Jacqui is probably the worst. I'm not sure what is going on. I've tried to figure it out. I was interested in trying to play her, but she made no sense to me at all. I was getting bodied by one last night and for whatever reason the dude decided to switch to Scorpion just because. I was like "Yes." I got no problems playing Scorpion and started winning those.
Subzero is just free party on my everything. There is always an overhead happening. It seems like I should be blocking it, but it never happens. Just non stop. I feel like a lot of the people playing him are hyper ADD or hopped up on something. Lots of really animated position dancing by people that clearly have faster brains than me. Of course I think all he has to do is toss some stuff out and try to find good sucker moments for slide or MB iceball.
Scarlet I can't beat. A good person with her projectiles makes me feel a bit like I'm playing IJ2 and I couldn't ever rise above the zoning meta in that game. It's not near as bad, but it can be work getting in and once there she has some long attacks. I've run into players that just sort of repeat a set pattern and it always works on me. It automatically catches most attempts to close the gap grounded or in air. I get the feeling it works so well, that when I do get going players sometimes seem like the don't know much else. I've done the lab thing after, I get what I should have done. FB's may be involved, but now I forget because my memory sucks and stuff leaks right out after a night's sleep. I'll have to go learn what to do for the fourth time so I can forget it all over again.
Lui Kang is honorable mention. I can't with that f43 business. I've studied it. I've practiced FB's, pokes, counter on low fireball, MB fireball, but it's all too much to guess against. You can't challenge the startup, all the ideal answers are different, poking out isn't remotely discouraging , and bad guessing can end with you eating a KB. And on top of it you have to worry about parry. I can't keep up with that in the slightest. It's just auto lose forever if someone knows how to play that game.
EB drives me a little nuts. I think something in me keeps thinking slide is always coming on the next hit. I'm always tapping down at some point and it's trouble town. Seeing slide coming in training seems easy enough, but in match I can't see it happen soon enough. Maybe I'm too old, or online woes are for real.
Kabal seems fair or whatever, but is frustrating to deal with. The general safety with safe reach is hard to find a way past. I don't feel like I can honestly complain about him, but I want to.
I haven't fought enough Sonya's to care, but she seems like she could use a nerf blast to one of her things. Like not having the best zoning, or like making her unsafe commit just a wee bit more unsafe. I think I have 2 frames to punish. Scorpion does something risky and you have week to tell him it was a bad idea. I'm not asking for that, but another frame or two seems reasonable.
I win lost against Jax is probably inline with my average, but he tuckers me out fast. I can't keep up with all of that for too many fights before my brain overloads and I start losing from mental exhaustion.
There. Have I complained about everyone and blamed the cast for not winning?
