She actually seems to do good against atrocitus, batman and superman are the only characters that give her real trouble, but that's not bc she is lacking anything, they just have to much honestly.

In the heat of the moment it's very difficult for 99% of players to react to even slow moves like a F3. If I'm a player that predicts a F3 is coming, do I:
DBF is just practice, it really is. Why is it like this? I don't know, it's a fighting game thing. What I do know is that probably everyone has struggled with DBF at some point, and they can all deal with it just by practicing. It's hard at first, not so hard after even a short practice time.
Superman I feel like is manageable once you make the threat of low profiling and punishing f23 with pounce.
This. I remember the bill of reacting to Nightwing's 20+ frame 50/50 being sold. Everyone saying how easy it was to do, but noone would ever do it.
I can see it being tough if he can keep her out when e doesn't have dex out, I know you can dive the napalm if he whiffs it just outside of sweep range, you can d3 as well if you are close enough, I'll take it to the lab later and check her options. When dex is out you have to armor and pushblock a lot, and d3 his gaps so you waste most of his trait, keep pressuring on knockdown and always punish his wake ups, I feel like if you can keep the pressure going and stay on offense most of the time he is not able to get much of his game going and you have a better shot at winning the match.
A good atrocitus makes it extremely hard because if they play around cat and are shielding appropriately with cat out. Cheetah can't do much. Just have to make the most out of the f3/ji3 that you do land. Because believe it our not just walking back makes it extremely tough to open up atrocitus as you still have to be careful of blood tornadoes and his far forward advancing strings. He can walk backwards and keep you in check until he gets a new cat. And it is rinse and repeat.
You also have to remember the amount of meter atrocitus gains with his cat out. Cheetah doesn't gain much at all from his offense. He gets a ton of meter from all the dot breaths and maybe the cat shield he gets also gives him meter. I don't feel like cheetah can compete with the amount of meter he is able to gain. You can pressure him hard without cat, but he has a ton of tools to keep you in check imo. I did get the real master achievement off of an atrocitus however which I was pretty pumped about.
Also in response to this. You can't rely on d3 to negate his dex pressure. As if he is shielding himself appropriately with dex. It eats the d3 on his gaps. There isn't much to get a poke in during this time.
She is definitely been my favorite character so far. I hope this is the case. Just feel like when people understand the matchup she has a tough time doing things. I appreciate your optimism, I am currently in need of a lot of it. Lol.
I wish I could see you play to see what the issue is, but im serious when I say Cheetah is much better than you're giving her credit for.
Look man haha i feel where you guyz are coming from with all your statements totally. Alot of chars feel like they can force there will on you way easier, but im addicted to the long set mind games im having it feels rewarding and deep imo
heh
Out of curiosity, what would you consider braindead? I think this game is pretty honest compared to anything NRS has made.
I have only played cheetah sinch launch. Her damage is crazy, my downfall is maybe playing mainly friends. They know the weaknesses she has. I have explored alot of her options. She has different possible ways to utilize her tick throws. I have started to move away from the s1 starters as they can all just be ducked. Her mixup game is crazy. Where I struggle is I feel like she doesn't bring alot of the same tools that other characters in this game bring. Her low profile concept is extremely useful as you can d3 pretty much everything from a crossup ji2 on Batman to deadshots low rifle bullets to fates orb for great position.
Batarang +25
Bounce cancels are really nice. I probably don't use them enough. I do use them, but sometimes I feel like 2 mb f3 is better. I often get b2 from ducking and it comes out as the stupid upward claw. I will use s2 or a d1 into grab. Idk if you have had this issue. It has happened to me alot. I don't really understand it, but not the same damage output as you getting a mb throw out of the deal. I have tried to trade out inputs that could be confused in this manner.
Also thanks for the responses. I appreciate the input. Maybe I will hook up my console to my pc and record some games through twitch or something. I am always looking to improve so valuable information I will take. Criticism is also welcomed as it is only way to improve. Everyone has to improve at something, even the best.
Lmao, I know... I am posting from my cell phone. It autocorrected dex to sex for some reason. I edited the post.
A s+ tier nerf is all she needs to be a top character imo. Batman's batarangs are stupid, the upward one can cover the air and the ground in front of him, you can't dash or jump, and if he meterburns it lol full combo on hit and insane pressure on block. Not to mention his stupid jump 2, you cannot antiair that on reaction, not bc it is too fast, simply bc it beats everything, even if you know it's coming you are more likely to get beat or trade trying to anti air that, it also jails into his infinite + frames pressure.
