Burst

Here is a quick overview of characters that are useful for Burst setups.

Overview

Dark Burst is primarily made of a group of selfish attackers. Typically most will be used as 0 button or 1 button slots. As a result, characters with either skill nukes on normal attacks, boosted normals, flurry, or strong teamwide buffs reign supreme.

Characters who’s primary purpose on teams is to deal lots of damage.
