~14F head invul
floats on hit

fatal possible

High risk hi reward anti air, really big hit box and on counter hit leads to really good damage midscreen, on counter hit it becomes untechable until they hit the ground. Sadly it is a bit slow with the same speed as 5C and since its head invul ends before its first active frame it tends to trade a lot in Tager's favor. Use it only if you are sure it will hit as getting hit when you do this leaves you crouching and that usually leads to a lot of pain.

6A

Not too useful anymore.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
800(1000)	331(414)	80	89(94)	19(52)	7	37	-27	Click!

Tager's forward A attack. When this attack makes contact with a enemy it usually pulls them in letting you set up for your mix up. But when they are magnetized it allows you to pull them in from anywhere on the screen by holding the button down. It has super armor to everything but lows so you can use this on unsuspecting pray and release it before they hit you with a low. Usual combo filler otherwise.

6B

Forces crouch.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
960	397	70	92	24	2	28	-11	Click!

Tager's overhead, Can chain indefinitely as long as you make contact with your opponent, due to its 70 proration you can't get a lot off of it but it still is a pretty good mix up.

6C

Make sure you get the license plate number.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1500	621	90	80	28	2	33	-16	Click!

Big slow overhead that breaks 1 primer. Has a lot of range but it moves Tager forward putting him at risk, usually combo filler. Because of it's 55% same move proration you can only usually use this once in a combo unless you go straight to Magna-tech wheel.

3C

Combo Staple.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
760	314	90	88	14	3	22	-6	Click!

Tager's sweep, causes emergency tech on hit but when they are magnetized you can use collider to abuse the new untech time this move has. Has a lot of untech time, usually to special cancel to gadget in most cases. Has 10% same move proration so after 2 of these go straight to gadget.

Counter Assault

Stomp in the nuts.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
0	0	50	92	16	2	37	-20	Click!

Tager's counter assault, It is a overhead but don't tell people that, dangerous on whiff/block.

j.A

The best move nobody uses.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
500	207	90	86	7	3	9	--	Click!

Fast air to air with good p1 and untech time, use this if you know you can stuff something or as combo filler.

j.B

Relaunches FTW.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
700	289	90	89	12	9	12	--	Click!

Tager's air to ground and occasional air to air. Due to its hitbox this move is Tager's jump in of choice and it is very good, also otg some characters midscreen. This move also gattlings into j.A so you can make going in with j.B a bit more safe.

j.C

A real man's anti air.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1050	434	90	92	13	5	12	--	Click!

Headbutt! Tager's air to air and his way of air dashing. Using this move in the air pushes Tager forward making his jump cover more distances, you can vary the timing on this so you can go all sorts of distances. On counter hit it links to j.2C quite easily.

j.2C

The people's elbow.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1200	496	90	92	21	while falling + 2L	18	--	Click!

Tager's down heavy, it stops you in the air for a brief moment and changes his hitbox. Beware this move is not safe on block but it does break a primer. Use this to beat hasty anti air's or for easy primer breaking. If you use this move before touching the ground it becomes instant and is -1 on block. -1 means it is safe.

Drive Moves

5D

The punch of science.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1100	455	85	92	23	7	20	-4	Click!

Tager's normal D attack, slow but makes up for this by having a big hitbox and active frames. On hit it puts on 300F worth of magnetism and pulls magnetized opponents into it. On normal hit it calls your opponent to stagger, meaning they have to tech out to avoid getting hurt much more. On CH it wall bounces giving us a meterless mid screen combo.

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1200	496	100	92	26	10	24	-1	Click!

Tager's crouching D. A head charge that has a large amount of active frames and really good starting proration. On CH you can follow up no matter the distance. Use this move to cover ground on an opponent who doesn't want to move around a lot on someone who is magnetized to cover distance. Adds 300F of magnetism.

800	331	60	80	13	5	20	0	Click!

Tager's back D. A body blow from Tager, safe on block so if you want something air tight in your pressure this move is the attack to use. On hit/block it makes your opponent magnetized, on CH it makes them wall bounce like 5D, it can stuff a lot of close range normals because of its hitbox which pushes Tager's hurtbox back. Has really bad P1 so don't expect a lot of damage from this.

j.D

Damage	Heat Gain	P1	P2	Startup	Active	Recovery	Frame Adv	Hitbox
1120	463	100	92	21	3	18	--	Click!

Tager's jumping clap, it is a decently space air to air and air to ground, due to its p1 this attack is deadly in the right hands and even more dangerous with meter. Fish for a counter hit with this. This attack is a bit slow so space this move well.
