Orchid is such an awful character. super basic, obvious attacks, easiest to break even when mashing , worst mix ups, hella punishable, and she can't see her own toes.
fire cat is awesome, also " coming through" is hype. But I'v never even played her yet :p or own the game

It would be interesting to see what people's thoughts are on why they placed characters where they placed them.

Like for example: I put X character here because while they have weaknesses they go even with every other character and elaborate on why those weaknesses keep them lower than a higher character.

I think that's pretty good for stirring more fruitful conversation and debate.

It usually comes down to that her frame data is not as good as others and so just about everything is punishable. I think like Sinestro her instinct/trait makes her a different character - too bad you only build instinct meter by taking damage/combo breaking (more risk). She's def no Sheeva tho

Because reasons

Honestly, she's not as "easy" to win with. Her 3/4 screen move is punishable, and all her moves sans charged heavy rekka are negative frames on block.
All mitigated by the fact that her instinct turns that right around on its head and lets her have 30 seconds of rekkas and that when in instinct, her KV meter builds slower, which in itself means more damage.

I've not really had any problems against anyone using her, but i didn't just pick up fighting games.
