ESSENTIALS OF BAYONETTA - A Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Bayonetta Guide

Welcome to the ESSENTIALS OF BAYONETTA ; a guide made by yours truly.

In this guide, we will be looking through TEN different sections together such as neutral, advantage stage, understanding her intricate shield pressure, DI & SDI with counter play and more ! The goal of this extensive, lengthy guide is to create a first contact with Bayonetta and approach basic but important elements in a introductory manner for beginners with enough details and nuances for intermediate players.
I will also add that this guide covers mostly general information with some specificities but nothing too MU-driven, like the usage of some niche tools that become the main focus in certain MUs like down throw against Snake for instance. So, forgive me if I don't cover absolutely EVERYTHING.

Within the description box, you'll find timestamps (sub-timestamps are in the comments), links to mentioned ressources with some additional ones and my socials !
Also, back air is missing in the listing right before entering the move set section... I didn't notice it, I hate myself.
