Bryan’s Gameplan

Bryan is a unique character that can be played both defensively and offensively. However, the offensive playstyle doesn’t tend to be as successful as the defensive one. The ability to read your opponent’s moves will also help you greatly, as most of Bryan’s staple moves are counterhit ones. Most of his moves can be optimized and timed to get the best possible launches. His arsenal of moves can also let you exert considerable pressure even in the most unfavorable matchups.

Bryan’s Guide Conclusion

Bryan is a character that can easily suit your style of play. The “correct” way is to bait your opponent into making mistakes and punish them with a plethora of counterhit options. But you can also disregard that entirely, grab the initiative into your own hands and utilize the small yet extremely annoying pool of hits that will leave your opponent increasingly frustrated.
