Faust has more strong anti-airs than any character would ever need.

Learn to use 6P, it's a universal anti air, kind of how you'd use DP in SF to anti air

nago, you'll love 2H, and he's easily the most grounded character in the game

Most grounded character I feel like it’s Leo lol

If 6p is so good why didnt they make 6P 2?

the humble 6k

What you made here is not a list based on your skill. Its a list for your friend to find out what characters hes not used to fighting against.

That would at least explain lee and the bears being up so high and some great meta fighters that show up more often in ranked fights scoring lower.

Interesting that Lee was your top 3 performing characters.

I just need my tomboy karate kid to destroy all kaz mains

This is actually fuckin hilarious. Sincerely, a Jack main

with some of these you just didn't find the cheap strats.

Pika. His fast aerials that chain real easy seem perfect for what you looking for. You could also use Mario for some easy combos. For characters that pack a punch you might want bowser who has one of the best fairs in the game.

If you like spending time in the air Falco is pretty awesome... The highest jump in the game

People will hate the truth, but ness. His neutral revolves around spamming fair and then maybe djc psi mag n-air or up air, and n-air kills at at 90% on ledge.

As much as I’d hate to bring another Ness player into the world. Ness.

Ness, I play Ness and his air game is great almost all his arials are safe on shield, multi his, great spacing and every single one will kill around 100.

His movelist had more instructions than the owner's manual to a Buick, I respect Lei players

9 also applies to things like Claudio's starburst. As for 7, I'm not sure yet. On the one hand, it's a state all characters can be in, but on the other, it's something you might want to enter as Lei. I think I might give Lei an exception actually.

Just hit 3+4 on victor :)

I know that it's a gray area, and I saw some other guides or posts referring to them as stances while some others didn't. I decided to consider them as stances as they modify the properties of several moves and there is an animation associated with them, so they do give characters access to unique moves with unique properties just like the rest of the stances.

Had no idea Steve was up there with Yoshimitsu damn

I also count Avalanche Flip as a stance as it is not an attack and it can be followed up by different unique attacks.

I followed these assumptions to decide what is and isn't a stance:

1. Stances that have only one possible move while in the stance were not considered as separate stances.
2. Attacks, even ones with multiple possible follow-ups, were generally not considered to be stances.
3. Back towards enemy was considered to be a stance for characters who have multiple moves out of it.
4. Crouch dash was considered to be a stance for characters who have multiple moves out of it.
5. Different or transformed forms of a character were considered to be stances, except for heat and rage as they apply to all characters.
6. Full Crouch and Side Step were not considered to be stances since all characters can enter these states and a lot of them have multiple moves out of them.
7. While down (playing dead) was not considered a stance for characters that can deliberately transition into it.
8. A stance needs to have some unique character movement animation associated with it.
9. A state which does not give access to new moves but modifies the properties of more than 1 existing move can be a stance, depending on how much it modifies them.

Depends on your character, your team, and context. When you can die as quickly as 4 seconds flat, a lot of fights can be lost in this game by simply not having priority. That's why third-partying is so strong. So many games I've seen lost by a third team coming in and killing the 2 teams that have been fighting.

Consider in a vacuum two strike deku's of equal skill fighting each other. If neither of them miss a single ability, then the winner is whoever shot first. Mobility characters end up having this advantage because they set their position faster. But that's usually balanced by lower health.

If you really want to sweat this game out, you gotta memorize stats. It's all a numbers game. Knowing the potential dmg output of your opponent as well as the amount of total dmg you could potentially dish out. You can use that information to determine if you should fight or flee. Do you know how much dmg your character's alpha does per level?

The reality is, skill and knowledge topple any other factor in this game. You can only go so far with one or the other though.

Strike Dabi: keep a good distance away from him and use your long range attacks, his beta has 2 charges so dodging that and killing him at a distance are your best bet, his alpha is really good but i rarely see strike dabis use it unless desperate

Hawks: when his in the air his most likely using his alpha dodge those and once that runs out he will go for the beta same as Dabi his beta has 2 charges if you dodge both or get hito nce and dodge the follow up he wont be able to fly and you can kill him, (he cant fly because he used is SA when using his alpha)

Nejire: honestly i have no idea i struggle alot with her and usually wait for her to stop flying or fly low enough for my beta or gamma to land (am an overhaul main)

How i felt i had one match yesterday night there was no Hawks, no Strike Deku’s, no Nejire’s in the lobby and only 2 Strike Dabi’s and me and 2 randoms decimated Half the lobby. I’m like hmm when there is no meta in the lobby i do surprisingly well imagine that.

