Heita

= Background =

Heita Zinnai (spelled as Jinnai in Big Bang Age) is a recruitable character in Big Bang Age and a playable character in Big Bang Beat and Big Bang Beat Revolve.

As "a man aiming to be a man" and one of the students seeking to fight against Agito of the Dark's reign of terror, Heita is one of the first students to join Rouga Zanma, becoming one of the Wolf Fang Brigade's founding members. Heita is excitable and determined to become stronger, and to win the heart of his and Rouga's class representative, Sanae Hibiki. His overall weakness makes it difficult for him to win in most fights he finds himself in; however, his determination to see his goal through is practically unmatched, and he will get up no matter how many times he's knocked down.

General Strategies
Heita isn't the total joke that he was in Big Bang Beat anymore, but even with a number of improvements to his game he still takes some time to use effectively. His normals have average range, but he can go into combos as quickly as anyone else in the cast once he confirms a hit; 41236C and 63214C are both good enders for combo strings, though the Knuckle is a little less safe than the double kicks. His fireball has pretty bad recovery, but is OK for stopping an enemy cold at a moderate distance, and if 214A is worked into a combo, it' s a good setup for the j.214D super. 63214A is surprisingly one of Heita's best moves when used appropriately, as it has 1-hit autoguard to let him get in close. Once he's there, his options are based entirely on the situation but are generally flexible enough for him to do something good.

As far as supers go, 214D on the ground is basically Heita's best bet for finishing off a string. 623D is a bit difficult to work into combos unless the opponent is close, and j.214D is a bit tricky due to its semi-steep angle of descent but is a strong finisher for air combos.

Of all the characters in the game, Heita is likely the one that reaps the most benefits from Big Bang Mode, since it transforms him into the super-powerful Super Heita. His normals and specials become much faster, and with the unlimited super meter of Big Bang Mode, he can put his powered-up supers to devastating use. What makes Big Bang Mode even more useful for Heita, and even worse for his enemies, is the fact that he can use his B-Power taunt to extend its duration, up to a maximum of three times. A good Heita with one star and a Big Bang Mode in the wings is simply dangerous; two or more stars and the round can effectively be called lost for the opponent.
