Character Descriptions.....

As a new player I think it would be advantageous if a description was written for each character in terms of their play style, average damage output, strengths, and weaknesses. I think this would be really handy for new players trying to suss the best character for them.............. I know it would for me?

Well a good way to get a lot of info on specific charaters is to go into the forums for the desired characters, there you will get all the info you want and then some, but if you want it here trek me the character and I may be able to help if I know enough about the character

It feels like I've played through lots of characters and still don't feel a fit.............. and not being able to recognise how they play well etc.

It would just be handy to know strengths v weaknesses so I can make an informed decision who to play. I've played with Sonya for ages but feel my execution with her is very inconsistent so feel I know have to drop her because inconsistency online.

It makes it even more difficult to identify strengths v weakness with all the variations etc lol

Hmmm, well what do you like in a character? Do you like to get in and do some damage or mix up the fuck out of them, or play at a distance and keep them away with far reaching normals or projectiles?

I like being aggressive with good mix ups - I also like playing mind games.

Problem I have is that when I pressure I get poked out of everything often due to inconsistent execution. For example, with Sonya I would do the B1, 4 xx MS, 21, but 75% of the time online she would miss the 21U4 string after, so I would get punished. It was almost like it was so inconsistent online. So I would take a ton of damage due to combos missing.

I like characters who do good damage but not execution heavy............ well more like that their combos are more consistent online.

I do think an overall character description for each character would be handy, breaking down variations then.

Hmmm well there are no rush down characters with good mix ups that aren't execution heavy, with Mkx you need to bite the bullet and try and up your execution with them

Yea I understand that, just seems so inconsistent online. Almost feels you are penalised online for not playing a execution simple character.

Anyway, this thread is going off point now, turning into pick me a character thread lol :) thanks though :)

Reptile. He's got easy combos a lot of mind game set ups. Only problem is you have to learn how to do match ups for he is very heavy on knowing your opponent

I play reptile as a secondary, his combos are not very consistent online which was one of the requirements