Devil Jin would be higher on my list lol Getting combos from hellsweep is so cheap

I would say jack and Claudio were easy because people are unfamiliar against the matchup, while Katarina and noctis benefit from that and ease of use.

Can you give some advice on playing Claudio? I am at the bottom of ranks and I feel like he lacks a lot of cheesy stuff that overperform at this level (no good lows, throws, or strings).

When DvJ is the only mishima not on the top 5 hardest but also on easiest. Just shows how damn stronger he is than the others.

May I ask where you would rate Lili? Also Hwoarang as I see a lot of them in red/low purple but never higher.

Can you post the player info screenshots as well? I want to see how many matchs were played for each character.

A lot of people still think that Victor was meant to be a noctis successor, but I honestly think he's an even split between noctis and Negan in terms of gameplay and moves. He has negan's rising 1, and his stance pressure is fairly similar. On noctis' side, besides the general aesthetic, he has the unblockable, the 2,2,2,2 stuff, and just wacky teleportation in general

tbh i think they should adjust it right now becuase characters like Jin and Wukong are extrememly strong over the abyss and there is almost no avoiding it in the new expanded map. IMO glider heat is a good system but you should still get spike if you get hit with your glider out. Giving all characters a way to spike players if they catch them off guard. I'd also change dunks to be more consistent, they either all dunk you straight or all push you down a certain altitude. There is alot of guess work in abyss fighting right now which makes it hard to learn and follow.

The general reason is that melee hunter would normally be at a huge disadvantage because they can get hit but can't hit back. Having a dunk gives them a tool to be threatening over the abyss even without the range.

It's not a new mechanic, but before you could spike anyone with only one hit. Now only dunkers can do it, which feels like shit against any character that isn't kingpin.

It has been a mechanic in older versions as well, not a new one

It depends on the character first if you can still fight then over abyss even tho they have a dunk(assuming you aren't playing a dunker) (The characters at the top can be fought over abyss safer than the ones I put lower) Oath: has a dunk on his ult but has big cast time, small range, and is massively turn restricted so easy to dodge.

Kp: kp has pretty low mobility so most characters can pretty easily keep their distance. As you play you'll start to notice it's cast time and can dash before it is finished casting. You can also work on keeping your distance without dash. I tend to use my dash as my last option.

(Now we reach the characters where it is strongly discouraged you fight over abyss) Brall: his cast time is pretty obvious so you can pretty easily tell when he will want to dunk. But to problem comes with making sure you notice his dunk. He can very easily catch you off guard. You must use your dash to didge his dunk if he is directly on top of you, it is not an option. Make sure you remember to glide afterwards if you manag to dodge the dunk but still get hit by the outer circle. There have been times I'd forget to let go of my dash on hudson after dodging the ineer circle but getting hit by the outer circle so I just fell into the abyss.

Wukong: his dunk makes him stationary while he charges it up. It has an audible sound que that you can use to keep your distance. Sometimes it is better to dash towards the wukong when he is dunking. He will normally try to dash further away to catch you running. He cannot do full 180s so if you get behind him you are safe from his dunk. If you are in the danger zone of his dunk you have to be fast to get out of it cus his dunk is the fastest dunk, but that is to compensate for it making him stationary. Dealing with his dunk is all about spacing well.

Jin: NEVER FIGHT JIN OVER THE ABYSS IF POSSIBLE, engraved that into your mind. His dunk is the hardest to dodge to where some characters literally cannot dodge it. It has cloae to no cd cus he can prime the dunk(it's on his q2) and by the time he actually dunks his dunk is up again so even if you did dodge it unless you have another dash you're cooked. And you can rarely if ever spike him cus his lmbs cancel his downward momentum. He is literally oppressive over abyss.

I probably did not need to write full explanations on each dunk but I kinda felt like it 🤷‍♂️ little long

So glad there nerfed her damage. She would have been walking around with a 200+ damage Clap

Oh look, another Mirio getting stuck in a sudden fight he can't win.

Never seen that before 🫠 /s

Kendo player scare me because either they're masochists or they're about to hit me with a wombo combo so hard that I take pain irl

As usual, the best assault character
