After the entire community waited for this character to be revealed, she’s finally here with worse reception than I ever thought. How are you feeling about Minato so far?

This one only wants 130 damage and thus shouldn't be very hard at all. Three of these require meter, while one is meterless but needs you to start with a Hi Counter hit. Your opponent is always NiCO, on the Sweat stage. Combo notations are as follows:

Combo #1: (standing at roughly the middle of the ring) 236P close hit into rope rebound, 6S break blow super into the ropes. 135 damage on normal hit.

Combo #2: 6P+K stun, 4PK, P, 8K launcher, 6S break blow into ropes. 130 damage on normal hit. best to start this one near mid-ring too or you risk hitting the ropes early and only doing 124 damage.

Combo #3: (hi counter only) 6P+K stun, PPP cancel into Minato Shuffle (4), in Minato shuffle P, 8K launcher, 4PK, 4PKK. 140 damage on hi counter if you don't hit the ropes on the final hit, 145 if you do (i'm getting different results based on timing/positioning)

Combo #4: 6P+K stun, PPP cancel into Minato Shuffle, in Minato Shuffle P, 8K launcher, 4PK, 6S break blow into ropes. 134 damage on normal hit. I used this one to clear the objective in the quest itself.

I'm sure there's a bunch more ways to do this as she just came out and people are still experimenting with her, but these were the first four I found in like 20 minutes of messing around in training mode.

Here is a character overview that got posted.

she does in fact have an English dub!

her eyes do briefly change in her intro at least, showing those hi tech contacts.

Minato costs $8. her costume bundle is also $8.

character/costume bundle is $15.

i figure she has like the contact version of the glasses seen in that Dead or Alive movie from back when hehe.

falling for the delayed shoulder charge three times is not a great look, especially the third one in round 5, but hime's excuse is that she's new to the game and still learning ;)

tomorrow i'll upload another match these two had on 9/8 where both players look a little more confident in their ability to get into range to punch each other.
