i have a very important question for you all......
Whats your preferred trait position, up behind, up infront, down behind, or down front? i generally go with the default but i feel like i should figure out which works best at certain times.
LONG POST INCOMING
Depends on the matchup for me. At first I thought the air trait was superior, but each one has it's uses.
For example, ground roomba
last longer and
controls the ground game. Works great against characters without projectiles (or bad projectiles ex. robin's beatarang) because their few options are to either sit their and block, hop over it, or mb roll. If they hop over it, any air NB or ground diagonal NB will hit them back into it for a free dash-up b3 punish. MB rolll can be reacted to with 23.
Thus, in most cases this allows Cyborg to zone longer and get more meter, and control neutral. My favorite aspect of ground roomba is setting it down, dashing forward and doing NB cancels while roomba is following behind because you get some sick setups and build a ton of meter on block.
Air roomba controls the air game and projectile game. Best to use against zoners in general, characters with leaps (Grodd, Hellboy, Brainiac, Cheetah, etc.), and also on block to force the opponent to respect follow up options. It can also be used to make grapple safe, and as an insurance policy if your opponent lands a hit on you.
There's is honestly still a lot to explore with roomba. I still learn something new every time I use it.
