Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
The above mentioned 3-Komas are known as The Big Three. To elaborate: Seiya 3 delivers a wide flurry of punches from over the opponent: hard to dodge and block, and a guaranteed knock-down. Trunks 3 is fast, deals a decent bit of damage, and knocks the enemy away--perfect for ring-outs, as it's also hard to block. Sena 3 is fast (i.e., unblockable), flips your opponent in the opposite direction, and stops them from moving; there are no koma to help prevent movement-seals.
As far as Battle Koma goes, Dio Brando strongest version is considered to be this, thanks to his useful ZA WARUDO and high priority and nicely damaging Rapid Fire Fistcuff. Then there's Taikoubou who is a real bitch to approach thanks to his normals. Then there's his 6 Koma Special 1 which deals MASSIVE damage, and almost always guarantees Ring-outs.
Don't forget Satsuki 2 in Jump Ultimate Stars.
Scrappy Mechanic: For Jump Ultimate Stars guarding is extremely effective against everything that doesn't have the guard break ability since you take no damage from anything, including specials. This can become very frustrating during some of the later missions where AI guards when you attack or just playing competitive multiplayer where your opponent will probably just block and drop something undodgeable on you. To top it off, special attacks that have been known to break solid defences in a character's respective manga doesn't carry the effect over. Very few characters actually have special attack with the guard break quality. Doesn't help that most regular guard breakers are slow enough for your target to stop and sucker punch you.
