Discussion Characters/variations you wish you could use but cant

like the title says, what are some characters or variations you wish you could use but can't? For example I love lui Kang but man iaf and his cancels have me giving up on him each time. he's so hype to watch though :'(

Displacer, I can't consistently jail f12b2 ex tele consistently and even the bnb's give me trouble. I also need to consistently watch my stamina and good damage withouth stamina is hella hard. Guess I'll try bootleg teleport ethereal...

I play kenshi a lot but usually use possessed because I know my friend doesn't have fun vs balanced zoning.

I love balanced kenshi

Displacer is well worth the grind, keep at it!

I started out a Reptile main but Nimble seems so daunting to pick up compared to the relative simplicity of Deceptive and Noxious, guess that's my pick.
 
I've labbed A-List for hours. I've basically accepted the fact that I'll never be able to do these cancels. SD and Fisti till the end!!

Tier Whore. BS, GM, Mystic etc.
Dude I promise you, my execution is repulsive and disgusting, and if I can do them cancels, then so can you. I'm telling you, just give it a minute.
I'll try but having the worst defense in the gane isn't appealing to me.

Oh I know displacer is worth it, when you look at him on paper he is extremely good: safe corner 50/50's into restand for good damage and insane corner carry and mobility. The execution is just on another level, I can jail easily with liu kang and consistently hit two frame links with lao but teleport jailing and bnb's on characters like ferra/torr is proper hard.
Nice to see you're liking nimble! Those corner combos are super satisfying

Cassie. I don't think I have ever been so disappointed by not being able to play a character in any game I have played. She basically plays to every weakness I have. I cannot play her no matter how hard I try.

Bo is another... I really wanted him in the game, but he has no reliable zoning variation and he is so slow that I find him hard to use. The lack of a non ex projectile kills me too. I am going to keep at him though...

Special Forces Sonya. I can see that she has a ton of dirt and, in theory, I can see how she's amazing but I cannot make her work for the life of me.
