Archetype

Overview

Miguel is a close-range brawler that likes to get in his opponent's face and pressure them with effective pokes and mix-ups from his Savage Stance.

He is a solid character with decent tracking, combo damage, counterhit tools, okizeme, pressure, and exceptional movement. He struggles with long-range punishes and lacks moves with built-in evasion. Miguel wants to be either right in front of the opponent or dancing just out of range to whiff punish with his good hopkick or f+4,2.

NOTE: Miguel having short jab range is a meme and incorrect. He has high jabs, kind of the opposite of Kazumi's jabs. The only range issues he has are with 2 (for i11 punisher 2,1) and d+1 (duck jab).
