Overview

Dao-Long is a balanced character with quick charge inputs and a fast dash, allowing smooth transitions between zoning and offense. His projectiles and anti-airs have quick recovery, while his super (Shin Kyoku Ranbu) delivers high damage, juggling from any jump attack or confirming from most normals.

Attack

Kouryuu Ga ([4]6P): Use this projectile to build meter, deal chip damage, and create openings: throw a projectile and according to the range, quickly charge and use your anti-air special.

Riyuu Seishou (A+C): This palm attack is a reliable move for confirming specials and supers. For example: 2B > 2A x2 > A+C > Super.

2D: Safe depeding on matchup. Can be used as a frametrap to counter lights attacks or throw attempts. Also Super cancelable.

Defense

Senkyuu Tai ([2]8K): Excels at handling close range jumps. Can be followed by a super juggle if the opponent is hit at the peak of their jump.

close 5C and 5D: These normals can be followed up with a Super juggle confirm. Since you can throw with Back + C, it can also be used as an anti-air ~ throw option select.

Supers

Houshin Renpa ([4]646P): Goes through projectiles, also functions as a reliable super confirm from A+C

Shin Kyoku Ranbu ([4]646K): This Super is your primary option for air juggles and serves as a reliable confirm from normals and A+C

Renkyuu Tai ([1]319K): A vertical anti-air with invulnerable startup, though with limited applications. Mash the kick buttons for additional hits.

Tips

Dashes

Forward dash: Dao-Long's forward dash has a brief recovery, making it useful for closing the distance quickly (light blockstring > forward dash > throw).

You can also input a Super immediately after a dash : [1]66.46K.

Backdash: Dao-Long's backdash is a hop animation with invulnerable startup frames but slow recovery, so use it wisely

Fuzzy / Instant overhead

You can perform a fuzzy setup with jC > neutral jB. Neutral jump B is aso an instant overhead (though it doesn't work on all characters).

Throw Option select

Coupling Dash with Back Throw makes for an aggressive throw/anti-air option select. Useful for dealing with opponents who are trying to escape by jumping
