Question about Filia/BB

[Skymin50]

For Filia/Big Band, what's the assist I should use for each? Right now my current assists are Hairball H for Filia, and Beat Extend / Giant Step for Big Band. I'd love to know if I can change these, because I'm not too good on learning assists myself.

Filia:
It depends - obviously if you need a get-off-me assist you should use H Updo, but Hairball is good for pressure or confirming into combos. Those are the two most everyone uses, although I have seen some cr.MKs.

Big Band:
I personally use Beat Extend L, because it hits faster higher up than H. The other go-to assists are H Brass Knuckles or M A-Train, but for rushdown Beat Extend is probably the best choice.
Throw is also way better than people give it credit for being.

I'll consider Updo, because when playing Big Band having him get comboed into oblivion is something I don't desire. Didn't know Grab was even a thing, infact it totally crossed my mind. Thanks!
