Pick your perfect 5 (and 2 least)

Let's live ,love and let loose a little :p
Just bare with me for a sec.(or 30)

Okay so I've being asking people lately what is the 5 most important elements you look for in a character (and 2 least elements) that suits you the most.
It interests me more than it should as I love how we all differ.

So basically I have a list of 18 most common elements that people look for and tools characters have.

Although this is vague I don't want it to be too vague by just saying "Offence, Defence or Space control"
If you want any of those aspect then make them with the tools I have given. That's the fun.


Before you start here are 5 things to note

1.Just assume your character looks perfectly how you would want him/her to look

2.This list will be prioritised.
Meaning what you have list as number 1 will be most important and will be strongest tool

So for example if you pick "Anti Airs" as your No 1 that AA would be like Mileenas Roll where it will AA almost everything, lead to a combo and not cost any resource. When if you have as No 5 it will just be a decent AA.

3.Don't just look at these elements as singular choices but look at how they compliment each other depending on your choices.

For example 1 you have "Pressure" and "Mobility" in your top choices then that means that mobility is focused on getting you in as opposed to Example 2 if you have "Zone" and "Mobility" then the mobility will be focused on keeping you out this depending on what number each is placed.
Of course you can have all 3 of these but just keep in mind of note number 1.

4.You can only list an element once!
Listing Mix ups 5 time won't do shit

5.Keep it just within the elements I mention below. So just 5 most important and 2 least important.

Don't add in your own choices, if anything get creative and try use the tools to replicate your own choices.
Plus for the love of god I don't want to be seeing shit like:

1.Wake ups
2.Okizeme
3.Pressure/AA

Sigh. That just ruins the fun

Also there are obviously things missing from
the list that I don't feel are as important or make other choices redundant like DOT, Meter drrain, Parries etc
I will add a spoiler below for the ones that may need clarification.

Okay thanks for going through the boring stuff now the fun stuff


How to lay it out
Remember pick 5 in order that are most important as in
1._____ = strongest aspect
2._____
3._____
4._____
5._____ = decent / solid

And then 2 of the least important.
Does not matter the order of these 2 you list
1._____
2._____


I'll give my list as example below if interested

Best thing about this is to see how different your list is from others, you may get the same elements as someone else but getting exact same order is more rare than you would think.

Try not to make the most OP character but to make the most appealing character to you. So have fun. No tension or picking on peoples choices in here or I'll ban Storm again.

Here are your choices
See it kind of as Subway for your perfect fighting style :D

..............................................................................
1.Damage . . . . 2..Wake up . . . . 3.Armour

4.Pressure
. . .. .5.Mobility . . . . . 6.Anti Air

7.Meterbuild

. . . . 14.Set ups . . 15.Cmd grabs

16.Okizeme
. . .17.Aerial. . .18.Fast normals
..............................................................................

Some elements clarified if interested
Damage - Does not count chip Dmg

Pressure - frametraps/staggers

Safety - Will compliment the other options
you chosen and how high you placed it but generally special moves and launchers

Mix ups - does not include Cmd grabs for this thread

Sets ups -think of Ice clones, mines, orbs, traits, etc

Okizeme - knockdown pressure

Wake ups and armour - I know in MKX they are the same thing but in most games they are not so don't judge them just from an MKX perspective

Aerial -can consist of good jump attacks, air dashes and air specials


My list

Most

1.Mids
2.Damage
3.Mobility
4.Range
5.Anti Airs

Least
1.Aerial
2.Armour

Shit man that was tough lol

Go ahead and try it
I'm honestly hype to see what people come up with.

I know this thread was long as fuck but it's just how I roll .
But most importantly TL;DRs are for bitches XD

1) Mids
2) Pressure
3) Damage
4) Safety
5) Counter zoning

Least
1) Ariel
2) Mix ups

I feel like I can play any character if I'm bothered but I guess those are the main things I'm looking for. I just want something that's satisfying to win with. If there's an absence of potato and the characters interesting I'll play them. Oh by the way that list took me forever and it's probably wrong lol.

What a neat thread idea!

1.) Range
2.) Zone
3.) Damage
4.) Mix ups
5.) Safety

Least
1.) Wakeup
2.) Mobility

EDIT: Wait, am I the only person so far to prioritize mix ups? Come on y'all, this is an NRS forum! We live by the mix. We die by the mix.

Footsies was not a choice

Footsies is a pretty broad term but usually consist of range, mids, mobility and other stuff I guess

I just assume the guy above meant range but since you got range and footsies you gonna need to change it haha

Yeah in a way they would and was think that too myself

But I kind of gave that an exception since it's always being considered it's own thing since the early days

But in a technical you are correct

I will edit that into the spoiler part
Nice thinking.
guess I'll go edit my reply too, with Command Grabs and jumps it was just too easy

Yeah same man

I guess this is more what you initially look for

Sure outside of Mobility I played Zod who was none of 4/5 I mentioned above

Zone
Set up
Counterzone
Mobility
Mix up
 
I'll be honest with you, I pick my characters based on their looks and how cool their moveset seems to me, and then adapt to the gameplay that lies behind. Not following your list I know, but that's how I do it.

Yeah seems to be a fine line between characters you're interested in (for whatever reason) and playstyles you prefer.

Yeah

But the goal of this thread is to not focus or consider into that much

So it's a pre assumed perfect World scenario
