3.Info on Gintoki
================
Gintoki is the main character from the comedic manga/anime Gintama.
Gintoki has naturally permed hair and often blames his lacking
love-life on it. He rides a scooter and has a bokuto instead of a
sword. Gintoki is a freelancer and will do anything for money.
He also has a sweet-tooth. In the past, he was a Joi
(someone who drove off the Amanto to protect the government). He
and Katsura Kotaro are the only mentioned survivors from the
Joi. The only reason Gintoki does not join Katsura again to fight
the aliens is that he does not like to fight alongside "gloomy
terrorists". 
 

================

4.Why Gintoki?
================
Gintoki has alot of unexpected moves which varys from close and
long range. But the main thing he is the best at is putting
constant pressure on his opponent and playing a good keep
away game. He is strong, quick and just plain cool.

8.Combos

================

Gintoki has almost no combos even with his 4 and 5 koma. But he does have very
short and damaging combos without the help of support komas.


COMBO #1
--------

First do a Neutral B then do a Forward+B then finally do a Neutral+B.
This combo is short but has good damage, especially on the last hit.



COMBO #2
--------

First do a Neutral B then do a Up+B then finally do a Neutral+B.
Just like the first one good and damaging.


COMBO #3
--------

( Only with 5 Koma )

First off start with his neutral B then after that do a forward+B ( Can be
replaced with up+b. ) This is a basic combo starter. After the second hit
press Neutral+Y to make Gintoki hit his opponent with some wood then
instantly after that do his Special A. This combo is easy, fast and does
a lot of damage and has a possiblity of a ring out.

WILL UPDATE WITH MORE COMBOS ASAP ( Just need to train with him some more )
--------

For Gintoki you want a support with long/mid range, since he is all about
pressure. Here are some komas that are good.

2 Koma Shishio ( Rurouni Kenshin ): Since Shishio comes out really fast this
is a good support. But whats more impressive is that when Shishio grabs his
opponent he raises them up first which gives you a quick time to get in more
extra hits.

3 Koma Trunks ( Dragonball Z ): Yes, Yes we all know how cheap he can be
but its for comboing. Comes out quick, great damage, really hard to counter
and aerial.

3 Koma Seiya ( Saint Seiya ): Same as Trunks really cheap but for comboing. 
Comes out quick, great damage, really hard to counter and aerial.

3 Koma Hitsugaya ( Bleach ): Since Hitsugaya freezes them Gintoki can use
some of his more lag specials.

3 Koma Sena ( Eyeshield 21 ): Stops movement and drains SP really good. 

2 Koma Satsuki ( Ichigo 100% ):
Using this with Gintoki's Special B on his 5 koma gives him a lot of health.

3 Koma Gotenks ( Dragonball Z ):
Comes out in the air and can be used in the air Gotenks will shoot a barrage
of energy blast in a downward angle. 
Good for keeping distance and ringouts.

There are tons more komas but these I think are the best choices

--------

Overall+Strategy: Gintoki's one weakness is lacking combos. He makes this
up by being able to put constant pressure on his opponents. People against
him will soon begin to be annoyed by him. He has some good specials but
most of them are good in multiplayer. Also Gintoki can heal himself which
is alwas a plus. So basically keep away from your opponent and start
throwing his bokuto, bombs and mini bombs. Occasionally get in close for
some quick hits then high-tail it out of there and use long range komas.
And try to quickly kill them by putting constant pressure.
Will update as soon as possible
Hope you enjoyed my faq.
